### 5/5 — Love it....until tonight

*2021-06-02*

UPDATE: Original review left late Saturday and the issue was resolved today.  Woo hoo.  Thanks so much!

I’ve been using this for a couple of years and it was wonderful.  Today when I logged in I was greeted with a please subscribe - sure no problem I’m enjoying the app.  Problem is this last upgrade that I received this morning broke it.  For years I’ve been able to have it on in the background - now the app stops as soon as the app isn’t front and center.  This pretty much useless to have all night.  I even signed up to subscribe thinking the sleep timer would override it - no such luck.  Sorry subscription cancelled.

**Developer response:** Sorry about this. I just became aware of the bug and am working on a fix.

### 5/5 — Love the Sleepy Forest!

*2015-07-03, version 1.4*

So restful and lovely. Puts your mind in another place. Nature sounds beautifully recorded.

### 4/5 — Pleasant for late night relaxation

*2015-02-21*

I find this app good for winding down late at night. I pick a track and set the timer, then do my exercises and go to bed against a peaceful background of birds calling and water gurgling. Each tracks has a different mix of birds, insects and water recorded in specific locations. The white noise is very helpful for blocking out tinnitus. I would prefer it if some of the loops were longer, and a couple could be more smoothly joined, but it all depends on the source material available and nature is itself repetitive. A good buy.

### 5/5 — Delightful!

*2014-09-25*

This is a lovely simple app with gentle, restful sounds.  The timer is simple and straightforward and the choice of sounds varied but not so many it's impossible to choose.  Something like this was suggested as I suffer from tinnitus and I find it very helpful for getting to sleep at night, without disturbing my husband.  I would definitely recommend this app to anyone wanting restful background sounds from nature.

### 5/5 — Sleepy Forest

*2013-12-09, version 1.2*

Love this app!

### 5/5 — Crisp and pure sounding

*2013-07-27*

I've downloaded other similar apps - there is a slag in the looping bit, but otherwise my favorite app for relaxing and going to sleep.

### 5/5 — Use it nightly

*2013-07-05*

Tried about three other similar apps before I found this.  Use it nightly. Love it!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2013-05-19*

Crisp, clean, high quality sounds that instantly transport you into nature. Perfect for audiophiles and escapists alike. Recommended!

### 2/5 — Not very good

*2013-03-21*

Sounds play for 5min and you can hear when the loop is starting again there is a 2 sec pause, not very relaxing.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2013-03-19*

I pooped my pants when I had bad squirrel meat...
