I’d love to use a setlist as a basis for other setlists at gigs without recreating the setlist from scratch ### 5/5 — Solid and Highly Recommended *2026-07-24, version 5.1.1* This metronome app is my go-to for all my daily practice and performance applications. The set list feature keeps my different projects separate and organized. It is compatible with Apple Watch, so changing tempos in a set list between songs is fluid and easy by hitting the next button. For musicians who demand precision and organization with their time-keeping, Tempo is the best app out there. ### 5/5 — A must for any musician *2026-07-24, version 5.1.1* You might not always a click track/metronome, but when needed, this app simply can’t be beat. iPhone, iPad, that’s what I mainly use it on as a working musician, and use it extensively in both live and rehearsal situations. Keep your entire working song list and build new set lists on the fly in minutes. A must have for the modern musician and largely a necessity for drummers. ### 5/5 — Simple, Elegant. Buy it *2026-07-23, version 5.1.1* It’s a great app. No extra stuff you don’t need. Just works great, looks great, I’ve been using it for years. Love it ### 4/5 — Great app! *2026-07-20, version 5.1.1* It would be great to be able to change/manipulate the subdivisions on a beat-by-beat basis (i.e. 2nd partial of triplet beat 1, 3rd partial beat 2, etc.). Also, sometimes the app glitches in the middle of use, temporarily pausing the click. This only happens on my phone. Fantastic app! ### 5/5 — My Go-To Metronome *2026-07-08, version 5.1* I’ve been using the paid version since 2018 and it has always been my go-to metronome app. Its best feature is that it’s not complicated. It’s your metronome. Pay the small cost and lock in. ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-07-05, version 5.1* Has great features and it’s very intuitive. ### 5/5 — Tempo app *2026-07-04, version 5.1* Very helpful metronome app. Thanks for producing it. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-07-03, version 5.1* Very easy to use and reliable. Does everything I need. highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Great Flexible App *2026-07-02, version 5.1* Love this Metronome/App. I’ve used a lot of them on this platform and this one is the most flexible and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Time *2026-07-01, version 5.1* Keeps great time ### 5/5 — 大変良い *2026-07-01* 色々設定が出来て大変重宝してます ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-06-30, version 5.1* I love this app for its simplicity and consistency. I’m a professional Drummer and I use it to create set lists for all the performers I work with. ### 5/5 — Five Stars *2026-06-30, version 5.1* Tempo is a versatile and easy to use. If you need more than this app, you need a drum machine. (Edit:Two years later.. still the best deal) ### 5/5 — Best Metronome App Out There *2026-06-29, version 5.1* This is a great app. ### 4/5 — Good metronome *2026-06-25, version 5.1* Would be good if you could have a click off feature. I like a 2 bar click for playing live ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Recent update wrecks display *2026-08-04, version 5.1.1* A recent update causes Tempo to display at about 60% size on my iPhone Air. I’ve contacted the developer with the problem but haven’t received a reply. Currently almost unusable. ### 1/5 — No longer fills screen *2026-08-01, version 5.1.1* This app used to be great. Then an update came and it made it so the app only takes up a small portion of my screen. This is both on my 13” pro iPad and iPhone Air. Tried deleting and redownloading. Nothing works ### 1/5 — Metronome has shrunk since update *2026-07-28, version 5.1.1* Since the last update the metronome is now a 1/3 smaller on the screen. I emailed developers and they never got back to me. Apart from that a great metronome. ### 1/5 — Layout is broken on iPhone Air *2026-07-15, version 5.1.1* I don’t know why, but the app used to run fine for many years. But whatever update we got recently shrunk down the user interface into one corner. Rotating the device also doesn’t help and makes it worse. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Great app, terrible app support! *2026-06-10, version 5.1* Been using this app for years but backups/exports stop working a few iOS iterations ago and no updates! I finally see it’s been updated but the app still crashes when you try and export a list for back up! Complete fail on the developer… ### 1/5 — Worst metronome app ever! *2026-05-06, version 5.0.8* This app is more user unfriendly than the school bully. It is not intuitive, not easy to learn, and basically sucks at every level of frustration it engenders. I wish I could be paid for the hours I’ve wasted trying to figure out its arcane, ill-conceived architecture. Save your money and reject this horrible excuse for an app. ### 1/5 — セトリが書き出せない *2026-04-14* iPadでセットリストを書き出そうとすると落ちる。 ### 1/5 — Major improvements needed! *2026-03-21, version 5.0.8* BEWARE! NOT user friendly! Not intuitive. You must first set a BPM, then create your song title for a set list. If you forget to set the BPM, you have to delete the song and do it again. Also, you can’t edit the song title, BPM, or reorder the songs on your Setlist after you’ve created it. So if you need to move song # 5, for example, in your song list, or rename it, etc., you’re screwed. You must build a whole new playlist. Very disappointing, only finding out after paying for the app. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2026-03-03, version 5.0.8* No puedo modificar el tiempo dentro del repertorio creado, en el iPhone si puedo pero en el iPad no, he comprado las dos versiones de tempo ### 1/5 — iPhone 14 Pro 顯示位置錯誤 *2025-09-27, version 5.0.8* 請修正，已經很久了，都沒有修正，整個版面都上移了 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ol’ Reliable *2026-08-14, version 5.1.1* I have been using tempo for the last 8+ years (maybe even 10?). It has been my go to and will continue to do so! Would love more backgrounds, or an option to upload your own, but I love Tempo! ### 5/5 — Tempo *2026-08-13, version 5.1.1* I needed a beat Everything I need is here This is a great app ### 5/5 — I have used this every day for years! *2026-08-13, version 5.1.1* I’m a college music professor and use this app every day in my own practice as well as with my students. Highest possible recommendation! ### 5/5 — Great for drum gigs *2026-08-11, version 5.1.1* I’ve used this app in live settings for nearly 12 years. I know several other drummers who gig with it. Best metronome app I’ve found, tons of features and customization options but simple enough to open up and just get going. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-04, version 5.1.1* Love it, my students use it all the time with guitar practice ! ### 5/5 — Top notch! *2026-08-04, version 5.1.1* Been using Tempo for years and it’s absolutely fabulous. ### 5/5 — Spectacular! *2026-08-03, version 5.1.1* There’s nothing this metronome app can’t do. I’ve used it for practice now for years. But I’ve also used it for shows as well. It’s highly programmable and customizable. In short, this app rocks. Tommy D. ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-03, version 5.1.1* I love it. ### 5/5 — Tempo increase *2026-07-30, version 5.1.1* As a meticulous practicer, the ability to program a tempo increase is a game changer. I use this function daily. LOVE!!!! ### 5/5 — a metronome for serious musicians *2026-07-30, version 5.1.1* i’ve been using tempo for many years at this point, and it’s by far the most used app on my phone. it’s the perfect kind of simple - everything you need, very little you don’t. the full customization of colors is a really nice touch and completely optional. in the decade plus i’ve had the app, i think i’ve had stability issues twice. ever. and they were absolute flukes. if you’re a serious musician, this is the app for you. i recommend it to all my students and will continue to do so. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
