Description
Biophilia is an extraordinary and innovative multimedia exploration of music, nature and technology by the musician Björk. Comprising a suite of original music and interactive, educational artworks and musical artifacts, Biophilia is released as ten in-app experiences that are accessed as you fly through a three-dimensional galaxy that accompanies the album’s theme song Cosmogony. All of the album’s songs are available inside Biophilia as interactive experiences: Crystalline, Virus, Moon, Thunderbolt, Sacrifice, Mutual Core, Hollow, Solstice, and Dark Matter.
Björk has collaborated with artists, designers, scientists, instrument makers, writers and software developers to create an extraordinary multimedia exploration of the universe and its physical forces, processes and structures - of which music is a part. Each in-app experience is inspired by and explores the relationships between musical structures and natural phenomena, from the atomic to the cosmic. You can use Biophilia to make and learn about music, to find out about natural phenomena, or to just enjoy Björk’s music.
Biophilia opens into a three-dimensional galaxy with a compass allowing navigation between the 3-dimensional universe and a two-dimensional track list. Take a closer look by tapping on stars within the constellations and you’ll see that each is an in-app purchase that gives access to the inspired combination of artifacts for each new Björk song: interactive art and games, music notation which can be used to sing along karaoke-style, abstract animations, lyrics, and essays that explore Björk’s inspirations for the track. These artifacts bring together conventional and alternative ways of representing and making music to create an environment for entertainment and learning. Biophilia challenges the way we think about music. Here, for the first time, is a music album that exploits the multimedia capabilities of mobile interactive technologies.
Biophilia was developed by Björk in collaboration with interactive artist and app developer Scott Snibbe, and Björk's longtime design collaborators M/M Paris. The individual apps were created by Luc Barthelet, Drew Berry, Kodama Studios, Stephen Malinowski, Scott Snibbe Studio, John Simon Jr., Touch Press, and Max Weisel.
Features:
• Three-dimensional galactic interface with the song Cosmogony
• Nine song apps available as in-app purchases
• Music scores with karaoke playback
• Abstract song animation
• Lyrics
• Essays
• MIDI out to drive instruments

ArtemisiaS,
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.

1.4 Update:what special offer for those who paid twice?
1.5 update- what's the point to pre-existing users? We're still ripped off for being early adopters, now another update that does nothing to balance this inequity? What a joke! This update just makes it easier for those who are buying now, & who gives a toss about about who paid nearly twice for the same? Not the developers, that's for sure. Thanks for that! Really cool of you!
Update: this review pertains to the 1.4 update in particular. I have no problems w/ the app other than paying for the 1st 4 songs then paying for the full album. This update mentions some 'special offer' for those early adopters such as myself who basically paid twice for the same thing. I have yet to see anything in the app that refences any 'bonus' and I'm wondering if anyone else has? It's one thing to know I've paid twice for the material, but to later promise a bonus and not come through is kind of like opening a healed wound, then throwing salt in it. Am I missing something? If they're not gonna' give this 'special offer' to early adopters, why bring it up & remind us of how we got burnt in the first place? My rating still stands but I don't understand why the empty promises on top of charging us almost twice?
And I mean gone! So I have one question: on the left under Top In-App Purchases there are 2, 1 for Crystalline and 1 to pre-purchase all. Does anyone know how to pre-purchase all? I've looked all around & haven't found a way yet.

Whitetygrr,
I love bjork
First I bought the cd....well actually first I fell in love with her back in the late 80s when the sugar cubes was on SNL then I bought each of her solo albums as they were released along with singles videos movies bootlegs. I purchased the actual cd first but eventually bought the app a few months ago and definately unlike some of the other reviewers I do not regret it. Like her music I am still learning and hearing something new when I open it up. This is not really something that you can expect to get full satisfaction from on the first couple times you play with it which is a good thing cos what would be the point afterwards. I think it was a great purchase and every time I go on it it takes me to another galaxy as intended.....oh it's also cool as hell if you smokin some good green!
Jonmight,
My kids love this app
So the mom in the house is the Björk fan. Download the app. It’s novel, fun, and neat to have from a fan’s perspective. Enjoyed it for a while, but it’s a rather large app, so we’re thinking we’ll take this app off to make room for other apps. No, not happening. My kids love this app. No sooner do I think “ok, the kids have had their fill of this app, I’ll go remove it” then do I find the kids listening to Björk while huddled around the iPad playing this app. So it stays. We have six kids, and I have seen kids ranging in age from 2 years to 9 years enjoy this app (our oldest is 9, so I can’t speak from experience beyond that, but I imagine our oldest will continue to enjoy this app even when he turns 10).

Crashes and Glitches
While I love the Biophilia album and the concept of this app, I have had continual crashes, often when switching activities and noticed the app glitches OFTEN if playing Crystalline for too long, making it unplayable. I will say that my first run through this app definitely stirred emotions in me, and it was a really cool experience overall. The scores and animations are a very nice added bonus. The replay ability though for a 13 dollar app is weak, sadly. I still love this app and don't regret finally picking it up but for 13 bucks this thing should run better than what it does...
kvnox,
Love it, except...
I would like the tracks to be "purchased" on iTunes as a result of buying the app. Seems strange to pay again for the actual audio tracks.
At least enable background music playing and a simple playlist so I can listen with my screen off and without using extra GPU and battery.
Dropped a star as a result of these issues.

Visionary
This app as a conceptual art piece / galactic experience / sound installation / virtual hang out realm is one of the coolest ways anyone has ever released an album!
It is a beautiful realm in which one can immerse themselves in sound an explore different song realms. Hope I’m not spoiling it for you...
People complaining about in app purchases, or early adopters paying more, I mean you are supporting one of the most visionary artists of our time, so to be haggling over a few dollars seems pretty ridic!

derrald segue,
Bjork is the best
I have been a fan for over 20 years saw her when the sugarcubes was touring with new order nothing that her musical genius disappoints but the one thing that does is I just wanted to listen to the cd all the way though I purchased on ITunes most nights I listen to the goddess falling asleep with my headphones on had to purchase cd to listen without having to navigate but besides that 5 stars voice so beautiful touches a deep part of my soul
AdamMalice,
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!
Game_P0N3,
How I do my review you be the judge
The way I my review is that I will add or subtract depending on the score out of 5
The Display: This app has a great presentation,I like the songs you chose especially the quality with headphones and it never lags.5/5
Gameplay: Absolutely love what you guys did with the games ,especially crystalline, but when I'm at the second orange tunnel it glitches and the crystal no longer moves with the beat. Not mention that the animations & scores will make the entire app crash if the loading takes too long. 2/5
The Verdict: This an astonishing app and I really think Björk really out did herself with the graphics, sound quality, and songs
(P.S. also enhance for iPhone five)
