If you type metronome into google play, or search for metronome in apple’s App Store, you will be swamped with results, most of them free, I expect most of them will be reliable enough now that we are no longer in the dawn of the age of the hand held computer.

If all you want is something to go click, or ping or tick tok tok tick tok tok, keep a steady tempo, and not crash every five minutes, then pick which ever one takes your fancy.

If, however, like me, you want a tool that will help you with:

• Developing your internal sense of time
• digesting various types of swing
• comprehension of subdivisions
• syncopation
• developing speed

then this is the metronome for you:

Dr Betotte

This, amongst other things, allows:

• Custom time signatures and subdivision accents
• Swing settings
• Quiet setting (volume drops down at set intervals)
• Step up and step down variations in tempo

It’s the only metronome I know that can do this.
