About this app

Metronome Beats — a free, accurate metronome, drum machine, and speed trainer designed by musicians. With over 25 million downloads, it's used worldwide for solo and group practice, teaching, live performance, dance classes, running cadence, and golf putting drills.

Built for one-handed control: tap to nudge the tempo by 1 or 5 BPM, sweep the slider, or tap out a tempo with your finger. Visual beat indicators let you follow the bar at a glance — mute the sound and stay in time visually while you read music or talk to your students. Settings are saved automatically, so you pick up exactly where you left off.

Practise smarter:
- Speed Trainer — gradually increase or decrease tempo by bars or seconds to push your speed without losing time.
- Drum Machine — play along to real grooves with multiple drum kits, programmable patterns, and full mixer control.
- Polyrhythms, swing, and complex subdivisions — up to 16 clicks per beat, custom accent patterns, and unusual time signatures.
- Tap tempo — don't know the BPM? Tap it in.

Built-in features:
- Tempo from 1 to 900 BPM
- Italian tempo markings (Largo, Allegro, Vivace…)
- Custom presets — save and recall your go-to settings instantly
- Per beat mute and accent control
- Adjustable pitch and custom sounds so you can hear the click over your instrument
- Timer to stop the metronome after a set number of bars or seconds
- Bar and beat counter
- Plays in the background alongside sheet-music and tab apps
- Lock-screen and Bluetooth media controls
- Optimised tablet layout — every control on one screen
- Light and dark themes
- Export and import settings as .mbeats files to share between devices

Metronome Beats Pro unlocks tools for serious practice and live performance:
- Setlists — chain presets together for rehearsals and gigs
- Songs — build a song from sections (intro, verse, chorus…) each with its own tempo, time signature, and bar count
- Live mode — large, gig-friendly controls and quick switching between songs on stage
- No adverts

Whether you're learning your first scale, drilling tricky passages, or running a band rehearsal, Metronome Beats keeps you in time.

Ratings and reviews

This app fits my needs for practicing jazz piano very well. It works like an old style drum machine but with an easier to use interface. You can edit the pattern of drum hits on a grid and you can start with a preset and save a variation of that pattern, I have patterns saved for most of my practice list. Drum Genius sounds more like a human drummer but you can't edit the presets. If you want the ability to edit patterns this app is the one to get.

Really Great App!!! There's a lot of options that come with this app. I downloaded it for free. Then I see, if I pay $9.99 one time I can have the app forever. This app is great!! Tons of different possibilities. From different sounds, different metronome layouts, and of course you can create beats and divide them up anyway you like using different sounds creating drum grooves. I highly recommend this. It is a fantastic tool. If I could give it more than five stars I certainly would.

I'm using the app for my practice sessions. I'm a returning flute player after 53 years, and I'm playing with a band for the first tune since high school. I need to "woodshed" a lot of the speedy passages, and this has been very helpful in keeping me on track. I can start slowly, then gradually speed up to where I'm expected to be! Thank you so much! I anyone had told me even 2 months ago that I would've come this far by then, I never would've believed them!
