    Seriously worth every penny
    It is a powerful metronome that has made my life better. It is allowing me to practice ideas in ways that I have not been able to. For example: I can take a standard, play a chord on a eighth note and rip melodic ideas, then change melodic focus at the next measure in relationship to the next chord, and play that chord for an eight note. In other words chord on beat two, melodic, new melodic center, new chord beat two. I can do this now and know that I am hearing it right because the metronome is saying the numbers. Before I would have to trust my feel. Now I can check. (Every now and again I am wrong but, I was doing better then I thought). Downside is with power comes a learning curve. I feel that what I am getting out of this app is well worth my time spent in understanding it. Awesome Show more

    Nothing like it
    For drummers - Once you figure out what it can do, I guarantee it will blow your mind.

    Incredible app, stellar support!
    If you can think of it, Polynome can do it! . It is fully compatible with Audiobus and integrates well with so many other apps. Since I discovered Polynome I completely stopped using tradicional metronomes. There is a learning curve to it, but the app has a ton of built in guides , tutorials and examples. Polynome will take your practice and experience to the next level. Support is great, the developer is truly committed and over the couple of years I’ve used this app, he has always helped me answering questions and providing guidance. I use it to practice my bass playing, one of my kids with his guitar and the other with his drums. We are all so happy to have found this app. Show more

    This must be graphically optimized for a larger screen
    I have an iPhone12 and small fingers. Yet when I try to stop the metronome and click on help so I can watch the videos to learn how to use it, it starts the metronome clicking again! I just wasted an hour I didn’t have fighting with what seems like click accuracy issues. Show more

    Made for Drummers, by a drummer!!!! The Best!
    This is by far the best metronome for serious drummers. It enables better practice routines and focus on specific skills. Furthermore, its great for gigging in terms of getting the BPM in your head or even programming the intro groove to listen to listen to a few bars before clicking the band in. My band has a library of over 200 songs, so this is very helpful to me. Lastly, Joe has dedicated his passion for drumming and excellence into this app. and continues to find ways to enhance it. Thank you Joe! Show more

    Unrivaled capabilities
    Take any metronome you’ve seen or used and multiply that by 10, no maybe 100 and that’s the functionality of this incredible app. It can be a simple time keeper or the mist complex (poly)rhythm generator and metronome you can imagine…and everything in between. Any serious drummer or rhythm-based musician SHOULD have and use this. It’s always at your fingertips if you load it on your phone. Thus APP is not only incredible but Joe had been maintaining and improving it constantly for years. If I could give if 10 stars I would. It’s CLEARLY the most valuable “tool” I have for improvement. It seriously rivals YouTube itself as a tool for improvement. Does it have any weaknesses? I’ve not found any but there are 2 things I’ve noted. Thus APP had so much flexibility that you’ll want to go through the tutorials (also excellent) to fully understand and leverage this incredible app. Everyone wants to just dive in and use this, and it’s intuitive enough to do that. But watching the tutorials is a great time investment. Do it. Secondly, and this is not a fault of PolyNome, I’ve experienced audio latency issues when listening with Bluetooth earbuds. It’s a Bluetooth issue, but also the only frustration I’ve encountered. The Bluetooth audio is accurate, just slightly delayed and out of sync with the visual screen depiction of the rhythm played. You don’t experience this using the internal speaker of your phone or IPAD. Show more

    When you need more than just a click
    If you need more than just a simple metronome, then PolyNome is the best app to reach for. I have tried many metronome apps over many years; I find PolyNome is the most feature rich and best supported metronome app in the App Store. The developer is very engaged and responsive. There is a learning curve, but once you understand how to create rhythms and grok the concept of combining presets and playlists, then it becomes easy to create exercise-specific or song-specific metronome patterns to support your practice. The ability to map sounds to clicks, choosing from a huge sound library, and to create drum kit sequences, and even layering rhythmic patterns. The possibities are endless. And once you have a library of metronome pattern playlists you'll be able to move through a practice session smoothly, without getting bogged down fiddling with your metronome settings. I tried a quite a few otheer metronome apps that aspire to be a flexible and powerful rhytmic pattern editor and player. The all fell short in some important way. I was relieved to discover PolyNome and find that it does everything I need, and everything I think I will ever need from a metronome app. If you need more than a simple click, and if you want to stop fiddling repeatedly with metronome settings while practicing, if you have started thinking "maybe I need to by a drum machine instead of a metronome app", then getting PolyNome, and investing some upfront time to get up the learning curve, is highly recommended.
