### 5/5 — Ticking

*2025-06-17, version 4.0*

It’s good

### 5/5 — Great app! Especially for being free

*2025-02-25, version 4.0*

I’ve been using this app for months now and it’s really helpful for learning doubles. Thank you for the app being free! Tempo changes and the option to keep the metronome going even when hitting on time would be great.

### 4/5 — great app but can’t upgrade

*2024-08-08, version 4.0*

this app has great potential as a tool for improving accuracy. unfortunately I can neither see the price for the full version version nor get the “buy now” button to work. I tried this in both the iPhone and iPad versions of the app with the same result. wrote to support. will update review after this is fixed.

### 5/5 — Time

*2024-05-31, version 4.0*

It’s improving my speed and timing so I give it a 5 star rating at the moment

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2024-05-22, version 4.0*

Downloaded. Crashed every time I touched the screen

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-05-19, version 4.0*

Simple and beautiful app. The only ask is to be able to raise the click volume.

### 3/5 — Good,  but can’t edit metronome sounds.

*2023-08-03, version 4.0*

I like this app and it’s simplicity.  It does what it says it does.   It looks nice and functions very well. What I don’t like is that you cannot edit the metronome sounds nor time signature.  It would be helpful to be able to dictate the time signature and sub divisions of the metronome. You can pay for the ability to edit or create permutations, but I don’t know how well this works without being able to edit the metronome sounds.  Thanks

### 3/5 — Tolle App um das Timing zu verbessern.

*2023-05-28, version 4.0*

Eine super Ergänzung wäre noch eine Möglichkeit, automatisch das Tempo zu steigern.

### 4/5 — Quiet Tick

*2023-05-06, version 4.0*

Great app that is monumental useful. good responsiveness and plenty patterns built in. I have a hard time hearing the tick of the metronome though, I wish I could change its sound.

### 4/5 — Great app for practicing

*2023-02-23*

This is a great app for beginners drummers and warming up. I use it a lot of my double pedals and I’ve seen improvement. My own concerns is that the tick/volume is way too low so it is hard to stay with the click

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.0 — 2021-05-19

A rewritten audio engine brings a much more enjoyable experience. The app hears more of your strokes and much less of the background noise or the metronome. Ticking also supports wireless headsets now (tested with AirPods) and despite their latency it's still quite accurate.

Give it a try and let us know how it feels :)
