Review summary

AB Player is valued for its AB repeat feature, letting users save and reuse sections, and for supporting language-learning with repeatable playback. It also offers a notable Notability split-view on iPad for simultaneous study. However, several reviews warn that the UI can be confusing and mislead about Apple Music integration. Overall, the app is strong for repetition-based practice and language learning, with some UX improvements needed.

Pros

AB repeat feature is phenomenal with the ability to save and reuse multiple sections.
Excellent language-learning support with repeatable playback for studying content.
Split-view support with Notability on iPad enables simultaneous study.

Cons

Confusing and sometimes misleading user interface, particularly around Apple Music integration.

2026-05-05	Ma*****	This app worked just fine for a while now whenever I try to play a song on it I get a message that says it cannot play the song because it’s copyright protected by Apple. What’s going on?

2020-01-16	If*****	This app is great and has helped me with analyzing music. Yet it would be great if this app could support importing audio from other apps and sources. It makes me have to constantly use my PC to have to import audio via iTunes to Apple Music which I won't always have especially if I'm traveling.

2019-11-23	Ju*****	One important function is jump back 3 seconds but the button is too small to use. And its screen position is wrong. It should be put in the middle of screen and above play/pause button. And also plz make it bigger than paly/pause button so that we can use it to listen to the part that is just missed or not understood very well. Now it is 2 second jumpback and I think the timespan should be adjustable.

2018-07-25	Na*****	This App has very similar icon with Apple Music, so I expected I can utilize the App to my Apple Music. But the App doesn’t show most of all songs in my Apple Music. The design of the App is very confusing and misleading like as the player works with Apple Music. If they use this Apple Music like icon but doesn’t work with Apple Music, they should make a clear manifest in the store page; This app doesn’t play music in Apple Music. I went to the provider’s web site to get instruction, however they even don’t show this App on their web. I contacted them via email, but they’re not supportive at all and don’t refund. Very poor customer service. I don’t understand why Apple allowed the provider to sale this confusing App.

Very useful all around app defiantly worth it

2013-02-05	de*****	I'd like to be gracious for a free much needed app but I couldn't figure out the interface. Aside from using sliders, a difficult way to set exact position everything else I punched seemed to give a weird and unexpected result. Never could get a clip right and couldn't delete saved ones. Fix it/supply a manual and I'll return.
