  • Love the app but I wish there was a timer

    First I just want to say that this is a great app! Especially since they made all of the tracks available to everyone. One thing I wish there could be is a sleep timer of some sort. I’ve seen it on other apps, and I feel like it would just be so useful.

    Thanks for the feedback! Look for a sleep timer in the near future!
  • These are just the right background noises

    There are tons of rainfall etc apps which are fine, but with all this staying home more I needed familiar background sounds and these are spot on. Sounds of a cafe, restaurant, jazz club, outdoor market, I play different ones at different times of the day. I love music and podcasts but so,trimesters I just want to remember normal life.

  • reconnecting

    As a disabled person I love the way your app, when I close my eyes, virtually transports me back into life and around the world... It’s relaxing and fun! More! PLEASE!!!
    More places (cities, markets, rainforests, remote beaches), lots of unique weather options (thunderstorms, etc...), fictional fun (ambient star trek bridge sounds), I’m sure you’ve got plenty of ideas so I’ll stop... But this medium is as transformative as a book, a movie, or a performance — love this idea! :)

    We're so happy you're enjoying Ambients! We will continue to add more and please continue to let us know your ideas! We love the idea of adding fictional soundscapes, look for it in the future!
  • This app was such a good idea!

    Really love this app and the way it gives you a genuine sound that puts you in the atmosphere! I love using it when I’m reading or even going to bed!

    I would love a forest or woodsy outdoor sound too! I just moved from a very forest/woods filled state to a beach state and I would love to hear some of those earthy tones again!

  • meh

    • Bought on a whim, but sound tracks are only 8-9 minutes each.

    • Effectiveness of sound-loops can be increased dramatically if they used at least 20-minute long loops (or longer), because people start remembering song patterns, especially for short songs.

    • Also, songs should not have particularly recognizable portions of audio, otherwise it kills any effectiveness of the looping. Just increase length of track to 30 minutes or longer to avoid this issue. Or have an audio engineer mix and remix the audio — you can easily create an unrecognizable 30+ minute loop out of splices of a full 10 minute loop....

    • I don’t know why more soundscape apps don’t have longer tracks. We don’t need more tracks, we just need *longer* tracks per track.

    • Other Quality of life issues:

    1) On ipad, can’t move the app into a split-screen panel frame on the left or right or hidden drawer panel; only full-screen is enabled.

    2) Can’t hide the track progress bar on the bottom or current time of track. Annoying for those who want to keep the app focused on the screen, since may start mapping track timings to audio patterns or get unfocused because keep watching the timer bar getting close to the end.

    3) At least have an audio engineer mix the end of each track so that when it loops back, you don’t have to fade the audio in and out and its just a seamless loop of audio.

    We appreciate the feedback. We plan to address all of these issues in future releases, we hope you will stick around to see!
  • Amazing!

    Great app to use if you need some background noise while studying! :)
  • Calming

    I use this app to quiet my mind and help me fall asleep. I absolutely love it! Great interface and easy to use!
  • Missing cast feature

    If i could cast this to an echo or google home device, I would buy all the sounds and give it 5 stars. But not worth it to only play through phone or headphones.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for the feedback; there is currently only the option to airplay to apple devices, so I understand your frustration. Please be on the look out for this feature in a couple months!
  • Great tracks!

    Long enough to not notice loops.
    Great for helping the isolated re-create social settings.

    Thanks for the support!
  • Brings back the public feel without the COVID masks

    I miss the days(already) of the sense of freedom to spontaneously go to public locations without the worry of where my mask is. At least during COVID lockdowns, I am able to simulate those environments with the HD quality background of the days that once was.
    4/5 stars as I hoped to also have more environmental backgrounds like maybe sporting events or rainfall/thunder under different rooftops(barn, car, jungle)
