Trope App Reviews

Though Ive only seen demos of Bloom from online reviews, I suspect Trope is a far more intelligent and sophisticated generative music engine. The result is that it takes your input and reworks it endlessly if not literally, thus offering longevity and thematic variation. With its variety of tone, timbre, and mood, Trope is capable of producing real - truly beautiful - music either on its own or with input from you. Well done!

After using "Bloom" I was expecting more awesomeness, but this program falls flat on its face with its super-limited interface. A waste!

There is an occasional crackle in the audio. I havent downloaded the newest version yet to see if that has been corrected. In spite of that - this is my most used "go to sleep" app.

At first, I was taken aback by the large number of negative reviews. These must be people who do not like ambient music because I found this to be a wonderful app. If you like Enos "Thursday Afternoon" and other slow-moving works, this is perfect. I am glad I bought it. Eno fans who bought "Bloom" will be very pleased by this.

Bloom achieved so much more. Trope is simply a very short loop of dissonant piano notes and older marks. The user hardly has any control at all. Save your cash-stick with Bloom.

If you like Enos ambient work I cant see how you would be disappointed by Bloom, Trope or Air. They are all winners and completely worth the meager price.

Very cool graphics. Only issue is a bug that changes line type back 2 default after I erase no matter which 1 I choose.

Great ambient music generation. Superb droning. Crank up the bass and enjoy.

Some say Trope is not as responsife as Bloom. Not true. Each action by the finger is more like moving a finger over a lip of a crystal glass. Not like keystrokes on a synth like Bloom. I like it. It complements Bloom.

Take some time to immerse yourself in this app. Theres a great deal of depth and nuance here even with the somewhat familiar themes. certainly well worth the price. If you enjoy ambient, self generating and perpetuating music this is for you. As another reviewer says a great compliment to Bloom. A different environment. Looking forward to more and perhaps some upgrades. Many Thanks to Eno and Chilvers for their introspective genius !!!

Im 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. Its easy to get it to play a slow, soothing pseudo-melody which is extremely relaxing. I dont think any of these apps are really off-the-charts outstanding, but this is a new way of making music and Im impressed at how good it already is.

Pure bliss! All for less than a cappuccino!

Another zen garden for musicians. Very calming. Meditative. Music and art therapy at its best.

...there wasnt that damned repeating piano riff in the background. If I wanted that, id just play bloom. Please update this app w/o the background lead, its so undermining of what the user can do. Think Eno!

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.

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!

...if it werent 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.

This app is enjoyable and serene, but its 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 youd 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.

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. Its 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.

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