Metron (Pro Metronome)

The app works exactly as I need it to. I love all the functions it has and because I take my iPod everywhere I always have it to help me practice now, even in my lessons with my teacher, who also loves the app :)

There is none that I can find. App lets one put any number of note values in a bar, so what sense is it to have meter? I see no way to make a simple thing like a triplet. Do not purchase this app.

It so good it makes my butt tingle..

I bought this for accelerando capabilities and it's more than delivered. Also the mixed meter stuff is EASY to figure out (not sure what everyone else's deal is). My only problem is that this is ergonomically tricky to use on the fly- the controls are so small that if you want to flip back to a slow tempo (if you want to repeatedly practice an accelerando for example) it takes several seconds to find an exact tempo that's more than 4 bpm away. If you attempt to slide the control with your finger instead of using the +1 or -1 buttons you'll overshoot by 20 clicks, almost always. Even expanded on the iPad it's not much better. I'd still buy this app for accel. and multi meter but I hope the interface gets updated to be more ergonomic. Thanks!

I love that it goes down to 1bpm. Very flexible, love it

I enjoy the many options for different patterns. I use this fort High School drumline. It's been very effective.

I was looking for a metronome that would do auto-advancing of tempo and this fit the bill. It can do really complex things with custom beats ala a sequencer if you're practicing a difficult piece of music with various meters and tempos. My needs are not that complex.<br/><br/>The biggest thing this app needs is a UI overhaul. The main screen tap targets are very tiny and there is no reason they need to be. Apple HIG suggests a minimum 44x44 tap target and the buttons are smaller than that. They should be as large as possible and possibly have some mechanism for advancing more than a single bpm for a button press (tap and hold for instance). The Play/Pause button should be the largest button on the screen.<br/><br/>And how about implementing some gesture recognition? A tap anywhere (not otherwise intercepted by a target) could be used for play/pause. Swipe up/down could raise/lower the current tempo by some fixed amount (determined by a setting).<br/><br/>Lastly, I've noticed some bugginess with the beat indicators not functioning correctly with variance being set, and/or adjusting the tempo and/or variance on the fly as it's playing. The indicators get lost and don't animate correctly.

This app is great for programming tempo changes, accelerandos, ritardandos, and other tempi modifications. I made a sequence for every rehearsal section. Wonderful for consistent practice. Little buggy at times but, if your a music professional this is a MUST HAVE!
