8 Best Metronome Apps To Master Your Tempo

Soundbrenner is another very useful and powerful metronome app that is available on both the Google Play and Apple stores. A thing that makes this app stand out in particular is its design and coordination to their vibrating Metronome watch called the Pulse. 

This app is claimed to be the number one most used metronome app, with around 600k musicians using it monthly. It’s got a sleek and easy to use interface packed with all of the features you need to master your rhythm. The company has spent more than half a decade refining the clock so it works perfectly on iOS and Android devices.  

You are able to save the rhythm of your songs, organize them in set lists, and load them to play in the metronome at any time. Advanced features include USB and Bluetooth MIDI, Ableton link, bluetooth foot pedal support, plus many others. 

Metronome+ is one of the most popular metronome apps that creatives of all types use to better their craft. This app is free but it does come with some in-app purchases such as allowing you to read sheet music while the metronome is running in the background, plus many other features. 

It is only available in the App Store for iOS/Mac devices, but if you are an Apple user you will love their many different and useful features. Metronome+ comes with a pitch player, setlist (perfect to save your preferred settings), loop mode (automatically adjusts the tempo over time), record mode (record and instantly share what you learned), and chromatic tuner (customize various things such as the accents), among many other options.

All of these impressive features make Metronome+ one of the most downloaded apps for creating music. In addition to that, it also has seven custom accent colors and a fabulous design.

Metronome Beats is an easy to use, quality-made app that has a ton of amazing features for musicians to benefit from.  It's one of the three apps created by Stonekick Limited and works best in combination with Pitched Tuner and Instrumentive. The metronome app is great during playing a live show or as a trainer app to enhance your music skills. 

Although the app is free, you can pay for a pro version that is a separate app with additional features. Exclusive to the pro version are the options to create music with different tempo settings, save settings as your own presets, organize songs into a setlist and play through them in a ‘live’ mode. Among some of the many handy features are speed trainer and visual beat indication. The app is also available on both Android and iOS devices.

Metronomerous is among the most practical metronome apps on the market. It is free to download and free of annoying advertisements/pop-ups. It is also available in three different languages: English, German, and Russian.

Unfortunately for those dedicated to Apple products solely, it is only available for download on the Google Play Store. If you are an Android user and a dedicated music maker, Metronomerous is perfect for you. Creators who want to improve their rhythmic skills and overall music projects can greatly benefit from this application, all you need is basic knowledge of the musical notation and you are good to go. 

Among some of the features that make Metronomerous stand out are different subdivisions (triplets, quintuplets, septuplets, 8ths, and 16ths), vibrating and visual tempo feedback, and arrangements (an order of program complex beats). Additionally, you can also view metronomes in different layouts (landscape and portrait), set different tempos (by numeric input, tap, and slide), and gradually raise the tempo during playback (this feature is called TempoIncrement).

Simple Metronome is exclusive only on the Google Play Store and functions just as its name insists — a simple metronome. It is easy to use, free to download, and unlike most other free metronome apps, it has no ads. This means no interruptions or distractions when you are trying to play, practice, or make your music. 

What makes this application stand out the most is its stable tempo, first beat accent, visual kick for silent operation, and the ability to work in the background simultaneously with other apps. It offers many free essential features that most other apps would require upgrades or additional purchases for. Unfortunately, the app is not iOS compatible, but if you are an Android user this is a great metronome app for you to try at no cost out of your pocket.

The Metronome app created by ONYX is used by more than 1 million users and is available only on the App Store for iPhones and iPads. ONYX Metronome is free to access the most basic features but also has its own in-app purchases for more upgraded and advanced capabilities.

The app is simple and useful, offering many valuable features such as visual indication and iPhone visual feedback. Other things that you can find in the app are tap tempo functionality, practice timer (which can be used to track the practice sessions), background mode (allowing the app to simultaneously operate with other audio applications), and eight fantastic metronome sounds, one of which is human. 

Additional features that you can expect if you get ONYX's Metronome Pro are an adjusted presets list, custom time signatures, interactive beat editor, as well as accents and subdivisions. Also, if you wish to take full advantage of ONYX Apps and create your own music projects, the Metronome app works best in combination with any of their other apps, especially Oscilloscope and LED Audio Spectrum Visualizer.

When it comes to metronome apps that are simple yet effective, Pulse is certainly one of the best that you can take advantage of. Pulse Metronome is available on the App Store for all Apple devices, although it was designed especially for iPad usage. As described by the developers at MuseScore, Pulse Metronome is a simple, sleek, and minimalist app. 

It comes in only one version that is free to download and equipped with haptics and Bluetooth which allows it to instantly sync with Apple Watches and iPhones. Some of the many tools that make this app so special are its background mode (enabled by default), custom click sounds and colors, haptic vibrations, tap for BPM, time signatures, tempo syncing, and playlists. Pulse Metronome is available in two languages (English and Spanish) and is also compatible with MuseScore's Sheet Music app.
