Description

This metronome app is created by a musician for musicians. Almost all metronome apps boast about their accuracy, but users with sensitive hearing notice inaccurate beats all the time. It used to be impossible to create a perfectly accurate metronome on a mobile device. Despite the failure of other apps, perfect time is possible for TrueMetronome: its unique engine creates perfect beats with ABSOLUTE ZERO error. For this reason, TrueMetronome is most accurate metronome app on any mobile platform.

Sound quality is the second issue for software metronomes. Serious musicians prefer a natural sound filled with overtones, but all metronome apps play short synthetic samples (so that the first sound stops completely before the next begins). Thus, you hear an artificial, dead sound. Moreover, the identical samples playing at the same frequency can drive any man crazy! TrueMetronome solves this problem thoroughly: all sounds are recorded from real metronomes, a beat does not affect the gradual decay of its predecessors, and each beat's sound is a little different from the others. All this contributes to the natural sound which is easier on your ears.

Finally, an aesthetic, thoughtful interface is an important aspect of any application, and TrueMetronome pays particular attention to it. Creating an electronic metronome interface is simple, but TrueMetronome does not cut corners: it recreates the look and feel of a real mechanical metronome; every mark on the scale is labeled with a tempo mark, the deviation angle of the pendulum depends on the tempo, and the tempo is selected by dragging the weight.

You can adjust the tempo in 2 BPM (beats per minute) increments by dragging the digital weight. This restriction prevents a change of tempo from accidental touches, and when you need greater precision in the selection of the tempo, there are "+" and "-" buttons as well. On the lower part of the metronome, you can turn the bell on and off and select the number of beats per measure.

To start or to stop the beats, simply tap anywhere.

Suggestion

Works good. It would be nice if it could have a slower timer though.
I still use it, it’s effective. But sometimes I still need a slower pace and it’s not an option.

Great for travel

When at home i always use my traditional wind up metronome, partially because I’m old fashioned, but mainly because the romantic in me feels that there is just something harmonious about practicing with an old 20th century metronome. That said, when touring I typically leave the old clunker at home and then turn to this metronome app for my daily practice runs. It’s a great app metronome and I really like the traditional sounds and feel that it has. Great little guy for sure. Highly recommend.

Don’t want to pay the subscription fee in 3 days

I don’t want the free trial! Can’t find anywhere to stop it. I’ve been to my iPhone settings and it doesn’t show that I’ve paid anything yet….obviously because the 3 day trial isn’t over. So do I have to wait until they charge me $7.99 a week (which is absolutely ridiculous and a total scam/rip-off)!
Then after I’m charged the first time I can try to find out how to cancel the subscription! If you get $7.99
out of a bunch of people after you charged them once you’re making a lot of money…..scam

Developer Response ,

Hello. I don't know what are you talking about, this app does not charge you anything and it doesn't have any subscriptions. It can only notify you that faster tempos or tap tempo feature are available in full version (which is only $2.99 and not $7.99)
