I love the pictures and I’d love to listen to the natural sounds but the music ruins it. Can you please let us choose to turn the music off? I can listen to "natural earth" but "nature sounds"contains music 😞 Thank you so much. ### 2/5 — AI pictures and sounds *2026-02-24, version 18.0.1* This app, while free, uses a bunch of AI photos. If they're using AI photos, the sounds are probably AI as well. It's such a shame because the Fabulous app had great human-made art in the beginning at least. ### 4/5 — Found the sound *2026-02-10, version 17.0.1* I will be honest, I have not explored the app a whole lot that’s because the first sound I picked has become my go to Ambiance all the time. It’s the perfect fit. I do wish I could cast the Ocean Sounds onto my Wi-Fi speakers, but I guess that’s a trade-off of always on in the background versus actively playing in the foreground. I don’t know that I would pay for it individually, but as an add-on that comes free with the Fabulous premium, it feels like the perk that it is. ### 3/5 — Whole thing is A.I. Generated. *2026-01-30, version 17.0.1* Could use some more features like a sleep timer. It’s a fine enough ambience app and I like the range of ambiences, but after some inspection I found that everything was made with generative A.I.. I don’t support generative A.I. and uninstalled the app immediately, but to each their own. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-27, version 17.0.1* I use this app nightly. Lots of choices for different things. ### 5/5 — Wonderful sounds, app needs a few tweaks *2026-01-02, version 17.0.1* Just got it and I’m impressed. There are fantastic and varied soundscapes that transport and calm you. I particularly like the coffee shop, speakeasy and other background sounds. While the app has beautiful illustrated tiles for each atmosphere, it needs two things to make it much better: personal favorites and collections. Allow users to favorite their most-loved sounds, and build their own lists like “For sleep” or “nature.” ### 5/5 — Truly FREE!! *2025-12-24, version 16.0.1* Absolutely LOVE!! 100% FREE as stated, couldn’t hardly believe it but it is! Lots of great sounds without interruption. I use this app daily!!!! ### 5/5 — Sound app *2025-12-08, version 16.0.1* Great app for sleeping or working ### 5/5 — Music relaxation *2025-11-05* Ur sleeping within five mins **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that the music relaxation feature is helping you unwind so quickly! Your positive experience motivates us to keep enhancing the app. Thank you for sharing your feedback.

The variety and creativity of these pieces is not easily matched. I would highly recommend it for anyone seeking to set the appropriate atmosphere for whatever they want to fully invest into. ### 5/5 — Love!! *2025-10-07, version 14.0.1* I love these apps!! ### 4/5 — Need a timer *2025-10-01, version 14.0.1* Would be better to have a timer function so the music does not have to play the whole night. ### 5/5 — so generous and beautiful I wish it never stopped playing! *2025-09-07, version 13.2.1* I really appreciate the diverse selection of ambient worlds!! I only wish that the sound would continue to play while scrolling through the other sounds, and that it wouldn’t stop upon reentering the app while I’ve been working on another app—just keep the ambience flowing! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Uses AI *2026-06-21, version 21.0.1* The app uses AI. I know they use it for the photos but I am not sure if they use it for the ambience. Either way, the app serves what it said. ### 1/5 — Predatory billing practices - do not get *2026-04-07, version 18.1.1* I still have not been able to unsubscribe. It has been months. You can’t call and messaging them has had no answer for many people. I keep getting charged monthly. I cannot see them pop up on my app subscriptions in my phone and on the website there is no option to unsubscribe. You can cancel your account, but that will continue charging. I followed all the instructions online and still cannot unsubscribe. ### 1/5 — FRAUD ALERT *2026-04-03, version 18.1.1* This company charges for nonexistent subscriptions!! Total scam ### 1/5 — Shady *2026-02-23, version 17.0.1* There is no where to cancel this app! I thought I cancelled before my trial period ended and they charged me! ### 1/5 — Money hungry *2026-02-07* This app looks cool and is geared towards people who are probably feeling quite vulnerable. The costs are astronomical and the app is confusing - in my view deliberately. **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. We strive to create valuable content that requires investment in content creation and development. If the app doesn't meet your needs, we respect your decision. Your insights help us improve.

I’d love the ability to remove the background music and just listen to the ambient soundscapes. As a professional consort singer, I can’t necessarily switch off to background music! It also seems that the app’s artwork is perhaps AI-generated, which is disappointing. On that note, the piece I previewed in the classical music room sounded really synthesised rather than played by actual humans on real instruments… ### 1/5 — FABULOUS STOP DEBITING MY ACCOUNT! NOW! *2025-11-01, version 15.0.1* FABULOUS STOP DEBITING MY ACCOUNT! NOW! I can’t even imagine how unbelievably helpful an app would have to be to pay $40 a month for it. I have no ongoing subscriptions for any of your products. STOP DEBITING MY ACCOUNT! NOW! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-07-13* All of the white noises are short loops of a very short white noise that gets obvious and annoying very fast ! **Developer response:** We understand how important a seamless experience with our white noise feature is. We appreciate your feedback and are continually working to enhance our offerings. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

After last update, sound will play while app is active, but stops when phone is locked. Also, the screenshots in App Store show a time bar, does that mean it is no longer infinite or will length of time be adjustable. AND STOP REPLYING TO GO TO THE WEBPAGE IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THE STOPPING. FIX IT ### 1/5 — Cuts off *2025-02-28, version 10.1.1* Only plays a couple of minutes, then shuts off ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Soundscapes that suit *2026-08-21, version 22.1.1* This is the first place I have found different soundscapes that help me focus on various tasks. I don’t use it for sleep but to help quiet my mind to focus on the task in hand whether studying, reading or crafting mindfully. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-07-07, version 21.0.1* This app helps me and my Uncle sleep. We both use Stormy Serenade. This app is recommended for everyone in my opinion. Developers yall did a great job on this app and thank yall for making the app ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-02, version 21.0.1* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Better sleep *2026-06-26, version 21.0.1* It’s so easy to find a sound that makes you feel comfortable and block out unwanted noises. Sleep better tonight! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-23, version 21.0.1* Amazing selection, I do recommend, although more fantasy, sci-fi/ciberpunk ambience would be great, still 5 stars👌👍 ### 5/5 — Can’t live without *2026-06-07* I had forgotten what calm felt like- luckily these guys reminded me! **Developer response:** We're thrilled to hear that our app has brought a sense of calm back into your life! It's wonderful to know that we've been a part of your journey. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us.

Productivity increased ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-02-14, version 17.0.1* These are absolutely beautiful sounds that truly take you to another world. I highly recommend. If you experience anxiety and need to relax or find that escape from the overwhelm of your mind and or life this ap is exactly what you need! 6 stars . I do with you can save all your sounds in a favorites file . That would be my only suggestion. ### 5/5 — Pure heaven *2026-02-09, version 17.0.1* With everything having a price or some type of cost. This app literally is free. The sound quality is deep and clear. The choices help one not just enjoy a peaceful day, deep meditation or prayer that keeps one in a loving connection with Yahweh. But you can tell that these creators took their time and chose to place detail in all the variations of music here. Thank you, coming from a sound therapists, producer of two albums and a musician for my entire life. Awesome! 🙏🏼😇🥳❤️💚🌼🦋🙏🏼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
