Tempo - Metronome with Setlist

No glitches; tempo combined with meter; tempo names along with bpm, solid product and reliable.

This is the best way to get tempo on your phone

Used to be the best, now under featured and under supported. No support for Split View is a glaring omission and once a year updates don’t cut it anymore. PolyNome is now my choice.

This app hasn’t had an update in over a year, so if you try to email out your list(s) to share or for backup the app crashes! When you have multiple set lists consisting of hundreds of entries each, you’re screwed if you can’t have a back up!

I can’t share files from my ipad

I’ve had this app for several months and really like it! It took a while to figure out the more creative things you can do with it, I wish there was a better tutorial. (Maybe there is, but I couldn’t find it). I use it a lot with the “tracking” feature. I’m a drummer, so if I’m working on rudiments I’ll set it up to track 20 measures. So I can play the rudiment for 20 measures, then the tracker starts over and I switch to the next rudiment. You can use the tracker for a specific period of time (like 2 minutes, etc). The playlist feature is cool, and you can make it automatically go to the next “song.” So you can create the song/time signature/tempo. Once you figure out the creative pieces of it, this is an awesome app! And I love that I bought the app for a few dollars. No ads and no ongoing monthly subscription costs!!

Get in touch with me. I’ve got some ideas. Let’s do lunch. I’d suggest adding features to the “Automator” ie; allow us to program the tempo to not only increase OR decrease after a certain number of beats but to also be able to program it to increase AND decrease in the same sitting.. it would add another level of depth to a workout. For instance, after the tempo reaches 250bpm, have it go back down in tempo in the same or adjusted number of increments without having to readjust the settings.

Very easy to use! You can change timing and pattern very quickly. Best feature is that the first beat of the measure has a slightly different tone, so you can figure out if you’re slipping or not. Or speeding up, which is what I often do. Also, the visual is good. Little dots, lighting up sequentially. It has really helped me to move toward a steadier tempo.

This is the perfect app for working musicians, teachers and students. Easy to jump on board yet deep enough that I keep discovering features years after I first started using it. My current favorite feature is the Automator: start at a certain tempo and increase (or decrease) the tempo by a fixed amount every X minutes. A must for drum rudiments practice. My second favorite feature is the integration with iOS/iPadOS: (1) you can set it to disable the screen lock while in operation (2) you can start/stop operation by covering the ambient light detector (3) it works seamlessly with the system sound. This means you could be watching a video on your favorite streaming app or listen to a podcast while you practice.
