Longplay

I had a problem initially setting up on an ipad (couldn’t see the album wall icon). I set it up on iphone and it works now on ipad too. Pilot error maybe. I dunno.

Easily the best money I’ve ever spent on a music app.

Got this on a recommendation from someone on Mastodon, and it’s a really novel way of reconnecting with your music library by putting everything on display all at once. Artwork, not text. Plus: sorting based on “Addiction”, “Brightness”, “Negligence” etc. It’s a really unique _album_ based approach. Loving it. Another plus: I found one reproducible crash almost immediately after purchase, which the developer fixed nearly overnight. Overall, well worth it. Really enjoying this app.

Longplay brings back the satisfying and relaxing way of listening to albums, not as individual songs, but as whole albums. The focus options make it easy to find neglected albums you’ve forgotten about. It will bring your album collection back to life and make your listening experience enjoyable and relaxing again!

I’ve had the app for a few weeks and find it hard to use - find stuff to listen to or search for albums or artists. I still haven’t found a way to search for specific albums. I didn’t know that there was a screen by swiping right to see ordering, sorting, and settings. I get the desire to have a simplified UI but a user shouldn’t accidentally stumble upon the settings because they randomly swiped. It should be clear where to control things.
