Metronome - reloaded 4+

Basic features that are simple to use. Timing of click seems off.

I’m enjoying this metronome app, but I want to enjoy it even more. Here are the changes that would allow this:

1. The click should not sound on the extremes of the hand sweep but about 3/4 of the way from the start to the end, to correspond with a real metronome. The developer’s customers are those who value similarly to a real metronome.
2. It is difficult to raise my finger from the tempo slider without an unwanted adjustment to the tempo I’ve just set. There must be a way for the app to know that my desired tempo is what was stable until just before I raised my finger.

Developer Response ,

Thanks much for your suggestions, greatly appreciated. We'll take it into consideration for an upcoming release.

One simple fix

As in other reviews, I cannot see the icon (whatever it may be) that starts the beat. I just pound the screen in random places until it starts. I would love to keep using this metronome but it doesn’t allow for quick access when the icon isn’t even visible. So now trying other apps because as much as I like this one I can’t use it. It’s a bummer too as it would be the only one I’d use if I could use it! Changing my contrast is not a viable option as I would have to set and reset every time I would want to use this. If it ever becomes visible I’ll use it but until then I’ll have to find something else.
Update: yay! Thank you developer response! It’s working great and I don’t have to find another! Most exciting thing all pandemic! Thanks again!

Hi there! Just drag the pendulum sidewards (not the weight) to start. Tap anywhere to stop it. It’s that easy.

Great metronome!

In spite of one small glitch I gave this 5 stars instead of 4 because of the great customer service. The only problem is that the very important blue “i” (Info) icon that you must touch to set the time signature and beats per measure has such low contrast that I didn’t see it. When I wrote to the company they replied within 30 minutes and solved my problem. (The info icon is located on the lower right of the metronome base. Notice that in the iTunes image you can’t even see it.) This is also one of the few metronome apps that allow you to have no beat accented as an option.
