The best!!
There is no app that is so well designed in simplicity and functionality. If you are a musician trying to figure out music by ear this is a great tool.
Awkward interface
I was struck by the feature list of what it can do in theory, such as save loops, but it’s too hard to use in practice. I’m only willing to put so much effort into wrestling with a funky interface before bailing on an app. In the end the perhaps overly inventive interface is just awkward, although cute as heck.
A deal-breaking negative is that the interface sits sideways on my iPad Pro - no beuno. I suppose I could sit the device sideways, but then you lose control over the viewing angle for the screen. Awkward.
PS: I note that across the board iOS apps continue to be markedly inferior to Mac apps in almost every instance - on the Mac the Amazing Slow Downer is infinitely superior to its dumbed down iOS version (which cannot save loops) and to Robick as well, of course.

Response from developer
Thank you for review. This application aims to be easy to use when operating many times. However, as you pointed out, the interface is not common, so it may be difficult to understand how to use it. By tapping the "i" icon in the lower right corner of the main screen you will see a simple operation method, so I hope this will help you. If you have any questions about how to use please feel free to contact support.
Nice app but needs some work
I’ve been searching for an app that allows me to scroll through music tracks in a way similar to the jog-wheel on an iPod to help me easily skip or repeat a section while I learn to play guitar.
This app looks great and allows me to use it as intended however I find that it crashes a lot when using the core functions despite having the latest OS and app version.
Hopefully it will be updated to address this issue soon or I will need to continue my search for a similar but more reliable app...

Best available
I use it for guitar and it’s fantastic for practicing. The ui is neat but can feel a little clunky moving around sometimes. Dislike having to import files from Dropbox as opposed to being able to read directly from iOS folders but perhaps that’s a limitation of iOS and not the app itself. Really wish you could have multiple start/stop slices for 1 song. Right now you can only have 1 but at least it remembers when you come back to song after switching to a different one so it’s not the end of the world. Good job by the developer

Thank you for review! You can save up to 3 repeat sections for each song. Tap the down arrow icon at the bottom right of the screen and tap the 1 to 3 icons to switch the repeat section. I will consider the function to import songs from iOS Files.
Priceless
The most useful app on my phone. Would love A UI refresh!
Does not work!
Does not work! Does not allow DRM protected files to be uploaded as it says.
Powerful and slick-looking, but difficult to use
This app has many of the features you would want in a slow-down audio player, but is very difficult to use because the interface is needlessly cryptic and user-hostile.
You will have to spend a lot of time searching for the features you need, but once you find them the app's functionality will start to shine through.

Absolute Top Class
Really surprised why this app doesn't show up in the top 50 apps in AppStore. Incredibly wonderful app. Love it to bits. Developers, please promote it as this has huge potential. I use it to slow tracks during guitar practice. Similar apps such as capo touch, anytune etc.. sell at a premium price!! This one is cheap in price + rich in functionality. Highly recommended. Probably the best for the price range on App Store; even beating apps set at above £10.

Awesome App!
In all the years I've been downloading apps, this is the first time I've decided to write a review because this app deserves it!
This app is perfect for slowing down songs to catch a riff, line or anything you want. You can even EQ the song so that the high lows or mids come up or down in the mix. The app looks great, you just touch, swipe or grab to change what you want (i.e tempo, song region etc.)
This app definitely deserves more stars, it's worth the price too!

The best app of this type by far
I've bought a few of these apps for slowing down etc music tracks and this is the best by a long way. It looks good but more importantly it's so incredibly easy to use. Skipping to different parts of the track is precise and slick and setting up a loop is so quick and easy to do, as is altering the tempo etc.
A very original and unique but simple to use user interface. Well done to the developer!
I've been using this for many years now and continue to be very satisfied with it.
I highly recommend this app.

Outstanding
This app in simply invaluable to anyone who needs to learn a song on guitar or bass, or vocals.
One of the best and most used apps I've used.
Love it. Would love a dedicated iPad version though.

Needs improvement!
It sounds decent, but it needs a major overhaul when it comes to iPod music access, needing to transfer tunes manually is just plain stupid.
Very good but would be even easier on iPad
Please can you port this over to the iPad as the larger screen would be a huge benefit in terms of adjusting the start and end positions of sections. This is quite fiddly on an iPhone sized screen. Still a great and very useful app for a musician learning a song.
Doesn't work
Just purchased this app. It crashes every time I try to load any songs or music tracks onto it. (The songs were not DRM protected.) No longer appears to be compatible with the latest version of iOS (6.1.2). All I'm able to play is their sample audio track. :(
Stunning
Professional opera singer. Fills a big gap in the iPod app. Learning music is so much more easy now I can scroll backwards and forwards simply and precisely. The odd bit of slow mo helps too!
Update: Still brilliant (used it since day 1) and the app has been consistently updated with new features. Very good developer indeed.

Great functionality and design!!
Takes something special for me to write a review, and this has it all! This app has a funky interface that is fully functional. As a harp player & learning percussionist I find this program indispensable for analysis of riffs; and imagine it would be the same for guitarists and other musicians. Easy to operate and all features work a treat!

Terrific
Nothing to add really for this great app except to say that I've been using it for over six months and it's proved to be great value. It really encourages you to use your ears to learn a piece, which many say is the best way.
Would love an iPad version please!

Wow!
So much for so cheap! This is a wonderful easy to use app for anyone wanting to play along to backing tracks, learn tunes or transcribe music. It's all here and for 3$...
Sweet
$17 cheaper than Coda and a whole lot cooler looking. Glad I held off on buying Coda or Amazing Slow Downer as this is really functional and well thought out and designed. Sound quality needs work.
Great app
It's a great app. But it's got some bugs but I'm sure they will be ironed out soon enough. I recommend!
