### 1/5 — App is broken

*2026-08-16*

I like the idea of this app but the purchase button does not work

### 4/5 — Add Customize Sounds

*2025-10-11*

If the ability to customize the sound by adding the sound of thunder, adjusting the intensity of rain, or adding other sounds such as wind, rustling of tree branches, or bird sounds was added to the application, it would be a significant leap for the this apps developers.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for the great suggestion! I really appreciate your feedback about adding more customizable sounds like thunder and wind.

To be honest, I’ve chosen to keep this app intentionally simple and focused—that’s always been my goal for it. But if you’d like to freely mix and match different sounds—including rain, thunder, white noise, brainwaves, and more—I’d like to recommend another app I made with my friend called Mind Zen. It’s designed exactly for that kind of creative sound mixing, and I think you might really enjoy it!

Thanks again for your support — it means a lot to me.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

Useful, Simple and classic

**Developer response:** 🎉

### 5/5 — Perfect app! Light weight, elegant!

*2025-09-12*

The sound quality is spot on, features are easy to use, and the screen animation makes the app completely feel, right!

**Developer response:** ❤️

### 5/5 — Great sounds for relaxing or sleeping

*2025-09-09*

I tried this app out while sleeping and was very satisfied and had a great night sleep. The timer was helpful because it turned off the sound after I was asleep. I also like that the app is such a lightweight one. It is very quick.

**Developer response:** 🥳

### 5/5 — i love this app

Great tool for when i’m reading, working, or winding down for the night. Great design, and the sounds are amazing.

**Developer response:** 😘
