Trope App Reviews

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

Beautiful. I enjoyed Enos 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.

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.

Very nice app

Just bought the app Thought bloom was ok Like idea and ability to interact more Ps: Try it on black and white if you will.

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.

Cool sustained sounds. Still trying to figure it out. I like Blooms more piano-like soundscapes more

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

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.

Couldnt get the sound to stop once I left the App. The other app, Bloom, will freeze. Wish this one would. Had to delete it off my phone.

But 3.99 seems high for something this simplistic and unimaginative. There are plenty of great artists making ambient music; I wish Id just spent the 4 bucks on some of their MP3s.

I love this app. There is a multitasking option, so the review that states the app wont "freeze" when closed is inaccurate. I just wish this app was available for iPad as well.

This is one of my favorite apps. However, I am having some trouble with this as well as Air and Bloom and how they work in iOS6 on my iPod Touch. The sleep timer, which I have never had a problem with, doesnt work correctly, and the app will stay on. Hopefully this bug can be squashed when the developers update it. This is such a wonderful app, and the sleep timer is necessary for me.

I really love this app. Its a totally logical extension of Brian Enos ambient music theories and methodologies for the 21st century. In addition, Im a lifelong insomniac and since Ive been listening to this in bed, Ive been falling asleep considerably faster than usual. (FWIW, I slept restlessly with it playing all night. The sleep timer came in handy.) My one significant complaint though: I read about Trope in the iPhone edition of the music mag The Wire. However, when I try to open the magazine (in Newsstand) while Trope is playing in the background, the mag shuts down the instant after it opens. Trope is the only app that causes the mag to do this. If I could read The Wire and listen to Trope as I go to sleep, Id be REALLY happy.

Eno has been trying to do generative music for 30 years. This app is the realization of his vision. I listen to it through the stereo while doing random things during my day. The sound and parts are tremendous. Its as Eno intended it. Thanks, Brian!

For anybody that was misled by NAPSACKs review, iPhone apps can be loaded on your iPad. I have this app on both of my iPads, it is definitely a keeper.

I dont understand what the fuss is about this app. Other than my first few moves, it seems programmed. Hmm, maybe Im missing something. Ill check online to see if there are better instructions.

Whats worse, it wasnt cheap and does nothing and doesnt even show up in my purchases. There are all these moods you can choose only theyve obviously been deactivated. What a sad mess.

The screen looks awful. Please update!

Hasnt been updated in forever - I love this app
