## What is Ambi?

Ambi is an algorithmic noise generator designed to aid relaxation and concentration by masking extraneous background noise. Unlike many apps that use repetitive audio loops, Ambient generates an ever-changing mix of white, brown, pink, and water noise that is always unique. The mix can be adjusted manually by dragging the sphere on the mix screen or randomized automatically by enabling ‘Motion’. Reverb can be added to increase the sense of depth, while the 8-band graphic equalizer allows you to sculpt the audio to your taste. An in-app purchase unlocks access to the built-in timer and the ability to create user presets, allowing you to save your favorite EQ, reverb, and motion settings.

### 1/5 — Update

*2025-05-17, version 2.1*

The ambi app has been great for years. But now it only plays for a couple of minutes before stopping and prompting you to upgrade to the paid version, making this version suddenly useless.

### 5/5 — Simple. Perfect.

*2024-11-09*

I’ve used this for years to help draw my mind away from worry and get to sleep. It’s also great to mask background noise when it’s Focus Time.

### 5/5 — Neat Design, Works great

*2023-11-30*

The ball bouncing around as a randomizer is pretty cool feature. The mixing works well, but I usually just use it for the brown noise alone. The only complaint would be to speed up the loading time and get that sweet healing brown noise injected right into my veins!!! Sheeeeesh*SHHHSHSHSHSHHHHHHHSHSH*

### 4/5 — ADHD user might want watch version

*2023-06-19, version 1.9*

I love the app, but I'd like to use it without my phone handy, via my watch. Could that be a thing?

Otherwise a fabulous app, it's beautiful and easy to use and very calming

### 1/5 — Confused.

*2023-01-05*

I bought the “full feature set” and cannot access the features. It tells me to buy again after attempting to set the timer, for instance…I tried purchasing it again assuming I’d get a notification that I had “already purchased” the upgrade but was charged twice. Please advise.

**Developer response:** Please make sure you are using the latest version (1.9) or get in touch at mmsupport@mellowmuse.com so we can assist you.

### 2/5 — Update not so effective

*2022-12-01*

I’ve been using ‘purple’ Ambi for a few years now and updated to the new version a few days ago - which I regret doing. The update has removed the simplicity of this app and added features that don’t add value. It no longer generates a simple white noise that helps me sleep. The white noise now has a bubbling sound within it that was not audible before. I can’t get the audio levels to make the same volume of sound, even when using the reverb function. Previously the app would go quiet when my alarm went off, but would automatically start again when I snoozed the alarm - now on alarm Ambi stops and the only way to get it start again is to crash the app, then wait for it to reopen, find my new setting and click play again.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. The audio generation code has not actually been changed at all. Only the mixing code has been enhanced to make it more flexible. If you turn off motion, and move the circle to 9 oclock you have pure white noise,  12 oclock pure brown noise, 3 oclock pure pink noise and 6 oclock pure water noise. Center is a mix of all 4. The water generator has been there since day one, as an intregal part of the sound. The alarm issue you raised will be fixed in the next update. If you are still seeing the reminder after purchase and restarting the device please get in touch via mmsupport@mellowmuse.com.

### 3/5 — Good Static

*2022-04-04*

This app does a great job with various color noise, but seems like it has some potential where a more tonal noise selection might be generated.

### 4/5 — Amazing!

*2021-09-05, version 1.6*

I love this app it is better than white noise, pink noise or brown noise all which hurt my ears! This drowns out external noise and you can put it at a level you are comfortable with - it won’t hurt your ear drums and gives you a good nights rest. Only downside side I find is that it drains your battery.

### 4/5 — Needs dark mode

*2021-06-26*

Manages to still be one of the better noise generators available. I’ve paid for Pro but this app desperately needs a Dark Mode. Please!

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2019-08-23*

Ive trieed all the fancy white noise apps there are. This one is my favorite. Its just simple and the noise is the best, its soft, not so high pitched and staticy like most "noise" apps, and mixes with other apps. The only tthingg I wish was to have option to tturnn off the bubble things so noise was even smoother without that tiny crackling in with it. But its still the smoothest and best one out there. Thankyou!!
