The Metronome by Soundbrenner - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

App is clunky and drops out too many times
Very expensive for a clunky bit of tech. Takes ages to sync between devices (keeps failing with no error reason) and keep disconnecting wearable.

Bad metronome
App does not lock into the numbers I specify in 2/2 time. It jumps to another number, spend too much time trying to set the metronome and it cuts into my valuable practice time. Set it and get it should be the motto. My battery operated Matrix quartz is more reliable than this expensive app that does

Very good
A bit slow to start. Temperaments are a bit clumsy to set up/adjust. Otherwise, excellent!

Medically Dangerous for Epileptics
There is no way to turn off the flashing light effect when you Tap Tempo on the metronome, and disabling all metronome visual effects in settings does not affect this in anyway. If you tap the screen, a solid white bright flash occurs, and often even when you are not tapping it will flutter solid white bright flashes on the screen within a 3 second span of the previous flash. Bright flashes of light within quick succession is known to cause seizures in some epileptics. If you have any medical issues that concern photosensitivity, this app is genuinely medically dangerous, and it's beyond a careless oversight that tapping your tempo doesn't count as a “metronome visual effect.” I understand it's not required to tap tempo to use the app — but I don't think gatekeeping a basic functionality of metronomes from disabled people is good either. Hopefully in the future ALL visual effects have the option of being turned off, or at least the ones that can cause actual real harm to people, as I would love to use Soundbrenner help me develop my aural skills without flash banging me 80 times in two seconds and making me seize.

Lacks basic user functionality
Screen orientation is locked to portrait. Requests for orientation functionality have fallen on deaf ears. I have sent suggestions to the developers to no avail. (Minus one star for this…) Other user functionality that is not addressed is the use of bluetooth pedals. I use AirTurn bluetooth pedals and they work on EVERY OTHER metronome app. Pedals work for a moment, and then it places a cursor in the BPM number on the metronome page. No way to get this “out” of the “edit” mode without touching the screen with your finger; hence, totally negating the reason for the pedals. (Minus one star for this…) The good is: it is a plan, so multiple users can use it to practice without passing a device around. Our church uses this for all drummers and all services. It has a great count in (although, it sometimes glitches), multiple time signature options, and easy recall from songs already in your “master” list (finally). Would I recommend it? Short answer: no. Long answer: if you don't care about screen orientation or inability to use bluetooth pedals, yes. Good luck, and happy drumming! UPDATE 1/25/25: Still no landscape layout, still glitches (I automatically close the app and restart it every time I get on stage to avoid the “munchkin” count in glitch), and, lately, it doesn't save songs in the “song list” when you create them- or maybe every once in a while at best. Still my least favorite temp app that is more concerned about you buying their accessories than listening to users. If it is ever up to me, we are ditching this app at our church…

Phenomenal
I never actually write reviews but this app really deserves some appreciation. Soundbrenner has become a vital tool in practising for me and seriously love it. There could be some better features though, I wish we could set a specific amount of time that should be taken up practising in order to start a streak rather than playing everyday, e.g. 6 hours a week. Sometimes I like to rest and make up the missing hours on another day, so like miss a day and practise 2 hours the next. It'd be cool to add in a tuner too - like making it the only app a musician needs rather than downloading other apps. Seriously love it though.
