About this app

This application is a simple metronome. It's simple but has a very stable tempo, unlike
some of the other free metronome applications. And unlike nearly all free applications this
metronome has NO ADS so your kids won't be solicited by dating sites whilst practicing
their instrument.

PERMISSIONS NOTE: The only required permission for this app is for Power Management so it can keep the screen on (on user request).

Features:
Stable tempo
1st beat accent
Store "Favorites" for quick tempo recall (great for setting tempos for live performances)
Works in background AND simultaneously with other audio applications
Visual click for silent operation

It's exactly what it says it is. It's very easy to use, with easily adjustable BPM and time signature. My only complaint for this basic program is that if you choose to accent the first beat to know where the 1 is, it accents in a lower tone. For any musician who has a traditional feel for upbeats and downbeats, this makes it seem like it's accenting the 4 instead of the one. It became too difficult for me to keep the count and I got another app where the pitch is higher on the 1.

Thank you for your feedback, Stephen. It's a different sound for the 1st beat accent. Perhaps choosing a different click sound would work better for you. --Ethan

Very good for drumming, simple, no ads, you don't really need more than this. Only thing I don't like is that you have to go into the app itself to stop it - can't do it on the lock screen preview, or the dropdown, nor does it stop when you unplug headphones, all of which are ways to stop music playing in any other app. Also wish the click could be louder, since I am drumming to it, but it's hard to complain when it's free and I use it every day. Thanks!

Thank you Tom. I like your suggestions for stopping the metronome more easily when it's in the background. Simple Metronome makes an item in your notification list which you can click to bring you back to the metronome so you can stop it, but it would be easier if there was a "Stop" action right on the notification to save the step. --Ethan

Perfect free app with no ads. The name says it all, simple adjustable metronome. Very clean display with some really nice features and options, but nothing unnecessary. I love that you can also tap and it will tell you your BPM if you want, or set a visual indicator of each beat if desired, and that there's an option for if it will stay audible with other apps going or not. Perfecto.

Thank you Alex. I appreciate how you got all of the main features into such a succinct review. Another feature that you may find useful is the "Favorites", which allows you to store and quickly recall tempos that you often use. --Ethan
