HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (176 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. 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.

Wrong or poor results4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ the beats are pure wrong for piano
★★★★★ If they were less aggressive about the upgrade, I would look into it on my own time and consider it, but when it greets me multiple times throughout my practice day and gets in the way of my work it comes off the wrong…
★★★★★ I have purchased both versions and with the price comes some useless upgrades like to be able to make your beat sound like a cowbell.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • This metronome can do far more than you'll need and covers the bare needs better than most. 5★, Sep 26, 2026
  • The app is amazing just wish you could do Split View. 4★, Jul 26, 2026
  • I wish there were a few more options for built-in notes like triplets, shuffles, gallops, reverse gallops instead of just the basic triple. 4★, Oct 17, 2025
  • A couple requests, (1) would be to have a counter in timer mode, I only see it currently in bar mode. 5★, Apr 11, 2025
  • I do wish there was access to more time signatures, sequencing of time sigs., and other features similar to what Tonal Energy has to offer. 4★, Oct 7, 2024
  • First of all, they should add more options to the control board and everything, even on the upgraded version. 4★, Nov 19, 2023
  • I have seizures & need a needle type displayed vertically instead of horizontally. 3★, Aug 24, 2022
  • I think that the metronome is good but it should have a tuner. 4★, Oct 14, 2021

★★★★★ Best free met just simple enough

★★★★★ Practice ready, easy and accurate.
Worth the money7%

29 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ The free version is honestly one of the best free metronomes out there.
★★★★★ Best free met just simple enough
★★★★★ (Remember when skilled professionals shared their hobby for free?) Anyway, the only downside so far is the lack of split-screen support, which I didn't even know was a thing.
Useful, it helps6%

25 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I am a flute player and this is very helpful :)
★★★★★ I love the Automator on Tempo helps my drum students increased temple without having to stop and set the metronome to the next Tempo that's just one thing I love about it
★★★★★ Really helps my practice, with several different styles for the metronome, the option to count in and to count bars.
Accurate, great results4%

15 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Practice ready, easy and accurate.
★★★★★ I use it all the time and it always gives me accurate results.

Looks great3%

14 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ 本来の用途ではないと思いますが、過呼吸防止に使っています UIも音もシンプルで良いです
★★★★★ The only reason it's not a 5 star is the UI/UX could use some streamlining and consistency.
★★★★★ Clean interface, beat subdivision, tap tempo, nice display options, doesn't scavenge your personal info — easily deserves five stars!

Tempo review

It’s cool asf

★★★★★Oct 15, 2026
Superb tool

I use Tempo every time I sit down at my drum kit to practice. It has been consistently great for years now. Thanks!

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
メトロノームはこれで間違い無し

かれこれ数年単位で使ってます。 変拍子もタップでのBPM設定もできる、リズム周りはこれを使っていれば間違いはないです。 欲を言えば、小節単位で4/4から5/4とかに切り替わるような設定が欲しいなと感じています。出たら有料でも余裕で買います。

★★★★★Oct 13, 2026

結構練習しやすい

It’s a tempo you can’t mess up a tempo…

Store description

Tempo, the premier metronome app for iOS is now available as this free Lite version. Tempo was featured as "New and Noteworthy" and "Staff Favorite" by Apple on the main iTunes landing page. Now you can enjoy Tempo's core features before upgrading to its full suite of features. Tempo Lite's engine is written from the ground up for high accuracy and stability. It keeps going even in device lock mode, making it a useful aid for live drumming. As a special treat, we've included the Tracker Module which helps in your practices by tracking the number of bars or time played. As opposed to purchasing Tempo, upgrading Tempo Lite nets you a dark colour scheme for the flipside views (instead of light). Visit www.frozenape.com for demo videos. Features Summary Configuration • 8 different time signatures: 1-4/4, 3/8, 6/8, 9/8, 12/8 • 6 rhythm patterns for simple meters and 3 for compound meters • Customize accents or turn beats off to create more complex rhythms • Tap tempo function • Tempo ranges from 10 to 800 Display • Visual feedback in the form of pulsating LEDs • Two pendulum types, each with two animation types • Flash whole screen Tracker and Automator Module • Track number of bars played or time your practice • Coach Mode alternates between unmuted and muted bars. • Stop playback automatically when limit reached • Automatic adjustment of tempo every n number of bars or n amount of time Sound • Choose from 4 sound sets: Digital, Analog, Blip and Wooden • Volume control and Mute button Miscellaneous • Classical metronome and Italian tempo markings • Multi-tasking support: plays in background with audio from other apps • Two interface themes: Light and Dark
