Clockwork - Metronome & Click Track App Reviews

Had issues with sound, but the IOS 5 compatibility update just came out and fixed the problem! I am glad it did as it looks like a great program and I look forward to using it. Thanks!

Before the iOS 5 update, the sound was messed up and it would cause my phone to mute, but after it works perfectly normal. Great app. Realistically, you probably wont use the click track editor, unless you rehearse a lot of varied tempi.

Great application! Nice features with an accessible layout. It would benefit from having a swipe feature for set-lists to change through songs easier.

This thing is awesome. Looks unobtrusive just to have open on my desk or stand. I only wish that when you open it it wouldnt default to the accent on 1. Personally I never use the accent when Im practicing anyway, so it might be nice to be able to set the default settings when opened. Also, I thought the thing going around in circles would annoy me... It doesnt. They grey look of the app is very low profile yet good looking. It would also be nice if you could somehow add accents to different sub divisions. It doesnt seem like any metronome can do that yet.

Its a powerful metronome app that is super easy to use and intuitive to figure out. When you want a basic click to keep time, it doesnt get in the way. But when you want more control, its ready for you! I used it to easily program complex tempo and meter changes for Bartok - something no physical metronome has ever been able to do, and a task which is cumbersome on other metronome apps. It seems like there might be a bug that makes editing click tracks very difficult after the initial creation. Overall, however, well worth the money! ...I just wish the accent didnt keep turning back on every time I make a change... But this is a small gripe!

Need to be able to export tracks between devices. Otherwise, it works.

LIke its companion app ClearTune, this is a well thought out, well written app. Ive tried a few others but this one is straightforward, and intuitive. The user interface is clear and easy to use. I never use emphasis because as a percussionist, play works with complex meters. I would be great if the app would save the current setup as a default, otherwise, this is my favorite and only metronome. Its loud enough and the visual feedback is helpful as well. I havent tried the click track editor yet but what I really want is a simple, well implemented app, which this clearly is. PS Im clearly NOT "dissapointed" and dont understand how this designation got assigned.

My new fave metronome! All the features are well developed and work great. Nice design, clearly made by musicians.

This is the only metronome that I need and will ever need. It has all the features I would ever want. Simply the best.

Great app. I have one request … there needs to be a choice of sounds for the accent. I find the chime sound really annoying. Either a way to just have a louder click, or some other contrasting percussive tone like a closed hi-hat or shaker or tambourine. Anything but that piercing little bell sound. It aggravates my early stage tinnitus. Otherwise … kudos.

This is an excellent app. I am a fan of Cleartune as well. I got this Clockwork app because of the feature that enables you to adjust the length of subdivisions. While learning a movement of Bartok Quartet No. 5 which was in 9/8 that had subdivisions of 4+2+3, this app was terrific except that I needed a tempo of 414 and the limit on the app is 300. Please raise the tempo limit to 420 and you will increase your number of users. I believe that Tempo by Frozen Ape has a tempo limit of 400. It lacks the adjustable subdivision feature which is unique to Clockwork.

Its easy to use, settings are simple and accessible, tapping out the rhythm is super handy, but the accent is high pitched and annoying. You can turn down the volume on just the accent, but the smallest bit is just as annoying. REQUEST: PLEASE provide alternative accents! This addition will make this the best metronome app available!

Checked the accuracy with my Dr. Beat, and its right on. All the features a metronome should have, and very easy to use. The click track feature goes beyond a standard metronome, and could come in very handy for multi metered passages.

The volume is too low; all these metronome apps seem to have too low of a volume. Thats a real shame.

Please add a way of saving settings. I dont usually want an accent so I turn it off. But every time I restart the app, I have to turn it off again. :-(

This is a great metronome app, especially the ability to create different sections and tempo variations. However, the max tempo is 300 bpm. I record a lot of songs in odd rhythms (ie. 11/16) and need the tempo much faster than that. Otherwise, its great!

No ads here! Just a clean app! The graphics make this a great teaching tool for a young (5 years old) musician. The options make it a great practice tool for experienced players too.

This is a great tool to use while playing. I am a drummer and one thing I wish I could do is type in the beat that I want, since I lead transitions into other songs. I go from a 121 to 85 very quickly and would be easier to type it in, instead of scroll. Other then that, great app.

Love that you can set click tracks and record your own sounds!

I love this app but I wish it was iPad optimized, you dont need to add any new features just for that version but please just make it.
