[An active (paid) Apple Music subscription is required to play any music.] PracticeMap is a player for people practicing an instrument and for anyone learning songs by ear. It works with the Apple Music you already have - no file prep, no importing - and lets you loop the phrases you can't play yet as many times as you need. ■ Slow it to half speed, and the pitch stays put Play back anywhere from 50% to 125%. Nothing sags a semitone, so the note you hear is the note you play. Work through fast passages one note at a time, still in the original key. ■ The song becomes a map Every song is laid out across ten rows, whatever its length, so you always know where you are. ■ One tap to split Tap "+" and a marker drops at the current position. No naming, no dialogs. The stretch between two markers becomes a practice unit, and you can loop just that. ■ Leave yourself notes "The chord changes here." "Different fingering from here." Attach a note to any marker. It stays on screen while you play, so you can read it without stopping. ■ Speed Trainer Set a number of laps, and the playback speed steps up automatically each time you hit it. Start slow and creep up to the original tempo. ■ Your practice adds up Time spent playing and the number of loops are recorded automatically. Today's total is waiting on the home screen. ■ Find the tempo Tap along with the song for four beats or more and PracticeMap works out its BPM. ■ Pick up where you left off Markers, playback position, and speed are saved per song, automatically. Open it tomorrow and carry straight on. ---------- WHAT YOU CAN PRACTICE WITH - Songs from the Apple Music catalog - Songs already in your Apple Music library, including your own MP3s and CD rips that you imported in the Music app and synced through iCloud Music Library WHAT ISN'T SUPPORTED - Reading files directly from your device (MP3s sitting in the Files app) - Songs from other streaming services PLEASE NOTE - This app works with Apple Music only. An active (paid) Apple Music subscription is required; without one, no songs will play. - All playback happens through Apple Music. The app never downloads, copies, or exports audio. - Requires an iPhone running iOS 17 or later. - No ads. No usage data is collected. Everything you record stays on your device. PRICING - Free for up to three songs. No feature is held back - markers, looping, speed control, Speed Trainer, practice records, and tempo detection all work from the start. - From the fourth song onward, a one-time in-app purchase removes the song limit. It is a single payment, not a subscription. - This is separate from your Apple Music subscription. Buying it does not give you access to Apple Music. ---------- One day the phrase you've been chasing simply falls under your fingers. May the patient repetition that leads up to it be a little more enjoyable. Here's to a richer musical life for all of us.
