LoopLingo
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.
