Wonderful idea - poor execution
This composition is amazing, but the app suffers from timing issues, stutter, and non-ideal layering. Re-timing artefacts slip in, and after a few hours it becomes untenable. The actual recording also suffers from a few notable bowl-strikes that were messy, and hearing them repeat every few minutes closes the loop too quickly to feel that one is participating in a millennial process - it becomes, instead, listening to a broken tape loop. I would prefer - for this case, to listen to regenerative resynthesis - balanced and attuned to ensure the feeling that 'these moments will not repeat for a thousand years' remains both pertinent and experienced, as was intended.

Love the concept and sounds - App has a problem
I just recently learned about Longplayer and I think it’s a brilliant concept and a lovely thing to listen to. The app itself is pretty basic. It’s cool to see how the Longplayer loop was made and to see where it’s at in real time and I love that it plays in the background if you go to some other apps. My issue is that, if you switch to another app that requires sound, while it’s playing, the sound goes off (that part makes sense) unfortunately, after this happens the only way to get Longplayer to start playing sound again is to restart my phone. I wish there was a reload button or something like that. I would give it five stars, but I’ve had it the app less than 24 hours and I’ve had this problem three times already. Hoping someone will do an update before the thousand years is up.

Amazing project, a wonder to listen to
I first heard about Longplayer 15 years ago during a London visit. Evolving from the original listening posts, the ability to now walk and listen to the composition ‘live’ on my iPhone is a marvel. I often have the app running for hours at a time, streamed through a Bose speaker at home. I’ve gifted the app a number of times to friends and family, all have enjoyed it. A version of the app for AppleTV would be appreciated. Namaste.

Everyone needs this.
Listening to the Longplayer project reminds me that there are still brilliant, beautiful, amazing, things in this world.
Instant perspective shift
Great app, replicating a wonderful project to extend the human focus beyond the normal scope of days, years and even decades.
Functionality to use Longplayer as an alarm clock or timer would be appreciated.
