### 2/5 — Scareware pop ups annoying

*2026-05-15, version 2.3.0*

I like the app itself. Easy to use, 5 stars. But the constant pop ups telling me I have a virus, which I do not, are beyond annoying. I may have to delete.

### 3/5 — ズレ

*2025-06-18, version 2.3.0*

数字のカウントと音声が一拍綺麗にズレてます。
改善お願いします。

### 2/5 — Does not do triples

*2025-04-29, version 2.3.0*

Waste of money

### 2/5 — Great apps overall, just the multi-bar not working right

*2025-01-19, version 2.3.0*

The app is user friendly and intuitive to use. Just a trouble I’ve been encountering on the multi-bar function, it doesn’t seem to work correctly when I make a 4/4 to 7/8, it just keep sounding like 4/4 to 7/4 instead. 
Really hope this can be fixed, so I can recommend it others too! :)

### 5/5 — music

*2024-12-04, version 2.3.0*

I wish you could put the music that you wanted to count out into the app for completely free

### 3/5 — ??

*2024-10-25, version 2.3.0*

I keep getting Chinese ads for some reason. I’m not Chinese!

### 3/5 — It was ok.

*2024-08-22, version 2.3.0*

I noticed that the met kept slowing down and speeding up without me changing the tempo. Other than that, it was ok.

### 5/5 — Super buenisimo

*2024-08-08, version 2.3.0*

Excelente practico

### 4/5 — Wow……. ( not in a good way )

*2024-07-16, version 2.3.0*

Anxiousness is coming…

### 5/5 — Rad!

*2024-07-07, version 2.3.0*

First off, I must say your app rocks!  Love it!  Very simple interface and can crosstalk with other apps.  The ability to hear the nome actually speak the beats for me is also immensly helpful.  It also thankfully works on my 5S.  I can use the 5S to navigate beats as I record on 12 mini or other device without disturbing the recording functions.  

Just wondering if you could show the type of tempo for each bpm that is playing? (eg Adante, Moderato, Grave, Adage,etc.)  Thanks for your time!

### 5/5 — Bleh

### 5/5 — Great free app

*2024-01-18, version 2.3.0*

For a free app this is definitely worth watching one or two random commercials. Very helpful when I’m sick of listening to my metronome.

### 5/5 — ドラム初心者

めちゃオススメです。

### 4/5 — Beats

*2023-11-27, version 2.3.0*

I think this app does help me a lot with my clarinet and piano practice, because it helps me keep in track of my beat in the song, so thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Metrónomo parlante

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-08-30, version 2.3.0*

Way too many ads!! NEVER, EVER GET THIS PRODUCT. If I could, I would give this a negative infinity out of positive infinity. 

I was recording my seating auditions for orchestra and I was using this metronome. Whenever I paused it, the ads would start playing and I would end up recording part of the ad in my audition, so I had to re-record my audition. This is a terrible product.

### 1/5 — Idk

*2025-03-20, version 2.3.0*

Garbage

### 1/5 — Ads inappropriate for kids

*2025-02-04, version 2.3.0*

I’ve used this app for a while while teaching and can no longer use it because a banner ad at the bottom of the screen showed graphic nudity.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-09-04, version 2.3.0*

Bad

### 1/5 — 😡😡😡

*2022-02-15, version 2.2.5*

### 1/5 — hate

*2022-01-27, version 2.2.5*

it’s totally useless plus dumb

### 1/5 — L’application se lance et reste figée

*2020-10-08, version 2.2.0*

Impossible de l’utiliser avec IOS 14.0

### 1/5 — Ad problems

*2020-07-05, version 2.0.7*

*2017-03-22, version 1.2.4*

This app sucks and I don't want it anymore

### 5/5 — A Great Alternative

*2026-07-28, version 2.4.0*

Sometimes you just need to have somebody do the counting for you. Whether you’re a novice Musician or just concentrating on sightreading something or just practicing an intensive passage, it’s great when the count is spoken out loud in English.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2026-07-18, version 2.4.0*

It’s rated a 100% for musicians

### 5/5 — Moira

*2026-07-03, version 2.3.0*

Don’t like the 
Adds

### 5/5 — User Interface (UI) - changing tempo

*2026-06-27, version 2.3.0*

Great app and helps me as a busy drummer when working out drum parts for new covers if I don’t have the drum chart/score.
A minor change request would be to have a faster way to change the tempo on the main UI… it’s can be quite tedious to have to keep scrolling left and right to change temp.
Thanks for a very useful musical tool.

### 5/5 — The complete metronome

*2026-03-03*

Until you’re completely familiar with your piece of music, or until you are a good enough musician to be able to count either in your head or out loud while you are playing, it is incredibly useful to have a voice that tells you what beat you’re on and when the new Measure starts.  I love it!

### 5/5 — Pretty sure this is 5 stars forever

*2026-02-05, version 2.3.0*

This app is very good, it helps me keep my beat in my piano practices, because my piano teacher always says that my rhythm is wrong 😑 and now that doesn’t happen anymore 😄

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-01-07, version 2.3.0*

It’s ok

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-08-12, version 2.3.0*

Just great

### 5/5 — my metranome

*2025-08-07, version 2.3.0*

I don’t get out much so I like to talk to my metranome

### 5/5 — Poo

*2024-12-31, version 2.3.0*
