Astounding app

I love close enough to the water to be lulled to sleep by the waves and have trouble falling asleep when I’m OT. Love the app as it uses the local data to recreate the ambient noise I’m learning is hard to live without. Thanks Big A

Really enjoy the localization and selection of buoy’s around me. Very interesting app and excellent user experience. Calming and enjoyable to listen and reflect it just have on in the background for white noise. Should help falling to sleep with my tinnitus.
