▶ Listening Practice Aid is a language app that was created with utmost priority for practicality. ▶ In learning a new language, you will know that it is a great help to learn through dialogue / grammar that you are using in real life such as movies and drama. They are composed of almost continuous conversation flows, as opposed to having the usual language learning materials rest on each sentence. ▶ This app provides a scrolling type regulator named Time Controller that can help you to learn conversations that are composed continuously so that it is easier and more efficient. Unlike the AB section or bookmark, which is limited in other apps, it provides a segment repeat function by applying the concept of a better "cycle segment", and this circulation area can be created without limit. This is the same as saying that you can functionally set the AB section to unlimited. ▶ Features • Simple, intuitive interface • Time controller with easy and precise time adjustment • Video support for iTunes Media (video / audio) and Camera Roll • Cycle segment function for segment repeat function • Automatic storage of circular areas ▶ References This app is not intended for music or video playback. Therefore, background music play (using multitasking as a feature) is not supported. Video supports basic media such as Podcasts or mp4 files. Other formats such as AVI require conversion.
