El mejor metrónomo digital

Increíble todas las opciones que tiene, sin duda la mejor opción de metrónomo digital. Pulsos irregulares, guardar play list, etc etc etc.

Does NOT work with iOS 26

I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max and channel 2 does absolutely nothing. Worthless to me. I want a refund.

Fantastic Metronome

I use this every week in church. The sounds are customizable, tempos are easy to set, I can save the songs into a set list and I can trigger start/stop/next song with a Bluetooth pedal trigger. This was money well spent. Couldn't imagine using anything else.
