"Simple, useful, and good looking! Love it!" - D. Yang MetroTimer is the most accurate metronome app on the App Store. It provides highly accurate audio and visual feedback, and easy to use timer to track your practice sessions. MetroTimer is also one of the most beautifully designed metronome apps - it was recently featured on Behance! http://bit.ly/YyvU3k MetroTimer has been measured to be more accurate than any other metronome app for iOS. Most app store metronomes are derived from Apple sample code included with the iOS SDK (Software Development Kit). And regretfully, this code fails to account for all the factors that can cause small inaccuracies to build up over time. MetroTimer, created by a software company that specializes in clock time measurement and regulation, is guaranteed to meet laboratory standards for accurate timekeeping. Metronome Highlights: ● Tested with clock time regulation equipment ● Practice timer to track your practice sessions ● Visual indication allows you to "see" the beat ● iPhone LED flash visual feedback support ● 8 metronome sounds including human voice ● Background mode, blends with other audio ● Tap tempo functionality Metronome Pro (in-app purchase) adds these features: ● Custom time signatures ● Accents and subdivisions ● Interactive beat editor ● Presets list

Most metronomes are made to be heard. This one is made to be seen. Pulseview shows you the beat as clearly as it plays it — so you can keep time in a loud rehearsal room, on a noisy stage, or with headphones off entirely. TWO WAYS TO SEE THE BEAT • Bars — each beat is a column that lights up in turn, its height showing the accent • Circle — beats arranged in a ring, pulsing as the bar comes round BUILT FOR REAL PRACTICE • Tempo from 10 to 360 BPM, adjustable in fine or coarse steps • Tap tempo — tap along with a track and the app works out the speed • Bars of 1 to 16 beats • Four accent levels per beat — silent, soft, medium, accented — so you can build anything from a plain 4/4 to complex mixed-metre patterns MAKE IT YOURS • Twelve colour schemes, from high-contrast crimson to a restrained monochrome • Eight click sounds: classic click, wood block, drum stick, clave, hi-hat, cowbell, kick drum, and a pure sine tone • Light and dark themes, following your system setting IMMERSIVE MODE One tap hides every control and leaves only the rhythm pulsing on screen. Prop your phone on a music stand and glance at it — no buttons, no clutter, nothing to distract you. NO NONSENSE No account. No ads. No subscriptions. The metronome works offline. Optional usage analytics not linked to an account stays off unless you allow it. Supported production builds automatically send limited crash and diagnostic data to Google Firebase to help us fix reliability problems.
