Used to be good by anonymNow I can't even open it. I have 4 pop ups for stupid games every time I touch anything. Seriously, if you're that hard up for affiliate cash, use an affiliate related to the field. 1/5
Suddenly popups by anonymI loved this app for a very long time and used it all the time in my lessons. Now, there are popups constantly and now my phone is apparently infected with malware. Every time a window pops up, my phone starts freaking out and said it's going to crash from malicious software. Ridiculous. Uninstalling. It was a great product, but it is unusable now. 1/5
It's a working metronome but you can do better by anonymIt's got all the standard stuff as well as cool sound packs, one of which isn't even painful to listen to! How can you go wrong with an app that goes tick? Well, by putting ads on it. They get pretty inconvenient at times, sometimes just popping up over anything I'm doing. It also uses an astounding chunk of battery for a ticker. If you get this it'll work, but you'd be doing better for yourself with basically any other metronome app. 2/5
ads interfere with timing by anonymThis worked really, really great when the ads were broken. Now, when the metronome is running and it switches the banner ad that displays, there is an audible pause. As a time-keeper app, that's unacceptable. I understand the need for ad revenue in a free product, but that was not the way to do it. Either the ad switch needs to happen in such a way as to not impact the timing, or it needs to happen when the metronome is stopped. 3/5
Spam by anonymEnjoyed this for several years but now it repeatedly starts up play store with no user interaction. Play store opens into whatever ad is displayed in the app, google are you listening? Isn't that a violation of service? I encourage everyone to boycott this app and this type of behavior. 1/5
by anonymUsed to be great, but like others I am uninstalling it due to it loading ads in the browser and in Google Play Store every few seconds while I am trying to use the metronome. This spammy behavior seems counterproductive if it drives away so many users of the app. 1/5
Omg! by anonymThank you so much! This app is perfect! I'm a beginning guitarist and this helps so much! I can have the metronome paying in the back ground of a youtube video! I haven't seen another metronome that can multi task! And it has easy adjustable beats! Buy far a 5 star! Although less ads would be nice! But great all the same! 5/5
Used to be good by anonymI used to love this app. It has great features. Now without touching it, it will take me to a website or play store to get an app. I have no problem with it having ads, but it shouldn't leave the app to take new to the ads ' location! 1/5
Good, but perhaps increase max volume by anonymI like the app a lot. It's very simple and easy to use. It's just a very quiet metronome. I use while drumming. Even with ear buds in and headphones over them, it's still fairly difficult to hear even while playing softly. Maybe increasing the metronome decibels or adding a different sound to really cut through the music would be very nice. 3/5
by anonymAn absolutely fantastic app that ruins itself with intrusive and disruptive advertisements that have basically rendered the app unusable. Every time I open it I'm immediately directed to some random app or game on the play store. I have no issues with advertisements on a free app content creators deserve to be paid for their work, but when these ads render the app useless it ruins the experience. 2/5
Hacking my phone by anonymI have had this app for a grand total of four months, and it never did anything but what it was supposed to do. How ever I was practicing one night, and it kept bringing up spam. It wasn't just any spam though, it sayed i had been hacked and that I had gotten it from adult websites. I don't view such websites, let alone on my phone. Every time I touched anything on accident, it pulled up some random fake security app. It was a nice app, except for this. Consider it heavily before getting. 1/5
Ads ads ads and takes too many personal information by anonymIn App ad that redirect to Google play making impossible to use the App while connected to the Internet. It also takes information from the sim card, Installed apps, network and device details. If you like ads and like being monitored, download it! 1/5
Works, but with major flaws. by anonymKeeps a beat and is customizable. However, the interface is clunky and ads are prominent. Several times ads have opened while the phone was on the piano, away from me; it seems like the developer has programmed the app to occasionally auto-open ads, since my phone never does this with other apps. Disappointing. 3/5
Ads have gone too far by anonymGood app in terms of functionality, served me well for years, but recently the ads have gone next-level and force-open to a store page or website. Just today it took me to a porn site. Last straw for me, will be looking for an alternative. 2/5
