Bloom: 10 Worlds

Not only does this not work in the background, it won’t play via AirPlay either, so unless you physically plug it in you’ll have the settle with listening through your iPad speakers.

Wow, going into their code and checking a box for adding background play only took 2.5 months. Review improved to 3 stars as a result. A nice revisit of Bloom, but absolutely pales next to the scope and ambition of Scape, which I honestly thing may be Brian Eno's most impressive work of all.

I put on my headphones start a cool tune then enjoy reading stuff on my device with awesome meditation sounds in the back ... Totally recommend getting this app... Thank you for the great update.

Update: it now plays in the background. Thank you very much, developers! It now feels like a nice little ambient audio experiment while I do other things on my iPhone, which is lovely. Thank you. It makes some nice tranquil sounds I would like to listen to without staring at the screen, but the playback halts immediately when app goes to background. Including when in autoplay and timer mode, no background audio possible! The developer’s website states that all heir apps support background p

I love this app. The added richness over the original Bloom app really makes for great listening and playing. I enjoy that each “world” is revealed only after you’ve experienced the prior ones. It’s a nice touch that encourages listening over “world surfing”. The app is not for everyone but for folks who enjoy pleasant background sounds -not to mention the ability to create your own music - it’s quite worthwhile.
