Can’t rehearse at home? Rehearse in the car, on the train, in the bus, or on a plane! Identify sections of the music you want to learn, like a guitar solo or some tricky phrase, then create a looping pattern that you can play over and over again. Slow down the loops you create in order to memorize them easier! Create a whole series of loops for a given song in your music library, and become familiar with an entire piece before your plane lands! Features: - Create loops from any song in your music library by identifying the start and end loop points for any section of the song: a guitar solo, a fast-paced rap verse, a drum fill, and so on. - Listen to that loop section 10 billion times until you have it memorized. - Change the playback speed of your loops. Slow it down without changing the pitch of the song in order to hear each note more clearly!

Both are free to download. CueMusic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Loop Buddy asks for nothing beyond the download.
CueMusic holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 1.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6 and 4 respectively.
