Made with love

The app is made by myself and I use it pretty much every day. I love feedback, read all and try to reply to everything, too.

Longplay is the iOS app for music lovers who enjoy listening to full albums, especially if they have a hard time isolating them in their music library. It provides a beautiful view of the album artworks of the (near) complete albums in their music library with one-tap access to play them.

Available for iOS 16 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, in English and German.

  • Steve Jobs would have loved it.

  • Great idea and beautiful design. I love the different discoverability angles, especially Negligence.

  • Full album listeners: assemble!

  • This iOS music player is perfect. This is exactly how I like to play music; one record at a time, from start to finish. OUTSTANDING work!

  • Very nice job with Longplay! Love the wall-of-albums UX.

  • Thanks for Longplay, I miss the days I could stand before my collection to find forgotten treasures.

  • I do like listening to albums front to back. What a great idea.

  • What a great app! Listening to full albums is the only proper way to consume great music.
