User Reviews

Pulse is praised for being easy to use, visually appealing, accurate, and free, with customization options. However, multiple reviews cite weak or absent Apple Watch haptics and general watch compatibility issues, plus unclear start/stop controls. Live-use limitations—especially slow playlist switching and limited editing—and apparent lack of updates are common complaints. Overall, strong core metronome with a dated, watch-dependent user experience and limited live features.

Pros

Easy to use / simple / intuitive interface
Visually pleasing with a minimal, clean design
Accurate and precise metronome with reliable performance
Free to use with an ad-free experience
Customizable accents, pulse colors, and metronome sounds

Cons

Weak or inaudible haptic feedback on Apple Watch
Apple Watch compatibility issues; not functioning or controllable, sometimes not working in background
Unclear start/stop controls and tempo selection; hard to manage
Difficult live-use features: slow or limited switching between songs/playlists, editing is limited
App appears outdated / not updated for years

While it’s a sleek and simple app it drains battery in the background for some reason, it stayed on for 12 hours and brought my battery life from 90 to 20 overnight.

Love it but please add 1) an option to change the time signature on the main screen without having to go to settings 2) customizable bpm presets on the main screen
