Play multiple Live Photos at once and relive your moments in motion. THE PROBLEM You've taken hundreds of Live Photos, but they sit in your library as still images. Playing them one by one takes forever, and you never get to actually enjoy the motion you captured. WHY THE PHOTOS APP ISN'T ENOUGH The built-in Photos app only plays one Live Photo at a time. You have to tap each photo, wait, go back, and tap the next. There's no way to play through a batch continuously or watch several at once. THE SOLUTION LivePhotosPlayer lets you select Live Photos from your library and plays them simultaneously in a grid—4 at a time on iPhone, 6 on iPad. Photos play continuously one after another, so you can sit back and watch your memories come alive without tapping through them one by one. Fast. Continuous. Your Live Photos, finally in motion.
