Metronome Plus
Metronome Plus is an iOS app for musicians’ daily practice, recording sessions, and live performance. It uses real-time audio technology and includes training, practice, recording, and other modes. Users can set tempo, time signature, subdivision, polyrhythm, and accents, then save rhythms in the playlist manager or upload new ones. The app provides 16 sound options, multiple themes and backgrounds, and AirPlay support. Subdivision control and polyrhythm support are available, but tap tempo is not. The Free plan costs nothing and includes ads with no background play. The Full version costs $2.99, paid once, removes ads, and enables background play. Nighp Software describes itself as an independent app studio making mobile apps since 2012 and lists [email protected] for support.
