   Excellent application. Annoying developer.. I have had this out for years and it is a great app. As of late, the developer has tried to make us buy updates and has harassed us for opinions over and over. I bought the app. Leave me alone.

2. ★★★★★sound quality and realism

   Meh. The sound gourd in and out. Seems intentional but it’s highly distracting.

3. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

   Annoying asking for reviews. It kept annoyingly asking for reviews and purchases even before I had the chance to test it for the first time! How does it make any sense for a user to pay for app and review it even before testing it? There you go, my review.

4. ★★★★★sound quality and realism

   Low quality. I have compared with other nature sound apps… this one has faint sounds of people talking and it wierds me out. I thought I was losing my mind, until I tried a different nature app. It sounds like someone recorded these sounds with a microphone, and had background activity/ conversations going on at same time.

5. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

   Ads don’t go away when ya pay. Just today -for some odd reason, ads started showing up. Guess I’ll fo if it’ll be rectified, nmw, rectification is coming no one can escape it

6. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

   Nothing of note here. All the free features are just noise. There is nothing soothing here. Each repetitive loop becomes invasive in your head and all you want to do is end it. Peaceful sounds does not describe this app

7. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

   Should be taken down.. Advertise one price charged another complete scam.

8. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

   $35.99 was stolen out of my bank account yesterday.. $35.99 was stolen out of my bank account yesterday. this is an unauthorized charged and I expect a refund immediately. no warning was given & then the consumer is left powerless to do anything about it. Dr. A

   Why advertise rain with thunder in the distance?. So the preview has rain with thunder in the distance. Where is the thunder. I just have rain. Please fix so I will change the rating to 5 stars. I love thunder and rain together. Please do what your preview advertised. Thank you.

10. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

    Annoying. The fact that sounds that use to be free are no longer is annoying. Deleting app and finding another one.

11. ★★★★★sound quality and realism

    Can’t recommend due to noise pollution. The most important thing with an app like this is that the sound is pure. With at least three of the soundscapes I can hear background noise after using my EarPods for any amount of time. It’s incredibly faint but it’s there. And once you hear it you can’t I hear it. And it loops so often (after a few seconds) that it’s all you can hear! A dog barking in one? Music in another? It’s therefore not fit for purpose.

12. ★★★★★sound quality and realism

    The loop is to short. The recorded loop seems to be about 6-8 seconds long very easy to hear the pattern. Not very helpful to fall asleep .

13. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    Soothing sounds. I love using this app, I use every night for my white noise. The four selections are really lovely. I especially like being able to select the amount of hours I’d like for it to play. And at the end of the time the nature sound just fades away, it doesn’t just stop abruptly.

14. ★★★★★timer and background playback

    Intermittent. I have had this app for about a month and I loved it, but Monday when I turned it on it only stayed on 30 seconds to a minute with the timer set for 30 minutes. Tuesday it worked as it should after doing that for about 10 minutes, Wednesday it did the same thing and again this morning, I’m glad I didn’t pay for any of the sounds. I hate to have to find a different app because this one was perfect, but that is what I’ll be doing today. 😩

15. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    The use of natural sounds are under rated.. This app desperately needs a wider selection or diversified input frogs,elk,loons,insects for example. This is a handy little app though!🌴🎋🌲🌳🦉🐒🐺🐸🐞🐳🐆🦌🍄🐿🌝

16. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    Brilliant, but.... This was my go-to soundscape app. "Rain distant thunder" was perfect. Worth five stars (to me) for that one sound. But since the update, it is nowhere to be found, replaced by "Rain gentle patter". Oh well.

17. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    Soundscapes. This app is really good but sometimes I wish that it had more sounds. Also it just keeps repeating its self so I never hear a different rhythm plus it just stays the same.

18. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    Multiple Sound Scapes. This was an ok app. However when mixing certain sounds, the app seems to want to merge the sound to the same key or tone(idk if I’m using the correct words) it is weird and almost counter intuitive.

19. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    Nice, but slightly disappointed.. The sound quality is great! There are some beautiful sounds here. I was disappointed, though, that there weren’t more sounds with the upgraded version., or any way to mix sounds and save in a library. Hopefully the app will grow and develop as time passes.

20. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    Just ok for me. It was just ok for me. Sounds were soothing, but it only has one type of rain, one type of ocean waves etc. Could be better with variations in each category. The additional sounds available for $0.99 didn’t really add any value for me. The only one that I found pleasant and relaxing was the campfire. All others: cave, morning and others had a heavy somewhat eerie tone or feel to them that I personally didn’t find relaxing. It’s a free app, so check it out. You may love it. I’m going to keep shopping for something I like better. Would love “calm”, but would never pay $60/year for any app.

21. ★★★★★pushy popups and billing issues

    Strange ads. I was hoping to relax to the nature sounds as I enjoyed a view of the forest picture...and then an ad for a circumcision clinic ad pops up! That is anything BUT relaxing :(

22. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    Sound quality. At first it sounded like loud fuzz to me, but I listened again and the sounds are amazing you only get a few free but it is enough!

23. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    No Bluetooth Compatibility. I want to run this through my Bluetooth speaker and it doesn't work...

24. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    I use it all the time. 4 stars I ment to put five andit helps if u need white noise :)

25. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    This app helps me tremendously to think about my ideas and plan my day.. Thank you to Nick, the creator, for making this app. It helps me balance my emotions and brings a new perspective to my day. I appreciate you Nick!

26. ★★★★★want more sounds and features

    Nice sound quality. Great nature sounds, quality is excellent and clear, no talking , no commercials, doesn’t end till I stop it myself, it’s perfect, would love even more choices of rain like thunderstorms, soft rain, heavy rain without thunder, thanks for this terrific product!!

27. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    Ocean. Like the ocean sound the best. Then the calm.

28. ★★★★★helps with sleep and anxiety

    Beautiful, relaxing sounds that loop all night. I have this app for Apple TV. I use it every night, listening to the brown noise. I started using it because my father is hard of hearing, and his TV would keep me awake. The brown noise is perfect for drowning out low to mid tones. I have never cared for noises that ebb and flow like ocean waves, so I was very grateful to find the brown noise. The only thing that kept me from five stars is that sometimes when I wake up to pee, the brown noise is crackly and weird sounding. This morning I muted my TV for a few moments, unmuted, and the noise was still corrupted, but after I paused the app for a few seconds, it was okay. Not sure what that is, but it wakes me up sometimes.

29. ★★★★★timer and background playback

    Masking Sound. Easy to use with excellent quality audio samples. Helps mask noise. Like the timer.

    Can’t do without this. I used to have a very hard time falling asleep. I put on the Rain and time for 2 hours. I feel relaxed and comfortable hearing the rain fall. I fall asleep quicker I think, don’t honestly know because I’m asleep instead of tossing and turning. I would like to hear thunderstorms also. I’m weird, but it does at times help me fall asleep too.
