hello fediverse musicians etc, i am looking for a good, solid #metronome app for #ios that does not utilize microtransactions or subscription fees, and won’t sell my data.
i’m fine paying for it as long as these conditions are met! please help me out; the app store is a wasteland.
@zee i have looked at this one but i cannot find any information about the developer’s privacy policy, either in the app store or on their website. i need to know they won’t access my personal info and sell it to advertisers.
@Ethancdavenport It doesn't have access to any device data, nor does it have ads (in the pro version).
Dunno what to tell ya tho; if you want a guarantee that they won't do that you're better off taking the time two learn SwiftUI and put your own out.
@Ethancdavenport Also, I assure you if the solo developer who wrote it in 2014 was selling data; it would have been updated much more frequently to keep up with all the advances in tracking ;).
@zee @Ethancdavenport I can also vouch for this one. Bought it over ten years ago, used it ever since. Their pro tuner is also the best phone tuner app I’ve used.
@zee @Ethancdavenport actually the tuner is called InsTuner
@Ethancdavenport i don’t know but i would love to find out
@Ethancdavenport The built-in metronome in GarageBand at a pinch?
@mathew i had been using that but it’s not very loud and you have to start a recording in order to use it. kind of the whole impetus for asking for a recommendation. appreciate the input though.
@Ethancdavenport Found this open source one that's free and collects no data.

@mathew i will give it a try!!!
@mathew yep this is exactly what i was looking for, thank you so much.
@Ethancdavenport If you want something more fancy, AudioKit's apps are great:
