On s’endort en quelques minutes. Des suggestions : possibilité d’augmenter séparément l’intensité et de faire varier la qualité de la pluie et du vent; travail en tâche de fond car je ne comprends pas l’utilité de faire fonctionner à la fois le flash et l’écran. Plus de sonorités différentes d’orages souhaitées pour un prix assez élevé. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2019-03-23, version 2.30* Feels real and makes bedtime extra cosy. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-01-10, version 2.30* I love this app it has actually been very helpful and calming and helped me get over my fears of loud and electrifying thunderstorms ### 5/5 — The best thunderstorm simulator ever *2018-12-28, version 2.30* Wow. It is awesome ### 5/5 — Very Cool!!! *2018-07-11, version 2.30* To be honest I was just planning on finding a random app that will make thunder and rain but whenever I opened it I was really surprised at the quality of it, it really made me feel like I was in a storm, it was very calming also ( It even made flashes come out of my flashlight which I thought was very realistic and cool!) 10/10 would recommend and I have never written a review before but I absolutely love this app. ### 5/5 — Love it! So great! *2018-05-19* In a dark room this creates an incredibly authentic experience of there being a storm outside. Initially I had some issues with the sleep timer, but after getting in touch with the developer, those problems seen to have been resolved. Highly recommended app for anyone who finds storms relaxing! ### 5/5 — I love it *2018-04-26, version 2.30* I didn’t meant to hit no on the prompt asking me if I was liking the app so far. It’s a great app and it really helps me sleep on tough nights. It creates atmosphere and if I’m feeling dramatic I might even use it my nerdy table top stuff. So thank you for making it. ### 5/5 — Ótimo. *2017-11-06, version 2.30* Adorei o app. ### 5/5 — Show! *2017-09-30, version 2.20* Massa... ### 5/5 — Oh My God😱 *2017-05-21, version 2.10* This Is Pretty Darn Good, No Bugs, ITS JUST SO AWESOME ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 0 stars! *2019-05-30, version 2.30* Awful awful awful, have I mentioned how awful it is? ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2015-08-02, version 1.21* I purchased this app in hopes that I would see actual lightning striking down the screen but no that did not happen. I expected to see lighting like you see in the sky. Is there any way you can make that happen. If not I feel like I just threw away money!!!!!! ### 3/5 — Comment *2020-02-23, version 2.30* It’s a great App. however, I think the thunder should come after the lightning to make the App. more realistic. ### 3/5 — Most realistic sounds *2019-04-02, version 2.30* This app has the most realistic thunder sounds of any storm app, but I only gave it 3 stars bc you can’t use any other apps while using this. You can’t browse the internet or it shuts off and that’s annoying. And it’s not a great white noise sleep app either bc the thunder is SO loud it can wake u from a dead sleep. ### 3/5 — Cool effects *2015-02-19, version 1.21* This actually works, this free version gives just a few mins of a storm but the white screen and camera flash with the Lightning are golden. Unrealistic part is the Lightning is always in sync. Build in a delay, maybe one where thunder and lightning timing grows closer as the storm approaches and gets louder and it's 5 stars as a demo. Would pay for it but there's pretty good YouTube storms with lightning for free, however this demo is unique in utilizing camera flash. Make volume adjustable within app bc I can multi task another sound app and since this app doesn't let me control sound except through total volume, it turns down the other app's sound too. The thunder in this is so loud I want to turn it down and leave other app sound up. ### 4/5 — Terrific app *2025-04-23, version 2.32* I deeply enjoy this app. It helps me get to sleep at night. But there is a bugfix required for the timer. The numbers on the timer dials are not visible so it’s pure guesswork when it comes to setting the timer. ### 4/5 — Awesome! But... *2020-10-13, version 2.31* Awesome app, very realistic! Very high quality sounds and lights + integrated flashlight simulating lightning are brilliantly incorporated, well done !! “A must have for thunder enthusiasts!” Pros: - Awesome sounds - Very realistic lights using both screen and flashlight! Close your eyes, and you are in a marvelous thunderstorm! - You can choose the storm distance Cons: - Loops too fast and abruptly, would appreciate a better transition (smoother, like an infinite smooth loop ♾ ) - Timer settings bug not always showing on screen Thanks, and keep up the awesome work 😉 Sleep tight 😴 ⛈⛈ ### 4/5 — All in all good *2018-11-03, version 2.30* By in large, this is a great app. Very relaxing! Only 2 pics, Very noticeable end of audio loop that pulls you out of the fantasy. And, the lightning flashes for a bit too long. Feels a little like a strobe light and not a lightning strike. Having said that, amazingly well made app. Thank you. ### 4/5 — Very good implementation and great sound quality! *2017-06-13, version 2.10* I really was impressed with most of the implementation. I used this while hooked up to a Harmon Karden onyx II. The sound was great and the use of the flash as well as the screen was brilliant. I would have to agree that the transition from the start to the end of the loop was a bit chunky. A few features I would like to see is a timer for bedtime and a mixer to turn the rain sounds up without having such over powering lightening. It will shake the room with the right speaker setup. ### 4/5 — stmonty *2017-05-30, version 2.10* This is a great app. I find thunderstorms relaxing and the addition of lightning makes the illusion complete. Need smoother transition between loops. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super good *2021-03-11, version 2.31* The best, Sounds just like Spettra’s Weather Simulator in Roblox ### 5/5 — Coolest app ever :) *2020-12-20, version 2.31* I love the sound of the realistic lighting, thundering and rain noises. It's quite calming. Those of you reading this review, I recommend this app to you if you like natural sounds etc. ### 5/5 — Great Atmosphere creator. *2020-07-08, version 2.31* Love turning it on and listening to music or just talk with my friends. It makes me feel like I am in a sunroom on a dark night watching a storm. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2020-03-20, version 2.30* Gostei muito, podia existir a opção de deixar só o flash do celular, ou só a tela, mas atendeu as expectativas! ### 5/5 — Really helps *2020-03-09, version 2.30* I have a hard time sleeping and zoo far using this app along with another is great for me ..thank you for the app!! ### 5/5 — Nice and calm *2020-02-21, version 2.30* Love it helps a lot was looking for something Togo with rain this app had thunder and lightning Very Nice!! ### 5/5 — 🤯 *2020-02-08, version 2.30* This is the best Lightning app and no adds!!
