I don’t often spend money on apps, but this one is worth the $4! I’ve always preferred to listen to whole albums, and this makes it so much easier to browse them. Beautiful! Show more

My apple music library is small, mainly because of the LACK of an interface like this one. If this scales well to large music libraries, apple should just give up and buy this app and the dev team and make it the default way to browse apple music. Show more

There needs to be a way to view and play individual songs. There also need to be a tree for easier searching by alphabet. Then when you click on the artist you get the albums. My collection is large and I have to scroll for a week to get to an album I want. It was inexpensive so I gave it a try. The author seems to care about his product so maybe in time it will improve. Right now it’s only worth it with small libraries. I would stick with Soor or Marvis Pro for now. Show more

Apple Shortcuts can no longer handle searching through my library, picking a random song, and then getting the album from that. Longplay has shortcut support and simplified the shortcut to just playing a random album through Longplay. I owe this app my productivity. Show more

Great for viewing and rediscovering your albums. Some additional features would be very useful, such as seeing what tracks are on an album and what trackers are currently playing. Other now playing controls would also be useful, such as skip or go back, etc. —- Updating review: you can see the usual now playing screen in the Apple Music app, which I didn’t realize initially. That helps! Show more

Just downloaded, and like the interface and more ways to sort, but once I click an album, I can’t see the track list. It’s hard to know what song will be up next, or songs that are missing from the original album in my library. Add these feat, and this app could be great. Show more

This app is so slow as to be unusable. I’ve *never* been able to make it play a single album on AirPlay, but it’s sometimes happy to mistakenly play one locally if my finger brushes against the screen. (My personal record is *three times* last night!) The UI looks pretty when the app finally stops “Updating albums…”—it’s a long delay every time—and then I can only pick an album from the UI to play manually on Apple Music—and *then* the app updates its UI to show that, yes, yes, that album is now playing. It’s something, but not much. I have a very large music library music library. That may cause my problems, but the problems are awful. I just tried again to play an album, gave it plenty of time, but nothing. I switched apps and wrote this review, and still nothing. I just went back and the app is back to “Updating albums…”.

Love this app. Old enough to have had an album collection but didn't realize how much I missed flipping through albums to decide what to play. This app comes as close to that experience as you're going to get on a digital device --thanks! Show more

I love the simplicity but an album’s track listing is essential. Perhaps an addition to the long press menu?

Show tracks? No. Repeat track? No. Skip a track? No. Volume control? No. Play albums. Yup.

Nice looking app. I was hoping that there would be a way to have to shuffle albums randomly. I’ve been looking for an app that does that for years.

Love the app, especially the minimalism. It’s refreshing to simply see your (good) albums! A couple of options missing that would help make it perfect: 1) option to open album in Apple Music (so we can e.g. delete it from the library, or browse artist for more albums etc) 2) add album to Play next or Play last. Show more

I hate how Apple Music/streaming culture has led me to litter my library with individual songs from artists I generally don’t like and care about. This app is fantastic in that it filters out the trash and brings you only the album — which is a shorthand for music that actually matters. All good and definitely worth the money (could easily charge that yearly, and should, maybe!). However, I would want to see a “Play Next” & “Play Later” addition. Often I’m already playing music from the Apple Music app, and browsing Longplay I’d want to be able to add to that day’s list. Also a “show album in Apple Music” button would be great — ie a link back to the same album in Apple Music where you could then delete, etc. Show more

This is a great app for people who like to listen to whole albums. I got this app shortly after it launched and it just keeps getting better with updates!

This app helps me to rediscover music I’ve neglected on a daily basis. I love the new widget which makes it essentially the “I’m freely lucky” button of my music collection. One feature suggestion: let me omit certain albums from long play’s display. I have a fair amount of classic albums and generally, if I’m in the app, that’s not the music I’m looking for. I’d love to omit all classical music, and some other albums that I frankly never want to hear. Overall, great app! Show more

I used to use Smart Playlists to accomplish what Longplay does. The most irreplaceable one on Apple Music has been my old Neglected playlist which automatically included albums I hadn’t listed to in a while. Longplay does a great job of filling that role while keeping the interface really simply and making it easy to get in and pick an album without too much fuss. If I could make one feature request, I’d like to see a toggle added to exclude Holiday/Christmas albums. Show more

Dev fixed bug within a couple days of first review and app works nice and smooth now. Going to use this app to find some albums I haven’t listened to in a while. ——— App always crashes after about 45 seconds. Looks like it’s trying to build the brightness option and fails halfway through the progress bar. Never got to use this newly purchased app. Happy to change review if it starts working. Show more

This application has a good concept but, it doesn’t show all of my music.

Installed instantly at <3 MB, almost no set-up, and I’m right into my music! Easily worth trying at $3 and almost no learning curve

This app is super simple: pick the filter you want, then rediscover the music that’s in there. I love that it’s not trying to replace the entire Music app - it’s focused on helping me find albums that I’d forgotten in my library. Super, super worth your time! Show more
