Practice smarter with Music Looper – the all-in-one app to slow down, loop and isolate any part of a song. Import your own files or use Apple Music, record yourself with a metronome, and take hands-free control with a Bluetooth foot pedal. Key Features: • Seamless A–B loop playback • Slow down music without changing pitch • Video lessons & concerts: loop, slow down and transpose the sound with the picture in sync — frame step, zoom and mirror • EQ & filters: cut the lows or highs, boost the bass, or isolate the left or right channel — free • Automatically change speed, pitch, or BPM during practice • Practice Lists: save your loops as ready-to-go practice routines • Line up routines from different songs and practice them back-to-back • Play Along: record yourself playing over a loop, then hear your take lined up with the backing track • Progress tracking with daily goals, reminders, streaks, session history and stats • Smart review: saved practices come back when they're due, sooner if they were hard • Start a practice or practice list with Siri and Shortcuts • Find songs and practices instantly with Spotlight search • Follow your live practice on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Control playback from the Lock Screen and your headphones — play, pause, jump back to the loop start • Apple Watch remote: play, switch loops, run practices and record takes from your wrist • iPad & Mac: a sidebar for your groups and practice lists, with your library beside the song editor • AI practice coach: a private, on-device suggestion for what to practice next • Free song analysis: reveal sections, chords and tempo for any song — no subscription needed • Tap a chord for guitar & piano finger charts; jump to any section and loop it • Auto-scrolling waveform: zoom in and it follows the playhead smoothly, keeping the next chords in view • Mixer AI: separate any song into 6 stems — vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and more • Automatic ready-named loops, BPM and first-beat detection • Record music with metronome • Organize your songs with folders and tags • Export changed pitch/speed files • Share loops with bandmates — export a song's loops and import them via AirDrop • Teacher & student: assign a whole practice list — loops, practices and a note — as one shareable file • Sync across your devices with iCloud Practice Lists – build your own routine: Save any loop with its perfect speed, pitch or BPM settings, then group your favorites into practice lists. Music Looper walks you through them one after another and gradually ramps up the tempo, key or BPM as you improve – so you can just play while the app keeps score. Set a daily goal, get an optional reminder, and track your streaks, session history and progress over time to stay motivated. Teaching? Share an entire practice list with your students as a single assignment they can import in a tap. Play Along – record yourself over the loop: Pick a loop, set a count-in, a short start delay and how many times you want to go round, then play while Music Looper records you through the mic. Your take is played back lined up with the backing track, so you hear exactly where you drifted – nudge the timing, keep the takes worth keeping and record again. Recordings stay on your device. Mix the backing stems to hear only the parts you need, save the whole setup as a practice, add it to a practice list, and every session counts in your daily goal, streaks and stats. Apple Music + Shazam support: Practice with your Apple Music songs. Record a melody offline and identify it later with Shazam. Perfect for: • Music students and teachers • Singers, drummers, guitarists, pianists • Dancers and choreographers • Anyone who wants to learn or practice music effectively To use Apple Music songs, an active Apple Music subscription is required.

Built for Live performance and hands free use, Quantiloop recreates the simplicity of a hardware loop pedal in an iOS app. Attach a MIDI foot controller and control it the way you want. No MIDI controller at hand; just preset your loop length, enable auto–record or a count–in and your loops will automatically close, no hands or feet required. Big onscreen controls allow for easy configuration and tactile control by vocalists or beat boxers. Focus on your performance instead of fiddling with dip switches or complex menu’s. Be Creative Create 4 tracks with endless layers of overdubs to build your performance. Record a Chorus, Verse and Bridge and switch between them seamlessly or create a 1 bar percussie loop on track one, a 4 bar chord progression on track two and layer a bass line on top, all in perfect synchronisation. Rhythm Guide The builtin rhythm guide provides a rhythmic backing. Use the internal metronome for practice, import drum loops from virtually anywhere or host and control your favourite rhythm apps to enhance your performance. MIDI master lets you control MIDI hardware, and MIDI slave lets Quantiloop follow it. Ableton Link lets you even play in time over WiFi with external apps and devices. Quantisation aligns your actions to the nearest measure or beat so you stay in time, and real-time tempo control sets the pace. Prefer setting your own pace, disable quantisation and Quantiloop will react to your actions with minimum latency to create tight synchronised recordings. FX Assign up to 3 simultaneous effects to the input. Use the built-in transpose to covert your guitar into a bass, or host your guitar amp sim directly in Quantiloop. The results will be recorded into your loops. Or assign up to 3 simultaneous track effects to the output. Use the tape stop to add drama, introduce a key change to build up your performance, or host an Inter-App audio/AU reverb processor. Track FX may be assigned to a single track, all tracks or the combined output.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Music Looper at 4.3 against Quantiloop's 3.0. Music Looper also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (767 vs 38). Quantiloop's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 29%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Music Looper holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Looper has 767 ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Music Looper's written reviews are positive against 56% of Quantiloop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Music Looper ships an update every 3 days, Quantiloop every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
