Ratings and Reviews
Incredible, just get it!
Calling it the swiss army knife of metronome & practice apps doesn't do it justice. From start to finish this is a brilliantly thought out, innovative and supported app. Joe, the app's developer, clearly uses it for his own gigs, teaching, and practice, so is invested in it being as good as he can make it, with constant tweaks and well thought out features. That was made clear to me just this weekend when he responded to my emailed question within hours, with a personal video explanation! Amazing. I am still discovering new ways to make use of it in my drumming practice, and still finding features I didn't know were there. For example the ability to create beats and loop them over top of other custom metronome patterns has been fantastic for working with Gary Chester's New Breed. Then there is the fact that all tempos are recorded & attached to a date/time associated with a given playlist, making it great for keeping track of progress on snare pieces for example. I could go on and on, but suffice to say this is well worth the money, and well worth the time it takes to dig into it.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for such a great review. It means a little to know how useful you find it. I’m always happy to help with questions :)

Très précis et les possibilités sont infinies. Il faut prendre le temps de bien lire et regarder les vidéos informatives.
