### 1/5 — Broken now

*2024-09-15*

Audio is completely distorted

### 4/5 — Interesting app

*2022-04-06*

This app generates ambient electronic drones. Each time it's a slightly different combination of tones, high or low tones shifting in emphasis. As a reference it's sometimes reminiscent of Eno's electronic instrumental music. Great for headphones to block out external noises. My only complaint is occasionally the sounds will include loud staticky popping or glitch type noises that can be jarring or irritating. But that's a rare event and overall I like this app.

**Developer response:** Hi Harrison, thanks for bringing this up and very sorry about the popping sound as I want this app to be relaxing. I believe I know what you're referring to and will work to smooth that out the next chance I get to update the app. It was an issue with the sound engine that was very hard to pin down. If you'd like to discuss further you can find a contact email at the bottom of this page: https://scisci.com/nightshapes/ Thanks!

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-03-26*

Very simple and pleasing UI. Very nice and smooth ambient soundscape.

### 5/5 — Incredible concept!

*2022-04-22*

I like how this app only uses a tiny amount of storage space but it automatically generates limitless melodies of music! The music created from it is mostly minimal ambient kind of music which is good for sleep or deep focus. There's also an auto generated visualization that goes with the music. I really love this app but I wish there was more options for different sounds and instruments instead of just one!

### 5/5 — absolutely in love

*2022-03-20*

so great for focus, relaxation and sleep great work guys/gals

### 5/5 — What’s not to love?

*2020-06-06*

Endlessly generating subtle harmonic drones that change slightly every time you tap the screen - and it’s free! I played this through some good-quality headphones the other day while working and it was both relaxing and aided my concentration. So I am very impressed with this little app. Great sound quality through headphones too.

### 5/5 — 👍👍

Just downloaded and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Fell asleep in minutes when it typically takes me hours. This app is very useful for mediation sleep and relaxation. Very calming throughout the body. Definitely recommend trying it out to lower stress and insomnia :-)

### 5/5 — Quality Sounds

Stumbled up on this app and upon starting to use it I immediately felt transported to a totally peaceful and meditative state by both the visuals and the sounds. Both art and a transformative tool for relaxation- I’m so impressed and happy I found this! Grazie Mille!

I LOVED listening to this while working, very relaxing and focus oriented! Even better to take a meditation break and just listen

The generative sonic architectures generated from Night Shapes are so calming and immersive. I also love the generative titles for each harmony. Great for meditation and work and creating a calm and focused mood.
