Ratings and Reviews
This is what you want!
I have been using Frozen Ape’s Tempo for years. For live and practice. For some years now I’m unable to backup (it crashes), there are bugs and the app crashes pretty often. I have send them error-logs and many emails about the things I was struggling with. I even started to beg for help, but nothing happened. No communication from their side.
So, I started finally to search for a substitute. And man I found one. Polynome can do everything you can think of. It is very well designed. And after spend some hours watching YouTube videos and reading the online docs about how things work, I have set it up exactly as I want. Just perfect!
And the best feature is called support. While I was finding all the features on Sunday, something didn’t work as expected. I did send an email with my question. Within 15 minutes I’ve got an email back with the solution. That’s what I call support!
If you’re looking for an tempo app which can cover anything, just get it. It’s worth every penny.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the great review. I'm glad I was able to help you.
I'm working on improvements to the app to make it even more intuitive, but I'm always available if something isn't clear and aim to respond asap.
Thanks again,
Joe
Best drum Metronome around
Easy to use, lots of features! From Practice support to gigging, complete feature set for drummers of every level. Highly recommended Every new release brings new exciting features. Kudos to Joe Crabtree!
Developer Response ,
Thank you!
Lots and lots of settings.
Everything is adjustable and that is very nice. Never seen this much in a metronome app. Great app. But still I am looking for a little more. I am a trumpet player and in our orchestra we do often play difficult pieces of music with lots of variations in time signatures where I want to practice little pieces with multiple time signatures e.g. a sequence of 2/4 3/8 5/8 3/8 7/8 7/8 4/4. With the current settings in the app I can select a time signature of 37/8 and put the signatures of the example in one bar. The maximum time signature is 40/8 so there is a limitation. So I would like to be able to select for example 250/8 or, even better, be able to set multiple time signatures in one sequence.
But still. Great app.
Update: Got an immediate reaction from the developer. All I wanted to do is already possible. Just needed the pro version of the app. Ot's awesome.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the kind review. I’m glad you’re enjoying the app!
Rather than use a time signature of 40/8, I’d suggest using a playlist for the time signature changes. It’s much easier to see what’s going on that way, and that’s partially what playlists were designed for.
Please email me at joe@polynome.net and I’ll explain the easiest way to do it.
