Awesome sound
I saw Longplayer on a recent YouTube video. I think it was a couple showing their favourite places in England. I was hooked at first sight. Now with the app I can listen to this glorious soundscape whenever i want. I live on my own and i love to have Longplayer tinkling in the background when i am relaxing or reading. Ive not yet had it playing when I am meditating. I think i might find it intrusive. Gently splashing ocean waves would suit me better. Still for everything else Longplayer fits the bill. I do hope it does not distort over time. That would be sad.

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.

Works fine
Nice app, would be perfect if different stream formats and quantities could be offered by Longplayer Trust not only but also via this app.
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.
