Features
Read full description

A simple visual metronome that lets you share the tempo even during loud instrument practice, such as band rehearsals. To help you sync with the start of a song, a count-in is displayed at the beginning. It's also ideal for situations where there's loud noise around, when loud sounds aren't allowed, or for people with hearing impairments.
