    Unbelievable.
    Serenity, makes you feel like you are floating in deep space, past the planets and moons, the stars...Beautiful. You do not want to miss this. Perfect for meditation or insomnia.

    Well
    Well it's okay I guess I kind of expected more out of a Brian Eno app-definitely needs more options like copy paste music file, there's no way to save anything you create also the sounds are all pretty similar, it's alright to sleep to but really needs a lot more options and some moods that are actually different.

    I like Bloom slightly more
    Cool sustained sounds. Still trying to figure it out. I like Bloom's more piano-like soundscapes more

    Very nice
    I am really discovering some nice results. Can we look forward to streaming to an airport express? The ability to listen on the home stereo and still have my phone close by would be Devine. Thank you. Show more

    Please read app makers
    I love the concept but trope needs more sensitivity to the touches we make. You can hardly hear the sounds when you touch the screen hard. This results in basically only the background being heard. Please boost the volume of our touches and also add more variety of sounds, thanks. Show more

    Discreet Music, 35 Years Later
    Beautiful. I enjoyed Eno's 1975 vinyl LP "Discreet Music" very much. It was created using a long tape loop between two reel-to-reel recorders with the erase head covered up. This is the same concept, 35 years later, and the whole thing fits in your pocket. It would be interesting to include a user sound input option. Maybe that will be included in the iPad version.

    This is beauty ~ Brian Eno is genius for painting sound... Trope is my favorite of the Eno apps, and is the only reason I'm able to sleep most nights. I love it's Listen option and how you're able go set it to play for however long you'd like. (or let it run all night and see how it affects your dreams) It's simply mesmerizing, relaxing, and calms the mind. I recommend it for everyone. ~kaela m. Show more

    Great!
    Thank you for the update to now support playing Trope in the background! I love it :)

    Absolute chilled awesomeness!
    This was one of the first apps I bought when I got my very first iDevice and it still remains one of the most used and favorite apps I have downloaded. It's perfect for yoga or meditation, zoning out on a project, and just about anything else you need ambient background noise for. I just wish they would create a version for the Mac app store so I could have the wonderful beauty of this app on the much larger screen of my iMac. Show more

    Enjoyable but crippled experience
    This app is enjoyable and serene, but it's usefulness is extremely limited as it lacks background tasking. The developers seemed to have abandoned the app, so you must take it as is. If you'd like to use your iPhone for anything else, you must exit the app and end the soundscape. That being said, the soundscapes are beautiful and a pleasure to listen to while reading or relaxing.

  • DarkSound, 13.11.2010
    Could be a great app...
    ...if it weren't for the self generating notes. User sounds are nice and very Eno-esque. But the self generating notes spoil any creativity and takes what could have been a cool instrument and turns it into more of a novelty/toy. Too bad. Fix the self generation or give an option to turn it off. Show more

    Wonderful
    My favorite of the three Eno apps. It allows you more control than the others, especially when holding a touch and dragging it about. Visually mesmerizing. Rich sound quality. A must have! Show more

    Not awe inspiring
    Bloom is much better.
  • Newsocks, 13.06.2010
    Not for me
    I guess how new age people could get into this but I tried napping to this and it just ended up putting me in a bad mood.
  • mylesgilbert, 12.06.2010
    Great, would give 5 stars if only...
    ...there wasn't that damned repeating piano riff in the background. If I wanted that, i'd just play bloom. Please update this app w/o the background lead, it's so undermining of what the user can do. Think Eno! Show more

    Love it!
    Another zen garden for musicians. Very calming. Meditative. Music and art therapy at it's best.

    Pure bliss! All for less than a cappuccino!

    better than Bloom!
    I'm a huge Eno fan, so when I found out about Bloom I had to buy it, and that led me to Trope. Although Bloom may be more fun to play with than Trope, I find that Trope is better to listen to. It's easy to get it to play a slow, soothing pseudo-melody which is extremely relaxing. I don't think any of these apps are really off-the-charts outstanding, but this is a new way of making music and I'm impressed at how good it already is. Show more
