Smart Metronome & Tuner Reviews

by Lukas Batema

I would love to see the background feature work for the metronome programming (the one where it changes tempo based on time signature and measure number) AND the timer metronome feature (the one that is more easily noticeable on how to find and use). This would be very useful because I am a small musician, that records band music and writes original songs and remixes, but SmartMetronomeTuner doesn’t have a very good recording function. It would be nice if I could be in another app that I use for recording, with my USB to lightning cord adapter and a USB Blue Snowball to be plugged in, while the metronome plays, without giving any feedback. Thanks! On a side note, when I first downloaded SmartMetronomeTuner , I couldn’t find the programming feature, which is what I was needing, as well as looking for, so I deleted SmartMetronomeTuner . I did decide to reinstall SmartMetronomeTuner , and then found the feature. It would be nice if you make it easier to find. Lastly, although SmartMetronomeTuner looks like a scam, bad, and knockoff application, it actually functions pretty great! It is my number one choice for a metronome app! Thanks again!

I’ve only just downloaded SmartMetronomeTuner, but I love it already. It has solved the one problem that I have needed addressed with other metronome apps: no flexibility for songs with changing tempos. SmartMetronomeTuner’s programming feature is easy to use, and reliable. However it comes with only one caveat: no subdivisions while running a program. Whenever you use the program feature, it does not allow you to enable the subdivisions that are normally available. If that is fixed this is literally the perfect free app out there for musicians (especially for drummers like myself).

Straightforward usage, with some nice details, and user-friendly layout. When i’m practising don’t want something fiddly to detract from the process. Enjoy having metronome and tuner in one app, with no extra frills. Favourite bit is the metronome sound, which doesn’t drive me up the wall (unlike most digital and mobile metronomes i’ve tried); and there are a couple of good sound choices, which is stupendous.
Only critique is that i’d love a tuner that could transpose, but i’d rather stick with this one good app than have two to do the job, like i used to. I use it for 2-3 different instruments as well, so want to simplify where i can.

I wanted a basic metronome app to help me regulate my breathing during meditation. There a loads of apps out there with all the bells and whistles that musicians need, but SmartMetronomeTuner is the only one that approximates what I wanted: something to simply keep time for me. I’m grateful to have found this, and I’m especially delighted by the fact that it offers a visual of a swinging metronome arm.

It does more than I need it to do, but those features don’t get in the way. It’s perfect for my needs.

I keep SmartMetronomeTuner on my phone in case of an emergency when I need to use CPR. I set the metronome to 110 bpm, and it stays like that even when I close SmartMetronomeTuner .

As a former musician, I love the customizability. Not only can you set the bpm, but you can also change the time signature, metronome tone, and color. It will also automatically record the amount of time you've practiced... and the tuning tone on the settings screen?

Amazing.

I just loveeee SmartMetronomeTuner it is amazing for practice and you can even take videos with it on which i absolutely loveee. I just have one suggestion, it’s kinda stupid but i was wondering if you can make a volume button for SmartMetronomeTuner ? so that when we make videos it’s not too loud where you can’t hear yourself over the metronome. Just a suggestion but overall it’s amazing 🥰

by Fire Ella

SmartMetronomeTuner is way better than expected. It’s waaayyyy more than a simple metronome. It’s a tuner and has all sorts of settings that. You can tweak and save and whatever suits your needs. I have downloaded so many and they do not work when Voice Over is on, SmartMetronomeTuner does and all the functions work which is a happy shock to me, thank you,!! My boyfriend is a musician and is trying to teach me stuff. This ap hopefully will help me learn it better and possibly saved my relationship… lol ;-) all we do is argue about how he is trying to teach me stuff and about how I need it different bla bla… so this is a GODSEND! as …and. Can do it myself when he is not around and surprise him hopefully with what I have learned. ;-)

As of this morning the rod beats not only when reaching the top but also the sides. Instead of the 12 beats per minute as it has done for years, it now beats 36 times per minute. What happened? I’m now experimenting with different numbers to approximate 5 second beats. And yes, I did a reboot. Didn’t help. Next an app delete and reinstall.

Okay, a reinstall did the trick. Back to 5 stars.

Whilst looking for a good tuner/metronome app i realised prettyyy much every single one my friends/teachers recommended to me were all full of ads and/or included in app purchases and of course I was like um it’s a metronome I don’t wanna pay for that so I scrolled a bit and came upon this beauty. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing with many different colour options, but overall it’s a lifesaver and I will be recommending to all of my friends. 10/10

It’s very good, the metronome even goes up to 999 if you type it in. It has all kinds of features too like having a beep for half notes, or clicking on eighth notes instead of quarter notes. Not only that, I’ve also enjoyed the color themes, to get those, you only need to watch one ad and you’ll get changing themes! You don’t even need to watch a new ad when the theme automatically changes.

by Zinnia Dungjen

For the longest time I would just use the online metronome until my band director told me I needed an app. This is not only super easy to understand and use, it is extremely organized and fun. It’s easy to switch between the amazing tuner and the simple metronome. And you can choose your own background color which I really appreciate. I use SmartMetronomeTuner every day. I would highly recommend it.

by FantasticDonDon

It’s free and it works incredible well. Polished, clean, easy to navigate, and loads more functionality than I expected when I downloaded it. I love ads, they mean I can support the creator without spending money myself haha. Well done, this will be my exclusive metronome app forever!
Might buy the plus version just to support your hard work. お疲れ！

