Poly Metronome holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Poly Metronome has 203 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Multiple Polyrhythms's written reviews are positive against 23% of Poly Metronome's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Multiple Polyrhythms ships an update every 3 months, Poly Metronome every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
