Features & Capabilities

Time Guru Metronome trains your inner clock by introducing intentional silence. It periodically goes quiet—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. Features include random muting, pattern muting, and unlimited meter sequences, with meters up to 16/x and easy drag-and-drop reordering.

Other highlights include gradual tempo changes, a practical practice timer, 35 sound sets with accent control, drum-pattern options, multilingual voice counting, tap tempo, iCloud backup, light/dark themes, and full VoiceOver accessibility. The app delivers rock-solid timing via a custom audio engine and works on Mac (Apple Silicon) as well as iOS.

User Reviews

Time Guru Metronome excels at flexible rhythm/tempo customization (odd meters, pattern-based mute) and per-song presets with instrument-specific sounds, making it a powerful teaching and practice tool. Reviewers praise its versatility and ability to help internalize timing. However, multiple reviews note post-update reliability and UI issues: performance slowdowns, light/sound desync, and tempo glitches; reorganized UI reduces intuitiveness; trouble deleting or editing saved tempos; and occasional BPM bugs.

Pros

Highly flexible meter and rhythm customization (odd meters, patterns, and mixing rhythms)
Random mute/pattern mute feature to aid timing practice
Per-song tempo/time presets with instrument-specific sound options
Great teaching tool for uneven pulses and complex rhythms; versatile for practice
Simple on-device metronome that can scale from basic clicks to powerful training setups

Cons

Post-update reliability and synchronization issues (lag, slow performance, light vs sound desync, tempo glitches)
UI/UX complexity after updates (reorganized features; not intuitive; hard to program)
Difficulty managing saved tempos/presets (inability to delete tempos; editing tempo lists issues)
Tempo-specific bugs (occasional BPM jumps like 99-101; can't set 100)

Recent reviews

I dinged it one star for usability. It’s not a huge problem, but it has room to improve. I would give it an enthusiastic five stars, otherwise. As a bluegrass bassist, you’re essentially the kick drum. You don’t time to them so much as they time to you. If your internal clock is off, the whole band suffers. This app seems so much more effective than just a basic metronome. Love it!
