## Review summary

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- App appears outdated / not updated for years
