The new Polyrhythm Mode enables concurrent playback of two meters with different beats per measure, synced on the bar. Find out what any combination of up to 20 beats per measure sounds like.
Retaining the hyper-accurate audio engine from our bestselling Tempo, the UI on Tempo Advance has been rethought to focus on the metronome visual cues.
Auto setlist advancement, accelerando, ritardando and playback tracking makes it possible for you to program count-ins or complex songs with varying tempo, time signatures and rhythms.

Fantastic!!
Biffer0221
Being an avid percussionist, this app has been such a vital part of my practice time! I was introduced to the app by my Drumline instructor a couple years ago and have used it almost religiously in the years since! Definitely worth the price!
Tempo Adv. Works Well!

I'm one of those people that has downloaded dozens of metronome apps looking for one that I like the most. I've downloaded some that had cool features, but the sounds were horrible, or the sounds were quality but the app aesthetics were largely underdeveloped. Tempo Adv. has it all; great sounds, features and all of the above. One feature that would make this app even cooler would be a gap click. Overall, I've been very pleased.
A couple issues but AMAZING
Chris Drapeau
I use this for guitar exercises and it’s absolutely amazing. It’s also awesome for writing music. I feel though as the iOS for Apple has updated I’ve noticed a few hiccups. I use the increase in tempo a lot and it seems that when it’s increasing automatically when it gets to the 3 digit numbers (100+ obviously) only the first 2 digits of the number show up...so say when I go from 95bmp then it bounces up to 100 it only displays 10. And say 115 looks like 11. Not a huge deal and I’ll work around it but I wasn’t sure if you had heard of this and were trying to fix it! Just letting you know! The other issue has seemed to resolve itself with a new phone purchase but the tap tempo action was causing the app to crash, but it seems fine now!
Everything I want in a click and more
Robimagine
Set lists, polyrhythmic meters, tap tempo, yeah, that'll do it.
Great app! But complicated...
Bass-Dave
I use this app almost every day, would highly recommend it. I gave it 4 stars, and would have given it 5 if there was an easier way to hide the complexity. I only use the standard one click per beat metronome, but all the advanced features are right up front and I have to tip toe around them to make sure I don’t accidentally press a button the gets the app into a state that is hard to back out of. And I would add that I could use some of the advanced features for sure but they are hard to figure out, so I don’t bother.
Been Using It for Years

I use this app regularly. Although I’ve been using it for a number of years, I only just now took advantage of the automated tempo-advance feature. Very helpful for bringing a guitar version of a fiddle tune up to speed. (Actually it was a transcription of a Michelle McLaughlin piano piece, but you get the point!). This app and the “Anytune Pro” app have been VERY helpful with my transcription work.
