Tuning App Energy | Metronome‪+‬ +4

good for a free app, I use it all the time

Good solid metronome app if you need something straightforward to practice with. Has different sounds to choose from so you can use a more subtle woodblock sound or a sharper beep sound. You can choose time signature and use subdivisions. To select tempo, you can either scroll on the tempo line or hit the -/+ buttons to move just 1 bpm at a time. You can’t type in a tempo, so it might take a couple seconds longer than usual to switch from a fast tempo like 180 to something slow like 50, because you will scroll for most of it then hit -/+ to get your exact number. Very workable though.

When you open the app, it always starts with an ad page for upgrade which you close out before accessing the metronome. So you have to do that each time, but again for a free app I think it’s great.

The visual indicator of the tempo is a line that slides back and forth with each beat, not consecutive dots that light up, in case that matters to you. Seems good to me but I typically don’t use visual on any metronome so it doesn’t matter to me.

Great app

I have been using this app for years. The redesign is superior to the original once you learn to use it, and Joe is very prompt and helpful in upgrading aspects of the app and helping us over the transition to something new.

Bring back landscape mode please

I used to love this app and recommend it to everyone. However, the newer interface makes it much harder to use. I think the lack of landscape mode made the numbers and buttons much smaller. Now they require a lot of attention to find and adjust, breaking up the flow of the practice session. Please kindly make a new update so I can go back to recommending your app to everyone. Thanks.

Resposta do desenvolvedor ,

The old version of metronome+ supported landscape only. As iPhones have gotten longer and longer screen ratios landscape became hard to design for. This is especially true with the new 'notch' devices(iPhone X, Xs and Xr). Changing our design also allowed us to work better on the iPad and support the new split screen feature, so you could for example, use Metronome+ and a sheet music app at the same time. I realize some users don't like this or it may take time to get used to and for this I apologize. For our small company this was simply the most efficient use of our design resources.
