At first i can use the back arrow and forward arrow to go to the next track and the playlist and now that function doesn’t work I tried everything updates my brand new max, update the app, uninstall, etc. Really way more convenient when the arrow key function was working you don’t have to click the next button to change the track **Developer response:** Sebe4Christ, this is the kind of review we actually sit down and read twice — thank you for being so specific and so kind at the same time. Do us a favor: grab the newest version we just put up on the App Store and see how things feel from there. And if anything's still not right, our team at support@loopsbycdub.zendesk.com would love to work through it with you personally. — Team CDub ### 4/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-08* Whatever update this was this go round was not a good one. I had to log out and log back in and then every one of my playlists as a results. Now it takes forever to come up because it’s “fetching”. And now my iPad doesn’t like the update. It also said I needed to subscribe when I know my subscription was up to date so I’m out $21 which I am definitely not happy about. Will have to find another alternative if I can’t get it to work. On the bright sise, this was still a brilliant move. **Developer response:** CPompey76, we appreciate you keeping it real with us — and even finding a bright side. We just pushed a brand-new update to the App Store, and we'd really like you on it — it's a big step up from what you were experiencing. Then email us at support@loopsbycdub.zendesk.com — bring the subscription question with you, and we'll take care of you one-on-one. — The CDub Team ### 4/5 — Concerns about the latest Updates *2026-08-01* So in general, I’m really enjoying this app and it’s helped ministering to be more smooth for our team. But I’ve notice for the past month or so that I have to long into the app EVERYTIME that I get to use it, and it has become a little inconvenient. When I have to sign back in, it takes a minimum of 1 1/2 minutes to reload all the songs on the app, and then when I go to the sets that I have put in a few days before in preparation for services. The presets are gone, so I’m having to scramble to look for these tracks again, including the ones that I had to sub out for something else so I’m at a loss. Is there a way to keep the app up with me finding like it was before and not delete everything that I worked so hard to preset? Thanks in advance for the help! **Developer response:** Sheeba, knowing Loops helps your ministry flow smoother is exactly why we do this — thank you for taking the time to write. There's a fresh update waiting for you on the App Store as of this week; go ahead and grab that latest version. Anything else on your mind after that, support@loopsbycdub.zendesk.com comes straight to us — we'd love to hear from you. — Team CDub ### 3/5 — Used to be good *2026-07-26, version 5.2.1* Used to be a good app. But now it’s super buggy. I have to sign in every time I use my phone for anything else. Then the loops have to all individually “fetch” and load after signing in takes a long time. Then the playlists u created goes away. And also if u look for a loop then actually find one after previewing it or downloading it takes u to another screen as if u never searched at all. ### 4/5 — Keep Freezing and Have to keep re-logging in *2026-07-23, version 5.2.1* I like the app but I’ve had nothing but constant freezing issues and having to continue signing in ### 4/5 — It could be better *2026-04-02, version 5.0.6* I like this app but I’m a quartet musicians at heart and there’s not a lot options when it comes to finding them “drives” with that quartet feel, I also think they could’ve done better with the snare sounds on them shout bumps, they sound like a country music type snares lol ijs other then that I love this app ### 3/5 — Love it…Buutt *2026-03-14, version 5.0.6* I love using the app for the loops. I even enjoy the feature where I can add my own loops. However, there’s only 15 slots and the delete button doesn’t let you delete ones you don’t want anymore. ### 4/5 — Love It But.. *2026-03-11* I absolutely love this app! Total game changer for any music ministry. However, I strongly dislike the update. First, this strange glitch occurs every single week I use it where I'll click on a loop and it opens up into another window and it just says “UNKNOWN” in caps and nothing works. No sound no nothing. I have to effectively exit the app and go back in to get it to play. This never happened before the update. Also it doesn't allow you to play the loops on the screen where you can actually see all of your other loops, it confines you in this new window because of some new features but you can't back out and search for a another click while you're playing one. It's just an unnecessary limitation. And finally it keeps kicking me every single week it's telling me to “subscribe” and I'm definitely subscribed lol but it keeps kicking me out. On a Sunday morning when I need to my playlist asap and the band is looking at me fiddling with my Phone because I had to log back in or exit the app and them scroll to find the right track. We knows as musicians 5 seconds of awkward silence feels like an eternity. To me this is not acceptable, esecpsilly at 20$ a month. Love the app but it needs another revision, it could be so much better! **Developer response:** Hi OZzo77, Thank you so much for the kind words and the 4 stars — we're glad Loops has been a game changer for your music ministry! We also really appreciate you taking the time to share these issues. Your feedback helps us improve. We want to address each point you raised: 1) The "UNKNOWN" glitch — Our development team actually identified this bug recently, and a fix has already been completed and is included in the next update. We're also doing additional testing to make sure it's fully resolved across all players. 2) Browsing while a loop plays — We hear you on wanting to browse other loops while one is playing. That's not currently a feature in Loops, but we understand why it would be useful — especially on a Sunday morning when time is tight. We'll pass this along to the team as a feature request. 