Metronome Plus

What Metronome Plus is

Metronome Plus is an iOS app for musicians who need rhythm tools for practice, recording sessions, and live performance. It uses real-time audio technology and offers training, practice, recording, and other modes. Users can adjust tempo, time signature, subdivision, polyrhythm, and accents to shape rhythms for different needs. Subdivision and polyrhythm controls are available; tap tempo is not. A playlist manager lets users save rhythms or upload new ones, so they can keep a set of material ready to use. The app also offers 16 sound options, multiple themes and backgrounds, and AirPlay support.

Metronome Plus has a free plan and a paid Full version. The Free plan costs nothing and includes ads, with no background play. The Full version costs $2.99, paid once, removes ads, and enables background play. Nighp Software makes the app; the company describes itself as an independent app studio that has made mobile apps since 2012. For product support, Nighp lists [email protected]. Its privacy policy says Firebase Analytics records screen-open and Firebase default events. Third-party advertising platforms may collect device identifiers, MAC addresses, IMEI, coarse location, and IP addresses. App-use logs are stored locally and may be attached to Email Support messages; users can edit or remove that attachment.

Who it suits

Metronome Plus suits musicians who want adjustable rhythms for practice, recording, or live performance on iOS. It may also suit players who want saved rhythm sets, multiple sounds, and AirPlay support.

Limits

Verdict

Choose Metronome Plus if you want a configurable metronome with practice, recording, and performance modes, plus saved rhythms and sound choices.
