Everyday Looper allows you to record 4 musical phrases - 6 on an iPad - and loop them right away. You can then mix and merge them on the fly.
Thanks to the metronome (click track) and the auto start/stop of recording (quantized recording), reachable in the tools and options menu, it's suited for two-handed instruments too.

high utility

i use this app for getting ideas down and experimentation. I wish it was easier to share/export
Looks good, but needs work
why only one nickname
I judge any computer program by how well I can use it without reading any manual or help file. For the life of me, just on the first use of this program, I cannot figure out how to exit the recording area back into the main screen. I cannot even access the help file easily. The area where the recording tracks are really should have a section with controls such as play, start, return to main screen and those sort of controls, instead of just the tracks that you are working with. Trying to memorize all the various swipes and using 1, 2 and 3 fingers just is not intuitive. I really believe that with just a little tweaking of the interface this could be an outstanding program and hopefully the interface will improved in the future. The worst program in the world is easy to understand when you have used it enough, however outstanding programs allows the user to utilize the basic program with no help whatsoever.
Not intuitive at all
DBENDO888
The controls are simply god awful. I’m sure it’s a good app once you figure it out but to expect people to adopt this off the cuff is absurd.
Erase button doesn't work
Khurly
Not a great app if every time i close it, it just opens my last project. Can't erase or start over
Doesn’t seem to do what it’s supposed to
SAFilms
I was looking for a simple app that allows me to put down a track then loop it repeatedly for overdubs. If this does that, it’s not clear how. For example, how do you clip the space at the beginning or end so it can loop without gaps? How do you set a basic beat without taking up the base track, which sets the length of your recording? Also, the commands are quirky, sometimes working sometimes not. My search continues...
Love it but needs an update
BATTLE4xeW4RRI0R
I don't understand why you haven't updated the app lately but hopefully you'll see this and cope. You need Bluetooth support. I make a plethora of beats on the app and I'd love to be able to play them for people on a Bluetooth speaker. Allow better editing and as others have requested a better way to save or send loops. Please read!!
Great!

Once I figured out it was telling me to tap with two fingers and not tap two times this app is great. Only problem I have that kinda breaks the app is the inability to make it seamless. Like it plays through but there's a half second when it loops of silence. Please add in an editing tool to be able to cut short amounts of time off.
Meh

This is a solid $1.99 app. Thus is $5 overpriced for the missing features of a usable DAW - like track by track exporting, pan, and a more complex metronome. Meh.
