Time Guru Metronome for Positive User Reviews

A rhythm training metronomeAs a basic metronome this is sharply designed with a very good range of sounds. It is also a sophisticated device for training rhythm skills with some unique features such as mutable beats and measures, random muting and the ability to vary the beat length from minims to semi-quavers, including dotted crotchets and single, triplet quavers. What's not to like? :).Version: 4.3

Awesome metronome!!This app really can make you focus on your groove and get more in touch with your internal sense of time. Super easy to use. After using it to practice some basic stick exercises I feel like I got a real workout. Nice app! Random mute is where it is at!.Version: 4.3

An amazing tool!This is one of the very best apps I have ever purchased. I am a professional musician for over 20 years and I have noticed an immediate improvement in my inner sense of time after working with Time Guru for only a few short weeks. Some of the features that are extremely useful are: the slowest BPM settings, the ability to program and save shifting meter sequences, the ability to mute bars or sections within a loop to keep you honest, and the amazing randomizing feature with a gradual onset option. Simply the best metronome I have ever used, I can't recommend this app enough!.Version: 4.3

Be on your game.This is a great tool for all musicians, get it and get to work!.Version: 4.5.2

One of my most used appsI find this very useful for practicing musical pieces, and learning how to keep a steady tempo. I also use this app for paced breathing exercises to help improve my heart rate variability..Version: 4.5.2

Very usefulFlexible, simple,good sounds. Fave for practicing..Version: 4.3

Great metronomeGreat metronome with important features. Only complaint is that on iPhone while the metronome is running, the phone doesn’t recognize it as active and the screen turns off. I can’t see it throughout a practice run and have to re-unlock my phone to look at it again..Version: 4.5.3

AwesomeThis is a great app. Buy it now!.Version: 3.3

Great time machineThis app is a beast for odd time. It’s great for setting up advanced tempo maps very quickly. Easy to use and very inexpensive. I have spent hundreds for metronomes over the years that are nowhere near as good..Version: 4.5.3

Awesome appAwesome easy to use metronome app..Version: 4.1

Metronome guruVery easy to use and saving the settings are useful for playing live..Version: 4.3

IndependenceWhile there are any number of metronomes on the App Store, the killer feature of this one is the customizable randomization of NOT playing every click, letting it act as a reminder instead of a crutch. Helps greatly in internalization of the best rather than relying on an external pulse..Version: 4.3

I love itI have been looking for something like this for ages. If you are a rhythm/timing nerd like me, you will also love it..Version: 4.3

I love this metronomeI mainly use it for its random mute feature. Changing to a swipe down gesture to delete time signatures confused me though!.Version: 4.5.2

I LOVE ITI love it so much! I do ukulele and I use a metronome..Version: 4.5.3

In app Volume ControlGreat app, used it since undergrad. An in app volume slider would be appreciated..Version: 4.5.3

Perfect !This metronome app is perfect! If it had the ability to displace the beat, as in move the start of the rhythm to the 3rd sixteen note etc, it would be the end of all other metronomes..Version: 4.3

ExcellentGreat metronome that is worth every cent..Version: 4.3

Very good but missing some functionalityThis app just falls short of being the perfect metronome app for a few reasons that I hope could be addressed in the future. 1) 14 seems an arbitrary maximum number of bars/beats, and I’m having to use workarounds to practice complex forms. 2) There’s no option of a different sound to mark beat one.Version: 4.5.3

A must have for musiciansEasy to use and infinite possibilities this little app is equal to many high priced sequencers and rhythm machines!.Version: 4.3

Favourite metronome appA genius random mute function, vast possibilities of odd meter parameters and all of the necessary features of standard metronome apps - all within a super effective simple design. It's really exciting haha.Version: 4.3

Superb softwareWell done people..Version: 4.3

GrooveSo good for getting the feel of time, and also not dying a metronome death!!!.Version: 2.6

Super useful metronome with nice featuresAnd easy to use!.Version: 4.3

If you could only have one metronome...So many features and possible ways of using it with a simple interface. The new ability to save patterns is invaluable. The only metronome around you'll ever need..Version: 4.3

Great Practice ToolThe flexibility, features, and ease of use make this metronome one of the best you can buy. The random mute feature is worth the purchase price alone. Overall, it is a wonderful practice tool for the musician wanting to focus intensely on time..Version: 4.3

Excellent Tool for practicingGet your tempo and rhythm super tight BEFORE you go to rehearsal. You will soon find the other musicians playing to YOUR groove. Dennis, North Carolina.Version: 4.5.3

