IAA doesn’t work
According to the blog-manual article back in 2018…
“By supporting Inter-App Audio and Audiobus, I think you can use it in a variety of ways, such as adding effects and recording with another app, as well as volume adjustment.”
This is wanted to do, but while audio files play ok in standalone mode, playback immediately stops and gets stuck when adding PlaySections to AUM / Audiobus / apeMatrix / etc. as an IAA generator.
Old and new iOS devices exhibit same result.
A shame, as there are a gazillion practice section-loopers on the App Store, but only ONE advertises IAA support, which gives it unique uses outside of the common “practice” use-case, and that’s why I chose this one.
Will change my rating if this gets fixed.

Nailed it!
Just the right amount of simplicity and sophistication. Better than the alternatives of which are few.
Love this app, and reporting a small bug.
Hello!
I absolutely love the app that you’ve built. Thanks so much for the work you’ve put into it.
I’m writing to report a bug ! There’s also a temporary fix for users who are having trouble switching between sections when the “loop one” button is pressed.
I’m using a video that I’ve loaded from my local folders , it’s one that I recorded on my phone. I’m also using an iPhone 12 pro. iOS 18.7.1
The bug is related to playback when looping a single section of a video. I’m experiencing a problem where if the ‘loop one button’ is pressed, it will not switch between sections of the song. If I disable the ‘loop one button’ and tell it to play the entire song through, then it will successfully switch sections and then I can reenable the ‘loop one button’ once inside the new section.
It would be really nice to fix this bug because it would make it 1 click to switch between sections that loop instead of 4 clicks. It also took me some time to understand the problem and I thought that the app just wasn’t working properly.
I took a screen capture video to show you the problem and sent that to the apps Facebook account on messenger.
You will notice that even when the “loop one button” is pressed, this song continues to play through the end of that section. Which is unexpected behavior.

Best of it’s kind
Have been using this app for years. Beautifully simplistic yet highly functional. Doesn’t seem widely known yet, but it should be. Excellent way to organize video/audio content, partition and label user-defined sections within a video (the outstanding and unique part of this app), loop, slow/speed various content across multiple platforms. Importantly, this works with YouTube and offers much more functionality than the native YouTube app. Would love if future iterations had: 1. Ability to cross sync custom bookmarks between devices (e.g. sync bookmarks between iPhone/iPad). 2. Magnify/zoom in on an image (eg like a fretboard).

It just works
I needed an app to loop sections of a song. This does exactly that. I don’t know why apple music doesn’t work, but I am able to use it with youtube with no issues.
Exactly What I Needed!
I have tried many other apps for what I thought was a simple need; to easily access, segment and repeat clips of songs (both from my Apple streaming library and YouTube). This app does it perfectly! At first I could not import YouTube shorts but found a solution by replacing /shorts/ with /watch?v= in the import prompt

便利
区切った範囲をループする為に使っています。
機能面を気に入っても、デザインが好みでなければ使いたくなくなってしまうので自分は本当に助かっています。ありがとうございます。
ただ、改善済みのはずのEQが機能していないようです。
私の環境の問題でしょうか？iPadOSは16台〜17.4.1その間変化なし。

神アプリ
iOSでmp4をここまでシームレスに再生できるアプリはこれしかないと思う。4K60fpsでも問題なく動作します。
Perfect for Learning Dance Movements
I am using this app to learn new and more complex moves for Xtreme Hip Hop w/ Phil — which is a type of aerobic exercise with steps. It's really fun & now I can get better faster and easier with the help of this app. Thank you to the developer!
ver4.3.1にアプデするもEQ効かず…
数ヶ月前からEQが効きません。本日アップデートしましたがやはりダメでした。
iOS15.7.8を使用しているのですが、対象外なのでしょうか…？

Version 4.3.1にてEQが効かなくなった問題を修正しました。 レビューありがとうございます。任意のマーカー間でのループ機能の追加に関しては、Version 3.2.0にて対応しました。Version 4.1.0にて、Speed調整の+/-ボタンを使ってより細かく変更できるようにしました。メニューなどに隠れて操作できない場合には、横画面をお試しください。横画面時には、メニューなどは画面右側のみ表示されるようになっています。UIの改善については、引き続き検討します。
EQが効かない
EQに期待して購入したので残念です。

Great app. Request ZOOM IN and iCloud sync features.
This is an excellent way to loop and granularly study music instruction videos, like guitar. Feature requests: 1. Ability to pinch ZOOM IN on part of the image (eg a fretboard fingering). 2. iCloud sync so that any time/title edits would synchronize between different iOS devices. Thanks for considering!

Great app for looping clips from YouTube
Thrilled I found this app! I’m using it for learning a foreign language. You can import a YouTube video and add marks for looping sections, adjust the playback speed… it’s awesome. Really helpful for learning songs in a foreign language, as well practicing pronunciation and accent using shadowing & mimicking techniques. I tried a few other apps and this is the only one that actually works. Took a minute to understand the controls, but overall no complaints. Definitely recommend it for others who are learning a foreign language!

Great app!
Very pleased with this purchase. As for suggestions, it would have been helpful to have help in the app (but if you keep at it you can figure things out). Also, it would be nice if the looping setting could be remembered so you don't have to set it each time. Thanks for the great app!
とても使いやすい
リピート再生の調整がとてもしやすく、スロー再生と共にギターの練習に重宝しております。
可能であれば、再生スピードを0.5よりもスローな0.1に対応下さるとありがたいです。

The Best for YouTube Guitar Lessons
I’m giving this app 5 starts for a couple of reasons.
1. I have tried “Snippz”, “Tempo Slow Down”, and this app for slowing down YouTube guitar lessons. The other two have some good features and are even ahead of this one in some ways BUT they seem to have been left hanging by their developers. PlaySections on the other hand is actively being improved and has a super responsive developer (he’s even answered questions I’ve posted to his video on YouTube!)
2. This app works consistently well. When you open it up it scales well to the screen and you can get back to using it in moments.
3. I have high hopes that the developer will continue working on it and implement features such as pitch adjustment for YouTube videos so that when you slow them down you can tweak the pitch to accordingly. Another great feature that “Tempo Slow Down” has that this one doesn’t is a trainer feature that programmatically increases speed of a section so that when you are learning a song, it will challenge you to progressively speed up. Typically, you have to do that manually. Would LOVE to see it in this app and would pay for it.
I guess that wraps this review up. I will stick with PlaySections because the developer cares about his product.

Good Idea
This is a great app for learning music, dance, languages and more from videos and tutorials

Thanks for your great review! Since version 4.0.0, you can import videos from YouTube as well. Enjoy!
音源の並びがずれる
ネットから落とした音源zipをEasy zipで解凍してそれを読み込むと、順番がめちゃめちゃになってしまう。
Response from developer
複数ファイルをまとめて読み込む際、ファイル名で並べ換えてから読み込むようにしました。iOSの仕様上、選択した順番、表示順では読み込めません。
