recommend a metronome app

Posted by Obi Ron Kenobi on 9/26/2024, 9:01 am

I have several but don't like any of them much.

I want SIMPLE! Large buttons, no ads and not many features but I do surely need the "tap" feature.

I really don't even need subdivisions. I surely don't want them if it makes the screen cluttered with buttons.

Pro Metronome...it's $5 for the full version. I know it's not free, but it's not $20 and a different piece of technology either like mets were 10 years ago...

and please for the love of all things band, don't use that nasty Tonal Energy met...it sounds horrible and gives me a migraine.

There are about 50 different sounds for the Tonal Energy met.

The metronome app by Frozen Ape is what you're looking for. It's called Tempo. Should be the same one BDSO mentioned.

Tonal Energy can be pretty simple if you want it to be. And you can also buy it for your laptop (I think it has multiple device downloads if I remember correctly)
I just started using the DropSpin app on my ipad. That might be what you are looking for.

I think what you want is a McAdams.

Or Tonal Energy on a REALLY BIG iPad.

Or just type Metronome into the Google.

My favorite is the app called "Tempo". We don't even use a McAdams in the band hall. We use this connected to the sound system through BT.

I second "Tempo!" Easy to use with good sized controls and the tap feature you're looking for. If you just need tempos without complicated meter changes to program (its capable of it if needed) this is the one.