Excellent toolThanks to whoever designed this! I’ve never rated or reviewed an app but want to highly recommend this as a great tool. Really well designed and more flexible than most metronome apps that are hemmed in by the concept of meter..Version: 4.5.2

Nearly perfect!Everything about this metronome is killer... there's just one thing I still want: gradual tempo increase/decrease! it would be awesome for speed training. then I would never need to leave the house. ever..Version: 2.6

Good but SoftGood app, but it needs to be able to get louder. It’s hard to hear when playing trumpet..Version: 4.5.2

Practical and profoundLeaving random beats out is by far the best feature here, but everything is great. Can't recommend enough..Version: 4.3

Great app but some dropped featuresI really like this app for its programmable rhythm patterns. But I used to be able program 16 slots worth of rhythm. Now it’s only 12. Also I used to be able to have 16 beat option I’m each slot and now it’s 14. What happened?.Version: 4.5.3

The Best Groove TrainerI'm addicted to this app. Never practice without it anymore and my sense of groove and timing has improved immensely. Very intuitive and quick to get a session going.Version: 4.3

Great appReliable app that I've been using 5 days a week in guitar lessons since 2012..Version: 4.3

GoodWas recommended this after watching a Victor Wooten exercise that revolved around randomly muting the metronome. Great app! Would be nice if it had a higher res interface for Ipad..Version: 2.6

Great design. Minimal yet feature richWorks very well for practising rhythm. I like the random mute feature & flexibility of setting rhythms. Also works when app is minimised.Version: 4.5.3

As good as it gets.This metronome application is unbeatable! The interface is extremely simple to use, but it provides a wide array of different tools. This app can be used for anything from a simple metronome, too a more complex time keeping tool to help develop deeper rhythmic concepts. I recommend this app to any musician who is interested in developing their sense of time further..Version: 4.3

One of a KindThis metronome has a few features that no other metronome provides, namely the random muting and being able to create any rhythm. A few features that I would like to see in future updates are: 1. The ability to rearrange the rhythms created in the meter select area. Currently, if there are multiple meters selected and I want to change the order, I have to delete them and start again. I would like to be able to drag one meter and place it somewhere else in the line up. 2. A menu for different rhythmic units. Instead of having to cycle through in decreasing order of duration, I would prefer to open a menu with all available note values to save time when trying to select the right value. 3. 32nd notes! Currently, the shortest note value is the 16th septuplet. It would be nice to just add one more value and get the 32nd note. 4. More control over the sounds of strong and weak beats. Currently, there are a lot of options for different timbres, but there is no way to change the sound of beats 1 and 2, for example. Hopefully the developers will be able to continue the innovation that this metronome has already demonstrated..Version: 4.5.2

Finally!A serious metronome, including really intuitive compound meters, written by a serious musician for other serious musicians. Thanks so much!.Version: 4.5.2

This has a feature that makes this app stand aloneBeing able to control the random number of beats left out is the best thing to ever be added to a metronome....ever. I just wish the app would rotate when my device is on it's side. Small annoyance for the best metronome in the world..Version: 4.3

Simple with a few unique featuresBeing able to easily input rests and any combination of best groupings make this a must have app. Also, the random mute feature is great when you really want to test yourself and see how well you are internalizing the beat!.Version: 4.5.2

An excellent tool for practising odd time signatures!Great work..Version: 4.3

Great appOne of the very best metronome app. My timing has improved a lot. Thanks.Version: 4.5.3

The best for TimeIf you want to work on your time, this is the app for you. I use it every time I practice..Version: 4.5.2

Great appI'm using this with all my students. A really great improvement on the traditional metronome. Nicely done..Version: 2.1

Great appWorks well. I wish there was a way to mute a whole measure at a time..Version: 4.5.3

Seriously excellentThis is really a great practice tool..Version: 2.6

Favorite metronomeThis has been a favorite of mine for a while..Version: 4.3

Professional, Award-Winning Musician’s Seal of ApprovalFor what it’s worth, I have been using this metronome for the last few years at home, in music college, on the road, and while privately educating classes/individuals around the world. It has helped me improve my sense of time and time feel—which is a totally different thing to focus on for those of you still getting into different ways of practicing with the metronome..Version: 4.5.3

Time GuruI’ve use another metronome apps. They all seemed to have flaws and get buried in my other apps to be long forgotten. Time guru is basic or as complex as you can make it. Does the job for me! Thanks.Version: 4.5.3

