Dr.Betotte Metronome

As a band director, I use this app (on the iPad) frequently. It has a lot of the functionality of a Dr. Beat. I wish, however, that it had a better master volume control. I find it difficult to quickly, easily, accurately control the master volume when I need to turn it up or down. Rather than having the relatively small volume control at the top of the app, I suggest adding a full-sized master volume slider along with the other sliders. I also wish that it was possible to hide the playlist on the side as I only use that feature occasionally.

I bought it, but I’m not going to use it. I can tell you that it is a well thought out, versatile, and feature rich, app. Here is my example: 2/4 time, on beat #1 play four 16th notes, the first two notes are assigned sound A. The second two are assigned sound B. For beat #2 use sounds A and B to play two 8th notes. This is the kind of metronome i use to practice drum sticking exercises. How can this be done? Maybe I can do it with the sequencer feature, but that is the main problem. The developer provides a sequencer, but no documentation on how to use it. It is not intuitive enough for the uninitiated. The built in help is lame; the online help does not exist. Ill go back to using Metronomics until there is better support for this app. Ill give it 5 stars when some better documentation shows up

I love this app because I love my Dr. Beat. But I am not sure how the I-watch companion is supposed to work. When I open the app on my watch it shows the tempo screen, but when I push play nothing happens. Please help?! Thanks!

Unfortunately this metronome app still, after so many years, has a lot of bugs and basic features that needs fixing. It’s almost unusable in a professional setting. Takes so much longer to program setlists let alone edit them afterwards. Update. During a soundcheck I started feeling it was too fast or kinda pushing the time. Compared it with my Dr. Beat and yes, the app is slowly getting away from the Dr. Beat!! Can’t use it anymore.

This app is one feature short of being the perfect live metronome. Unfortunately it’s a very important feature so I have to use something else. The start/stop button is so small and near the bottom. When a drummer is in a live situation, he or she cannot be expected to press something so tiny. In fact, it’s not even a button... just a word. This app is so close and yet so far...
