Favorite Purely Ambient App
This Brian Eno app is ideal for relaxing — think needing music without needing to focus on songs tracks or albums. It’s infinite. Just turn it on & it goes until you pause it. I EXCLUSIVELY choose to play the piano version without the layered voices. It seems to be more focused. Thanks Opal Limited!!

Good app, but could be better
For starters, I’m not so sure if it’s appropriate for me to give a three-star review to this App, since it does all it’s promised, and for people who are fans of ambient music - myself included - it’s more than satisfactory for the price.
But for musicians and producers, there are some lacking elements, and indicting for that may not be fair given that the Eno apps aren’t explicitly made for their purposes.
Air was the cheapest of those, and because I couldn’t find any technical specs, I gambled and gave it a shot for the price in hopes that I would be able to tell whether I could use the others, and unfortunately, it falls short for producers for a couple of reasons.
The first is lack of IAA or AuV3 support. With one or both of these elements, there would be no doubt of a five-star rating because it would mean that the live sounds could be patched through the universe of iOS effects available in real-time, ensuring the ultimate sonic experience.
But the second issue is that - as far as I can tell - there is no way of capturing the sound other than patching it live to a recording device, which is awkward and needless given the state of recording apps today. Mind you, I stress: the Eno apps are not expressly for those purposes, but I don’t think it would be much of a stretch to add those features.
For those music-makers who do seek ambience-creating apps with IAA support, try Moodscaper, Guitarscaper, Pianoscaper, and Cosm (they don’t work with Audiobus as of this writing; you will need AUM, but you will still be able to patch through FX and record).

Beautiful
"Air" takes the graceful, smooth vocals and pianos of Music for Airports and turns it into a never-ending soundscape that retains the mastery of Brian Eno's original Ambient series. A masterpiece of generative music.
Music for Airports e' il modello, Air va oltre
Se ami Music for Airports questo Air ti fa' volare sul serio. For talented listeners!
Simply beautiful
So impressed and loving the Reflection App decided this was also worth a try. So calming to listen too. Helps me wind down and take away the days stress. Use the sleep function to send me every night into blissful dreamy land of nod.