Wonderful Metronome and Extremely CustomizableTo say first - if you haven’t heard Avi Bortnik (the developer) play, check him out. It’s plain to see that he has spent plenty of time thinking about rhythmic ideas, how to listen, and how to fit everything into the pocket with other musicians. All of those ideas translate wonderfully into this metronome. It can be used in a traditional manner (click on every beat), or can be customized for different time signatures, to add extra beats within a time signature, and to drop the click on random beats. The latter is an extremely helpful tool to strengthen one’s inner sense of groove. To round everything out, there are many click sounds available to suit your taste and pair well with whatever instrument that you may be playing. All in all, this is an extremely well thought out and original imagining of what a metronome can be. If you’re looking at metronome options, this is an amazing place to invest $2! Thank you, Avi! This tool has certainly been a great help in my rhythmic studies..Version: 4.5.3

Step up the timeMy go to metronome to practice time. Total perfection would be to add ability to increase the tempo by steps eg 10 bpm ever 10 bars.Version: 4.3

Best metronome out thereI love this metronome. It was a wonderful resource when I was studying music in college. It has great sound options which is nice when you spend multiple hours per day practicing with a metronome. The ability to customize subdivisions and have random muting are very helpful for developing your time feel. If you play around you can get it play a clave or other rhythmic patterns (such as odd-meter “claves”) aside from a just a steady beat..Version: 4.5.3

Started out greatThis is a wonderful idea but it has a bug. I can no longer get rid of a set of four notes once I create it. I’ve tried resetting the app as well as redownloading. Please fix this because it will make this the best metronome out there..Version: 4.5.3

Great metronome!Can't recommend this app enough, best metronome out there..Version: 3.0

Very good but could be betterAs others have said this app is really great but there are a few simple things that could take it to the next level. In my view these things are: 1. Option to mute specific subdivisions/beats the way a whole bar can be muted. 2. Option to assign different sounds to each subdivision/beat 3. Option to make certain subdivision/beat unaffected by the random mute feature. 4. Higher quality sounds and more sound options would be nice..Version: 4.5.3

My "Go To" MetronomeSince getting this app I find myself using it all the time--for songwriting, practising, recording prep. So simple (I use the tap feature all the time) yet so useful..Version: 4.3

Most practical metronome appEasily one of the most practical, useful metronome apps available!.Version: 4.5.3

AwesomeThe only metronome any musician should need to own.Version: 2.4

Outstanding.I literally never write reviews for apps. I’m a percussionist and have used dozens of metronome apps over the years. Once you learn how to setup groupings and patterns, guru is incredibly simple and incredibly powerful. Recommend to all my students and colleagues..Version: 4.3

Great app!Very handy practice tool!.Version: 4.3

Bang for your 2 bucksNot the most intuitive interface but once you figure it out you'll have everything you'll ever need. Excellent for tougher sub divisions like 5s and 7s. Never buy another physical metronome!.Version: 4.3

Great Metronome App!!I have had this for a few years now and it’s my favorite metronome app and I use it often. Excellent!.Version: 4.5.3

Great app but could be more user friendlyThis app solves issues no other one does that I’m aware of so it is indispensable in that regard and for that I will give it 5 stars but I hope the developers will provide more of a help section or supply the app with some optional basic preset profiles to start someone off. If you already are someone that tinkers with things without manuals, you’ll find your way around quickly. Mainly writing this for those a bit less tech savvy out there. Intuitiveness of app can be improved but app is definitely great and after you figure it out, extremely nice..Version: 4.5.3

Fantastic App!Love it. Use it daily for teaching and my own practicing. Bravo, Avi!.Version: 4.3

Every musicians should have this!Nice sounds, an easy to use! Took me a moment to understand how to use the meter interface, but once I got it I've realised how flexible it makes this metronome! And that radome mute thing is just genius, thanks for the work ! Great app.Version: 3.3

Great but could be betterI have been using this app for a while now and I like it I really do, at the same time it is the best of its kind but there are things that could be better I reckon. 1) it could give you more option of time signatures past 7 beats. 2) it could give you more than 7 bars. 3) use if dynamics and accents would be cool. I love this app, please add these things in it :).Version: 2.1

Great metronome.Never had a problem with this app. It has been great to use. It even goes down to 5 bpm. It works well. I would like to have a softer blip sound. But cannot fault it otherwise..Version: 4.5.3

Great appAmazing app . Taught me rock solid timing once I took a little time to figure out how it worked.I Highly recommend.Version: 2.1

Great metronomeLove the random mute feature, also good interface..Version: 4.5.2
