It works and it also works
Simple app that promises certain features that it does as advertised. Isn't it strange that increasing the tempo of a recording in most other apps also raises the pitch. And raising the pitch involves an increase of tempo. I never got that. This app only does what you ask it to. Raising the tempo does just that, only. When increasing the pitch, the tempo stays as it was. There are a bunch of other cool settings. Excellent app! Handy for music makers who want to play around with sound and have control.

Great for learning to play along songs
This app is great to learn to play along your favourite song. It can slow down the song without changing the pitch. The speed can be adjusted so one can learn at their own speed. You can also put markers in the song and let it loop within the markers in order to practice a specific part of the song without having to stop and rewind manually.
Overall, it's a great learning tool to help you play your favourite song!

Worth every penny
The answer to all my dreams. Speed up a backing track and change the key with good quality and send to other apps, etc... I love it. Worth ever penny. A gem of an app. Only suggestions, if any, would be some kind of audio splice, copy and paste facility, volume control and I know I'm pushing it here, an audio overdub facility. All in all an amazing app. So glad I found it. 5 stars.

A Stretch In Time Saves ...
As a 'Slow Down/ Learn the Notes' Practice App this is pretty much without peer (all the others are horribly glitchy with live scrubbing!).
The real genius of this deceptively simple app for me is its potential as a powerful, tactile, intuitive and supremely musical ' Musical Instrument' in its own right! Yup that's right!
I've spent hours spectral bending a piece of Bernard Hermanns immense stretched jazzy terror from Taxi Driver... And it takes it somewhere even stranger!
This is powerful performance instrument in its own right! Grab an iPad, Audiostretch and some samples and start your own 'Electro Kronos Quartet!' Awesome!!!

The only app you need for figuring out solos...period!
I don't usually write reviews, but I have been using AudioStretch for only a few days and I have to say this is the single most powerful tool for figuring out solos and fast/complex passages I have ever used!
As of this writing, the guys at AudioStretch just added markers and I can now say this app is as close to simple perfection as you can get. No matter how much "better" technology gets, this app will remain a important piece in my toolbox for this purpose.
If you pride yourself as the type of person that learns songs, solos and riffs by ear, you need this app!!

Fantastic app
Works really well. A big help for anyone learning a musical instrument. Highly recommend it.
Brilliant Utility App, and really, much more...
If you are a musician in need of an Audio Breakdown/Analysis Tool for Pitch and Phrasing and your Audio source is good enough to be worthy of this beast, then it is one of THE great bargains for musicians.
It is also capable of doing so much more than that if connected to an Output Source in Audiobus...where it has the potential for exceedingly cool experimentation. Audio Artifacts are negligible, even at 5x sped up or slowed down, and the touch wav file play option is similarly perfectly implemented.
If you are a musician working in OSX or PC and do not know about some of the things that are available to you in the iOS system, time to investigate and get over the idea that great Audio Production, Synthesis, Audio Processing, Instrumentation, Audio Tracking cannot be done on an iPad. Get yourself a copy of Audiobus, and start discovering the hundreds of fantastic value Audio tools available to you for a tenth of what you would pay for the Desktop Counterparts...

An incredible surprise
AudioStretch is great for working out chords for songs. The keyboard at the top is indispensable. A great find!
Great for language learning
Lets you slow down audio and scrub it. Perfect for learning speech in another language.
Best music App in its class
Use it constantly to learn new vocal harmonies and retune and change speed of MP3 or wav. for performance.
