Metronome+ review
A free iOS and macOS practice app with metronome, recording, loops and programmed tempos.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Metronome+ is a music-practice app for iPhone, iPad and compatible Mac devices. It combines a metronome with customizable accents, a chromatic tuner, practice recording and sharing, automatic tempo loops, saved setlists, a pitch player and programmed practice sessions. That makes it a fit for musicians who want more than a basic click, particularly iOS users building repeatable practice routines, tracking sessions or preparing multiple pieces with different settings.
The app uses a freemium model with optional one-time in-app purchases. The published purchase options include Unlock Everything, which unlocks all listed modes, plus individual unlocks for the option menu, Record Mode, Pitch Mode, Setlist Mode, Practice Mode, and options menu and settings. This structure lets a user choose between a broader unlock and feature-specific purchases, while the free app covers customizable accents, tap tempo, recording, tempo loops, setlists, pitch playback and programmed practice. Buyers should review which functions they need before choosing between the available unlock paths.
Its main strength is breadth within a practice-focused design: several modes can operate simultaneously, tempo progression exercises support structured work, and recordings can be shared. Setlists help organize saved settings, while the tuner and pitch player extend the app beyond tempo control. The trade-off is that its value depends on wanting these added practice tools; musicians seeking only a straightforward metronome may find the wider feature set unnecessary. Metronome+ is a strong match for iOS users who want customizable practice extras and a weaker fit for users outside the Apple ecosystem or those who do not need recording, setlists, pitch playback or programmed tempo changes.
