Are you using the app every time you practice?

I cant say everytime but more than not.   depends on what im doing or trying to accomplish.  Really like playing along to videos and mp3s of a favorite track but i think i was getting kind of an auto pilot thing going.  putting on something that clicks or beats twice a measure has helped me start listening better outside of myself..and is helping with the group thing.  especially with tunes i know but havent played in a group.  its weird.. cant explain..

anyway..Whatevwr works... do that.

I use my metronome occasionally to check-in with my inner sense of timing. 

Also, when I'm trying to gradually speed up something--doing it incrementally to maintain steadiness.

Also (also), when I'm working on something that I tend to rush on--like right now.  I've got a piece I'm going to perform w/others, and I have a couple sections in it that I tend to rush, so I practice that section (as well as the whole piece) with the metronome to make sure I practice the tempo I'm going to play it at & that I'm steady.

Characterize people by their actions and you will never be fooled by their words.

If it hasn't been mentioned, something I'd recommend is to try to hear your accompanist in your head.
