  • Great app to vibe after a doobie

    Bloom goes ohmmmmmm
  • VIBE

    I wouldn’t waste your money on this version as I did it has lost its vibe
    the original version is far superior
  • Generative music in your pocket

    I don’t know if Brian’s hearing is going or mine, but I find some of the sounds in a couple of these ‘worlds’ pretty piercing. That said, this is a great sequel to bloom, with a simpler, more intuitive interface and the ‘play’ function let’s you sit back and enjoy a new palette of music no one has ever heard before - or will again.

  • Massively disappointing

    Unless I’m missing something, there’s no control over any of this: no key selection, no control over the sounds, no control over how the music generates, no control over the length of the notes. So.. it’s pretty but sort of pointless and not really usable in any wider musical context. I would like a refund all in all.

  • Lovely!

    You have outdone yourselves with the visuals on this app! I also like rotating to landscape view for when I want to choose where sounds fall in the stereo field. I only wish I could watch this app on my AppleTV like I’ve done with Reflection, because this one is so aesthetically appealing (I recognize that’s a big ask, as AppleTV maybe doesn’t lend itself to the interactivity that iPhone or iPad offer).

  • Fantastic

    After several months enjoying this app I must pay my respect to the creators Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. I’ve been using this app for various reasons: to get inspiration for a new song, to explore all the possibilities (many), to relax and meditate, to calm my pets. At times I will hit the play button and let AI play for me for hours at length. Of all the 10 Worlds my favorite are Petri, Karabekian and Mull. Some of the sounds are a bit harsh, while others remind me of Tibetan bells and such. Definitely an app to have whether you’re a musician or not.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for your comments. Our purpose with Bloom: 10 Worlds was to create an immersive, engaging experience, rather than a musician utility. To that end, we've intentionally avoided cluttering the app with too many interface elements, and felt that Bloom's 10 Worlds were best experienced without the distraction of countless options. There are many apps on the App Store that cater to musicians creating controlled soundscapes ; ThumbJam immediately springs to mind as a great option. However, I hope you'll find that the Bloom's mixture of simplicity and hidden intricacies prove more engaging if you spend more time with it.
  • Another fine music creation app

    Another fine music creation app. At first I wasn’t sure about it compared to Bloom but once I got into its structure everything clicked into place. Great for relaxing during a lockdown!
  • Needs more base tones

    Would be nice to have a bass world
  • Endless variations

    I am only a few hours into using Bloom but it’s a fascinating app. If you have any interest at all into Eno’s ambient music, I urge you to give Bloom a try.
    The sound choices are vast and the visuals perfectly complement the music.
    Essentially you are generating a note by touching the screen. Said note decays and repeats for a period of time. Choose one or two notes, add to those, use two three or four fingers to get chords almost. Different areas of the screen give you different note choices. It’s endless. 10 different screens to choose as well. All with different musics.
    It’s gorgeous and addictive !!!

  • Great improvement over the previous version

    Digging it. I wish it had an option where the initial composition can evolve throughout all of the worlds (ex: I start in world 1, 5 minutes later the same composition automatically passes into world 2, 5 minutes later the same composition passes into world 3, etc.).
