The pulse is not accurate. Tried with a few device from iphone 14, all having this issue. Will this be fixed soon. As I love this app so much. Easy to use ### 2/5 — Keeps time but not precise or consistent *2019-11-06, version 1.2.1* At quicker tempos the variation is very noticeable bordering on distracting, particularly when ads are loading. I’m tapping out and not using this again... ### 3/5 — Different sound please *2019-08-16, version 1.2.1* Loved the interface but the sound it makes was too annoying so I deleted it. An update with different sound options would be great. ### 2/5 — Ehh *2018-04-15, version 1.2.1* I like that you can tap the tempo you would like and add as many beats in a bar as you want but the sound that the metronome makes itself is not great, but otherwise it’s ok. ### 2/5 — TOO simple *2017-11-14, version 1.2.1* Doesn't work in the background, the sound is atrocious. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2017-08-30, version 1.2.1* Easy to use, but unfortunately it lags frequently. ### 3/5 — Silly adverts *2017-07-14, version 1.2.1* Like the smule with the girl.Its so annoying! ### 2/5 — Eh *2017-05-29, version 1.2.1* It's okay ### 3/5 — Functional *2017-01-11, version 1.2.1* Keeps good time. When your watch is facing you it bumps you. When you turn your hand to play guitar it stops. If it continued would be 5* ### 4/5 — Sound *2016-10-20, version 1.2.1* Decent app just don't like the sound ### 3/5 — Metronome is good, but shows ads. *2016-04-06, version 1.2* If there was an ad-free version, I'd buy it. But there is none, so I will uninstall it. ### 3/5 — Does job, but one issue *2015-11-07, version 1.1* Pretty good, does the job and tap tempo is a nice feature. A let down I find with this app is that the rhythm glitches out if I try to turn the screen off to jam along to with the phone in my pocket. ### 4/5 — Výborná *2015-05-21, version 1.1* Aplikace dokonalá ve své jednoduchosti. Zvolený zvuk dost protivný, ale dá se na něj zvyknout. Chybí mi jen možnost přepnout na zvuk klasického metronomu. ### 1/5 — Times up *2015-04-02, version 1.1* A metronome that goes out of time - absolutely useless. Poor app. Would not use ever again ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — seriously, you had one job *2020-12-28, version 1.2.1* does not keep steady time ### 1/5 — The lag renders this metronome useless *2019-11-24, version 1.2.1* I wish this worked - all I want is a basic click click. But every 10-30 seconds the click lags and throws off the entire rhythm. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-10-25, version 1.2.1* Most annoying metronome sound ever. And the latency from when you tap to hear the beep is awful;totally messes you up on your beat ### 1/5 — Crashes right after opening on watch *2019-05-31, version 1.2.1* Series 4 ### 1/5 — Bad *2018-10-25, version 1.2.1* Sound is terrible. ### 1/5 — Not good *2017-02-20, version 1.2.1* Mutes Spotify when opened. Bleep/tick volume is incredible loud too. Ouch! ### 1/5 — Iritating sound.. *2016-12-17, version 1.2.1* There's no possibility to change sound of the metronome ### 1/5 — Horrific sound *2016-04-28, version 1.2* Garbage ### 1/5 — Not useful on Apple Watch *2016-03-23, version 1.2* I was hoping for a simple app that would tap my wrist in time, but this one stops tapping after 6-10 beats or when I move my hands to the piano. ### 1/5 — Terrible Sound *2015-10-12, version 1.1* The sound of the metronome is more harm then good. It is just an annoying beep, if you are getting this to annoy your friends then get it, but if you are trying to actually play music then don't even think about getting it. Would not recommend. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC! As a conductor and pro, I have been looking for this for a long time!!!! *2019-10-30, version 1.2.1* This App is what I have been dreaming of for a long time! The only real thing one needs as a conductor and professional musician is a VERY GOOD tap function that integrates seamlessly with the normal metronome clicking function. The metronome is really an INDICATOR of ones inner rhythm, a sort of thermometer of your sense of tempo. One needs a metronome that has a clear, sensitive and user friendly TAP function in order to check one’s tempos often and easily. This one does exactly this: the tap function is VERY sensitive and accurate, and if you stop tapping it automatically starts clicking at that very tempo. Of course it has no fancy 7 against 11 clic-clacking… 😊, just a great METRONOME!!! Thanks so much!!! I use it as a conductor in my personal study and memorisation, I use it in my conducting classes and I recommend it to all musicians!

The tap feature however is a truly useful extension that metronomes cannot do. The metronome is useful for instrumentalists but the tap feature is important for composers to decide upon the tempo marks to use. ### 5/5 — One of the best app like this *2019-06-09, version 1.2.1* Easy to use UI and scale with ipad! ### 5/5 — Ein Metronom auf der Watch *2017-01-22, version 1.2.1* Hier ist die Watch das Metronom und nicht wie bei den anderen Apps nur eine Fernbedienung für das Metronom des iPhone. Gut gefällt mir das helle blitzen anstelle eines Tons. Gut gemacht! ### 5/5 — Fine *2015-11-29, version 1.1* It's a metronome ### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use .. *2015-09-22, version 1.1* 👍👍👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Good & reliable *2014-04-09, version 1.1* I use this metronome when teaching CPR as part of first-aid training. It has a simple no-fuss interface which allows easy setting of the tempo, it can be made loud enough for a medium-sized class to hear and has other functions such as tapping a tempo so students can discover (with eyes closed) how accurately they are in producing the correct tempo to what they thought they might be doing. For me this is a great App which does everything I need with no fuss. ### 5/5 — Es lo que es *2013-07-25, version 1.0.4* Un metrónomo gratis en el iPhone ### 5/5 — W porządku! *2013-04-05, version 1.0.4* Bez zbędnych wodotrysków - dokładnie to czego szukałem. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-03-12, version 1.0.4* Wow! I'm a violin player and this is amazing 4 me get this and yul b satisfied --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
