### 4/5 — My biggest complaint.

*2026-03-26, version 7.0.0*

Please tell Apple to stop using your app to solicit subscriptions for their Apple Music! I am so tired of having to decline Apple’s invitation to join their music service every time I go to load a new song from my music library into AMSD that I’m taking time now to tell you how much I hate it!

### 3/5 — Replay doesnt end at right spot

*2025-12-24, version 7.0.0*

The app is useful but man is it a bummer that the replay doesn’t end exactly where you set it. It seems like the replay bar is long enough for the actual time stamp I’ve set for the end, but it stops a bit short, which isn’t great when you really want a very specific section. Feels a little crazy that it’s not exact when I spent like $15 on this.

### 3/5 — Mise à jour attendue

*2025-11-29*

Appli très utile pour les musiciens. Mais je trouve la gestion des fichiers vraiment galère : l’endroit où les songs sont importées (c’est selon) et le nombre de clicks pour déplacer des éléments me donne l’impression d’utiliser un OS daté de 10 ans

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2025-09-16, version 6.9.4*

Look, I don’t envy anyone trying to create an interface to do this. It’s hard. But these folks did a good job, once I put in the time to understand it, i’m so grateful I have it. An essential tool.

### 4/5 — Amazing indeed

*2025-08-06, version 6.9.3*

I love how the sound quality isn’t lost when slowing down and the pitch can be changed in very small increments to bring A to 440. I would absolutely love a numerical value on the volume, and to be able to tap the louder and quieter speaker icons to change the volume quickly.

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-06-20*

Cette app parait rien, et pourtant, elle est bien meilleure de anytune ou transcribe. Importatation à la volée, une interface simple, c'est parfait. Mettez la à jour, ne laissez pas tomber cette application please;

### 5/5 — Still the best musician’s app ever

*2025-06-20, version 6.9.2*

I’ve been using this for coming up to 15 years! And apart from Spotify pulling their support 😩 this is the best app ever to learn new songs😃, so much functionality. It’s so embedded in my tool box. Thank you so much Roni Music!

### 5/5 — Great Tool

*2025-06-09*

Schade, dass der Spotify Support nicht mehr geht. Liegt aber an Spotify nicht an dieser App. Habe schon lange überlegt, mich von Spotify zu trennen. Vielleicht ist das jetzt der Trigger?
Amazing Slow Down ist ein super Tool fürs Gehörtraining

### 4/5 — So helpful!

*2025-06-07, version 6.9.2*

This app is very helpful to practice with, particularly when learning a new tune. You can slow it down without losing the pitch. The looping is also very handy. I wish I could insert a photo of my past notes/solos/lyrics into the Notes section.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!

*2025-06-02, version 6.9.2*

This app is amazing - you can slow down Apple Music songs!! Perfect to support transcribing guitar lines - even on crackly old records. Keeps the pitch - you can loop those tricky parts until you nail them. Easy to use too. Worth every penny - great job!!

### 5/5 — Just What I needed

*2025-05-17, version 6.9.2*

I’ve used ASD on and off for many years. Not a crazy amount of things is does, but what it does do is perfect.  Thanks for this app!

### 5/5 — Works as advertised.

*2025-05-11, version 6.9.2*

Works as advertised. I would like better instructions, but once you figure it out, it’s nice to not have advertisements constantly barraging you.

### 5/5 — The Best app

*2025-05-03*

This is an Amazing app

### 5/5 — The longest serving app for this musician

*2025-04-24, version 6.9.2*

I’ve had ASD on my phones and iPads for many years now. I have always learned best by ear and this is the correct tool for doing just that.  I play banjo, guitar and harmonica.

### 5/5 — Excellent learning tool, excellent technical support

*2025-04-17, version 6.9.2*

This is my go-to when learning new music. During a recent case of me being dumb, the developer responded to my question quickly, and went above, and beyond to help me find a solution.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-03-13, version 6.9.2*

I’ve used this for years. My favorite use is making a recording of a piece a student is working on then exporting it at different tempi.

### 1/5 — Isn’t working

*2026-08-11, version 7.0.0*

I subscribed and downloaded the app. It is not functioning properly in terms of setting up loops.

### 1/5 — No longer useful

*2026-06-02, version 7.0.0*

I used to be able to learn songs in different keys for artists that would change the key due to illness or stress. Now I can’t do that. First you dropped Spotify, and made us use Apple. I spent thousands of dollars buying songs in Apple over the years to be able to use this app and now Apple doesn’t work. But that’s ok. It’s a real shame this app is pretty much useless now.

