With or without headphones, the sounds are amazing! Definitely worth every cent. ### 5/5 — Good *2022-05-11, version 1.3.5* I’m going to be able to go to sleep good with this app🙃 ### 3/5 — UPDATED: truly great app, bug fix never came *2022-01-30, version 1.3.5* EDIT 2: It’s been a year, and the water sound is still broken in all the apps. Still cannot hear the meditations because all you hear is water. The volume of the different components still is not adjustable. So all you hear is dripping water. Not so great. It’s so disappointing. I used to use Franz’s apps every day. EDIT: I’m still very disappointed in the lack of email response, but I’m going out on a limb and buying Flowing 2 to support Franz’s work. These really are the best meditation apps in the App Store. Rating adjusted to 3 stars - 5+ star app, minus bad email response and persistent bug. Be warned - currently there is an issue in Flowing where the water sound is not adjustable, and it’s stuck on the loudest setting. That makes hearing the fabulous meditation difficult. It’s a system wide issue in all the apps, though, as Sunny and Windy both have the same issue. I’m going to trust Franz and hope it’s fixed in Flowing 2, and that it will be fixed in his other apps. But Franz, answer email a couple times of year! It makes us loyal customers less cranky.🙃 PREVIOUS REVIEW: I’ve bought every single one of Franz’s apps. They are fantastic. But he broke this app - removing key features in a “bug fixing update” - all so people would be forced to buy his new app. And he won’t answer customer support messages asking if he put the broken & removed functionality back into his latest iteration. These used to be some of the best apps in the App Store. But the hidden gem, the meditations, are what really made them shine. Without them, these “nature sounds” apps are a dime a dozen. Get something cheaper. I’ll never buy another one of his apps as he doesn’t care anything about customer satisfaction. ### 5/5 — It is amazing 😉 *2021-09-21* It is amazing but i don’t get time to use it but it is amazing it really relaxes me to bad that it isn’t real if it was everyone would be relaxed 😌 but the world is different,thankfully 😅 i have the flowing app it is wonderful it keeps me relaxed 😌 i LOVE flowing 💖. That is all i will say bye 👋🏻 ### 5/5 — Schöne App zum fairen Preis *2021-09-16* Die App bietet zum fairen Preis, was man oft bei teuren Achtsamkeits- und Meditationsapps erhält: nein, keine Meditationsübungen, aber entspannende Sounds wie Wasserplätschern, Regentropfen, Vogelgezwitscher, sowie entspannende Musik. Dies in kleinerem, aber für mich völlig ausreichendem Umfang. Auf Wunsch kann man eine Uhr zuschalten, die herunterzählt - z. B. als Sleeptimer. Die App ist außerdem leicht zu bedienen. ### 5/5 — Review *2021-08-17, version 1.3.5* Nice app ! 🖤 ### 5/5 — Fantastic collection of Zen *2021-07-14, version 1.3.5* What a companion for my daily Meditation and Yoga 🧘‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Sehr entspannend *2021-06-17, version 1.3.5* Nutze es zum einschlafen ### 5/5 — Most Calming App. *2021-06-10* I have used this for years to relax and isolate myself from everything around me. Helps me take naps when I need them. I have used this for years. I purchased the second version and I am interested to try that out. Definitely recommend this. Very nice ambient sounds that appear to be 3d. I can visualize where the rain drops are landing. ### 3/5 — •es *2021-06-08, version 1.3.5* ok ### 5/5 — 👍🏼 *2021-05-14, version 1.3.5* Süper ### 5/5 — Très bien *2021-05-13* Impeccable pour se détendre ### 5/5 — Greatest *2021-04-15* It’s a good item. ### 4/5 — Muito bom *2021-04-14* Muito bom e poderia ter tradução para português. ### 5/5 — Thank you ! *2021-04-14, version 1.3.5* You are awesome! ### 5/5 — 存在闪退问题 *2021-04-12* 挺好的软件，但是在今天使用过程中遇到了切换场景时闪退的问题，希望可以解决一下。 ### 3/5 — Unterschied zu Flowing 2? *2021-04-10* Wüsste gerne den Unterschied zu Flowing 2. Die Bilder sind die selben, die Schieberegler und die Funktion dessen sind offensichtlich auch die selben... Nur das der Sound (vielleicht) etwas anders ist? Wünschenswert wäre eine App die alle Apps des Entwicklers vereinen. Bei Flowing und Flowing 2 gibt es nur den Wald mit Regen Fluss und Vogelsounds sowie nette Musik. Kein Wind ( Windy) kein Gewitter (Thunderspace) Lagerfeuer wäre schön. So muss man sich entscheiden und alle Apps einzeln kaufen... Um dann festzustellen das der Unterschied minimal ist? Alle Apps wurden vor über einem Jahr zuletzt aktualisiert. Schade. Potenzial wäre da. ### 5/5 — Works great *2021-03-28, version 1.3.5* Great app for guided meditation. