### 5/5 — 好用的App

*2026-07-16*

用过几个复读机App这个是相对顺手好用的App

**Developer response:** 感谢认可！看到您说“顺手好用”特别开心，这正是我们设计时最在意的事情。如果后续有任何使用建议，随时欢迎反馈，祝学习愉快！

### 5/5 — 简单好用

*2026-01-24*

这是用着最顺手的app。

### 5/5 — 超级方便

*2022-08-28*

ipad也适配，很好用，有小时候步步X的味道了

### 3/5 — Insert lyrics is more complex than before

*2018-08-05*

Also, problems with playing a folder... it always repeat 1 mp3 no matter what I changed..0,1,-1

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2017-02-04*

To add your own MP3 files, use i-Tunes to transfer or the 'Open In' feature from another program. This program is quite useful in that it allows you to segment several A-B selections of audio and repeat them over and over. I use it for memorizing passages but it can also be helpful for language learning.  It is similar to the (复读机) Repeat Sound players sold for language learning in China.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2015-08-01, version 3.0.1*

Has different speed of playing and also can have the following read record option,also the A-B loop replay is really good!! Very good for study a new language!! I hope to have 
1.the 'swipe to go back 'option
2.have folder option(one folder is like a book and you have several audio in one book)
3.maybe also other type of file transfer method

Anyway I have used this app for 4 years, really small and simple but powerful app!! Good work! Thanks

For this new version, the playback time choice, can you please change choosing different seconds only in the setting function, rather than every time I try to playback, I have to chose how many seconds, than is very slow..

### 1/5 — NEVER DOWNLOAD IT

*2015-03-20, version 1.1.1*

It's the worst, never download it.

### 1/5 — Terrible do not buy

*2014-03-13*

Waste of money. It doesn't do what it claims and it won't let you repeat your own recording back over and over

### 5/5 — 新功能建议

*2012-08-24*

新功能建议：
1. 双击耳机的+键，跳转到下一个复读区间。若已经是最后一个区间，跳转到下一首音乐。
2. 双击耳机的-键，跳转到上一个复读区间。若已经是第一个区间，跳转到上一首音乐。

### 4/5 — 做的不错，比我之前用的都好！

*2012-07-02*

但是有一个问题。单行字数多的话，后面字体都不见了。需要做个自动换行。
