App guide

Metronome · Tempo Wheel

Keep a steady practice pulse and add structured rhythm exercises when needed.

Our take

Players needing a simple 10–300 BPM pulse

Choose Tempo Wheel for a focused metronome with a useful free tempo range and subdivisions. Consider the one-time Pro upgrade when you need background playback, Lock Screen controls or structured tempo and silent-bar exercises. The free app is less suitable if it must keep playing behind a sheet-music app.

Before you choose: Background playback and Lock Screen controls require Pro.

Who it suits

  • Players needing a simple 10–300 BPM pulse
  • Practice sessions using subdivisions or optional tempo training

When to choose something else

  • Free background and Lock Screen playback
  • Assuming a “sample-accurate” marketing description is an independent timing result

Features & tradeoffs

Features below come from the linked provider documentation. The recommendations above are our editorial interpretation.

  • Tempo wheel and Tap Tempo
  • Free one-to-four-beat meters and four subdivisions
  • Pro tempo training, silent bars and background playback

Decide whether the metronome must run behind another app

The free range and subdivisions cover many basic exercises while the metronome remains on screen. If you read sheet music in another app or lock the phone while practising, background playback is a purchase decision, not a minor cosmetic extra.

The wheel and Tap Tempo are alternative ways to choose a target. Use a numeric target for a repeatable exercise; tapping an approximate pulse can help locate a starting point.

Add complexity for a reason

Tempo Trainer can change speed after complete bars, while Quiet Count alternates audible and silent bars. These are tools for specific practice routines rather than reasons to make every exercise complicated. Begin with a comfortable pulse, then add one constraint at a time.

Editorial basis and disclosure

The developer submitted this app for consideration. We selected it for the task it serves, with no payment, paid ranking or promise of a positive recommendation. This profile uses the dated official sources; offered test access has not been used.

Limitations & considerations

  • Background playback and Lock Screen controls require Pro.
  • One-to-four beats per bar is the documented free meter range.
  • Timing and audio-route latency have not been independently benchmarked.

Documented features, attributed opinions and explicitly labeled hands-on observations are different kinds of evidence. We do not infer unmeasured performance or privacy guarantees.

Privacy & permissions

The listing states there are no ads, accounts, analytics or tracking. This is a developer-reported description, not a network audit. No microphone is needed merely to listen to a generated pulse; review any requested permissions for additional features.
