About this app

Tempo is the premier mobile metronome app. It is used daily by performing artists for their gigs, teachers in their lessons, students for their practices and even golfers and bodybuilders in their training.

Ratings and reviews

So far, so good. It fits my needs. The only issue is that I have to repurchase it. Originally, I bought it via the Amazon Appstore, but it never got updated, so I can't install it on my new tablet (with a higher OS version). I searched and found it on the Google Play Store, and the price is reasonable. It's cheaper than most metronome apps, and the features meet my needs. Thanks!

Best one I've found, with just a few annoyances: 1. The flashing lights take *far* too much screen space, which leaves hardly any space for the setlist! The lights can be literally 1/4 of the height and it would be fine. 2. The navigation in general is bonkers - like really unhinged in places! I defy anyone to work out how to edit a song without getting utterly confused. 3. In "gig" mode, the fact that you can accidentally edit your set list (including the BPMs!) is completely inexcusable when there is a "rehearsal" mode as well. Playing live? Write out a set list with the track BPMs on it as a back up, because this app will one day f* you up on stage. So in summary: a usability-free zone, but But APART from that, comparatively good.

I have made my song list..settled tempos,sound,counting..When I started to use it there was just one click sound on the first dot of first bar..four others was muted !!! than I marked them to be sound..than it is working..but when I choose another song from my list just first bar dot is hearable others doesn't!!! Why did I pay for the app???
