### 4/5 — I like this.

*2023-03-08*

But it’s not clear how to pay to remove ads and supports the development of this app

### 5/5 — Among the most relaxing apps I have installed

*2021-09-09*

When the binaural sound apps just aren’t chaotic enough to help guide my concentration, I find this app is extremely soothing for me when anxiety creeps in. In these Modern trying times one thing I miss most is being able to go hang out somewhere public and listen to the sound of crowds. I find it very relaxing and I use it to enhance the sounds around me in hospital waiting rooms and even just resting at home. Put in your earbuds with the passive sound on so it blends into your surroundings at low volume or if you are trying to escape the chaos around you, activate the noise cancellation option and listen to entropy that is a bit more controlled. Reminds me of of friends I had that went out and did field recordings for music projects. Shocked there aren’t nature sounds or mass transit recordings. I know this app is helping me out.

### 5/5 — نوشتن‌بی‌وقفه

*2021-05-17, version 1.12*

من یه نویسنده هستم، و ازین برنامه‌برای  قرار گرفتن توی محیط‌هایی که دسترسی بهشون واسم ممکن نیست استفاده می‌کنم، برای خلاقانه‌تر نوشتن. ممنون ازتون.

### 5/5 — Great app🔥🔥

*2021-04-21*

AMAZING

### 5/5 — Must download

*2021-02-07*

This app is truly amazing and doesn’t force any cost and the advertising is so minimal that you don’t even notice it. Honestly love the app and it really is one of my favourite apps due to its simplicity and the fact it has never asked me to pay for anything, it’s just letting me listen in peace while I study. 
Even thought I’ve only encountered one small ad in the few hours I’ve used it I’m going to go ahead and pay for it anyways. 
I love what you guys have done with this app and it deserves its credit. 
The sounds are also terrific, by far my favourite would be the ice skating.

**Developer response:** Hello there!

So glad you enjoyed the app! We really appreciate the nice words.

We are super excited to add some more sound packs & improvements soon. 

If you have any feedback or ideas, please feel free to send them over at support@toolost.com

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-01-28*

Nice way to bring back life during such a dead time :)

**Developer response:** Thanks for the support!

### 1/5 — Lame. Dumb. Useless.

*2021-01-24*

Perhaps I’m missing something but what the heck is the point to this?! Just listen to any streaming music service or podcast. Who would put this on the “relax” or “feel less alone?!”

Again, perhaps it’s me. But this is stupid. And they charge $7 to remove ads. Pretty lame.

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-01-24*

This app is great especially during these times , it needs more sounds but most definitely a good app

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2020-10-20*

Very clean and nice looking app. The ambient sounds are realistic and very relaxing!
In app purchases aren’t too expensive! :)

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We're glad you're enjoying Ambients!

### 4/5 — Muito bom

*2020-10-19*

Poderia melhorar colocando mais opções

**Developer response:** Obrigado pela revisão! Por favor, deixe-nos saber se você tem alguma sugestão!
