![]() ![]() MobileSheets Pro ($12.99) The Android (and Windows 10) equivalent of ForScore, this is a full-featured music reader application. ![]() Metronome: Tempo ($1.50) – This app includes all the basic metronome functionality along with the ability to make and share setlists, so you can easily keep track of pieces for a particular gig or record your progress for a particular piece over time – all right in the metronome app.This one can also do mixed meter and can speak the beats. Time Guru ($2) – A basic metronome with a unique feature – the ability to randomly mute the beat pattern, to check if you are rushing or dragging without the metronome’s beat.iStroboSoft ($5) – Peterson has an excellent track record as a maker of precision strobe and handheld tuners, but although I’m sure this app is equally well done, I don’t know if it’s (relatively) high price tag is justified by increased accuracy or features.A tone generator and a metronome are also included. The screen turns red if you’re out of tune and slowly turns green the longer you stay in tune, so it’s fairly easy to use and understand from a distance. Selectable difficulty settings for an “in tune” note make this appropriate for both beginner and advanced players. A tuner with a unique historical-type view shows how steady (or not) your pitch is over time. Tuneable ($4) – Read my review of Tunable here.There are fewer options here than in some other apps, but it does contain a fully chromatic tuner, selectable temperaments, and a tone generator. Cleartune ($4) – Read my review of ClearTune right here.Also gives you a smiley face when you’re in tune! This app includes a tuner, metronome, recorder, analysis page, and a pitch pipe. One of the most popular tuning apps available. TonalEnergy ($4) – Read my review of TonalEnergy here.Here are some more recommendations, broken down by platform.Īndroid Apps for Musicians: Tuner/Metronome Apps It’s not cheap, but I think it’s worth it. While there are other (good) options for iOS, I think ForScore is a nice combination of ease-of-use and powerful functionality. ![]() While it’s certainly not perfect, it has some interesting features, including a metrodrone (combination metronome and drone), and contains features designed to encourage deliberate practice. Right now it’s iOS only, but they are working on an Android version.
