Recommendations for a metronome for picking up piano again?
I am picking up piano again and looking for a relatively simple metronome.
I am probably going to run it on my iPad with my sheet music, so it would be nice to have it readily accessible with easy switching and control.
For this purpose, I like the idea of “big and easy” interface, but if there are innovations or cool features I should know about in more advanced apps, I’m very curious.
An iPhone version is also fine as that goes well when carrying around a guitar.
Update: here are the metronome apps I already own. Any faves?
AudioKit Hey Metronome
Atomic Metronome
Beats Metronome
Chroma Tuner & Metronome
Click Metronome
Drum Beats+ Lite (Groove Machine & Rhythm Metronome)
Drum Loops & Metronome
Guitar Suite - Metronome, Tuner, and Chords Library for Guitar, Bass, Ukulele
Impulse - Metronome Rhythm
Metronome+
PolyNome: THE Metronome

This has been my go-to. I like the clean and simple UI, and the bouncing ball. Each beat can be set to one of 3 different sounds.

Thanks, @GovernorSilver. That looks cool. I just downloaded it. Is the IAP necessary? Also, FYI, I just edited my original post, and added the metronomes that I own.
I think I have several of the same metronome apps - eg. Tunable, Time Guru... Clean UI and bouncing ball wins for me.
The IAP is needed if you want to save presets. I bought it when I got tired of switching between 4-beat and 8-beat settings so now I have them as presets. The IAP cost is so cheap it looks like a steal now compared to recently introduced apps.
The one that you will use that is easy for you.
I like fancy metronome, but in the real world, I never use them.
In case you already own it TE Tuner has a nice metronome built in.
I revisited Hey! Metronome and really like it, but voice recognition doesn’t work in the background, and I really want to use it with my songbooks on my iPad as a single device solution.
@johnfromberkeley I’ve got a good collection of metronome apps too.. 😁
I always seem to come back to one of these when I want to work with a metronome.. different metronomes for different tasks and/or instruments..
Tempo Metronome Super Quick + Easy to adjust - I really like the Tracker + Automator features
Gap Click Can really improve your sense of time with the Gap click + Moving click features
PolyNome - Crazy amount of options - fantastic if you’re a drummer
TimeGuru - cool for additive or compound time signatures - quintuplet, sextuplet + septuplet subdivisions
Thanks, @royor! I went back and looked at polynome. A bit more complicated than I was looking for, but I am also a drummer, and there is something I liked about it.
Let’s keep this thread going!
@johnfromberkeley Well if you’re a drummer, I would definitely check out Benny Greb’s Gap Click metronome.. one of my favourite settings is using a swing click (1st + 3rd part of a triplet) for a bar (or more) and then setting the gap click for the last part of a triplet only.. fun + challenging.. would probably work great for any instrument but I’ve only really used it with drums 🥁
I love Time Guru!
Been using this one for years. No idea how it compares to the others… https://apps.apple.com/us/app/time-trainer-metronome/id502491350