Intrusive ads and malware by anonymDO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Before this was a very useful tool, however the app now redirects users to the ads they banner at the bottom without actually clicking the link. Recently the app also will open malicious websites with inescapable pop up warnings that is very hard to get out of. I have isolated this app specifically and tested on my other devices and this is definitely the perpetrator. Don't waste your time with this trash, it could potentially damage your phone. 1/5
Was awesome, now it's total crap. by anonymThe metronome itself was great, so I put up with the invasive ads, even when they opened up the app store, because I liked it so much. But when it starts launching full screen ads that hijack my phone's vibration function? Screw that! I'm done with this app and this developer for good. 1/5
Spam locked up my phone by anonymThis used to be a great app, but then the ads kept popping as soon as I opened the app. I use it in a church group practice setting, and up until today it was merely irritating to have to wait to use the app. Today, it took me to a site that locked my phone controls and said it was badly infected with viruses from visiting porn sites! White screen and vibration ensued. Had to restart phone. Uninstalled. 1/5
playstore pops up by anonymI used to love this app. Now it randomly pops up the play store without me even clicking anything. I find it very distracting when I'm trying to focus on practicing. Also the add bar is too close to the controls and does get clicked mistakenly. 1/5
Incredible! by anonymI've used this magnificent app for some time now, and I'm so satisfied! It has all the features that I like except triplets. Also, it lags slightly. However, it can do more than a 600 dollar metronome, and it's completely free! It's insane!! Thank you for this incredible, free metronome. 5/5
The mighty have fallen by anonymI've used this app for YEARS, both on and off the stage. It was the best click on the market. Unfortunately the past two weeks I've been getting nothing but porn site pop up ads. They'd pop up while playing live and run through our in-ear mix. Very disappointed and very unprofessional on the makers of this app. 1/5
Something broke by anonymI used to love this and was very useful, however recently it has been stopping, force closing or not when opening. When it stops, the icon that it is running stays on my notification bar for several days but will not open app. I need to uninstall and find one that consistently works. 3/5
Pop ups by anonymEvery time I'm in this app, Google Play opens to the Lyft app, Uber, Clash of Clans, and another game. I wish I could say it only stayed within this app, but after a while they were popping up everywhere. I wiped my phone and everything was great I until started using this app again. Very disappointing. 1/5
Used to be great by anonymI have to say, this is my favorite metronome app. The click regardless of what it is cuts through whatever in playing making it incredibly useful. However, the reason I'm giving it one star is the amount of ads on this app make it virtually unusable unless you cut off WiFi and data. I understand the producer needs to make a living, but this isn't how you do it. Take out the constant popups and this app will be amazing. 1/5
Fab with classical guitar... And No Ads!! by anonymDoing a grade 4 piece and I needed a bit of help with the timing, this did the trick and helped me get it right! Maybe it is just no Ads for me as my Samsung galaxy y is rooted, but apparently this is meant to be the ad supported one! 5/5
Very disappointed by anonymThe app is very useful. However, the ads can be detrimental. I clicked an ad by mistake while I was in a hurry and my phone appeared to be infected by malware. The worst part is that a fake amazon site and an adult content site popped up. Do not get this if it is for your child! 1/5
A must have for ANY musician! by anonymAs a drummer, this app came very much in handy during my band's trip to the studio. It is not only a great metronome, but it's also a great teacher. This app alone taught me more about time signatures and BPM than any music theory book could. Also great for practices and shows for the inexperienced. VERY recommended for aspiring progressive musicians. 5/5
Excellent, just excellent. by anonymFantastic metronome app. I use it all the time for practice, and it never turns me down. So simple to use, and yet very flexible. Only thing I lack is for the UI to flip horizontal and match my new nexus 7. Besides that it works perfect. Doesn't get in the way, just helps out in the background. Very nice. 4/5
Sreen rotation by anonymI use this app on my tablet, and I would like to ask You kindly to add the option: Screen Rotation. It could really boost the usage of the app if I didn't have to rotate my head for setting a new tempo. Highly inconvenient for a great app like this one. Please make it setable for Screen Rotation. 3/5
