KEY FEATURES • Cues — Mark any moment in a song and jump there instantly with a button • Cuts — Set the start and end of each section; Play Cut skips everything else • Tempo — Slow down to learn or speed up to polish, with quick presets • Count-in — Count four beats before a cue so you start on time • Sessions — Organize every routine with custom color gradients • Folders — Group sessions by class, show, or project • Statistics — See how much you've rehearsed and which cues you use most • iCloud Sync — Keep your sessions in sync across devices • Light and dark mode — Ready for the studio, classroom, or stage Looping does not download or store full songs — it controls playback of music you already have access to.
