Appmuse

My guitar teacher suggested I buy this app because of its abilities to set and keep polyrhythmic time. The pleasant clave sound of the clicks is a huge improvement over the noises my prior free metronome app made. While it is a bit challenging to navigate and has many more features than I will likely ever need, the ones I use regularly have proven to be well worth the small purchase price. Musically I have improved by using this app. Show more

I paid for Tempo Advance because it seemed there was ZERO support for it’s older brother, Tempo. In THAT app, constant crashes when trying to export any set list - native tempo file or text. So, I got Tempo Advance. From the word go, this is a VERY confusing metronome. I’ve played for years and the polyrhythms it creates are impressive, but sometimes you just want 16th notes over the 8th notes to help keep you in the pocket. This took me about 15 minutes to figure out. No big deal; learning curve, so this app is awesome and its just me. *sigh* I am a drummer on a worship team, so our repertoire is 80+ regarding quantity. I talked my drumming compadres on the worship team to get tempo (at first) because we could maintain a “database” of songs, and simply send the set list out every month. That did not happen as mentioned above. There are a few features that I just have not found in Tempo Advance, and they are pretty crucial. 1) Tempo Advance does not allow you to sort the songs alphabetically - scratch that - at ALL! MAJOR show-stopper for me, as we have 80+ songs! Why would you need it in in alphabetical order? Allow me to continue, 2) You can’t add songs from any list! This seems stupidly odd! In Tempo, I could “Add songs from any set list.” Not in Tempo Advance! Mr. Mangini is one of the most influential drummers in the world, but Frozen Ape needs to focus their efforts on keeping their customers happy, not Mr. Mangini. They are sucking at doing that. So, why such a “good” rating for such a “bad” review? The metronome is amazing if you only want to practice. It helps in learning polyrhythms, as it states. It does a lot of things well, but it does not come close with things that are practical. I wished I’d never spend my money on it. Tempo Metronome did everything I needed, and I don’t have to recreate my MASTER list (even if I can’t share it; but, hey! it doesn’t matter which app you have - none do!) Show more

Easy to use, has timer, etc. love it.

why is the start/stop button so close to where the swipe up motion is initiated?

Best ever

Loooooooove this app. Super helpful- super versatile. One of the best practice aids I’ve ever come across

if there was a setting where u can choose what percentage of a change u want from your current beat and/or tempo, that would make this app complete ??mutate percentage randomizer function pls??? Show more

Don’t get me wrong, this is the best app for a metronome available…with that being said HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU NOT HAVE SPLIT SCREEN AVAILABLE. Fix it. Gigging musicians need cheat sheets and guides for new or first time performances….why split screen is not built in yet is mind blowing to me. ESPECIALLY on the iPad version….. Show more

I use this metronome app frequently for my own practice as well as during teaching individual lessons or coaching chamber music. It is reliable and the sound is strong and pleasant. The only caveat is that it opens the polyrhythms inadvertently quite frequently which means I have to stop and take the steps to cancel it. The other issue is that it will revert to 160 without touching anything. If they could build in a way to keep it from doing those two things that happen with a slight touch I guess then I would give it five stars. Show more

Yeah it’s good and has lots of potential, but the interface is not very user-friendly and the tutorial is cursory at best. I don’t know why they can’t put together a decent manual that you can download from the website. Show more

Best ROI I’ve ever had. You will see progress immediately.

Great app. . Able to do others can not. Has helped my timing.

Please keep this app going. It’s strong and has the potential to be so much more.

Just hands down the best metronome app you can buy for drummers. Possibilities are endless. Worth every penny!

Been using it just ten minutes and it is clearly not optimized or something. It keeps randomly hesitating during playback. Sorry, but ZERO TOLERANCE for something that has one important job to do. Show more

I have. Had this app since its release .. so Easy to use and perfect for Bass/Drummers like me or anyone else who wants to learn how to hang out in groove with out getting lost ...muahaha Show more

I love this app- but there definitely some bugs for me- the share function has never worked for me- it just say device isn’t configured for mail- which is untrue. I’ve rebooted and reinstalled the app and still nothing- love to practice with it but I’ll never put another detailed song into the app because it’s a waste of time. If frozen ape helps me fix this I will make my review 5 stars Show more

So, I'm not totally convinced that I'm having this issue because of my phone, as this app has done this before on a separate phone, but there seems to be a problem where the tempo doesn't always stay steady. It's noticeable during practice sessions where the tempo will seem to fluctuate slightly, in that it slows down by just a small margin and catches back up after a few beats. I used to think this might be an issue if there are multiple apps open that tax my phones processing power, but it seems to do it no matter what. I have other tempo apps that I use regularly that don't do this, but this app does. It used to be fine, so I believe there was a past update that came with a bug that needs to be addressed.

Great features, but way too hard to adjust tempo on the fly. Why do they give us tiny buttons for changing the tempo? It’s easier to accidentally change the meter. What kind of animals do they think we are? Enlarge the plus and minus buttons significantly and I will change my rating to 5 stars. Show more
