Tempo, the premier metronome app for iOS is now available as this free Lite version. Tempo was featured as "New and Noteworthy" and "Staff Favorite" by Apple on the main iTunes landing page. Now you can enjoy Tempo's core features before upgrading to its full suite of features. Tempo Lite's engine is written from the ground up for high accuracy and stability. It keeps going even in device lock mode, making it a useful aid for live drumming. As a special treat, we've included the Tracker Module which helps in your practices by tracking the number of bars or time played. As opposed to purchasing Tempo, upgrading Tempo Lite nets you a dark colour scheme for the flipside views (instead of light). Visit www.frozenape.com for demo videos.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WAPLE at none against Metronome's 3. WAPLE also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Metronome's advantage is ratings volume (4.2K vs 204). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Metronome sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. WAPLE asks for nothing beyond the download.
WAPLE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Metronome has 4.2K ratings behind it against 204, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 84% of Metronome's written reviews are positive against 98% of WAPLE's.
Metronome ships an update every 3 months, WAPLE monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
