Recorded by sound ecologists, field research and sound artists is a great resource for anyone wanting to connect more with the Earth’s vibrant sounds. **Developer response:** Thank you, beautiful to hear! ### 5/5 — Nature is the Best Medicine *2025-06-04* I use the app daily. I live in a city and miss the sounds of nature in the countryside. Natural sounds are great medicine for waking up and winding down. Way better imo than all the meditation and sound apps. I’ve use Calm, Headspace, and others, been an Endel subscriber, tried Apple Music’s recently released “Sound Therapy” playlists, but in terms of the effect of sound on mental health I don’t think anything compares. On that not, I’d love to see the app lean into this angle a little more than “sounds for sleep” or simply tailoring it towards nature enthusiasts. Those are good, but I think there is something here for mental health especially for those of living in cities without easy access to natural areas. Anyway, thank you for a great app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this detailed feedback! Indeed we are working on new series with guided meditations, stay tuned :) ### 5/5 — Genuine sounds with a story *2025-05-13* I like that it’s not just generic nature sounds but you know where they came from, who recorded it, and why. **Developer response:** Thank you John, this is exactly why we love working on our beloved app! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2025-05-12* This app is perfect for playing in the background while I work. I really hope it adds support for landscape mode on iPad. I keep having to tilt my head sideways, and it’s starting to wear me out. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Great but… *2025-03-03* Fantastic app but the annual subscription price is bonkers particularly when the fantastic content is already free, and annual sub only gets you a few small in-app extras. Annual sub should be half price imo. Update: I think the developer is forgetting who needs who more. We’ll simply move on to another app but they’re trying to make a living, so I highly recommend they lower their crazy annual price before they cease to exist. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the support. We should probably limit the free content, as we're barely surviving as a non-profit... ### 5/5 — Great but… *2025-02-20* Fantastic app but the annual subscription price is bonkers particularly when the fantastic content is already free, and annual sub only gets you a few small in-app extras. Annual sub should be half price imo. ### 5/5 — Superb! *2024-08-02* Absolutely love this! From the overall concept to the design and execution, everything is amazing. The ability to listen to nature sounds from around the world is a wonderful idea. The sound quality is exceptional, making you feel truly immersed in nature. The design is top-notch as well. You can tell a lot of work has gone into it, from the illustrations to the map animations. Truly a beautiful app! **Developer response:** Wanda, we feel seen and appreciated. Thank you so much for the kind review! ### 5/5 — Really great surprise *2024-08-02* wanted to find a new app for our son to listen to nature sounds in the evening before sleep, and I was very pleasantly surprised with Earth.fm! I think it’s a gem for anyone seeking relaxation, calming down in tbe evening. The soundscapes are incredible and well-recorded. I especially love the diverse playlists and the nature sounds map. Supporting a charity with every use makes this app even more meaningful. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Dear Nitin, this is a great use case! Can you please reach out to hello@earth.fm? Would love to have a guest post on our blog with people sharing about their specific way they use Earth.fm :) ### 5/5 — Perfect for meditation and sleep *2024-08-02, version 1.0.0* Over the last year, Earth fm has transformed my meditation practice and sleep quality. Now that they launched an app, i will probably end up using it even more . A must have for anyone looking to unwind. ### 5/5 — Immersive stuff *2024-08-02* What a fantastic variety of nature soundscapes! The predefined playlists and nature sounds map make it easy to find exactly what I need for relaxation. **Developer response:** Wonderful to read this, thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 无法打开 *2026-02-08* 根本打不开 **Developer response:** Hi there, I'm sorry that you weren't able to access the app. We haven't noticed any such issue in other regions, so it is likely that this is due to the network restrictions imposed within China. Does the problem persist if you connect to a VPN? If so, please get in touch at hello@earth.fm and we can look further into this. ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2025-05-27* Great site but wayy too expensive. **Developer response:** Hi Citiliee, I am sorry you feel like that. We are a registered charity and it's much more difficult to create this kind of project than you may think. Please have a look at our latest financial report and let us know what you think: https://earth.fm/financial-and-impact-report/ ### 3/5 — Great sounds, way too expensive *2025-08-28, version 1.7.1* Lovely high quality audio in a format and UI that is great to use. But, $14.00/mth (aud) for this service is about 4x more expensive than it should be. ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-08-07* Really great app for sleep or just to clear your mind ### 5/5 — A pure blessing *2026-04-22* I used to go to YouTube for my nature stuff but all the audio there humongous portion of it. It’s heavily processed. They take out the imperfections of nature and they make it too smooth and it was bugging me or you get the artificial sounding stuff with the repeating loops over and over again. I just found this app a few days ago. There’s actually a story that led me to you guys. I was in the car and we were on our way back home and we wound up having an accident involving a deer. The car did sustain some damage, but we were all OK. The car was the last thing on my mind, though I was more concerned for our safety and then after I processed all that grief for the animal hit me really hard. I was needing something extremely specific. At first I searched on YouTube and well yeah no luck because my search terms were too specific. All I was really needing was recordings of deer just being dear without human activity around and I found you guys shortly after that. So from the bottom of my heart thank you. It is a little wonky with VoiceOver. Once I got used to the interface. It’s not intolerable. ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-02-26* Absolutely Beautiful project and really helpful for my naps and meditations **Developer response:** Me too 🦦 ### 5/5 — Great soundscapes *2026-01-29* This is my go to app for quite immersive content and it’s been a great experience. ### 5/5 — Hello there. *2025-11-27* My name is Amaya Miracle Walker. I love this app. I've been listening to nature sounds like this ever since I was a little baby. The app is great for stress relief and it definitely helps reduce my depression. It makes me feel calm, cool, and collected. I can escape into a world that is all my own. **Developer response:** 🙏🏼🌎 ### 5/5 — just wonderful *2025-11-07* a fantastic app **Developer response:** Than you so much! 🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Glorious Relaxation *2025-10-23* These recordings are so soothing and perfectly pair with reading, coffee, and a fireplace! 🙉🙈🙊 ## Most praised reviews (3 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — とても良いアプリ *2025-09-26* 世界中の自然の中にある音をBGMで聴けます。 世界地図の中から選ぶのは、旅をしているようでもあるし、音を聴くだけでまるでその空間に自分がいるかのように感じて、気分転換になるしとても心地が良いです。 寄付の金額を選べるのもとても良いと思います。このアプリを作ってくださった方、録音のデータを提供して下さるみなさんに感謝します。 ### 5/5 — Huge selection *2025-06-29* Love that I can just pick sounds from different parts of the world. ### 5/5 — BEST SOUNDSCAPE APP *2025-06-28* I tried many different soundscapes apps, This one is by far the best and highest sound quality **Developer response:** This means A Lot!
