I'm happy with this simple metronome. My main complaint is that there appears to be no way to change the sound of the accented beat. You can change the sound for the normal beat, but not the accented one. I would like it to make it more dominant, and not in the frequency range of my music.

Only thing I would add is a bell sound for the 1st beat accent. Started out using this app for running to keep a constant cadence. Then started learning piano and using this app. It can be hard to hear the first beat accent over the piano, which is why I think a bell sound should be added as an option for the 1sr beat accent.

I love this app. It's simple, no ads, does exactly what I need. I use least for music and mostly for pacing my steps when I walk and run. The background mode lets me play a podcast on top of the metronome and I have tempos saved for my walking pace and for my running pace. Great job dev(s)!