3) Subscription prompt — We're sorry about the frustration with being asked to re-subscribe when you're already a subscriber. Our team is actively investigating this, and we've escalated it to our developer to get it resolved. For any additional questions or issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us through the Support tab within the app, or email us directly at support@loopsbycdub.zendesk.com. That way we can assist you much faster and work through any issues together. Thanks for sticking with us — we're committed to making Loops the best it can be! — The C Dub Team ### 3/5 — New Update Bugs *2025-12-31, version 5.0.1* I love the fact that landscape mode is available with the new update, but before when making a playlist, when you set the bpm, it saved. But now it won’t. It goes back to the original. ### 4/5 — Please update *2025-12-30, version 5.0.1* The new look is weird and i’m not able to use my keyboard space bare or arrows to press play or navigate tracks ### 4/5 — Please update *2025-12-18, version 4.1.13* It’s a great product for running tracks but my only issue is that it always randomly signs me out and I have to resign in and most of the time i have to do it over and over just for it to work. Please allow it to keep us signed in ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2025-09-08* Having hundreds, if not thousands of different loops at your fingertips is awesome. Especially if you get bored using the same 20 loops you already have. That being said this app needs serious improvement. It’s as if the developer started with something good but then stopped paying attention to it. The biggest oversight I see with this app is not having even a tiny bit of midi control. It would be fairly simple to incorporate this. There needs to be a way for you to be able to see the time signature beside the loops so you can quickly identify without having to load up each and every loop to see what time signature it is. It would be even better for the developer to create separate pages for each time signature so you can search through a whole page of the loops you’re looking for with the same time signature. You also need to be able to set how long the queue option counts before it brings in the next loop. As it stands, it’s not very great how well it queues up. All in all definitely not worth paying $20 a month for maybe $10 a month. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. We truly appreciate you recognizing the value of having a wide variety of loops at your fingertips, and we’re grateful that you’re using Loops by C-Dub to support your creativity. You also brought up some very valid points, and I want you to know that we’re listening. MIDI control, clearer time-signature visibility, time-signature filtering, and enhancements to the queue system are all excellent suggestions. These kinds of insights help us continue improving the app, and several of the features you mentioned are already on our development roadmap. Our goal is to make Loops by C-Dub the most powerful and enjoyable tool possible for musicians, and feedback like yours helps guide that process. We’ll keep working to make sure the app grows with your needs and delivers the value you’re expecting. If you ever have additional ideas or would like to share more feedback directly, feel free to reach out anytime—we’d love to hear from you. Thanks again for helping us make the app better for everyone! ### 3/5 — Good app, way too expensive for what you get *2025-03-02, version 4.1.11* I think that the average person will only use around 3-5 of the loops + a lot of genres are missing (Latin percussion) to justify such this price. -I think that I would happily pay $20 a month if it that was addressed and if it had a PADS feature. $20 dollars a month just isn’t worth it at the moment. -Wish there were different tiers that could allow you to pay less according to you needs. ### 3/5 — Great app, just so many bugs *2025-01-19* I’ve been using the app consistently in every church service for a few years now. I have a subscription that renews monthly, but for some reason it continuously “signs me out” on its own. I can have the app open and be creating set lists, ect. Then it will send me to the sign in page. Sometimes it’ll let me sign in, but tomes like today, it wont’t, no matter how much I try. This has happened right before church as well, which is quite frustrating. This needs resolving soon. Gonna have to find a more reliable system soon if not. Other than this issue, I love the app, just wish it’d do landscape and portrait mode, and be able to customize loop names in the playlist side.🤷‍♂️ ### 3/5 — Cloud Sync doesn’t work *2024-11-17, version 4.1.11* Paid subscription. Loops won’t sync on other Apple devices. Admin is unresponsive. ### 2/5 — Issues *2024-11-10, version 4.1.11* App is freezing on multiple devices and the fade takes a long time to kick in. ### 2/5 — Unhappy *2024-10-30, version 4.1.11* When plugging in through my interface at church the sound does not play, I checked with all other apps and they are fine, tried to contact CDub point of contact not able to as it just stands still when pressed, not a happy customer at the present! ### 3/5 — Disadvantage *2024-10-16, version 4.1.9* I love loops by CDub! Its definitely a quick go to reference, however if I’m using the app via my computer, I can’t connect it to my Scarlett Im only able to use the app via the headphone jack and would rather run it thru Scarlett especially if I’m using it in addition to stems or a another device. