About

Vurgu

Read full description

Vurgu is an offline metronome, rhythm notebook and tuner for music practice. Choose 30–240 quarter-note BPM, 1–40 beats per bar and 1–4 subdivisions. Beat units 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 follow their note durations: eighth notes click twice as fast as quarter notes at the same BPM. Choose ready accent groupings for your meter, including 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 and longer patterns, or enter your own groups. Accent, play normally or mute each beat. Choose wood, click, bell or sharp click sounds. Open the clearly labeled Tuner from the Tempo screen. Build practice plans, organize song sections, keep local presets, and share backups or exercise packs. The tuner processes microphone audio on device only while enabled; audio is never recorded or sent. English and Turkish interface. No account, ads, subscription or server.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vurgu at none against MIDI Score's 1. Vurgu also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). MIDI Score's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