### 1/5 — It dont work

*2025-12-16, version 7.0.0*

I must be dumb. Im terrible at learning anything especially musical instruments. But im trying to learn drums anyway via the internet. Thought id use this app to try to learn songs i listen to. Ok turns out it only works with Apple Music. I restart my apple music account so i can use the app, but i get error messages when trying to actually upload a song to then slow it down. 

Same thing happened with songsterr. I paid doe the premium option to upload music and then nothing happens when i follow the steps for doing that.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2025-05-01, version 6.9.2*

Sometimes the play button didn’t work and froze up. Closing and reopening seemed to solve it. However, when I recently updated my iOS on my iPhone to 18.4.1, ASD’s play button froze up again, only this time it remains frozen no matter what I do.  Perhaps ASD needs to update the software to work with iOS 18.4.1.  At this point, it seems to be a waste of purchase money, and I was so looking forward to using it.

### 1/5 — Only works with Apple Music

*2025-02-21, version 6.9.2*

Doesn’t work with any other streaming service

### 1/5 — 왜 피치조절이 안되나요?

*2025-01-18*

**Developer response:** Contact Apple App Store in your country and ask for a refund.

### 1/5 — Amazing slow downer

*2024-11-07, version 6.9.1*

Bought this app three days ago and when I open it, it just shows a blank screen. How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Cant access apple library

*2024-03-14, version 6.8.8*

App doesn’t work. Supportive even after Spotify removal, paid for songs through apple, and now the app just doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Can’t import any songs and no support

*2024-01-22, version 6.8.4*

Title says it all. Only thing it will link to is Apple Music and it is not supported

### 1/5 — No Spotify?!

*2023-09-29, version 6..8.3*

I used to use this app everyday! However, years ago they made the change to stop supporting Spotify and my friends and I have stopped using the app because we only use Spotify. 

It’s a shame because the app was super convenient but now is essentially an electronic paper weight to me. Please fix this :(

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-19, version 7.0.0*

I have been using this for many years, long before iPhones became into being. When it ported to phones I jumped right in! I used to drive commercially and I play Irish music. So learning the intricacies of what some of the greats are doing is much easier slowed down. I also don’t really read music so memorizing first is great. Hours in the truck. They’re play in Eb and you want D? No problem. I highly recommend this app. 
The only problem I just noticed, a new instrument and a teacher sent me an m4a file which it won’t import 😢

### 5/5 — Amazing Slowdowner

*2026-06-04, version 7.0.0*

A wonderful piece of software.  Well described in its notes. Works very well. I use it for nearly all my tune learning. Thanks 👍

### 5/5 — Good, but no Spotify?

*2026-06-01, version 7.0.0*

it has Apple Music integrated, can we please get Spotify as well? I’m sure years ago it had this unless I’m having a fever dream. Please, include Spotify integration!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2026-06-01, version 7.0.0*

Absolutely the best I’ve used. The preservation of sound quality, even at the extremes of the playback speeds, surpasses expensive software like Logic Pro. Well done!!! 🤗

### 5/5 — Props to the developer/s

*2026-05-20, version 7.0.0*

Props to the developers of this app. They clearly know what they’re doing. The wifi import feature is fantastic. Glad to see this app continuing to get updates even in apples tyrannical ecosystem <3

### 5/5 — Super App

*2026-04-29*

Super App, benutze ich seit Jahren! Ich bin Musiker und arrangiere oft Stücke - die App ist für mich ein Must-have. Beim Tempo Änderungen bleibt die Audioqualität hervorragend. Es gibt zahlreiche Einstellungsmöglichkeiten wie Startpunkt, Endpunkt, Loop und so weiter. Das Design ist zwar etwas veraltet, aber die App erfüllt zuverlässig ihren Zweck. Für macOS würde ich mir wünschen, dass das Fenster skalierbar ist und sich verkleinern lässt bei der Arbeit parallel mit einem Notationsprogramm ist der Platz oft sehr wichtig😊

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-04-20, version 7.0.0*

Great app for learning guitar, and outstanding customer service!

### 5/5 — Help with loops on iPhone - automatic skip

*2026-04-16, version 7.0.0*

This app is amazing ! Thank you for marking it. Can you please mar an update to automatically go to the next loop for iPhone . I want to use this in the car and I want ti be hands free

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-01-24, version 7.0.0*

Best rehearsal app ever, music, theatre, speeches, monologues. You can change speed without changing pitch, or changenpitch qithoit changing soeed or both. Create loop points and notes. Import and export.

### 5/5 — Where did it go?

*2025-11-11, version 6.9.6*

I love this app. I purchased it several years ago and have changed phones. I can’t find it on my current phone. Is it because it may have been an android and now I have an Apple? Please give it back? I miss it.
