Nice help menu, one of the first Dr. Beat competitors in the App Store. It has been graphically redesigned since its release.

An excellent multifunction program for guitar.

A free metronome; great to recommend to students. The most accurate metronome in this test.

The only metronome to show conducting patterns, runs slightly fast. iPad version available for purchase.

Can be programmed for various tempos in a piece. One of the most accurate metronomes tested.

A free metronome that functions much like Metronome Pro, but without the additional features. Can be difficult to set a tempo; as you remove your finger, the tempo can change accidentally.

My favorite metronome to use because of its “old school” visual metronome.

An attractive metronome with the intent to replace a DB-90 or other expensive metronome.

A long-time favorite of mine for looks and ease of use.

Iʼm not sure why Frozen Ape decided they needed Tempo 2, but here it is.

The unique feature is that it shows the beat visually with large numbers
