AudioKit Hey Metronome

I decided to try this app, even though there are other metronome apps that I’m satisfied with. I am really impressed! It’s easy to use, the voice control is very useful, plus there are lots of sounds that you can choose from, like drum beats, instead of being limited to a click-click sound.

It’s ridiculous that you can’t use this app with Bluetooth. It just won’t. Only on your phone or aux out. You can’t use bluetooth nor AirPlay. You can’t even play audio from another app via Bluetooth and use this at the same time. Really, really annoying and unhelpful. Ugh.

Great metronome. It definitely clicks on time.. I don’t know what else to say

Let me start by saying all the stuff I like about this app. 1. User Interface - sleek and modern 2. Ableton Link - this is a game changer 3. Banks of preset songs 4. Ability to create set lists 5. Voice commands - super unique and essential However, I am facing some issues with it and I am not sure if these are bugs that I am facing or somethings that have been deliberately left out. 1. Screen Locking while metronome is playing - If I am playing visually by referring to the pulse or the beat labels, the screen shut down renders the app quite useless. I think it should allow the screen to stay on while the app is running. 2. While waking the app back from background or after a screen unlock, the sound stops. The metronome stops every time it is resumed (this is of course with the 'Play in Background' setting on. So pair that with the previous issue, not only the screen goes dark while playing, the playing stops when I try to get back into the app. Quite detrimental. 3. All the voice commands have equivalent touch gestures except for mute and unmute. Please help me locate it if it's there somewhere. 4. This may be a bug? When the screen locks out while playing, the sound of the beat becomes dull for a bar or two and keeps happening every few bars. Like it becomes extremely lo-fi and comes back up. As you can see, I have done some thorough testing because I appreciate the app for what it is. But I will only continue to use it if these issues are addressed in some form or the other. Thanks!

I love this because it is so simple to get it to do what you want without stopping playing.

What a fun way to take the drudgery out of metronome practice! My thanks to the people who worked to make such a stellar app.

I would like to thank you for making a great synth! And still being great!

Love it...I can set the tempo and change it with voice activation hands free!

Great app that has lots of features. Good sounds to pick from. Love the sound choices!

Is there not a way to say Hey Metronome, 1 and 2 and 3 and 4? (And then have the app reply back “ok, ive set the tempo to 128.5 bpm, would you like me to count off and begin?”) The way this works, kinda like google home/alexa, which is neat, if I already know the tempo, but if I want to tap a tempo I still have to tap with my finger. I never know the tempo, its in my head, I dont read sheet music or know anything about classical music tempo names, but I would love to not have to tap ever again. I thought thats what this app would do... maybe in a future update you guys can provide that?