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App is freezing when I click my playlist *2026-07-24, version 5.2.1* App has become useless the last 2 weeks. I have to force close it when I click on my playlist the app freezes. I will have to cancel next week if it continues not to work. ### 1/5 — It’s fine…when it works. *2026-05-23, version 5.0.6* Tried logging out of appleID, syncing, clearing cache, and even restarting my device. If I can’t get it to work for me at home, why would I trust it on Sunday? ### 1/5 — Not worth the price *2026-01-03* I been using this app for years, there’s been a few problems with the app but lately they did an update to the app to give it a new look, but that update cleared all my playlists and wouldn’t let me log in to use the app. It kept saying subscribe even though I already paid the $19,00 for the month. Thank God I got my refund back through Apple. I even tried emailing this app support and they didn’t respond until 5 days later with no solution. I ended up downloading XME Loops which is only $9.00 a month and has way more loops. I won’t be coming back to this app again. ### 1/5 — trash *2025-09-29, version 4.1.13* trash ### 1/5 — Great app, just so many bugs *2025-03-29* I’ve been using the app consistently in every church service for a few years now. I have a subscription that renews monthly, but for some reason it continuously “signs me out” on its own. I can have the app open and be creating set lists, ect. Then it will send me to the sign in page. Sometimes it’ll let me sign in, but times like today, it won’t, no matter how much I try. This has happened right before church as well, which is quite frustrating. No sense in paying for an app that no one responds to your issues or requests and a common issue is never resolved🤷‍♂️. This needs resolving soon. Gonna have to find a more reliable system soon if not. ### 1/5 — mid-app *2023-11-21, version 1.0* no good you get more with xme for half the price ### 1/5 — Loops *2023-05-06, version 4.1.1* I feel that if I you say that it is free to Download it should have all of the loops and the loops that I are free no one uses those and they are very laggy and do not serve the purpose that is should I feel y’all think only grown people use this but I am a kid and I think it should have all loops for free at least add some to the free ones that are really good and not laggy but until then 1 to 2 stars ### 1/5 — No free loops?1? *2022-10-29, version 4.0.5* Cdub, I want free loops and this app isn’t the right place for that ### 1/5 — App unusable *2022-10-15, version 4.0.5* The app worked great for a while then the latest update lost access to available loops. Do not the free loops not exist anymore? Also is there a way to buy individual loops instead of the sub model? ### 1/5 — Apps crashes constantly *2022-07-26, version 4.0.4* This app crashes all the time . I’m beginning to hate it and I’m going to cancel as soon as I find another program . It’s awful . ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Developer Keeps Adapting *2025-12-20, version 4.1.13* The fact that I’ve been using this app for about 9 years, proves that it does what it needs to do. And the developers keep making it better! ### 5/5 — Love it. a few suggestions *2025-11-21* I’ve really been enjoying using Loops by CDub. It’s become a regular part of my workflow, and as a blind user, I truly appreciate that the app is accessible on iOS with VoiceOver. I don’t take that lightly at all. Being able to navigate through loops, playlists, and controls without having to rely on sighted assistance means a lot, and it’s been a real pleasure working with the team and contributing feedback around accessibility. I would genuinely love to continue helping as the app grows. When I first open the app, I keep getting a pop up asking me to sign in to my account every single time. Even though I am using the same device, it doesn’t seem to remember me. Because of this, my loops and playlists take much longer to load. Once I sign in, I have to wait for everything to sync again before I can really get started. It would make a big difference if the app could stay signed in or have an option to remember my login so it opens ready to go. The other major issue has been the loop import process. I am not sure if there is a limit to how many loops I can import, but it feels like I run into some kind of ceiling after a while. Sometimes when I import loops, they do not show up in my library at all. I will refresh the app, and then it freezes or becomes unresponsive. At that point, the only fix I have found is deleting the app and reinstalling it. After reinstalling and signing back in, the loops finally appear, which tells me they were there but just not loading correctly. On top of that, sometimes loops do not loop smoothly. This happens with both loops that I import and loops that already come with the app. I make sure my imported loops are set up correctly on my end in my DAW, with clean start and end points and proper tempos, but I still experience issues. Sometimes they stutter, sometimes they drift, and sometimes they just do not loop seamlessly. Since this also happens with the built in loops, I do not think it is only something on my end. Even with these problems, I still really enjoy the app and I see a lot of potential in it. I think with improvements to the login system, better stability during loop importing, and more consistent loop playback, Loops by CDub could be even stronger for both blind and sighted users. ### 5/5 — Best App for musicians *2025-11-18, version 4.1.13* This app enhances my sessions on the stage and in my production. It has saved me countless hours of creating loops. There’s no better app like the CD Brand🔥🔥🔥 ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2025-10-28, version 4.1.13* This application is highly beneficial for pianists who lack drummers. I appreciate the app greatly and recommend it to every musician I encounter. ### 5/5 — App is acting crazy *2025-08-09* I normally don’t have too much to say about this app but I’m the past week it’s been acting crazy. Not searching songs I’m looking for. I can’t leave a message with the support feature either. I finally deleted it from my phone and reinstalled it. Which of course erased all my playlist already created…that really was disappointing. I’ve been using this app since it came out. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-04-10, version 4.1.9* Game changer. I play keys, and use these loops weekly at church for service as well as rehearsals. ### 5/5 — Loops By C-Dub *2024-12-04, version 4.1.11* Love them Dub . ### 5/5 — loops by cdub *2024-08-24, version 4.1.9* this app has helped me in rehearsals and sunday morning services ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-08-13, version 4.1.8* It’s the best thing since sliced bread!!!!!…. ### 5/5 — Awesome loops *2024-03-15, version 4.1.4* C-Dub Thank you for your gift from God it helps me in my music playing now I reach my goal in playing in all 12 keys love key of E and A so much fun now to play with your loop’s thanks!🎼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
