Spectacular — with One Caveat
I have had Scape for close to seven years now, and am still generating my own pieces (140 and counting). Don't be fooled by the price point and abstract nature; if you're looking for vastly expansive soundscape and ambience generation at your fingertips, with the opportunity to save and manage your ideas, this is your ideal creation space. There's really nothing else like it on the App Store.
However…Scape has one potentially major caveat, and it isn't the lack of a proper export function. There have been no updates in any form in over half a decade, and sooner or later it will no longer be supported by future iOS versions. Moreover, I believe that as Scape is both Opal Limited's most ambitious app and is over a decade old, it should be updated to reflect its potential in some way. I mean, Trope just received a symmetry update five months ago, and its existence predates this app.
I don't know who checks these reviews (if anyone), but in sum: Opal Limited has here a unique and innovative work of beauty. Please don't let it gather dust and fade quietly away.

A lifetime is not long enough
This is by far the most 'beautiful' app I have, and you could spend forever exploring all the combinations and possibilities.
I've created some fascinating scapes, and I sincerely hope there's a way to keep this app going - I'd really hate to lose this app in the constant evolution of technology.
I'm giving it 5 stars but if there's any criticisms, there's no way to offload scapes except by emailing them individually and they lose their names in the process.

Crashes on iPad pro 10.4 after latest iOS update
Unusable
Response from developer
Sorry that you're having problems with Scape. We've not had any other reports of this - please can you contact us via the support email address and we'll try and sort it out?
Doesn’t do what it says
It says in the description that this app generates random scapes which is the main reason why I purchased it, because I wanted to listen to random scapes with little or no input from myself. However there doesn’t appear to be any option for this in the app despite looking everywhere. It’s a good app but the description is misleading hence the 3 stars.

Thanks, but...no.
It was a great app when it worked on my older iPad 2. With the updates, it's no longer compatible. I really enjoyed the app, too.
Still as good as ever.
If you like ambient music then this remains the app of choice. While not easily understood it is nonetheless easy to use and creating an album of soothing sounds is as simple as placing images on a background you have chosen from a palette to suit your mood. Allowing infinite tweaking, this app enables you to match and then modify your frame of mind. Enjoy!

no app development
that’s the thorn.
Outstanding!
With plenty to play with, this ambient music app has lots of flexibility. New elements are introduced as one gets used to working with the program, keeping overwhelm at a minimum, fascination at a maximum. In some ways, the best to come out of the Eno-Chilvers partnership to date. We'll done!
Audiobus it!
Audiobus please.
Remarkable
A brilliant app. A must for anyone interested in ambient sounds, whether you choose to interact or simply listen to the scapes included.
