“Its secret is incorporating various visual options such as 3D bouncing balls, animated drumsticks and conductor’s baton graphics. Rather like those used in karaoke machines, their rise and fall incorporates a ‘gravity bounce’ that feels like having your own conductor to help you keep in time”

Not available for the Mac or Linux, sorry. Since it requires the complete Windows operating system rather than the stripped down Windows CE, it's not available for a standard smartphone (though you can export seamlessly looping videos of the metronome to play on mobile devices) . Requires Windows XP or later - for details follow this link: For Windows.

Screenshots
Here are a few screen shots of the 3D metronome and the dial.

This is a screen shot. You need to download your free 30 day test drive of the metronome to try it out. Or take a look at my youtube videos of the metronome with sound.
The sea is animated when you play it - that's an extra touch which makes it pleasant and relaxing to use the metronome. I have taken care over the design so that your many hours of metronome practice can be a pleasant experience.
In fact, you can use any animation you like for the sea or for the sky, even as an animated texture for the bouncing balls or baton. You can even watch a movie in the background with subtitles while you practice with the metronome - if that is your thing :-).
The splash effect helps you to see the moment of the beat clearly.

You can use the numbers to the right to set the time signature and number of subdivisions. You can also use the triangle controls to adjust the beats per measure by hand to make polyrhythms - so in this way can do many tasks entirely within the 3D window.
Here is the tempo dial

This is a screen shot. You need to download your free 30 day test drive of the metronome to try it out.
You click on the dial to set the tempo. You can also tap at the desired tempo with the backspace key (chosen because it is large so easy to use when practicing).
Keyboard shortcuts - use the left and right arrow keys to increase tempo by 1 BPM at a time or up or down arrow keys to vary by one notch at a time. This works throughout Bounce Metronome Pro.
You can use the Return key to stop or start the metronome - again this is a large key on the keyboard so easy to use while practicing, when it could be fiddly to click on an on-screen button with the mouse.
Gradual changes of tempo
You can also set the dial to vary the tempo gradually over a number of seconds or minutes - either to practice a piece at faster and faster (or slower and slower) tempi - or to practice the difficult art of smooth slow and gradual tempo changes. As you play you will see the pointer on the dial gradually move up or down as the tempo changes automatically to play faster or slower as desired.
Automated conducting of all the rhythms for an entire piece
For more advanced users, you can also make a script with all the tempo and time signature changes for an entire musical piece. It can change rhythm automatically at all the right bar numbers for the music - and with support for repeats, and flow directions (like Da Capo Al Coda etc). Don't worry - this isn't that technical, the script is simple and easy to understand.
Then you can just click the play button and watch it conduct all the rhythms for the piece.
FREE BONUS
Your unlock key also unlocks the "fractal" tunes for Tune Smithy - make fractal music intricate as snowflakes - your very own royalty free music. To read about this feature or to try out the fractal tunes to see what you get, visit: Play and Create Tunes as Intricate as Snowflakes.
