Sleep Sounds: Nature & Ambient
authentic ratingPeople mix storms with piano or fire with ocean for years and cannot sleep without it, for some it is a lifeline on the hardest nights. What angers them most is the ads: loud clips hit on launch and exit of an app meant to put you to sleep. The second blow is the shift to a subscription and locking sounds that were free for years, plus people who made a one-time purchase are forced to pay again after an update. They often ask for a way to save the mixes they create.
Very vivid and personal reviews: a woman falls asleep to a storm after losing her husband and son, someone masks the noise in their head with a storm and piano mix. The gap between textAvg 4.56 and storeAvg 4.7 is tiny, criticism is specific (a dog barking in a forest recording), no inflation.
