I like this app a lot, as a college music student I use it regularly, but the metronome is infuriating sometimes. I recently had to reinstall this app to my new phone and it won't let me select the "Auto" function for the met., which is really infuriating because I can't stand the tempo wheel. Other than that issue this app is good, but considering how often I use the metronome for practice I'd really like to know if that's just a bug for the Pixel 6a or something else entirely
Reviews for TonalEnergy Tuner & Metronome
I love this app. I noticed a small mistake in the program and I thought the developers would appreciate knowing this. Under the analysis function, after selecting "Note Staff", it is possible to select different clefs, but upon selecting the Tenor Clef, an Alto Clef is shown on the staff. And when you select the Alto Clef, a Tenor Clef is shown on the staff. This doesn't hinder functionality but you probably want to fix this.
I have used this app for years and have been telling people it's the best thing ever since you can create specific met tracks and share them with people. But, the metronome, the single item I use this app for, hasn't worked in MONTHS. I can't select any tempo or subdivision, and the app just crashes whenever I try and load any of my saved presets. All I want is some beep-beep, and the app can't provide that.
Although this is listed as a tuning app, it has the best in app metronome that I've ever run across because it has not only a good very basic metronome, but in addition, it has an advanced metronome, sometimes referred to as a drummer's metronome, and one of its features is that it allows you to silence beats 1 and 3 , which helps you learn how to play grooves where you have to play either behind the beat, like with blues, or ahead of the beat, which is very common in rock.
I've had this app for years, and in the last 2 weeks or so, the metronome has become completely unusable. Once it starts, the app runs at about 4 FPS, and every input takes about 5 seconds to register if it registers at all. This is the only app I've found that can run a drone and met at the same time, so I hope this gets fixed :(
This app is arguably the best tuner out there! It's for the aspiring advanced musician, professional musician, and of course even beginner musicians. It has many full sounding instruments that use real sounds! You can customize nearly every aspect of your practice down to room size echo, programmable metronome measures, and even has customizable tunings that can measure down to semi-tones. There's really no better tuner out there!
Recently it's stopped working. I've tried uninstalling it and so far only clearing storage works but that's just temporary. This has been going on for a couple weeks and it really sucks considering this is my main tuner and the best one by far and I use it everyday during practice. Whenever I open the app a loading circle pops up and the whole app is frozen
First, I'd like to say this is best metronome/tuner on the market. With that being said, it can still improve: Quite difficult to be precise in the option to stretch tempo by percentage, perhaps a wheel--like with tempo in metronome--could be easier and more intuitive. Lastly, recording ability can be improved by making it easier to scroll up or down the list of your takes. 4.5/5 ⭐
Metronome is too quiet. With a loud instrument it is inaudible at maximum volume. Phone is not the issue, have other apps that get loud. Interface is cluttered, you figure it out eventually, but not intuitive. When you leave the app and come back it doesn't return to the previous screen. The practice tracking is so-so. Timer only works when the tuner screen is active, and I often use other apps to practice so it is not effective for tracking actual practice time. Other than that, pretty good.
I bought this app specifically to show me the keys of songs I might wish to sing. Now I can sound out a note and visually see what key that note is! I can't read music and I can't play an instrument, but I can carry a tune. This app allows me to announce the key I need so that the musicians can be in tune with me. One of the best investments I have ever made. There is a lot more capability to this app, but for now this is all I am using it for.
