However, there is a button that links to their other music related apps.

Rating: 4.6 | Reviews: 69 | Downloads: 10K+ | Price: Free
Pros:
It is quite a simple user interface makes it easy to use. It lets you choose themes, and even has an OLED theme, which is one of the unique features of Android and this saves battery because it shuts down pixels that are not in use. The tuner is very functional and responsive.
Cons:
The piano has a very unique interface where each key is represented by a dot, and pressing it generates a note name on the staff. This feature is quite useless for actually playing music, but could be used to jot down simple melodies if you’re outside and have an idea for a song.

This is the most advanced metronome we have tried, and the interface reflects this.
