User Reviews

Group the Loop is widely praised for its intuitive interface, rich live-looping features, and strong Ableton Link integration. Reviewers also highlight ongoing development, responsive support, and high-quality recordings suitable for standalone use and live performance. The main recurring caveat is timing control: users find starting/ending loops and cueing sections challenging within the app, sometimes necessitating external DAW workflows. Overall, GTL is a leading, versatile looper on iOS, favored by performers and producers who value speed, flexibility, and community support.
Pros
  • Intuitive, easy-to-use GUI and workflow.
  • Feature-packed for live looping with reliable section control and MIDI/foot-controller mapping.
  • Excellent Ableton Link integration across compatible apps (AUM, Audiobus) and reliable syncing.
  • Active development with frequent updates and highly responsive support/community.
  • High-quality recording output and versatile performance tools (standalone operation, built-in drums, flexible routing).
Cons
  • Timing control is tricky/limited within the app; precise start/stop timing often requires external DAW editing.

This is the worst looper I have ever used. It crashed 5 times in the one day I used it. The tutorial locked up while I was using it and force quit. And when I finally managed to get a loop in, I discovered you cant change the timing of your recordings, so your microphone/headphones better have ZERO latency. Completely useless to me.

When you go to select an AUv3 FX, nothing is in any discernible order. BLEASS Delay might 1/4 of the way down the list, while BLEASS Chorus might be down near the very bottom. Nothing is as alphabetical by plugin or developer. It makes searching for a specific eff3ct you have in mind unnecessarily burdensome.
