Best metronome app ever
07/19/2018

catpetter2001
This is not one of those apps that makes you buy their stuff to get to use more on this is one of the apps that is actually on the market free to use and isn’t trying to scam you into buying a lot of stuff just to use a metronome. They do have a wearable device that cost about $100 that’s can link directly to the app but it is not needed to use the app. I haven’t bought in the Yum wearable part of it yet, But with all of those apps that I’ve wasted money Paying for extra content I could’ve use that money to buy the wearable device. So I suggest you check this app out if you’re looking for a Metronome that’s easy to use it has many different features you easily get overwhelmed but that’s the point when it does have some cool options like you can tap a button over and over and over to set your own tempo . if you’re going to download a metronome stop wasting money and download this one if you want to use money not wasted because this is not a waste by the actual device I’m going to do that resume or update this review on without the app and tracks with the device one side by the device but for now it’s five stars

Edit: Klopfgeist and other sounds stutters at higher tempos and while using different subdivisions.

Edit: Be careful which sound you choose for the metronome, as they sometimes stutter and change the downbeat. In my initial review I forgot that I had changed the sound to Klopfgeist. There are some other sounds that act funny at higher tempos and different subdivisions, but some of them work fine. And the fact that you can change sounds, subdivisions, and time signatures is great. (Pre-edited review): I’ll preface by saying the interface is easy to use and I like that it is one of the few free metronome apps that allows you to customize time signature, subdivisions, and click sounds. I am a drummer, and having a tool to help lock in more difficult patterns, grooves, and rudiments is wonderful. However, whenever the audible beats are at highish tempos/actual playing speeds (noticed it starting with quarter notes above 120bpm, eighth notes at 64bpm, triplets at 84bpm), there are clicks that sound like digital clipping distortion, sometimes blended with the chosen click sound, sometimes swinging on offbeats. Occasionally, the metronome will stutter off-tempo and change the downbeat, halting practice, defeating the purpose of using a metronome. I only use the standalone app as a practice tool. Be wary if you are thinking about using it in a gigging scenario or spending money on it or its affiliated products.

Thank you for your detailed feedback! 🎶 We’re glad you enjoy the customizable time signatures, subdivisions, and click sounds—it’s wonderful to hear that the app has been helpful for your practice as a drummer!Regarding the stuttering and sound issues at higher tempos, it seems some sounds like Klopfgeist and others may perform less consistently under certain conditions. We recommend sticking with the sounds that work well for your practice setup, and we’re actively working on optimizing sound performance to eliminate these issues.If you’d like to share more details about the specific sounds or tempos where this occurs, please email support@soundbrenner.com. Your input can help us make the app even better. We hope you’ll continue enjoying the app and consider updating your review once we release improvements!Best,Florian, Founder, CEO & Head of Design of Soundbrenner

I've looked

shanewilson88
There's no better metronome app available; I've looked! This metronome is fully adjustable in pretty much every way I have needed, & as much as I use it I'm sure everyone will feel the same way. Here you can change the tone of accent and every other beat. Set your feel to swing or "play it straight." Once you have the tones you like you can adjust the volume of each beat as well as overall (a new add). I use the app for everyday practice, but I also use it in lessons w my teacher via Skype. This is the only app I've found that cuts through & has the volume/adjustability to be heard w my piano while streaming on Skype. I seldom write reviews, only doing so when I sincerely believe in a product. But who am I? Check it out for yourself! I bet it becomes your go-to metronome app. Next perhaps I'll order myself a metronome smartwatch that can connect w the app. Check it!

Thanks, shanewilson88! 🎹 We're blown away by your detailed feedback! It’s awesome to hear that the metronome is meeting all your needs, from customizing beats to cutting through during Skype lessons. We're glad it's become your go-to tool for practice, and who knows—maybe that wearable metronome is the next step! Keep up the fantastic work, and thanks for the glowing review! 🎧💪

The app was awesome but now

When I first started using Soundbrenner I loved it. I had the pulse then bought the core steel. The app was awesome to. Then they started the subscription thing which for what they offered was a good idea. Except that before it started I was able to put as many songs as I wanted (so far , had 65) but then with the subscription it is only allowing 10 unless you subscribe. I get why with the other features like cloud service and all. But when my songs where on my app and iPad only I don’t understand why I had to subscribe. Being a drummer for a church I’m playing different songs every week so I needed to have a long list of songs. I went to add a song and they made me subscribe. So unless you only have 10 songs or want to pay either $60 or 8$ after their new launch promo is over . You may want to find a different way of using a metronome. As for myself and the members of the band who are using this with me I think we may find another way. Don’t get me wrong , if you want the cloud ability or the videos this is the way to go but if you were just wanting to do the app metronome or something similar then find something else. Thank you Soundbrenner for the few years of use though. I really did like the metronome.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the app and its features in the past, but we’re sorry to hear that the recent subscription changes have impacted your experience.The limit on saved songs is tied to our subscription because features like setlist creation and cloud sync require ongoing development and maintenance. That said, we understand this can be frustrating for musicians like you who rely on a longer list of songs for weekly performances. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll take it into consideration as we work to improve.We’d love for you to reconsider subscribing in the future, as the funds directly support the app’s continued growth and innovation. If you have further thoughts, feel free to email us at support@soundbrenner.com. Thanks again for your years of support, and we wish you and your band all the best!Best,Florian, Founder, CEO & Head of Design of Soundbrenner
