About Time Guru Metronome for iPad
The "Gap Click" Revolution - Most musicians lean on the click; Time Guru lets you to own the beat. Time Guru is the only metronome that periodically goes silent—randomly, in patterns, or both—so you discover whether you rush, drag, or lose your place. It's like training wheels that lift off the ground.
Designed for the iPad Canvas Building complex rhythms shouldn't feel cramped. Our iPad-specific interface allows you to view and edit unlimited chains of shifting meters without constant scrolling:
• Expansive Sequencer: Build 4/4 → 7/8 → 3/4 → 11/16 with ease.
• Intuitive Editing: Use the larger screen for precise drag-and-drop rearranging of meter patterns.
• High Visibility: Perfect for use on a music stand; see your place in the sequence from a distance.
Random & Pattern Muting Set any percentage of random muting to test your timekeeping, or create sequenced muting patterns. You'll quickly learn exactly where your timing falls apart—and strengthen your internal clock to fix it.
Smart Practice Tools
• Gradual Tempo Changes: Automatically speed up or slow down to build technical speed.
• Practice Timer: Stay focused on your scales without glancing at the clock.
• Pro Sound Sets: 35 loud, clear sounds with precise accent/unaccent balance control.
• Full Accessibility: Robust VoiceOver support for visually impaired musicians.

Doesn’t work in portrait mode on iPad Pro
Pretty annoying when practicing with scores on the iPad. Other than the gradual function it really doesn’t do anythimg that Tonal Energy’s metronome doesn’t do, and that app is much more user friendly and has many more features. This was a game changing app in it’s day but has been left behind, unfortunately.

Super glitchy iPad Pro
Completely useless on iPad Pro. Deleted and re-installed. Emailed for advice several times to no response. Great for iPhone, crap for iPad. Stay away. The issue was that the controls for adding or removing subdivisions in the “meter select” don’t work. So if I added any variation to the metronome it was irreversible, and in order to clear it and get a new metronome, I had do delete and reinstall the app. Annoying to the max in the middle of a practice routine. I’ll revise my rating if they fix this issue, or even respond to my query.
