Metronome Beats is a fantastic free app 📱 designed for musicians 👨🎤, dancers 💃, and anyone who needs to keep a steady beat! With over 10 million downloads 💯, it's trusted worldwide for music practice 🎼, teaching 👨🏫, and even keeping tempo during activities like running 🏃 and golf 🏌️. This app combines a metronome, speed trainer, and drum machine all in one!
The app is designed to be super easy to use 👍. You can quickly increase or decrease the tempo with just a tap. The visual beat indicators 👀 help you keep track of where you are in the bar, and you can even mute the sound while still seeing the tempo visually. Plus, you can customize the sound settings ⚙️ or change the pitch to make it easier to hear over your instrument 🎸.
Need only a few bars to lead in? The timer function ⏱️ lets you stop the metronome when you want. You can also use Metronome Beats with other apps 🌐, so you can read sheet music 🎶 on your tablet while the metronome helps you maintain the right tempo.
On tablets 💻, the layout is specially designed to give you access to all the features on one screen. Key features include:
- Separate layout for larger devices
- Drum Machine 🥁
- Speed Trainer 🏃♂️
- Tempo selection from 1 to 900 BPM
- Tap tempo button for quick tempo selection
- Option to keep playing in the background 🎧

- Option to accent the first beat of the bar
- Visual beat indication for silent practice
- Automatic saving of settings 💾
- Adjustable pitch for better audibility
For even more features, check out Metronome Beats Pro, which includes a “live” mode where you can create and play set lists! 🎉
Metronome Beats is supported by ads 📢, which is why it needs internet and network state permissions. Check out the Stonekick blog for more tips and tricks! 📚
