Great metronome app! I initially downloaded it only because I had been gifted the Soundbrenner Core Smartwatch. And I love the app so much. The ability to super customize the sound of each beat, the time signature…like, I had a student playing a song in 7/8, but it was composed as if it were almost […]

I would love to give you guys 5 stars – the app is great. Easy to use and elegantly simple. I LOVE my Core Steel! HOWEVER…I am compelled to give you four out of five stars because I keep losing my song library. The last time this happened I contacted support and the gentleman told […]
Just using it as a simple metronome. I like that I can turn down the volume. It has a couple glitches. If another app has been using the speakers I have to close them before Soundbrenner can be heard. Also, when slowing or increasing the tempo it doesn’t always do that. I have to do […]
Very disappointed. This app cost money when I bought it. I accepted the cost as appropriate for the features it came with. After a couple of years, some advanced features (most notably the playlist option) were taken away in an “upgrade” where you now have to “subscribe” (meaning pay monthly) to get the advanced features […]
interface is great, and I love all of the subdivisions, which are the main reason I chose this app over others. However, it the metronome itself will frequently have beats that are uneven and not inline with the tempo. So with prolonged use many instances will occur. When this happened I was using tempo ranges […]
The clicks are off on beats. I tap one to make it a higher pitch but then it does it for the one to the right of it. Like, the order is all messed up. Also, I would love it if there was an option to gradually go higher up in tempo without having to […]
Great programmable metronome. I use this quite often. The ability to make a screen flash in addition to audible click and to adjust latency (especially if using wireless headphones or other Bluetooth tech) is very helpful–even if my bandmates can’t hear it, they can see it. Haven’t used it live yet, but may on a […]
Piano player and accompanist here who has always been too cheap to buy a metronome, but, this app has been a tremendous help. i love that i can sing the song the way the director wants, tap the beat on “tap”, and immediately know what beat i ahould play, then be able to practice without […]
It gets the job done perfectly. I do wish you could have saved tempos though to make practicing easier, as opposed to typing out the tempo each time you want to change it, having the option to select one of your previously saved tempos under a folder (maybe a folder for each song you’re trying […]
Great app overall. My worship band used it today (Easter) live and it was only yesterday in rehearsal that we first tried it. It really helps tighten up your sound, and setting up the songs and set list was super easy. My only complaint is that it is a huge drain on your battery. My […]
Great in concept, but has problems. I installed on both phone and tablet. I created a few beats in the song library and it worked fine. I uploaded one into the player and it worked there, but ALL songs in the song library disappeared, including the other ones I had created! Also, I noticed a […]
The best metronome I’ve ever used! And I used metronomes from the least to the most expensive and it just doesn’t compare. I love that I can just use the app as a stand-alone but for sure I’ll be getting the Pulse ASAP, and not just for me but for my band, madatory! The only […]
This is my still favorite metronome to use, but it is much worse since the landing screen has been switched to the ‘Home’ tab and not the ‘Metronome’ one when you’re not paying for it. 50% of the time it just clocks and doesn’t let me fully open the app, I’m guessing because the ‘Home’ […]
I’m sure the folks at soundbrenner are nice and good at what they do, but if you’re looking for a reliable practice tool, this isn’t it. Frequently freezes, bugs out when changing time signature. Admissible for most things but when I sit down to practice I want a quick access and set it – forget […]
As a software engineer I appreciate the easy to navigate app, well thought out design, features, and flawless functionality, hence the 3 stars. But, this is not worth an $8 US / month subscription. I was considering the purchase of a Core, but being forced to choose between annoying pop-ups, or a subscription is a […]
I’ve been using this for several years, but it has seriously gone downhill with more and more intrusive pop-ups to dispense with before getting to the metronome. Most of the time I’m in a rehearsal or lesson and just want to quickly access a metronome while I’m speaking with my student(s). Instead I have to […]
I got a lot of great use out of this app for years, right up until ~2024 when the app suddenly became a lot more interested in selling me a subscription service every other time I used it. Which would be fine if that wasn’t the exact same time the app started having notably more […]
This app used to be a great, simple metronome app with little bloat, no excess permissions, and solid functionality. They now have decided to change all that in an effort to collect user data, ping your email, and collect an absurd subscription fee. Despite the fact that the metronome is still as good as ever, […]
This app REQUIRES “All The Time” Location permissions “so that our wearable can stay paired to your mobile device even when you are not using our app.” I find this unacceptable. “On devices running Android 8.0 (API level 26) and higher, companion device pairing performs a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi scan of nearby devices on behalf […]
taken steps backward. the lights of the apps are syncd with the wearable. so I can not have lights on the app without having lights on the wearable. some Genius (not) came up with that idea. i want lights on the app some time as I have a phone in front of me but don’t […]
