User reviews

Fantastic!

It’s early days with this app, but it’s fantastic and so easy to use.
I’m a long time pop and rock amateur drummer who’s been dabbling with jazz in early retirement.
I’ve been working on All Blues (3/4, or I hear the musicians cry, 6/8).
It sounds simple, but I’ve been having a blast working through some fills whilst having one two three in my headphones and really enjoying my improvisation without sticking in that erroneous four!

Simple but effective

Excellent app for improving my internal time. Having random beats drop forces me to keep my own time.

Improves my time keeping

A fun tool to have.
Simple elegant interface.

One of only two

There are only two metronomes you will ever need and this is one of them. The other is Tempo Advance. They both allow for high complexity for advanced rhythmic work. They complement each other and you should purchase both.

Doesn’t work in portrait mode on iPad Pro

Pretty annoying when practicing with scores on the iPad. Other than the gradual function it really doesn’t do anythimg that Tonal Energy’s metronome doesn’t do, and that app is much more user friendly and has many more features. This was a game changing app in it’s day but has been left behind, unfortunately.

Response from developer

Hi, can I ask why annoying when practicing with scores on the iPad? In any case, I beg to differer: Tonal Energy is a decent app, but doesn't offer random muting, pattern muting, or any of the complex rhythmic time feels that Time Guru does.
