10 years later…

And this app is still amazing. While it doesn’t fill the whole screen…it’s still incredibly fun and sounds even better now on an iphone 12 max. Oh and Björk is queen. She really is.

Once beautiful, no sound.

Ten years ago when my son was about 2, I downloaded this app because I’m a big Bjork fan. This app was amazing and beautiful, visually stunning, amazing and interactive in a way I had never seen before. My son would always play this app, and it proved a great distraction from when mommy was pregnant with his future sister and he would come with me to all the doctors appointments, and I would bring my iPad with me so he could use the Bijork app. I originally downloaded it on an iPad Air that no longer functions today.

I was reminiscing about the app with my husband and thought I’d try downloading it again, even though apparently it had last been updated three years ago. Unfortunately, the sound, which is integral to this app, does not work on my iPhone (I currently have an iPhone 11).

I hope that one day Bijork can bring this back so we can once again enjoy it.

Thank you for all of your amazing music and innovations over the years.

Wonderful app but still needs fixes!

I used this app for my old devices and it worked perfectly, but there are still some flaws for using this app on the iPhone X. The score compositions are still buggy with everything being flattened or rather super stretched. Please do an update! Other than that, everything else works!

Interesting, But...

The sound does not work...

Magical Interactive Art

Reflecting notions of omnipotent observation witnessing ones place in the macrocosm and microcosm echoing a spiritual point of departure while allowing interaction and creation with visual, musical and touch sensations this app is exhilarating and relaxing piquing intrigue and curiosity while soothing the nerves.
