### 2/5 — 最大曲数って有るのかな？

*2025-09-19, version 7.7.2*

ファイル数が500を超えるアルバム(語学系)で、全てのファイルを指定したら320ファイルまでしか分析されず、挙動不審になった

### 2/5 — 読み込みが遅過ぎて使い物にならない

*2025-05-29, version 7.7.2*

Repete Plusも所有しているが、ファイルの読み込みが遅く、使いものにならない。
昔から遅かったが、最近さらに遅くなった。
曲を選択しても、聴けるようになるまで1分近くかかり、実用的でない
—————
アプリのオーナーから「対応した」とのご連絡を頂いた。すぐにレスポンスがあり有難い話だが、残念ながら読み込み時間等は変わっていない。アプリの根源的な構造の問題なのかも知れない

### 4/5 — 改善のお願い

*2025-03-21, version 7.5*

フォルダ作成機能はiPhoneのファイルアプリに任せるとして、例えばチャプター毎に読み込んで学習する時に、終了したチャプターを消去することができると使い易いのでご検討頂きたい。

### 4/5 — Speater からの移行者ですが，お勧めです

*2023-09-21, version 7.4.4*

今まで Speater を愛用していたのですが，とうとう iOS/iPad OS で使えなくなりました．その代替として Repete を使い始めました．

Speater と違って再生中に動画を見れないので，字幕ありのTED 講演の音声を字幕を身ながら繰り返し聴く事はできなくなりましたが，追唱支援ツールをして割切るなら，十分に使えます．

音源ファイルを iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive から選べるのは，とても良い．これは Speater よりすぐれています．

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2023-02-06, version 7.3.7*

有りそうでなく。皆、手軽に使えるものが欲しいと思っていても、見つからない。それを実現してくれたappです。使い手の声に真摯に向き合い完成したものと思います。有難うございました。

### 5/5 — とても便利です！

*2023-02-02, version 7.3.7*

いままで、語学学習のために様々な音楽再生アプリを探してきましたが、このアプリが一番便利でした。おかげで、勉強がはかどっています。

### 5/5 — 英語学習におすすめ

*2022-01-28, version 7.2.1*

再生速度や繰り返し回数など自由に設定できるのでシャドーイングやリピーティングなど区間リピートかなり便利で使いやすいです。Dropboxも対応しているのでいろいろな音源にも使えてかなり重宝してます。

### 4/5 — オーディオブックの扱いは？

*2022-01-12, version 7.2*

アップルのオーディオブックに保存した音声の再生は可能ですか？

### 5/5 — Good good

*2020-12-13, version 6.8*

This is a very useful app for preparing PTE test. It would be better if it can show lyrics (I’m willing to pay for this function). Thanks a lot!!!

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい！

*2020-11-29, version 6.8*

音読パッケージの教材作りの時間がなくなりました！
