ABLooplay: AB Repeat Player

Slow down & loop for shadowing

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Paste a link copied from a video app and loop any scene from A to B, as often and in as many spots as you like. Slow it down, same pitch. Record yourself and compare. Loop any part of a track and slow it down without changing the pitch. Loop the sentence you can’t catch and compare your voice, or learn a song by ear at half speed in any key. It works with videos too, and as an everyday music player. ■ From here to there, again and again Watch the waveform and tap A and B — only that part repeats. Pause to pick the gaps by eye, and add a pause between repeats to say it back. Missed a sentence? Tap “Loop This Sentence”: it finds the pauses around it and loops it, no A or B needed. ■ Auto-split by sentence (Pro) Auto-split › By sentence cuts wherever the sound stops for 1 second or more, making a section for every sentence at once. Set “Plays before moving on” to 3 and long lessons play through on their own. Pro also adds unlimited sections and an equalizer to bring bass, vocals, drums, guitar or piano forward. ■ Compare with your voice Record yourself with “Record Voice”, then tap “Original → You” to hear both back to back and catch differences in pronunciation and intonation. ■ Half speed, same pitch From 0.5× to 2× without changing the pitch. “Speed up a little each loop” adds 0.05× per play up to 1×, and the key shifts up to ±6 semitones to match your instrument. Zoom to 3 s and slide the waveform to land on the first word or note, or nudge A and B by ±0.1 s. ■ A–B loops for videos, too In the Videos tab, paste a video link and it plays in the app; tap “A Start” and “B End” to loop the part in between. Your own videos (MP4, MOV) from the Files app are listed by folder, with a waveform for setting sections. Play counts, pauses, speed and voice comparison work as for songs. Videos from a link have no waveform or Auto-split, and videos stop when you leave the app. ■ Practice log and favorites Each day you practice 1 minute or more in AB Repeat gets a stamp on the Log tab’s calendar (a star on goal days). Tap a day to see your time and loops, and set a practice reminder there. Tap the star next to “Section 1 of 3” to save a section to a folder, then loop it right away from “Favorite Sections”. ■ An everyday music player, too Tap a song in the Music tab and a large player slides up; swipe down to browse while it plays. ≡ gives you up next, shuffle, repeat, speed and a sleep timer, and the speech bubble shows lyrics. Search by title, artist or album, and control it from the Lock Screen. ■ Adding audio Import MP3s from the Files app, singly or by folder, or copy them in from a computer. m4a, wav, aiff, unprotected songs from your music library, podcast episodes and audio from videos in Photos work too. Tracks are sorted by editable ID3 tags (artist → album → song), and empty tags are filled from file and folder names. ■ Also • LRC scripts and subtitles (SRT, VTT) show each sentence and check your dictation • A hands-on tutorial with 8 English sentences • Two columns and keyboard control on iPad; a vertical tab strip on the foldable iPhone Duo • Speed, sections and key are saved per song • No ads. Your files and recordings stay on your device; the app only goes online for podcasts and videos from a link ■ Without Pro, and Pro Without Pro you get the basics: up to 3 sections per song or video, Loop This Sentence, ±0.1 s, speed, key, speed-up, pauses, repeat counts, voice comparison, the practice log, favorites, 2 playlists, and unlimited videos, both your own and from a link. ABLooplay Pro adds auto-split, unlimited sections, the equalizer and unlimited playlists.

■ Built-in samples to try auto-split Tap "Sample Audio" or "Sample Video" at the top of the A–B Repeat and Video tabs. Ten basic sentences are in one file; tap "Auto-split" to make one section per sentence. The samples can use Pro features too. ■ Shuffle and repeat for playlists Shuffle a playlist in Music. In A–B Repeat, choose what happens when a track ends (stop, next track, or play again) and shuffle the tracks. ■ "Stop A–B Loop" While a section repeats, the bottom bar shows "Stop A–B Loop". Your A and B marks stay, and playback continues from there. ■ Easier section selection A section you choose during a repeat no longer jumps back to the old one. The section menu's "Find in List…" opens a list that keeps its place while the loop plays. In the video screen, the top bar is gone: close your own videos with the ← at the top-left, and linked videos with the Back button at the bottom.
