About Odd Metronome
The Odd Metronome offers you a wide array of possibilities: from a simple quarter note click to a complicated 47/8 rhythm. It’s up to your creativity. The moving cursor will let you follow the rhythm visually, so you never get lost.
The Odd Metronome offers various Latin, Arabic and metronome rhythms and you can easily create your own patterns. It uses standard rhythmical notation. This will also allow you to construct your rhythms using the popular Long-Short Method which creates rhythms from groups of two or three eight notes.
Three high quality sound samples deliver a low, medium and high beat and give an acoustic feel, making it very comfortable to play with. The Odd Metronome comes with six different sound sets: metronome, cajon, darabuka, drums and tabla, for studying various musical styles.
The design is intuitive and clean with only those options and buttons that you really need, leaving you to do what you intended to do, study your instrument.

An Awesome Metronome App (with a Few Bugs)
Okay, so I’ve been using this app for a few years now. I have created about 100 presets for this thing—it is massively helpful for creative rhythmic practice and it is EASY to input. If you can think in cut time, you’ve pretty much got room for most rhythms to be intuited into the app. The one thing functionally it doesn’t do is triplets, but if you’re creative you can find some workarounds and work on your time in the gaps. I’ve written 113-beat rhythmic cycles, which odd-metronome handles without lag. You can pretty much write out entire 8-bar phrases if you’re clever enough with it. The bugs: lately the app has not been opening. It might just need an iOS update. It can be finicky in that regard, but eventually it works. One constant bug the program has had is that it will lose audio if you open another app, so you’ll have to close and re-open odd metronome which can be a time-consuming part of practice if you’re switching in between things or if you have to answer say an email or text. Add the app not opening as of 8/31/24, and it’s a reason to not use it, but I would hope the developers may do some global edits every so often to mitigate these issues. Overall, this app has been an incredibly useful tool. While things like Tonal Energy and PolyNome function in the same way, Odd Metronome has the easiest to understand user interface and you can get to playing right away.

Finally an easy way to set up a metronome for any meter!
Does just what I need, easily. And after spending a bit on other apps that were not worth the trouble. A small improvement: the control of rhythm options is mostly off of the screen on an iPhone SE. so I can’t change sound sets. :-( By the way, the developer is an amazing bass player - if you are into complex meters check out his Arabic music
