About this app

Metronome Beats — a free, accurate metronome, drum machine, and speed trainer designed by musicians. With over 25 million downloads, it's used worldwide for solo and group practice, teaching, live performance, dance classes, running cadence, and golf putting drills.

Built for one-handed control: tap to nudge the tempo by 1 or 5 BPM, sweep the slider, or tap out a tempo with your finger. Visual beat indicators let you follow the bar at a glance — mute the sound and stay in time visually while you read music or talk to your students. Settings are saved automatically, so you pick up exactly where you left off.

Practise smarter:
- Speed Trainer — gradually increase or decrease tempo by bars or seconds to push your speed without losing time.
- Drum Machine — play along to real grooves with multiple drum kits, programmable patterns, and full mixer control.
- Polyrhythms, swing, and complex subdivisions — up to 16 clicks per beat, custom accent patterns, and unusual time signatures.
- Tap tempo — don't know the BPM? Tap it in.

Built-in features:
- Tempo from 1 to 900 BPM
- Italian tempo markings (Largo, Allegro, Vivace…)
- Custom presets — save and recall your go-to settings instantly
- Per beat mute and accent control
- Adjustable pitch and custom sounds so you can hear the click over your instrument
- Timer to stop the metronome after a set number of bars or seconds
- Bar and beat counter
- Plays in the background alongside sheet-music and tab apps
- Lock-screen and Bluetooth media controls
- Optimised tablet layout — every control on one screen
- Light and dark themes
- Export and import settings as .mbeats files to share between devices

Metronome Beats Pro unlocks tools for serious practice and live performance:
- Setlists — chain presets together for rehearsals and gigs
- Songs — build a song from sections (intro, verse, chorus…) each with its own tempo, time signature, and bar count
- Live mode — large, gig-friendly controls and quick switching between songs on stage
- No adverts

Whether you're learning your first scale, drilling tricky passages, or running a band rehearsal, Metronome Beats keeps you in time.
More downloads than any other metronome. Includes drum machine & tempo trainer.

Not bad. Using it for rehearsals of new set list in a band. Quick and easy to input BPM of a song. The metronome sound can be loud so everyone can hear it or be switched off. The actual beats can be displayed in a panel (eg bass drum+ snare) but the two rectangular blocks could be improved colour-wise but they're large enough for the bass player to look across and check his own timing too! You can pay to get lots more drum sounds but two is enough for me now.

First rate app, I use it as an initial check of notes when tuning accordions. Also as a very good metronome, quick and easy to change settings when practising various rhythms & tempos. I would like to pay for the app but some bug prevents me from completing payment, tried numerous times, very odd! I finally discovered the payment problem and have now paid, worth every penny, highly recommend.

This is just what I needed, nice n simple, and easy to use. After being in Lockdown, and getting carried away with my own rhythms, this is perfect. I look forward to my ukelele group being able to get together some time soon. This metronome is giving me an added incentive to play in a more controlled way. There are too many to choose from!!
