Now compatible with Ableton Link, a new technology that synchronises beat, phase and tempo. It works between Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network, or iOS apps on the same device. Just turn it on in Settings to get started! http://ableton.com/link
Compatible with the Audiobus app: Now you can receive live audio directly from other Audiobus-compatible apps!
While other music creation apps tend to be either powerful but difficult to learn, or easy to use but limited in features, Loopy doesn't compromise. Loopy offers a sleek, expressive, instantly understandable interface that beginners can start using effectively straight away. It's fun, right from the start.
More advanced users, however, will not be disappointed by Loopy's rich feature set, with extra features many other loopers just don't have. Plus, a sophisticated interactive tutorial system lets users discover Loopy's more advanced features at their own pace.

Loving loopy!
mrspih
I’ve been using loopy for a while now to create quick harmonies on the go. What I love about it is how quickly I can see if an idea works just by singing and recording the parts in a few minutes. The app has some more advanced features that allow you to crate complex time signatures and setting that up takes a bit more time. But it’s also very easy to use the more standard features, which is great. I use mostly the app on the iPad, I guess I prefer it because of the size, but I’ve used the app on the phone a few times and it worked fine as well. I wish I could sync the libraries between my devices, I’m not aware if this feature exists. The other feature I’d love to have is an easy way to share the recordings (e.g by email, instagram or whassap) directly from within the app. All in all a great, easy to use app! Thanks for creating it and keep up the good work :)
Sick!

Been using this app for a while now and it’s helped me make some cool tunes. I just wish that the audio wouldn’t get pick up so much when recording without a headset. It’s hard to know the timing. Other then that, it’s a great app!
Best looper app on apple store!
ConkerCris
This definitely the best looper I could find for iPhone. Price is great too. It’s worth the money. As a musician this is great for getting song ideas together quickly and on the go. I use my acoustic guitar and it sounds great. The interface and controls are real easy to learn and get used too. My only complaint is the LACK of EFFECTS! :/ Please!!!! Add more effects and the option to add them to already recorded loops and edit parameters. Please find a way to this and I will give 5 stars!!
Great app just one problem from me
mcockinner
I’m trying to get rid of all the dead space between my loops and it’s hard to press that button to stop it in time is there another way to stop the loop from recording or can you add a way to stop it(like shaking the phone) otherwise great app.
Works like a charm, over and over!

Being blind, I appreciate the ability to use a simple app to loop some ideas without having to battle my way through the application and make it work.
Love it

Loopy is the simple at home recording studio I need and uploads right to my SoundCloud! Must have!
