What's New in Practice Player

3.1.0

October 21, 2026

Move your practice points. Long-press a point, choose Move, then drag it to a new time or nudge it by a tenth of a second or a full second. Start and end points move too. Move a point: Until now a point stayed where you first tapped it. Now you can put it exactly where the phrase starts. Long-press any point in the list and choose Move. The slider thumb jumps to that point, and you drag it to the new time. For small corrections, the −1s, −0.1s, +0.1s and +1s buttons move it by an exact amount, and Reset returns it to where it was. While you move it, the point's row slides to its new place in the list, so you can see where it will land. Tap Write to keep the change, or Cancel to leave everything as it was. Hear the song while you move: Tap the speaker button while you move a point, and the song plays in short bursts that follow your finger. When you let go, you hear one second of the song from the new time, so you know you placed it right. The preview plays at your practice speed. For Apple Music songs, the preview plays after you let go. Move the loop itself: The start and end points move the same way. Drag the start point and the loop's range follows it. Drag the end point past the start point and the two swap places. On the delete screen, you can move a point as well: long-press it and choose Move Point, or select one point and tap the Move button. Also in this update: • A What's New card like this one opens after an update, so you never miss a new feature • A point's time now shows the exact tenth of a second • The Move Point command is translated in every language Fixes: • Two points can no longer share the same time • Setting a new start or end point keeps the points you have selected to delete • Deleting a start or end point together with its neighbour keeps your loop intact Join us at r/PracticePlayer for tips, questions and ideas.

User reviews

A wonderful app!!

This is perfect for practicing repetition and/or practicing a piece of a song. I’ve been enjoying it for a couple of years now. I couldn’t do without Practice Player! I absolutely love it!!

Response from developer

Hey there WA9T thanks for using practice player!

player issues

having playback issues

Really great app!

I think this app is pretty fantastic and has a great set of features, and is a lot better than other similar apps when trying to playback songs. I highly recommend this app and think it’s of really good value for musicians starting out in their career. The only reason I don’t rate it 5 stars yet is that there are a few very minor bugs at this moment, but other than that I think this is such an essential tool that should be in just about anyone’s app library who is serious about getting better at an instrument.

Hey there J001enlt, thanks for using Practice Player! Which bugs are you seeing? Send them through the Send Feedback link in the menu and I'll take a look.

It helps a lot

A great tool to learn music. Select the parts you want to train and repeat them until the end of the world (or you finally learn). The method for choosing and including songs is a little tricky, but works.

Hey there Marlo, thanks for using Practice Player! What was tricky about adding songs? Let me know through the Send Feedback link in the menu and I'll take a look.

Bugs

Great app but unfortunately saving backups wont work. Whatever I choose iCloud nor on device. It just jumps back to the saving window.

Response from developer

Hey there medenaii, this was an iOS 18 bug and we’ve added a workaround. Thanks for using Practice Player
