Hmmmmmmm
Well, it took me two years to figure out how to get this to work and it is very cool when it works. For some reason I don’t get those little fragments to tap onto to begin. I just get a blank screen with the open slot on the right after the opening credits. I tap, press, nothing happens. Finally I started tipping it upside down, flipping it side to side and then one of the fragments appeared that I could tap on. Then it is quite magical, until the portal closes, then I’m back to the same blank screen and I can’t always get it to respond a second time. It feels like some magical portal where all the circumstances have to be just perfect. Frustrating but enchanting when it works.

HELP
Instructions don’t work. Developer website is in French only. One box of frustrations so just skip this.
wasted opportunity
Drab, repetitive, irritating.
Amazing!
My new most favorite App! So amazing! Would love to see something else made like this by the developers?!
Bravo
I am mesmerized. It reminds me of Peter Greenaway and Tom Phillips' TV Dante.
Not good
What on earth is this about. Art!? Where? I persevered a few times but couldn't get it to do anything so got bored and deleted it. Now I am open to the principal of such apparent projects/ apps but if it is this inaccessible without instructions that make it work then what is the point? Time is precious and I am not about to waste mine on some indulgence where the ap is deliberately difficult to access. Maybe it is great when it works but life is too short for this so no thanks!!!

Well worth the time and effort
In the world of the, 'I ignore the instructions, unwrap it for me, I need to know what it does now', mentality this piece may have trouble finding an audience. But that would be great pity, because it really does reward spending some time understanding how it works.
I say piece, because, blow me down - it's art, and it's truly interactive because meaning is only created through your active participation. It's not a toy or a puzzle or a game. It's not an 'app'. What it is, I suppose, is an installation, brought to your lap; to enjoy on the train, at the kitchen table or in bed.
A little stimulation for your own dream-machine.

Best app of its type I've seen
This is musical, artistic and dreamlike. It pulls off the whole thing of app as art form much better than I've seen in other apps. It provides a great benchmark and starting point for more. It is very gallery-like. Highly recommend.
