Stop rewinding. Turn any lesson audio into a listening drill you can repeat forever. LoopLingo is an offline A-B loop practice tool for language learners. Import a dialogue, course audio or a podcast episode you already own, pin the sentence you want to master with two loop points, and play it on repeat — slower if you need it, with a silent gap after each repeat for speaking along. WHAT'S INSIDE • A-B loop, made for sentences — Drag two handles around the exact phrase you're drilling. The loop is exact to 0.01 seconds and never drifts. • Several sentences per drill — Pin multiple loop points in one file and switch sentences while practising. Each one keeps its own speed and gap. • Slow down without chipmunk — Speed from 0.50x to 1.25x with pitch untouched, so every word stays natural at a pace you can catch. • Your turn gap — Add a silent 0.5–2 second pause after each repeat and speak along. Shadowing, built into the loop itself. • Lock screen practice — Keep practising from the lock screen and Control Center: the drill name, which sentence you're on, playback speed at 0.5x / 0.75x / 1.0x and a 5-second jump back (lock screen speed controls require iOS 27; playback itself works on every supported version). • Spotlight and Siri — Saved drills appear in system search, and the "LoopLingo continue drill" shortcut resumes your last sentence, loop points and speed exactly where you left them. • Saved drills — Every drill keeps its loop points, speed, gap, tags and your notes. Tomorrow's practice reopens the identical loop in one tap. • Practice history — Repeats completed, minutes practised and the speed you used, kept per session so you can see the streak build. • Repeat control — Loop a fixed number of times, for a set duration, or until you stop. • Works offline — No account, no sign-in, no ads, no subscription. Your audio stays on your device. FILE SUPPORT Local audio files only - MP3, WAV, M4A, AIFF and FLAC. DRM-protected tracks from Apple Music or streaming downloads cannot be opened. If a source file is moved or renamed, a first-class Relink flow restores the drill without losing anything. WHAT LOOPLINGO IS NOT • No microphone — the app never listens to or captures audio. • Not a transcription or translation tool. • Not a music looper — no tracks, no playlists, no tempo tools. PAY ONCE LoopLingo works without a purchase: unlimited listening practice, and up to 2 new saved drills per day. A single Lifetime unlock removes the limit — unlimited saved drills, batch import and full practice history. Already-saved drills are never locked away. One payment, no subscription. Built for the ten minutes a day where your ears get faster.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Empathy Training at none against LoopLingo's 1. Empathy Training also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
