If you are a language learner (I’m attempting to learn Korean with many different new sounds and utterances) it can be almost incomprehensible to pick out the various syllables-sounds as you listen to audio files of people speaking - even from language workbook CDs. This app is great. Simply allow access to your library and start listening. You can slow the audio file down to 1/2 speed without any compromise in quality. You can set up repeat functions to listen repeatedly to a part of the file. Many other options. I wish I would have found this app months ago!

Great for studying a foreign language. The best feature is the repeat button that only goes back in 3 second intervals (3 sec for one tap, 6sec for two taps etc)...other apps such as the Pimsleur player is defaulted to 15sec. The only drawback I've noticed so far, is that when reducing playback speed down to 75% or 50%, there is a lot of distortion (substantial echo is introduced). Hopefully they'll correct this eventually.
