It seems that once a week or so I have a student claiming that they couldn’t use a metronome for some reason – if you have a similar problem, there are two options that anyone with a web browser and an internet connection can use – completely free!

If you don’t particularly care for Google search, a similar search on Bing will yield the same result, although Microsoft’s metronome actually has a few more advanced functions than Google’s does:

Of course, there are still a wide variety of metronome apps that you can get for free or a small amount of money, but now the number of excuses about not having a metronome or not being able to afford a metronome app are pretty much obsolete!
