Finally an app that lets you do that! Could it be possible to add a function to add sounds from your own library? That would be amazing! ### 5/5 — Perfect. *2022-10-22* First, to anyone complaining about what you can’t do in the free version: C’mon. It’s $3.49 per YEAR to remove this lone developer’s paywall, and then you can do all of the things you’re whining about no longer being able to do in the updated free version. We all need to pull some sort of income in order to survive in this world. A developer is essentially an artist and a small business. It’s a maximum of $6 to support this artist’s small business. You know, it’s interesting. The people who complain the loudest about not wanting to help those struggling in fringes are the very same people who somehow believe that they, themselves, should get everything for free. There’s an app in the store that offers much, much less in their free* version, and their annual price is $249. The missing decimal point isn’t a typo. That’s two hundred forty nine dollars, annually. So more than once. For an app. An app that, in spite of its super high-tech, uber-complicated/impressively-impressive description, isn’t capable of anything more than playing sounds out of the single speaker located on the bottom of our phones. An app cannot magically✨ perform tasks requiring anything beyond the capabilities of the device that houses it. Anyhow, all-of-the-above certainly does put this developer’s request for either $3.49 per year, or a one-time payment of $5.99 into a pretty reasonable perspective, no? Embarrassed yet? 😳 I did the free trial to access the whole thing, and see if I like it enough to keep it. I’m loving it. A person could get lost in here for a good hour or more just layering and saving sounds. This app has all someone looking for sounds, soothing or otherwise, could ever need. The sounds are high-quality, and there are a ton of them. I’ll say without hesitation that this app, with its humble price, is probably the best sound app I’ve ever used. It’s a beautiful, thoughtful app that someone clearly put their heart into creating. It’s something to be proud of. Anyone who really does feel that they need more than this has to offer them, might need to consider that they are most likely just impossible to please. ### 2/5 — The updated version is worse *2022-10-13, version 10.14* I updated the app to the latest version and it is worse than the old version. The old version allows you to download 4 free extra sounds as a free user which you could delete a sound to download another. But the new version doesn't let you download any sounds or delete existing sounds. Also, the UI is more complicated and it has unnecessary animations which drains the battery and there's no way to disable it. If I can't use the app as a free user then I guess I may have to delete it and use a different one. ### 5/5 — Cakies83 *2022-09-17, version 10.14* Tranquility at its finest ### 3/5 — Good app, I use it every night, but... *2022-08-10, version 10.12* Developer recently changed the UI. It's very counter intuitive, with important tools (like changing volumes of individual sounds and finding your own presets) buried deep in the menus. Still functional, just frustrating. ### 5/5 — This is a great app *2022-07-23, version 10.11* I love this app but every time you update it it wants me to buy it .. which I have done 3 times now and every time I buy the one time payments…. So why do I have keep pay it every time you update ? .. I really need this app but I am sick of pay for it ### 4/5 — Great app, recent update makes it hard to use *2022-07-20, version 10.10* Great app but recent update is harder to use. Before it was set ur sound and time now you have to figure out which button is for sound which one for presets ect. Now it’s a guessing game as to which basic symbol is suppose to represent wha. Need some labels on the buttons ### 5/5 — Best sound App *2022-05-04, version 9.21* This app really has the best sounds. ### 5/5 — i. love it love love love it *2022-04-24, version 9.21* and i love you to see you later ### 5/5 — I love that this app continues to be perfected *2022-01-16, version 9.12* So many sound apps get designed, adopted by ardent fans and then abandoned by their developers. Not this one! I’m always happy to see an update because I know this app is on my Home Screen for a reason. Thanks for making such a great and useful app! ✌️ ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2022-01-06, version 7.32* Helps me get and stay asleep. Very relaxing. ### 5/5 — Neat *2021-09-28, version 9.09* Pretty neat little app ### 5/5 — Love this but… *2021-08-03, version 9.04* Love this app, use it all the time. After the last update though, it crashes every time I try to open my preset that I’ve been using for a long time. ### 5/5 — Latest update crashes *2021-07-24, version 9.00* I’ve used this app for a few years and really enjoy it. I turn it on as I’m falling to sleep. I subscribed to Premium and it is worth the money. My only complaint is that since they newest update I can’t start the app! It tries to load and then just crashes. Hey you guys, what’s up? ### 5/5 — The best rain sounds *2021-07-19, version 8.31* I've tried countless apps for relaxation and sleep. This is the best one. Great variety of sounds for relaxation, background while you work or do anything, and best of all for falling asleep. I use it almost every night. Thanks for this app and keep those new sounds coming!! ### 5/5 — Used it every night for years *2021-07-06, version 8.31* I have used this app every night for many, many years. I mostly use “heavy rain” to block out birds early in the morning and any other outside sounds that may wake me during sleep. Highly recommend - it works for me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken app *2026-04-09, version 11.1* I’ve used this app for years but this most recent update has made it so that I can’t even open/launch the app. ### 1/5 — Totally ruined! *2026-04-05, version 11.00* Been using this app for years , loved it . Newest update took away the ability to play through HomePod speakers. Now you are stuck listening to the iPad speakers….awful for sleeping. This is not an improvement, this is a loss of features and a definite downgrade for users. Do better. 