Audio Looper+ is the precise practice tool for anyone who needs to replay, study, or perform along with specific sections of an audio track. Drop in a song, a lesson, a podcast or a language recording, create as many markers as you like, and loop seamlessly (or with a rest time) between any two of them — then export the looped section as its own file. Features: • Place an unlimited number of markers on the waveform • Loop seamlessly between any two markers • Add a rest time before a loop repeats, with an optional countdown tick and visual countdown — perfect for practicing a phrase, pausing, then jumping back in • Pinch-to-zoom on the zoomed waveform for accurate navigation • Played-back audio is dimmed grey so you always know where you are • Export loops in AAC, WAV or Apple Lossless • Move, rename and disable markers without losing your place • Adjust playback speed • Tap anywhere on the waveform to jump instantly • Markers are saved per track across your whole library • Import audio from the Files app or your Music Library Who is it for? • Musicians learning or transcribing a part, by ear or with their instrument • Singers and vocalists rehearsing a verse, a run, or a single line • Dancers and choreographers drilling a section on repeat • Music producers and DJs isolating a loop, a break or a sample to export • Language learners shadowing a sentence or a dialogue • Podcasters and journalists reviewing a clip • Students transcribing lectures, interviews or field recordings • Anyone who needs to repeat, mark or export a specific moment in an audio file If you have any questions or feedback, contact me at audiolooper@danielnoethen.de

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Audio Looper+ holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stezza Music Player has 135 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Stezza Music Player's written reviews are positive against 69% of Audio Looper+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stezza Music Player ships an update every 2 months, Audio Looper+ every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
