Convenient and malleable

There are many ways to use this metronome, and that’s why it’s so cool to use it every day. I’ve been relying on it for a long time now !

Incredibly useful app!

I dinged it one star for usability. It’s not a huge problem, but it has room to improve. I would give it an enthusiastic five stars, otherwise. As a bluegrass bassist, you’re essentially the kick drum. You don’t time to them so much as they time to you. If your internal clock is off, the whole band suffers. This app seems so much more effective than just a basic metronome. Love it!
