Guitar Player Magazine says: "This ingenious super metronome was developed by funky-as-hell Sco sideman Avi Bortnick. It will leave out beats randomly to force you to strengthen your own inner time-keeping muscles, and it has other cool features for odd meters, drum machine-style patterns, and more...this is an awesome learning, grooving, solidifying tool."
NoTreble.com says: "I love the aesthetic and layout of Time Guru. It’s very simple and elegant. Time Guru also offers ability to set randomness of your subdivisions (great for testing your internal clock)... There is one thing that Time Guru does that I absolutely love, and for which, this app will always live on my Phone – at the top of the screen, you will see a series of numbers (1-7). When you press a number, it is set first in a sequence and you can choose a subdivision that will then repeat that number of times (or set it to rest that number of times). Sound confusing? It isn’t, because the layout is so simple. Every time you press a new number, it is set next in the sequence and you choose your continue to choose your subdivisions."
Develop your inner sense of rhythm with Time Guru - the only metronome with the ability to mute its sound at random, in sequenced patterns, or both, so that you can assess whether you tend to rush or drag or lose your place with odd meters. Time Guru can periodically leave you on your own so that you strengthen your own internal sense of time, rather than relying on the constant, rigid, external time keeping of a metronome. It's like training wheels that sometimes come up off the ground.
Time Guru also features:
-the ability to play in different time signatures or sequences of time signatures (additive time signatures)
-create rhythmic drum-machine like patterns
-save presets for tempo, meter, sound and muting-
-35 loud sound sets;
-Human or robot voice counting in English, Chinese, French, German or Russian - great for teaching!
-tap tempo (5 to 300 BPM range)
-super accurate, rock-solid timing via a customized audio engine.
And of course it can function as a normal metronome. It is the ultimate tool for becoming a rock-steady, time guru.

**Still waiting for a widget option!** One of the best practice tools I've bought from the Play Store. Highly recommended! I've been using his app for a few years now... My dream of having a widget still hasn't come true: The ability to create a widget for one of my home screens, so I don't have to navigate the app drawer every time I need to use time guru is the one thing that prevents me from using it more. where's the "clear all" button? its unnecessarily difficult to modify the rhythm

The app is amazing but there's one very annoying flaw. When changing the tempo long pressing the left and right buttons, Unlike the ios version where it jumps to numbers ending in 5 or 0 (0,5,10,15..), on the Android version it jumps by 1 and then jumps by consecutive 5s. This jumping system makes no sense and makes it harder to reach the desired tempo. Please fix this ~~~. Other than that the app is fantastic. I'll 5☆ once this is fixed!

I love the simplicity of this app and the fact that you can use multiple time signatures in a queue, but I wish you could change the click rate without changing the time signature. To elaborate, right now the click of the metronome follows the time signature (4/4 time signature = 1/4 note click). It would be nice to have an 1/8 or 1/16 note click with an accent on the 1 of the bar instead of being limited to a click rate which is tied to the time signature.

Won't give it 5 stars, because I only bought it for the ability to mute bars...which took a minute to figure out honestly, but only because of my ineptness. As far as other features, it's a pretty basic click. There a good amount of click sounds which is refreshing, but again, the most useful thing for me is the muting feature. By far the best way I have found to develope a drummer's internal clock.

I like the app and the UI took a minute to figure out but I think it's cool. I setup a couple clave beats and there's a bug saving them. It seems to save fine but when I reload one it always seem to have a change that wasn't supposed to be there.

TL;DR-Love it, 4/5 because I can't make presets longer. Love this app for rhythm training. I'm in my Masters for tuba and I'm using this quite extensively for subdivision on Die Meistersinger and Prokofiev 5. Would be willing to pay more if I were able to make longer presets for beats - to use for the entirety of one excerpt where meters change often. I'd love to cue up Rite of Spring in this, but the presets are too short!!!

the only improvements I would suggest is to enter the bpm value from a dial pad as well. it is only available from the slider and the arrows and it's quite inconvenient. also it would be great if there was an option for 32nds (because of the fact that there is the option for 16nths septuplets and they are so close each other)

Hi there, Just to thank you for your job on this app, it's incredible. My rhythm teacher told me about it and it is tremendously helpful. Really well thought. I was afraid of metronomes before and I now have fun practicing with it. Thank you very much! I'm gonna spread the word about it, it's so perfect. Cheers !
