Your music deserves more than a progress bar. Music with Visuals turns your iPhone or iPad into a moving world of color, light, and rhythm. Drift through liquid patterns, dive into cosmic tunnels, or watch waves and particles dance with the beat. Find a look for a quiet evening, a favorite album, or a room full of friends. PICK YOUR SOUND Explore live internet radio across chillout, ambient, electronic, jazz, rock, classical, dance, and more. Save favorite stations, add your own streams or .pls playlists, and hide stations you do not want to hear again. You can also play audio files from your library in the app or use the microphone to react to nearby sound. On iOS and iPadOS 27 or later, Listen to Device Audio lets supported audio from other apps drive the visuals. On iPad, you can also open the Spotify source and select "tripwave" from Spotify on another device on the same local network. The Spotify receiver is available on iPad, not iPhone. TAKE THE SHOW TO YOUR TV Send the visualizer and its audio to compatible AirPlay or Google Cast receivers. Keep the controls on your phone or tablet while the big screen brings the music into the room. Casting requires compatible receiving hardware on the same local network. SAVE A MOMENT WORTH SHARING Record 1080p HDR visualizer videos in portrait or landscape on supported devices, then save or share the result. Recording requires active audio and is available when casting is off. MAKE THE VISUALS YOURS Explore thousands of presets, save the ones you love, and use Queue All to build a visual playlist from your favorites. Switch scenes yourself or let the automatic-change timer take over. Known strobing presets are hidden by default; Pro settings let you choose to show them. Highlights: - Full-screen visuals that respond to the music - AirPlay and Google Cast streaming to compatible receivers - 1080p HDR video recording on supported devices - Live radio, audio-file playback, and microphone mode - Device-audio visualization on iOS and iPadOS 27 or later - Spotify receiver on iPad - Saved visualizations, Queue All, and automatic scene changes - No app account or registration required Press play. Find your world. Share the show.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DreamLive Pro at none against TripWave's 1. DreamLive Pro also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
