I can't listen to everyone's recordings!

The app crashes when I press the "Library" button. Also, pressing the "World of 4:33" button results in an error. Since this is a paid app, I request a prompt fix. My device is an iPhone 12 Pro.

アプデされるのか?

ついに聞くことも投稿することもできなくなった、意味のないアプリ

Can't record can't listen

Please update I love this app

前までは使えた

なぜか、世界のみんなの演奏が聞けなくなっている。自分が所持している二つの端末でだけかもしれないが、そうでないならば早急に直していただきたい。

落ちる

Libraryを開くと落ちてしまう。せっかく録音したんだけどな〜

動作不安定

libraryを開くとアプリが強制終了

面白いが…

音を録音して投稿できるのは面白いアプリだと思ったが、ライブラリを開くとアプリが落ちるので改善して欲しい

A system bug has occurred

Brilliant Update of a Concept

This is the next natural step in the evolution of the philosophy behind 4’33”. I would request 2 features be added. 1. Play in background. This way I can let it play continuously if I need to check a message without interruption. Although, philosophically, this may not be true to the spirit of the piece. 2. An option to play all the pieces on the map one after the other in a shuffle mode. So I can hit Play All and it will automatically go to the next recording without me needing to select one. Might be fun.

Superb

Every now and then an app taps into the true creative potential of these crazy globally connected computers in our hands. This app is one of them.

Excellent

Awesome app that really embodies the spirit of what John Cage was going for with the original 4'33".

Unexpected and Clever!

So much joy in listening to people around the world share their lives. Would like to be able to save a list of favourites to a separate library, or some kind of playlist for later listening.

Won't play in the background

I love the concept and the app works well.. But not being able to play silences in the background makes it very hard to use..

TLDR

great interview on TLDR. thanks for your work on this.

Nicely done, only one thing missing

Very nice, simple, well done. Only thing missing is a way to share and listen to recordings outside of the app (e.g. on the website).

Wonderful teaching tool!

I have been using this in my 3rd through 8th grade music classrooms to have guided discussions about how different "silence" can sound in different parts of the world. Everyday at the beginning of class we listen to a recording. It inspires their imagination as they try to come up with the location of the recording before i tell them. They also pause to think about what is going on in the world at that particular moment in that particular place. The older students extend these thoughts by adding some background information such as: how does the culture influence the sounds within this "silence?" I have been amazed at some of the things they come up with!!!

Brilliant

This app is fantastic! It captures the spirit and intention if Cage's idea (is it really a composition?) and uses it to create a window on a world of sound.