I use the metronome for pacing my daily muscle and joint fitness exercises. It’s simple, easy and effective. I can set the exact BPM desired, and choose between various sound types (beep, click, etc.). I just let it run and mentally count the beeps as they occur. I don’t have to look at the display or anything else; I frequently close my eyes entirely to focus on how my muscles and joints are feeling. SmartMetronomeTuner also remembers the settings even when SmartMetronomeTuner is turned off. It’s only a metronome, however, not a tuner; max 240 bpm.

by AlicjaColon

I love the tuner and the metronome is perfect. It had all the speeds and tempos I need and has an excellent tuner which has helped me SO much. Thank you to whoever made SmartMetronomeTuner. The one thing though doesn’t impact the experience at all. It is still a n amazing metronome but I wish there were more colors. When I tapped the red option (it being my favorite color), I was disappointed to find that it didn’t have very red vibes. Looking forward to an update!! I’m also looking forward to the CHRISTMAS themes. 😇

I am a ten year old trumpet player. This metronome is not loud enough! I can’t hear the beat when I am practicing for my recital! Please fix this because it is driving me crazy. Help! I end up having to play really quietly so I can hear this thing!I love SmartMetronomeTuner because it allows you to change the tempo, and tells you what musical term that is. I also like how it beeps at the end of each measure. But even if I turn the sound all the way up, I can barely hear it! I have an iPad mini so this should not be a problem. Also, the note tuner is one key off. Please fix. Thank you.

This is, hands down, the best metronome app I’ve had! (And the only one I’ve had.) But still, I love how you can customize the clicking sound the metronome makes and the color as well! I play flute, so it is easy for me to hear, but I would like to make a suggestion: you could customize the sound loudness. I know you could do this on your phone, but for people who sing loudly and/or play a deep, low instrument, you could make it so they can hear the metronome over the music. Anyway SmartMetronomeTuner is stupendous and I highly recommend you download it.

by Mok$ha

I downloaded them ALLLL and this one is by far the best. It has the most user accessibility and options all being wrapped up in a nice, free, NO SUBSCRIPTION bow 😊 The timings choices are ample, the sounds are loud and clear, you can have a more prominent sound on the downbeat (volume control would be a plus in the future), there are extra drum loops for bossa nova, Latin, and a few others + the added ability to make your own! (The drum sequencer keeps crashing for me though, not really an issue though as it’s just a nifty extra feature I’m not using since Im using this for drumming)

by Mikhail Nievski

If you’re looking for a simple and smart metronome for practice this is nearly perfect. It has several features that are hard to find all together in other apps. The design is well thought out so all features are all quickly accessible from the main screen.

The features that I really like:
1. Realistic Pendulum ... with an elastic swing!
2. ... at the same time - Beat markers!
3. Automated practice trainer (by time, reps or % speed)
4. Automated practice log
5. Song list where you can save different settings
6. The drum sound (cymbals)

There are also basic color themes and a basic tuner. You can sub-divide the beat but it doesn’t do polyrhythms.

I’ve bought and used the 10 most popular metronome apps, but this has become my go-to because of the clean easy interface that mimics a real metronome, but also adds the features that an app can give you. All without overloading itself with too many features.

Features I’d like to see:
- landscape mode (only works in portrait mode)
- be able to stress different beats (other than 1)
- beat block (like in pro metronome)

by Chewie1270

Hands down the best metronome app that I could find. Unlike other metronome apps, SmartMetronomeTuner offers time signatures and subdivisions that don’t require “a pro membership” to use. Now I can actually play songs that aren’t 4/4! So 11/10 for functionality. And as for the aesthetic... oh the aesthetic. They really went above and beyond. Pretty themes? Umm, yes please. So a beautiful app that is easy to use, free, and pretty. As you can probably tell, I like it and would highly recommend.

by HecklerBrau

The ads are a little annoying and working with the timer function is a bit cumbersome. Works well for a freemium app

by Surferdolphinbro

This is just your simple metronome with no pesky adds or weird settings. It can do a variety of time signatures and it overall just gets the metronome job DONE.

by Professor OM

I wish it could play in screen lock mode.
I use it to help maintain tempo for my golf swing.

by Monirul1981

I just love SmartMetronomeTuner. Amazingly simple to use. Spreadsheet like view made SmartMetronomeTuner so easy to use. Good work!!!

by Ivhfuducjvyckgxjghfc

SmartMetronomeTuner is beautiful and has everything you need for a metronome! I use this very often and I love it. A definite download if you are a musician.

by Dpdevendra

This metronome is so easy to use the adjustments are very straightforward no extra pieces and parts that are hard to use just works

by 7$$$qweens

Super easy and convenient makes playing the songs better would recommend

by Iommi Boy

After downloading three or four other ones, I finally found this one, which in my opinion, is all you need to keep time. Ridiculously simple! Thank you to the developer!

by Sicembears44

Most basic easy to use metronome I’ve found so far. Ads, but not obnoxious. User interface is clean, simple and intuitive. Works full screen on iPhone X. Allows me to get it set up quick and practice without frustration :D

by Turner42

When the tuner was added, it broke the use with VoiceOver for that feature.
I sent a note to the developer, a few days ago, maybe a week, but not long.
This new update fixed it.
So, back to 5 stars.

Doesn’t have any nonsense
