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 15 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, in English and German.
