User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★ Beautiful sleep aid / zen game.
As stated above.
★★★★★ Amazing!
Eno has been trying to do generative music for 30 years. This app is the realization of his vision. I listen to it through the stereo while doing random things during my day. The sound and parts are tremendous. It's as Eno intended it. Thanks, Brian!
★★☆☆☆ Doesn't work
I don't understand what the fuss is about this app. Other than my first few moves, it seems programmed. Hmm, maybe I'm missing something. I'll check online to see if there are better instructions.
★★★★★ Love it
Warm, therapeutic, adult play, and--why not kids? They'd love it even if attention span would keep it short.
Opens creative doors--the simplicity and perhaps even limited or focused direction of these glorious Eno apps are an asset, not a limitation.
★★★☆☆ Lovely app, lately afflicted by a bug

Trope is, along with Bloom and Reflection, a wonderful collaboration between Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers, fusing Eno's ideas about "generative music" with the computing power and portability of iOS devices. Compared to Bloom, Trope is more flowing though perhaps a bit darker.
Unfortunately, as of iOS 10 this app seems to have developed a bug that speeds up the sleep timer and may also affect playback. While I recommend all these Eno/Chilvers apps very strongly, I'd suggest waiting for this to
