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.

Whether you want a personalised backing track, or need to record an idea for your next big hit, One Loop brings performance and recording straight to your phone. Features: • Simple, easy to use looping. • Built-in studio quality effects: Noise Gate, EQ, Compression & Reverb. • Advanced layer control and grouping. • Metronome selection with a variety of backing percussion. • MIDI support and mappable control for hands free performance. • Supports external audio interfaces; up to 8 channels of audio input. Recording Whether you choose your device’s built-in microphone for quick and easy use, or an external interface for multiple routing options, One Loop encourages portable creativity. Don’t be restricted by the limitations of a computer when all you need is your phone… and something to record! Enjoy the app’s seamless looping and build up to 10 beautiful layers with ease. Save your projects for later reference, you’ll never forget those 3am ideas ever again! Make sure to wear headphones for clean recordings with no feedback issues. Complete Control One Loop gives you complete control to form your best ideas. Each layer is mute-able and has an adjustable volume slider to shape your overall sound. Assign each layer to a bank of 4 groups (A to D) for quick variation of instrumentation, or different sections of a song. Setup your Bluetooth or USB midi devices and assign their parameters to trigger any of One Loop’s functions for greater control and smooth performances. Manage Your Mix One Loop gives you the controls to refine your recordings with studio quality effects designed by audio engineers: Noise Gate, EQ, Compression and Reverb. Wherever you’re recording, either in a quiet room or a busy outdoor environment, you can reduce any unwanted noise by adjusting the Noise Gate’s threshold and envelope, to create cleaner recordings. Boost or Cut the Input’s EQ frequency bands (Low, Mid and High) with a +/- 15dB range to shape the sound of your loop layers. Adjust the acoustic environment of your mix, from a small garage to a large cathedral, by changing the size & effect percentage of the Reverb. Settle a busy, complex layered mix using the Bus Compressor’s threshold and ratio controls.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: One Loop at 60% against Music Looper's 29%. One Loop also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). Music Looper's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (4.3 vs 3.9). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Music Looper sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and One Loop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Music Looper holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Music Looper has 766 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Music Looper's written reviews are positive against 60% of One Loop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Music Looper ships an update every 3 days, One Loop every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
