Essential sleep aid

I can’t sleep without this.. currently “The Passenger” is my favorite.. reminds me of my time traveling overnight on trains… I often play these in the NatureSpace app so I wake up to birds… “Flight” is pretty effective without being jarring.. the feature to fade in / out the sounds with a custom timing helps here.
Nothing compares… If you want a free way to check the app / quality of sounds I recommend downloading the free NatureSpace app and the previews..

Best app ever for train fans

They say dont use the first one for sleep bc of the loud train horns but i love it so much i play it over some speakers so my room shakes and i fall straight asleep

Love It!

I got this app because I saw where it offered more train sounds. And I like them all. I go to sleep very easy with this. Thank you.

I paid money for six (6) train sounds.

Could’ve went to YouTube for this. Waste of money.

Very well done

I love this app! Perfect for falling asleep. I use the “Force Times Mass” track for that purpose (even though it’s not recommended), because personally, I *need* the sound of train horns to feel fully immersed in the experience. I’ve logged over 70,000 long distance miles on passenger rail, and the sound of the horn, railroad crossing signals, etc overnight has never kept me from falling asleep—on the contrary, they are the difference between feeling like you’re actually on a train versus just another white noise app. So...if you do add more sounds (and I really hope you will), how about adding some more tracks filled with different train horns for those of us who love them? Please?

Even if you don’t add any more tracks, this is still a 5-star app, and that’s what I’m rating it. Hope you’ll continue to expand it and add to it!

Good for background ambiance

Great little collection of train sounds / settings / situations. Very realistic and provide a nice ambiance. I use as a background when reading or chilling out. I also like that you can play these sounds at the same time as others from the Naturespace and Iceland sounds apps.

Missing track

I bought this because the Serpentine sample said it was included with the Railfan collection. It is not. Huge disappointment!

Nice tracks

Great tracks for studying and sleeping

Love the sounds

I bought this to block out background noise at work. I love the 3D effects and the sounds of trains are soothing and not glaringly repetitive (in a short playback loop). The only suggestion I would make is that it does not run in the background. I would love to hear it in the background while playing an audiobook for example.

Love love love!

Love this app. A very usable thing indeed. Wonderfuly accessible with VoiceOver. Love when devs make their apps like that even if they never thought of it in the first place. You guys deserve a 10-star rating. Keep up the fabulicious work!!!!!!!!
