  Amazing

  This app helps so much with figuring out tricky patterns & all my practice needs. The reason it gets a 4 star is because sadly, you cannot input nestled tuplets(such as 5:6 inside a ninelet).

  Notifications Ruin Otherwise Great App

  Paying $10 for something typically means that they will leave you alone to enjoy using the app that you paid for. If the notifications, prompts, ads, and questions etc. continue I’ll probably be switching to an alternative that allows me to practice in peace. This would have been a five start review otherwise.

  $10 app and then almost $40 a year

  What a rip, I understand charging for all the extra stuff but come on I can’t even create my own tempo playlist without a subscription, just straight up sleazy behavior 😒

  The only metronome you’ll ever need

  I’m a music teacher and performer. I’ve downloaded most if not all the iOS metronomes to review for my students. This is the one I use for teaching, studying, and performing. It’s feature rich yet easy enough for a beginner. It handles all the subdivisions I need for teaching from a simple click to advanced nested tuplets. The track mark up is a very helpful feature for transcribing and learning songs. The playlist feature has so many uses. I make setlists for all my bands. I control them externally via MIDI. It’s also useful for studying and practicing longer music passages. I uploaded samples of my favorite metronome. I love it. My Dr, Beat and transcribing apps don’t. It’s so good that I paid for the premium service. The developer is amazing and always replies to any questions.

  Great tool for drummers

  It's a great metronome and so much more! I use it to create drum charts quickly with the Track Markup feature. You can capture the number of bars and label each section of a song while listening to it from within the app. Saves a lot time when learning new songs. Also, great integrations with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, ForScore and more.

• ★★★★★Romulor

  Not only a fantastic metronome, is my practice mate!!

  It is a wonderful instrument for analyzing odd metric and rithms.

• ★★★★★Maddrummerhef

  Paid app asking for subscription

  Not a fan of apps I paid for asking me to give them more money as a subscription.

  I see the vision but…

  I can appreciate the advanced controls but the UI feels a bit convoluted in my opinion. Additionally wasn’t a fan of the fact that the playlist and tempo changing feature was only accessible in the $32 premium package, *after* i already paid $10 for the basic app. That’s what I thought made this app special but constantly being asked to get premium doesn’t feel worth it I’m going to stick with ProMetronome and program my own tempo changing exercises in Ableton.

  Unbelievable! No brainer purchase

  One of the things that met Apple successful as a company was that they figured out what the public wanted before the public even knew. PolyNome is an app that does just that. It does everything you could ever hope for and then six months or a year later as you have improved you’ll think of a feature that you need and you’ll discover that it’s already there. And that happens again and again and again and again and again. Brilliant work by an exceptional coder and exceptional professional drummer.
