≈ In The Media ≈ 

"Having used Thunderspace previously, I expected a good audio experience and I got one. Wind moves from left to right, right to left, hovers overhead. Sometimes a gust seems far away to the right, other times it's whipping just overhead. It's cool that you can often hear what the wind is carrying, too." — Dave Caolo, TUAW 

"I’m absolutely loving the wind sounds." — Christine Chan, AppAdvice 


Wind is invisible. Unpredictable. Powerful. Soothing. Playful. Inspiring. It represents purity. It clears our mind. It helps us focus. And above all, it can mask unwanted noise. 


≈ Features ≈ 

+ Natural wind recorded on a stormy December evening with occasional subtle rain under an umbrella.
+ Mix in some extra icy rain on a tent if you don't feel cold enough ;)
+ Psychoacoustic 3D audio optimized for Apple EarPods & headphones. 
+ Motion controlled multi-plane 3D parallax scene matching the wind recording (you can disable motion control).

### 5/5 — Essential for babies and kids

*2024-06-02*

My 7-year old loves the customization features and my 1 month old definitely sleeps better with more of the water sounds applied. I love all of Franz’s sound apps. This guy travels all over the world to record the natural sounds and uses that inspiration for the stories in apps. Reading these with my 7-year old provides a soothing bedtime story built in to his nighttime routine. No need to buy sound machines or bassinets/baby monitors with white noise, I just open one of these apps!

### 5/5 — Amazing

### 5/5 — Excited About this

*2020-04-06*

Just purchased, seems calming..... One question, how can we remove the play/pause icon from the screen? It’s kinda distracting from enjoying the scene.

### 5/5 — A little bit different

*2020-01-09*

I’ve tried jungles, beaches, cities, light rain, thunderstorms, and the occasional bit of silence. The wind sounds are best.  A top quality app made with much more care, thought and style than most. Perfect relaxation for the price of a half of lager. Get involved.

**Developer response:** Thank you ❤️

### 5/5 — Klasse App

*2019-11-14*

Sehr entspannt

### 2/5 — 同じオプションの繰り返し

*2019-04-25*

バックで聞こえる音以外にオプションでつける音楽と音は同じ5種類のみ。分からないのは、犬など載せている場所で犬の遠覚えひとつない事ですね。期待しただけに、ガッカリしましたね

### 5/5 — The best
