Ratings and reviews

Edit 25.03.2024 - New WearOS app dropped! Honestly i love it's ergonomics (loved both old bezel-version and new crown version), and gonna say, now it actually keeps time, AS LONG as haptic, click, and screen flash aren't running at the same time, cuz they all do go in and out of phase, regarless of manual delay correction value. Tested on ticwatch pro 5. Seems like some async issue, idk rly. About old version - Loved both phone and wearOS apps, hated actual metronom cuz it didn't keep time.

Leaving a 1 star review until they improve the vibration strenght. The vibration is so short, I can barely feel it. The vibrarion feels like a microsecond dot instead of a line of vibration during the time interval one selects. For example, notification vibrations lasts for like .5 seconds, so it feels more noticeable and stronger. Everything else is ok.

I use this app with patients in Occupational Therapy. The functionality of the watch app fits my needs perfectly and the timer setting in the phone app allows for accurate documentation of progress.

What's new

• More metronome sounds
• Chinese translation
• Audio focus of app notifications no longer stops playback, lowers volume instead
• Rotary input improvements
