Works great!

I use it to practice drum covers!

How do you contact the developer?

Website is just a single page, no links but to download?

Can you add songs to folders or groups?

Response from developer

The webpage is one page and has a large “download” button at the bottom. You can’t miss it. Is this a fake review? There is a Send Feedback link on the menu. Currently there are no groups or folders on the app.

Game Changer!

I can now slow almost any song down to learn the notes and rhythm until I really get the songs. Fantastic

Thanks for the feedback!

App drops songs from imported playlists

I’m updating my original review. I was having trouble with songs dropping from the app but it has since been fixed. Jeff, the app developer reached out to me many months later to let me know that this has been addressed. I was never expecting this, and it says a lot about him and his commitment to quality and customer support.

If only there was a way to adjust the pitch up or down a few cents that, to me, would complete the app.

I was really attracted to this app for the features it had but after using it for an hour I’m really disappointed with it. The app keeps dropping songs imported from Apple play. I have uploaded a 9 song playlist several times in the past hour. The app keeps dropping the songs, and I have to delete the playlist and upload them again. This has happened 5 times in the past hour. This is very frustrating because I love the features of this app and hope you can get it fixed. I even upgraded to the ultimate version and still have issues. As is right now, I would not recommend this app.

Dcat, thanks for using Practice Player! We’ve indeed fixed a lot of issues. Even more recently with Apple Music. Hope you continue to use and enjoy the app.

Buggy

Have loved this app in the past but lately it will suddenly stop playing after 4 or 5 loops. Also if you want to keep it playing while phone goes into sleep mode it will stop playing after a few seconds. Will have to switch to another app

Hi Rrrrroxy, thanks for using Practice Player, The newest version has some fixes for a variety of issues that popped up in recent iOS versions. Feel free to reach out on the send feedback link too, we’d love to know more so that we can keep things running smoothly.

Very handy, easy to use, responsive support

I found this product perfect for my needs especially slowing or speeding up and being able to label stops easily. When I had a support issue the team got back quickly and followed up. I highly recommend

Great but still needs some polish

Overall this is a great app and is very intuitive to use. There are some aspects that still need work.
1. It would be very helpful if there was an option to keep the screen active and not dim and then sleep. As it is, I continually have to unlock my phone if I don’t touch the screen every so often.
2. There is a bug with the speed setting. Sometimes when my phone sleeps and I then unlock and go back into the app, the speed has reset to normal speed (I had it set at a slower setting).

Even so, this is a very useful app. Fix the aforementioned issues and it gets five stars.

Hey there NXJ, thanks for using Practice Player! I appreciate the feedback. I fixed the speed setting issue in the most recent version. I also made the screen not dim while the player is open. Thanks for the report.

Dcat, sorry to hear that apple music song import isn’t working. I’ve had this report from other users but haven’t made it around to fixing it quite yet. If you’d have time to reach out to me via the app contact, I’d love to know if you have any restrictions on cellular data usage for the music app or for practice player, or any other restrictions you believe may be impacting this feature. Apple frequently breaks their APIs too. So sometimes stuff gets fixed with new iOS releases. Thanks for the report.

Love this app!

I really enjoy using to app to practice performing songs. One suggestion I have is to add a countdown metronome for songs.

Response from developer

Hey Superkudo, thanks for using Practice Player! That’s a good suggestion we’ve been thinking about already. it would help a lot for being ready for the next loop iteration. Thanks for the feedback!

Love my Practice Player’s application.
It is great to learn new tunes by setting two to four bar loops including adjustment of the tempo in order to keep up with recordings. I am also using this app. to transcribe solo, licks and runs from my favorite recordings.
