- Works in both portrait and landscape
- Visual feedback in the form of pulsating LEDs
- Customize accents or turn beats off to create more complex rhythms
- Tap tempo function

Ratings and reviews

This is one of the two metronome I use for drum practice. Creating set lists is extremely handy, especially when tempos for specific songs change, this feature makes it easy to transition to the new pre-loaded tempo created on the list. One feature I wish it had, would be to mute bars so you can practice developing your internal clock. I've only found one other app that does that, but that one isn't as versatile or user-friendly as this one.

Metronome works well but limited. The few meters is fine but can limit if you want to practice odd times. Click sounds are also limited; sometimes I find that accent counts begin to sound the same especially when playing in a triple feel time sig. So you wind up losing where the "1" is. Maybe I need more practice. Overall great and reliable app though!

I just got this app yesterday. I'm using it with a child with special needs to help him visualize the beat. I'm not sure how helpful this so is going to be for that. The full screen flash will be overwhelming and it throws me off beat so I'm wary of using it with him. The LEDs are small and the light is very subtle - not very helpful even for a typical person. It would be great if I could change the size of the LEDs; even better if the LEDs could flash and fade out with each beat. Thanks.