Time to move on, I guess by anonymThis metronome app used to be the absolute best. It came with a lot of features that other apps made you pay for. You could subdivide any time signature easily. Now all its good for is opening spam pages, sometimes back to back! And then I can't even get it to work most of the time. I'm very disappointed as I use this metronome daily in my practice. Time to move on, I guess. 1/5
Great app for a DJ! by anonymAs a DJ it can be difficult to count beats in some songs to know when to cue the mix. I set the metronome to the required BPM of the song and when it's needed I use one earphone to hear the metronome and use my headphones as normal to keep track of the mix. Top quality app. Highly recommend for any DJ who wants to improve their mix. Thanks a lot. 5/5
by anonymAds take over the app and switch you to the browser, randomly, quickly and often. Part of the metronome is SEEING the beat count, and watching the rhythm, but you can't see the numbers moving when it constantly throws you OUT of the app and into a random browser commercial. And imagine, if you're using a metronome, the odds are, your hands are busy playing the guitar or doing something like performing where you can't pause to exit out of browsers 4 times in a 2 minute period. I don't think it was originally like this or I would've uninstalled it immediately - must be some aggressive update. 1/5
Daily necessity. by anonymGabriel, I hope U get enough income for working on this app, because it's completely great. I don't need separate devise for everyday using anymore, there's ALL in the smartphone. For free. Good job should be paid well. BUT, I hope it's still not so much because of the money, but because of the inspiration :) Big thanx. Keep up. 5/5
The ads now INTERRUPT the beats?! by anonymThis is a fabulous app, simple to use with a straightforward interface. But now the ads interrupt the beats? In the middle of a rehearsal a Google Play popup shows up. I don't mind getting ads since it is a free version, but why must it interrupt what we're doing? 4/5
Nice for teaching.. by anonymI used to always carry metronome in my bag but since I found this app, my metronome is no longer needed and given to my student .. thank you for this app and I couldn't ask for more. Maybe you would consider making a programmed metronome? Like for 8 measures you would have duple meter then for next 8 measures in triple meter sort of thing. That will make my life way easier! It would totally be worth the money! Thank you! 5/5
LED inicator by anonymNeeds to have a visual cue as well. Preferably, the device's LED indicator would flash with the tempo. If that is not globally feasible enough for most device's (I have S3), then maybe a flashing area on the screen. The changing numbers is actually a little much to keep up with in your brain when you're trying to play and keep your own tempo, not to mention singing along. 4/5
Amazing!!! by anonymThis is very useful app for all musicians. Scan set various time signatures and its quite loud ans clear. You also can change the speed quite easily, and it stays on for 30 mins after the screen goes off... I think this is the easiest to use and most effective metronome I've found on the play store.. :D:D 5/5
Great App for a drummer! by anonymI use it while playing live on shows. I wish it had an option to have bigger push buttons. So i could adjust the speed easier while playing. Also it would help a lot, if start/stop could be controlled by the button on headphones. Because i put on bluetooth headphones n phone is not easy to reach. Ill be waiting for an update!. Thanks! 5/5
Ads ruined it by anonymEverytime I open the app now it just opens up an advertisement in my browser and it doesn't stop no matter how many times I close it. If there were no advertising problems the app would be close to a five stars for me. It simple ans easy to use and has some nice features I would use but like I said I can't use it now so I had to uninstall it. 2/5
Porn? No thanks. by anonymI would prefer to rate this app on how well it works, instead of the ads it shows, but I can't. I'm a music teacher in a Kindergarten-8th grade public school. Today while I was using the app during middle school band rehearsal, an ad for porn popped up. Thankfully I'm the only person who saw it, but I used this app all the time at work, and a student could have easily seen that. I can't take that risk. It's fine as a metronome, but I thought it better to pay for an ad free metronome. 1/5
Amazing. by anonymWhen they say this has everything a musician could ask for in a metronome, they aren't kidding (well , everything but swing eighth note subdivision, but that's still really good). It's a better metronome than my actual, physical metronome. It deals with different meters beautifully; it has amazing subdivision options (again, other than swing); its "tap the tempo" option makes transcription so much simpler. Really, just a great app all around. (Not to mention, it's FREE!) 5/5
