The best metronome app!

This is the best metronome app, I’m not even sure if I can call this a metronome app, this is a highly customisable drum machine/instrument practice app, just make sure you take the time to read the tips on the help section of the app and watch Joe Crabtree’s video tutorials online on how to use the app, as I, myself got confused the first time I use the app, and left a slightly lower review before, but it was my fault for not taking the time to browse the help section and not watching Joe’s video tutorials of the app online, so I stand corrected and changed my review accordingly. Very useful features such as creating your own drum patterns, odd time signatures, polyrhythms and random muting of beats, stop watch and auto logging of your practice time, daily journal and the ablity to generate a report of your practice and playlist on a PDF fomat, the polynome public library where you can download pre-made drum loops and presets and playlists and much, much more, this really is the ultimate practice tool for a musician, this app really encourages me to practice more. I own several metronome apps both paid and free, but nothing comes close, highly recommended, don’t hesitate to buy it. Thanks very much Joe for giving us the ultimate practice tool.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review.
The Tips and Tricks button should take you to polynome.net/follow/ where you can follow Instagram, Facebook or YouTube for regular mini tutorials.

I'd recommend tapping the (i) button to the right of the default presets. Each of those has a video explaining the basic features and answering the questions you had.

Also, there are videos in the help page that will help.

If you have further questions, please email me via the Contact Us link on the About page. I'll get back to you and answer any questions you might have.

Thanks,
Joe

Best metronome app!

I just got this app yesterday and so far I think this is an amazing metronome app! My rhythm is horrendous and I believe this app will help me cause it seems like you can do everything you ever wanted. I like how you can add as many bars as you like and create any type of rhythm. It’s really nice to know how a certain rhythm pattern sounds like. This app can do so much.

I give customer support 10/10 cause I had some things I wasn’t too sure on how to do. Joe has been very prompt in answering all my questions and he even made me a custom video explaining everything.

This app is a 10/10!! The best metronome app!! I highly recommend everyone to get this metronome app :)

Best metronome for time exploration

The possibilities are almost endless with what must be the best metronome on the market. You can buy a simple metronome for basic time keeping but this app gives you the tools to explore time and assist with the development of music skills to new levels. The user interface is easy and quick to use once understood (there are some excellent videos by the developer that make it easy and quick to get the most out of the app), plus - this metronome is a great aid in live performance. Highly recommended!
