Bloom App Reviews

Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers did a great work. Very relaxing. A great and modern way to create music on the iPhone.

brian eno, amazing as usual

This app was born for meditation or just to calm down: WOW! Just bought a nice JBLsystem just for the use of it in my sleepinroom... The Soundresolution is amazing on a good soundsystem! Looking forward for more, please:):):)

Thank you mr eno.

Enos name convinced me to give this a try, plus I was intrigued by the sales blurb on the iTunes store. Im really glad I got it. Aside from the fun interface and pleasing music, its been perfect for my 5 month-old son who just loves the sounds. Weve had trouble getting hold of decent music suitable for an infant, and this app, hooked up to my main computer speakers, is perfect. Soothing, beguiling and super-user-friendly. Highly recommended!

If you like the style of Brian Eno or Robert Fripp, you will be amazed and delighted. No bugs on my iPhone. Youll create music like you never did on your iPhone.

One of the most hauntingly beautiul musical experiences! Brian Eno has created a generative musical masterpiece.

now its 12:30 and i just bought bloom, instead of doing my homework, i make music, maybe tomorow ill regret it, but for now, i have a lot of fun

Well worth the money Nice to put on when youre trying to relax or do homework or something

I love this app... fantastic to study to and fun to play with. Very mellow ambience to work to

Beautiful music sounds and art work. But I would sugest more colors for backround... and maybe some songs that play themselves, like fur elise, thatd be beautiful.

I was expecting more variety in sound types. Bloom is pretty much a one trick pony. Two bucks, not four.

Nice background music and cool ability to add notes but needs some enhancements: 1) add ability to record and save your compositions! 2) scale overlay - so you can see the range instead of guessing 3) remove a note placed by double tapping it or it will endless repeat; move notes around by dragging 4) some sort of sequencing ability so you can make compositions 5) add strings please! Piano is great and combined with strings would be surreal

An outstanding achievement and a sign of things to come - developers take heed of this app! I had a great time walking through the Art Gallery of Ontario, "composing" a unique piece of music for each room "on the fly" as it were. 3 hours of great fun. On the downside, youre basically just playing variations of the same tune - playing within some scales predefined by Brian Eno. So you cant really compose your own stuff here, but its still a really great, intuitive way to sequence loops. Still, you cant go wrong with this, whether youre a musician or not. Its so easy to use your grandmother can be creating haunting ambient tunes instantly.

People are always asking for more features but I like the simplicity of this app. I dont have to make a tonne of choices and its very relaxing. Keep it simple!

If youre an Eno fan, this is definitely worth getting. Think of it more as an interactive Eno installation than a music making app. True Eno fans will know what I mean. I find Bloom very addictive.

super simple to use, instantly fun, you just turn it on and go, not much to learn, and it can even play itself if you want! relaxing. use it on your next flight!

Even as someone who likes ambient music I hesitated at the price...but it turned out to be worth it. Simple but pleasing. ...Except when I let it play through the stereo it really creeped out the cat. He was not a fan at all--especially of the high note--he crawled off and hid.

This is the perfect iPhone app. Its deceptively simple and makes great use of the iPhones touch screen. The random musical patterns sound great. The raindrop patterns are very soothing. My only complaint is that there is nothing more. Id like to see other apps like this. Id like to be able to drag my finger across the screen and have it play that instead of only picking up discreet touches. Id like there to be a difference in notes from top to bottom on the screen (not just side to side.) Id like the program to sense how hard I tapped the screen and adjust the volume accordingly.

Cool to musician AND non-musician