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trop de pubs *2025-07-23* Une fois de temps en temps, la boîte qui a créé cette app en sort une nouvelle. Et pendant toute une période, on se prend des pubs pour cette nouvelle app dans celle-ci. C’est insupportable. Edit: et en ce moment, c’est systématique: une pub à chaque fois que je lance, la même à chaque fois que je reviens sur l’app pour l’arrêter. Apparemment, j’ai payé pour avoir un panneau de pub permanent. **Developer response:** Promouvoir mes nouvelles apps permet de les garder toutes en vie, sans avoir à compter sur des abonnements coûteux comme beaucoup d’autres. Merci pour ta patience — je fais en sorte de rester discret. ### 1/5 — Update 1.3.3 *2020-04-02, version 1.3.4* False advertising is not cool! Guided meditations?!? Please Help! I loved this app, until this update... which entirely removed all guided meditations. Please restore the guided meditations, and then I will update this review and consider preordering Flowing 2! ### 1/5 — Choppy *2019-05-24, version 1.3.1* Maybe my hearing is of our I've gone mad.... But this is incredibly choppy and I'm deleting it ### 1/5 — There is no button to stop the app *2019-04-09, version 1.3.1* I deleted the app after I managed to stop it. ### 1/5 — Hijacked my iPad and forced me to write a review *2017-07-27, version 1.2* I don't know about it yet. When I was exploring to try to figure out how to use it, it forced me to write a review. I couldn't turn it off or explore further unless I wrote a review. So I am. ### 1/5 — Slabe i kit darmowej wersji *2016-10-06, version 1.2* Darmowa wersja dobre raptem kilka dzwiekow a za reszte cza placic. Co do relaksu dzwieki mocno zapetlone co po pewnym czasie mocno wkurza, zdecydowanie lepsza alternatywa jest youtube ### 1/5 — Que perdida de tiempo *2016-10-05, version 1.2* Ni se molesten en instalarlo, que perdida de tiempo, encima cobran dentro de la app. ### 1/5 — Really *2016-10-05, version 1.2* Don't mean to be nasty folks, but this is not worth downloading. This waste of space is just a waterfall sound, with some poor 3D pictures of landscapes with cutesy little animals playing in a very unreal way. And you have to touch or move the iPad to activate the 3D effect, which is a bit pointless if you're trying to get to sleep! I thought the whole idea of this was to help you sleep! If you're looking at these stupid pictures, you're certainly not going to go to sleep. If you want some quality sounds that you can mix yourself, choose 'TaoMix'. Some paid for content if you want it, but the option to record your own sounds and mix them in as well is a brilliant idea. ### 1/5 — Picture with sounds *2016-10-05, version 1.2* Really don't understand how some thing this is so great. Just 'pretty' pictures with dreadful sound of running water and the option of birdsong and rain and dripping water as a extra. I've deleted it. Glad I didn't pay for it. ### 1/5 — I don't get it *2016-10-05, version 1.2* It's just a parallax-enabled image with some light animations and sound effects. You mean to tell me this app typically costs money? Like real-world money? Why? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great sleep app! *2026-02-13, version 1.4.4* Always puts me to sleep. Like the ability to customize the mix. One thing to fix would be making it easier to exit the app. The only way out is by clicking on “share” or other apps. That’s clunky. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great *2025-07-17, version 1.4.4* Great ### 5/5 — Fantastic idea! *2025-07-09, version 1.4.4* Perfect sounds for relaxing. Music sounds very much like a winged victory for the sullen and stars of the lid (if you don't have their records you need to get them!) ### 5/5 — good *2025-06-24, version 1.4.1* Ths ### 5/5 — Love this *2025-05-29, version 1.4.1* Such a great app for providing white noise to sleep too. ### 5/5 — Peace *2025-05-24, version 1.4.1* I have incorporated this into a daily morning routine and highly recommend this to anyone ### 5/5 — Calme *2025-05-12* Un havre de paix ### 5/5 — Sehr durchdacht und wirklich enspannend *2025-04-09* …die Auswahl an Musik dürfte noch etwas größer sein, dann wäre es perfekt! **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Im amazed *2025-04-07, version 1.4.1* I had the best sleep EVER! ### 5/5 — Peaceful sounds *2023-08-22, version 1.3.5* Beautiful pictures with the sound of rushing water help to lull you to sleep. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
