Not AUV3….

Très bien mais pas de mise à jour donc inutilisable dans DAW Looper , PLEASE AUV3 mise à jour.

Response from developer

Hi Artdubruit, Thank you for your kind words and for the feature request! Super Metronome is designed as a dedicated tempo practice tool, with features like Progressive Tempo and Beat Hider, so it lives outside the DAW plugin workflow by design. For full AUv3 integration in your DAW or looper, Pop Drummer is the right choice: it loads as an AUv3 plugin with state saving, multiple instances, and a complete drum machine feature set built for production environments. We hope that helps you find the right tool for your workflow! Thank you for your review.

Very very very quiet

I’ve had this app for a while but never use it. Somehow I got the sound turned off and I can’t figure out how to turn it back on. How about a <restore defaults> button?

Response from developer

Hi apps-alot, Thank you for using Supermetronome! This can happen when the app runs in the background for an extended period, iOS suspends the audio engine to save battery. The quickest fix is to fully close the app by swiping it away from the app switcher, then reopen it. The sound should come back right away. We appreciate your feedback on a Restore Defaults button, it's a great idea and we've noted it for a future update. Thank you for your review.

Amazing technology

Unbeatable platform .. wow… always good to learn with this app.its very clear and technically designed. Love it.💕

Buy this instead of the more popular metronome apps!

No subscription required… just a simple, musical, and surprisingly powerful rhythm tool you can use for years. Bravo!

fix errors and bugs

I take off two stars because the program crashes during calls. And it also does not work if you use the program "X AIR" for the Behringer remote control

Response from developer

Hi Julia, Thank you for the detailed feedback, this is genuinely helpful for us. You're right that IAA-based apps can lose their audio context when another app like X AIR takes over the audio session. A quick workaround worth trying: open the app in standalone mode first, then launch X AIR. Initializing the audio engine before any other app competes for it tends to prevent the conflict. For phone call interruptions, iOS forces an audio session reset that IAA apps can't always recover from gracefully, we're aware of this and working on improving resilience in future updates. We appreciate your patience and the 3 stars you're still giving us! Thank you for your review.