0 stars but had to pick 1 to post ### 1/5 — New update is TERRIBLE *2026-03-29, version 11.00* I love this app and have been using it since it came out, but this most recent update is horrible. It got rid of all the extra sounds and cleared all my presets I had, presets I depended on for sleep nightly, and got rid of all the premium sounds I paid money into the app for. A huge disappointment, it’s so upsetting, I relied on this app nightly for sleep and now I’ll have to find another one. ### 1/5 — Lots of little glitches *2020-04-19, version 7.30* This is app is ok, but it is very glitchy. When you exit out of the app you have to slog through all the options to find the sound you had before. The layout is ever changing, and it’s just never worked really well. I’ve had to contact the developer to get my purchases restored, which they did quickly, but still a pain on my end. I used this app for a long time because I liked that it would play in the background while I listened to a pod cast etc. I’m giving up on it though as it’s just too frustrating to dial in the specific sound I want night after night and every time they update it the interface changes just a little which is also frustrating. Just not very intuitive set up. ### 1/5 — Hate update *2018-05-20, version 4.45* Hate the new update - cannot get app to retain my preferred sleep sound, have to reset it every night, the new timer is counter- intuitive, and often does not switch off after the selected time. Used to love this app, hate it now. ### 1/5 — This is not the app I had *2018-05-11, version 4.41* I loved this app for the last 12 mths used every night ,, now I opened it up and it is the most user unfriendly app I have every had ,,nothing like it was ,,and now they want money ,, I would pay if it was back to the basic first one ,,, ### 1/5 — Inconvenient *2018-02-22* I’ve used the app for probably two years? And I really liked it. Now that the major update has happened, it no longer resumes the most recently used setting, and I have to go select the sound I want each time I want to use it. This seems like a standard option a sounds app should have, so I’m not sure why it was gotten rid of. Update: it seems that under “classic rain sounds” they’re all the same sound. I used to be able to listen to one that was just heavy rain that didn’t change, but each option is one that fades in and out from heavy to gentle rain, and I don’t want that. I don’t find any method of getting it back to the heavy rain sounds I listened to for years. Really disappointed in the update. **Developer response:** Sorry you had an issue with an App. There was a big in a previous version that we have resolved before. Your heavy storm setting should still be there. ### 1/5 — Great App until voiceover added *2018-01-05, version 4.00* Loved this app and used to for rain sounds every night until tonight. I went to use it and with the upgrade comes occasional voiceovers advertising soundpacks for purchase. I will be finding a new app now. ### 1/5 — Fix update!! *2018-01-05, version 4.00* Loved this app for a long time, but new update has taken away the ability to mix sounds ..... guess I’m looking elsewhere ### 1/5 — This is no longer free? *2018-01-04, version 4.00* I opened the app today and it had a voice over telling me to buy the app and that the VO would be removed after purchase? Isn’t this meant to be a free relaxing sound generator? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Superb App *2026-07-14, version 11.2* A lot of love has gone into this app. It’s been a great comfort to me. The latest updates are flat out generous in the options and stacking it allows. ### 5/5 — This app is the foundation of my sanity *2026-04-08, version 11.1* I’ve been using this to get to sleep for years. Vastly superior to all other rain sounds I’ve ever tried. One time I thought the app didn’t exist anymore and I have genuinely never felt such panic ### 5/5 — 🙂‍↕️ *2026-03-30, version 11.00* I’ve liked this app for several years, and bought the (extremely affordable) full version almost immediately. To be completely honest, however, I didn’t really ‘get’ the visual/graphic choices, and usually just blacked out my screen right away. Tonight was such a sweet surprise. I love it. All of it. Even, or maybe especially, the sweet sleeping fox you’ve chosen as your mascot. I think I knew you’d do this at some point, and am really pleased and impressed. Time for bed.. shh.. 💤 ### 5/5 — Best rain app *2024-11-03, version 10.23* I’ve been using this app for over 5 years, every night. I love it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-06-05* 5 stars, have been using the app for years, and will always get me to sleep. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2024-05-08, version 10.22* Love this app. I have ASD x ADHDI and needed an app that can play background noises whilst I’m listening to my audiobooks and YouTube. This is perfect. I do wish it had a volume button but I don’t know if they could make it so that it worked independently of the phones master volume. Anyway best sound app I’ve ever used. ### 5/5 — THANK YOU! Also please allow us to pause, not stop whatever sound is playing *2024-03-01, version 10.22* THIS IS SO CALMING, I DON’T EVEN USE THE RAIN NOISES BUT THE MEDITATION AND SPACE ONES. ### 5/5 — Best app!!! *2023-04-04, version 10.17* Just wanna say thank you, no more sleepless nights, anxiety free. the customisation you can do is almost unlimited from rain to thunderstorms, fans, being inside and airplanes , oceans, birds, white noise just to name a couple. you can have them all playing at once and make up a sound you like and save it also control the volumes on each sound!!! Brought the 1 off deal I don’t regret! Thanks again to the dev, you’ve changed my sleep life for years now!!! And still are 😇 ### 5/5 — Has been helping me sleep for nearly 2 whole years *2023-04-01, version 10.17* Pay the yearly subscription, make your own presets and the best part is that this app allows you to have music, videos all playing — and the rain sounds will continue in the background. I owe this app so much - thank you developers for allowing me comfort, and less anxiety. ### 5/5 — BEST APP EVER *2023-01-25, version 10.17* This all is literally everything to me and it makes me fall asleep in literally less than five minutes it’s so effective and it’s free! It’s such a good choice when looking for rain apps and I HIGHLY recommend! 💗 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
