Make music using the Bloom app

Bloom (£3.99) Create or listen to calming music with colourful visuals. The app is very intuitive and doesn’t require strong motor skills. Just touching the screen is enough to make a sound colour. Because the sounds and colours repeat and fade gaps in interactions are filled naturally and gently.

Good for: This would be a good app for a calm activity for one or even two or more people taking it in turns to play and sharing the screen.
