Programmable Metronome
Read full descriptionHide full description
In addition to basic metronome functionality with a flashing visual indicator, this application provides a page of re-programmable buttons that allow frequently used tempos to be saved with a long-press and played back again at a single tap. A group of twelve buttons can be saved and recalled later to facilitate as many sets of tempos as a user could need (button groups can also be deleted with a long-press). On the main page, the user can choose between entering a tempo manually, or tapping in their own beat on the top half of the screen, which the app will use as a tempo. The app also includes two final features: a metric modulation calculator, useful for converting tempos in sheet music that uses metric modulation notation instead of specifying a tempo change in absolute terms; and a tempo watch that can be used to figure out the tempo of a song or beat that is currently playing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NoirPlus at Free against Programmable Metronome's $1.99. Programmable Metronome's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
