## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Poor ios version

*2021-10-11*

The android version is far better and has lot of sounds in each categories. This version in apple store is nothing compared to that.

### 1/5 — What happened

*2021-07-06*

This used to be my go to app for relaxation. I could listen to rain on the city streets or a nice thunderstorm and now it’s just blah. All the choices are gone. So sad.

### 3/5 — Ambience

*2025-07-12*

Has been a good app.  But it will turn off by itself.

### 3/5 — One big problem

*2022-11-07*

There’s no way to turn this app really off. Stopping it from playing is the best you can do, and it can start up in your pocket.  To avoid that hazard you must recycle the iPhone. OTOH , it does great background sound.

### 3/5 — Good but it would be nice and 5 star if I could down load more sounds

*2019-04-18*

Five sare if you could add sounds

### 4/5 — Perfect for Relaxing

*2023-04-19*

I love this app. I’ve had it for several years now. I can go to sleep with it and sometimes I play it for my kids. It’s so pleasant. I set it specifically to what I like to listen to and save my setting. Love it!

### 4/5 — Love the rain

*2021-04-11*

There should be a sleep timer :(

### 4/5 — Almost perfect but not quite

*2021-01-13, version 2.00*

This would have got 5 stars if it could be opened with audiobus or AUM. I’ve been asked to create 4 soundscapes for guided meditations earth, air, fire and water and this would have been perfect to bring in sounds whilst recording drifty synths. If this connectivity could be added then I’d happily up this to 5 stars 🤗

### 5/5 — Best ambience app I could find

*2020-08-07*

No blot, no gimmicks just a good app that does exactly what it says simply. Every other ambience app bombarded you with paid trials and adds cutting into the ambience

 Very relaxing. Thank you

### 5/5 — More relaxing than a lovely hot bath

*2019-02-13, version 1.00*

Better than most of the paid for relaxation/meditation/sleep apps. Can combine combinations of sounds to reach that perfect pinnacle of delicious relaxation. I was so relaxed that I just couldn't believe it.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP

*2015-02-04*

For years I've looked for a solution that would allow me to block out noise so I can work in the evening while my family watches TV.  This app allows me to choose, combine, customize sounds levels and SAVE the sounds as names presets. Not only do I now have one that actually helps me focus but I can save relaxing sounds for yoga as well.

### 5/5 — Fell asleep

*2014-10-30, version 1.00*

I fell asleep on the train and missd my stop but was so worth it for the mad vibes.

### 5/5 — I've got a bone to pick

*2014-10-28, version 1.00*

That's right I've got a bone to pick with the developer . I bought this app for a chilled out day but next thing I know I'm being woken by my boss! Almost got fired because I was asleep jerk! Put a warning next tine

### 5/5 — IMLOVE THIS APP!

*2014-10-27, version 1.00*

Couldn't fault this app one bit. Does exactly what it says on the tin (description) and doles out some dynamite relaxation vibes. 

One time I was messing around with it and all the noise stopped and there was this weird voice that kept saying 'FIND AND CAPTURE DAVID CAMERON' over and over but I'm sure that is just a glitch they'll work out in later editions.
