HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (46 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Bugs, things not working21%

14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ A few months ago the display was broken so that it only takes up about 1/3 of the screen.
★★★★★ I don't know why, but the app used to run fine for many years. But whatever update we got recently shrunk down the user interface into one corner. Rotating the device also doesn't help and makes it worse. Please fix.
★★★★★ Complete fail on the developer…
Worse after an update19%

13 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Then an update came and it made it so the app only takes up a small portion of my screen.
★★★★★ I can't update a saved song on the iPad, which I use to view my sheet music at the same time.
★★★★★ A recent update causes Tempo to display at about 60% size on my iPhone Air.
Price and subscription13%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Save your money and reject this horrible excuse for an app.
★★★★★ Unless you want a metronome for 4/4 time that is not very loud, even with your phone all the way up, don't bother downloading. When I switched it to 6/8 time, I only get a click on 1 and 4, even on slow tempos. What…
★★★★★ I been using this app for a while before, but I got the JBL Charge 5 and ever since I been using this app, a weird popping sound happens every beat and nothing I have tried fixed this from even returning the speaker,…
Slow, laggy, battery13%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ When I switched it to 6/8 time, I only get a click on 1 and 4, even on slow tempos.
★★★★★ This was my go-to metronome app, however after the latest update, the app has been running in the background, running my battery down.
★★★★★ When I hold down the speed up or slow down button the tempo changes extremely fast and it's very annoying.
Crashes and freezes12%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I finally see it's been updated but the app still crashes when you try and export a list for back up!
★★★★★ Everything works as advertised except the feature to export/share set lists which I need to be able to do.
★★★★★ The app freezes or just closes when I try to share.
Wrong or poor results7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Doesn't work. Period. Waste of time am money.
★★★★★ I must be on the wrong page.
★★★★★ Could be a compatibility issue with iPhone Xs or iOS, but it's pretty useless until they fix it.
Lost data, sync, backup6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ - I am unable to update a song in my setlists, so if I want to tweak something, I have to delete the song and add a new one - The app doesn't support split view, meaning I can't show my notes or sheet music and Tempo…
★★★★★ I deleted the app because I never got to use it and it won't give me a refund
★★★★★ This app looks nice, but the vibration and audio seem to get out of sync, and then it will recover, but it is a bit disconcerting.
Missing features6%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The app no longer opens the mail app. (I've tried it on two different iPads running iOS 26.6.1) App is of limited use to our band without this feature working. The rest of the app is nice but not being able to share…
★★★★★ Also, you can't edit the song title, BPM, or reorder the songs on your Setlist after you've created it.
★★★★★ But once a song is entered in a set list, you can't edit the tempo to fine tune it - you need to enter it all over again.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • I use this on my MacBook Pro, the app is great but please make it easy to duplicate setlists!! 4★, Aug 3, 2026
  • It would be great to be able to change/manipulate the subdivisions on a beat-by-beat basis (i.e. 4★, Jul 20, 2026
  • If you need more than this app, you need a drum machine. 5★, Jun 30, 2026
  • It would be nice to have a setting that temporarily adjusts all of a setlist's patterns by a percentage 5★, Jun 23, 2026
  • I wish I could be paid for the hours I've wasted trying to figure out its arcane, ill-conceived architecture. 1★, May 6, 2026
  • it's great, but it needs a way just to immediately select the BPM display, highlighted, and type in your chosen beats per minute. 3★, Nov 24, 2025
  • It would be great… if not moving on. 5★, Apr 26, 2025
  • Note to developers: Can you add an option for sharing set lists across devices. 5★, Mar 1, 2025

Looks great5%

19 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It has all the time signatures I need in an app with a well designed interface.
★★★★★ The user interface navigation is a little convoluted and could be more intuitive.
★★★★★ The UI for the set list is horribly clunky and it took me a while to figure out how to make changes to the settings (it IS described in the app support page).

★★★★★ Got this for drumming and keys, use it every day.

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026
PERFECT TOOL!

I always jump to this app when I’m writing a song. I especially love the tap ability to let me know what BPM it is so I can quickly find my rhythm for my metronome on my DAW right before hitting record.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2026
Wonderful

What a perfect tool to find tempos and it has many rhythm options

★★★★★Sep 20, 2026
Some BPMs won’t play

I use the set list feature often and you’ll have some BPMs cut out or not play correctly.

★★★★★Sep 15, 2026
Best Met app

I have had this app for a long time, I think I have had it for over 10 years give or take a year. I have always loved it because it keeps the songs in order and I have ways to build setlist. This is my go to met app, I don’t use any other. Has never failed me and does what I need. Can’t ask more from a met app. It’s great.

★★★★★Sep 12, 2026
No longer fills screen

This app used to be great. Then an update came and it made it so the app only takes up a small portion of my screen. This is both on my 13” pro iPad and iPhone Air. Tried deleting and redownloading. Nothing works. Still not fixed

★★★★★Sep 10, 2026
Great app I love it!

I have taken tempo app with me through 6 versions of my iPhone and I LOVE IT!!! I recommend it to my co-musicians all the time. I love the ease of changing time signatures to match every variety of score I’ve played. I especially love the playlist option which I’ve setup for a variety of performances. One little step to make rehearsals that much easier and less time fussing with the phone.
