Works but kidnapped my original music
It automatically kidnapped my original music I downloaded from my site.. then only gave a 30 second demo of each 😡
Works OK.
The very first thing I look for before downloading a new app is the app privacy. If it doesn’t show “Data Not Collected” then I’m much less likely to give it a serious look. Amazing Slow Downer passes the Data Privacy test so on that score it gets 10 out of 5.
I have other slow downer type apps as well but I’m looking to be able to recommend apps to my students. The difficulty I have with this app is that I don’t use Apple Music. I just do it the old fashioned way - buying individual songs. But I can’t seem to use Amazing Slow Downer with the selection of songs I have in iTunes. It seems limited to the online Apple Music and I find that puzzling.

Spotify NOT supported
Unfortunately Apple Music only supported
Finger Picking
Such a great tool for listening accurately.
Terrible
Does not work with Spotify. Spent half an hour trying to pull any song I have for Apple Music to slow down. Nothing worked. Terrible app
Excellent app for transcribing.
I have been using this app for years. I have the full version but it’s still the lite app with unlocked features. Overall an excellent app. It does exactly what you want it to do. Fine tune looping of sections of music, pitch shift and slow down feature, plus lots more.
The one thing I find annoying is that there is no auto lock over ride feature. I have to disable auto lock every time so that I don’t have to keep unlocking my phone after a minute. If this can be fixed in an update, then it’s worth 5 stars.

Look here: Amazing Slow Downer Any file selection view Settings Other Settings Allow Sleep -> OFF
Already paid
Hello guys, I’ve already paid for the full version very long time ago but the icon remained as “ASD lite”. The app was functioning properly as a full version either in the iPhone and in the iPad. Then the iPhone cancelled it because I haven't used it for a long time, now I downloaded it back and it’s working as the lite version. Could you please help me? Thanks

No Longer Works w/Spotify
It used to be great, but it no longer updates or has compatibility with Spotify.
Horrible app
This is just in general terrible, I’m trying to memorize an audio and it doesn’t let me listen to the full thing. I put in a 12 second video and it only let me do 2 seconds worth, I gave this five stars so it would be seen, don’t waste your storage on this. And the version that costs money is just in general, way too expensive. I have had so many problems with this app, I tried to import a full minute audio and it only let me listen to the first 12 seconds. I have no idea how to fix this and the only way is most likely to buy the overly expensive app, I do not recommend, thanks for reading.

Response from developer
As written on the App Store: "This free lite version is restricted to play the first quarter of an audio file". The paid version of course doesn't have this limitation.
Why buy?
So apparently you cant use this with spotify and I read a couple of comments saying it wont work properly with iTunes either. So whats the point of this app again? The description helps nothing
Junk
Overrated and overpriced pro version of app!!! You are seriously greedy.
REVIEW and requests
I’ve used ASD for over five years as a professional drum teacher. There are pros and cons and I hope the developer reads this.
The good: easy to use and load, very stable for me on iPad/ iPhone and the algorithm has shockingly high quality playback with minimal artifacts. I appreciate being able to create and save loops (more on that later). Big buttons are nice on the fly. Integration with iTunes library makes life easy to organize.
I appreciate that the cost is upfront and not a subscription service. Although I’d be happy to pay for additional features (see cons below).
It does what it says- slows songs down, and changes pitch, and does it very well.
The cons/ requests:
Obviously having to both buy the MP3’s and subscribe to Apple Music is expensive but I don’t blame the developer for that, it’s part of my cost of doing business.
As of right now in ASD you have to + or - your loop ends by a preset amount and use your ear to get it right. it’s pretty time consuming and old school. It would be nice to have the loop feature be able to drop on beat (the quarter note or eighth note, etc). This would require a background beat grid analysis of the file. I strongly encourage the developer to check out DJ apps and use their ideas of how to quickly make and store seamless loops. This is not new technology.
It would be more than nice to have a row of buttons across the control panel to call up loops without having to go down into the dialogue box which is kinda awkward and time consuming. You could set your loop points, hold down one of the buttons and it automatically saves, and in the future recalls that loop with a touch. Again check out other DJ programs.
Another needed feature, which has been well documented in these reviews, is (+) and (-) buttons on the speed and pitch sliders to incrementally adjust. My fat fingers are always sliding above and bellow my needed speed until I get it just right. Please add these.
Simple ergonomics request- Having a bit larger buttons on the speed and volume sliders would be nice. Often my fingers over-shoot when working on the fly.
Fantasy wish- If you check out the DJ software Serato, they have implemented a “stems” feature where you can isolate drums, vocals, etc. This would be a major league feature for AMS. Imagine being able to quickly isolate the drum tracks, create a quick loop on beat, then save it w/ a single tap. This is probably way more than AMS could afford to implement but it would blow minds. We can dream…
Many students ask me what app they should use and while I ALWAYS mention ASD I don’t rave about it and often I recommend using YouTube’s slow down feature (on laptop not phone or tablet) for simple slowing down. But if ASD implemented some of the features I addressed above that would tip me into the raving review category. Thanks for reading and thanks ASD for the app I use every day!

Question:
This is the Light version. Is there a full fledged version?
File management poor
Something as simple as moving a recording into a created folder is impossible,
Pass
Anytune costs the same and is a far superior tool.
Con apple music se puede cambiar el tono?
Con Apple Music se puede cambiar el tono y la velocidad?

Useless in 2023
Does NOT work with Spotify OR Apple Music. Useless in 2023. my understanding is the full version is also not compatible with either one. this was a great app in the past when it actually worked with what we all use. I can’t imagine very many people still use this app anymore though since they decided to become irrelevant.

Not good
Only plays the first 18 seconds of a song in a loop, pointless really
Música de Spotify
Acabo de abrir y me encuentro que Ya no tiene opción de jalar música desde Spotify!!!! Lo volverán a poner disponible ???????
Useless now!!
I used to love this app!! I loved it so much I paid $16 for the full version….but I haven’t used the app in a couple years because I got out of playing music for a while. I come back to the app and you can no longer play music from Spotify!! I feel like I should get my $16 back!!
