## What is Raindrops?

Raindrops is a minimalistic player designed to immerse you in the soothing sound of rain, accompanied by calming visual effects of falling raindrops. Gain a sense of control over the rain: it falls or stops as you play or pause the player. Use Raindrops to unwind, concentrate on tasks, or drift into a restful sleep. A built-in sleep timer ensures the rain stops when you're off to dreamland.

--- Ideal Uses ---
- Focusing during exam preparation
- Soothing yourself to sleep
- Shifting your mood to spark creativity

----- Features -----
- Sound Control: Simply tap the play-pause button to toggle the rain sound.
- Visual Effects: The rain visuals change depending on whether the player is in play or pause mode. The sky's brightness also shifts gradually as you continue using the app.
- Rain Type: Tap the droplet icon to choose from "Heavy," "Light," or "Hood" rain types.
- Sleep Timer: Rotate the dial and press "SET" to initiate the sleep timer. The rain sound will stop after the set time. To cancel, rotate the dial to zero and press "CANCEL."
- Screen Display: Tap anywhere on the screen outside the buttons to enjoy an uncluttered rain view.
- Background Play: Raindrops will keep playing even when the app is in the background, allowing you to multitask (as long as the other app doesn't require sound).

### 1/5 — Impossible to listen to

*2026-03-14, version 1.3.109*

The rain sounds repeat every 20 seconds with a sound like a door banging. Cannot use it at all - what a waste of money!

### 2/5 — 広告が突然入るのがストレス

*2026-01-10*

集中できているのに、途中広告が入ってしまってすごく嫌。開始前かタイマー終了後とかならよいのに。すごくいいアプリなのにもったいない！

**Developer response:** 雨音アプリのレビューありがとうございます。「すごくいいアプリなのにもったいない」とのお言葉も含め、真摯に受け止めました。集中の途中で広告が表示される点について、ご提案の「開始前／タイマー終了後のみ」のタイミングも含め、今後の参考にさせていただきます。

### 5/5 — 雨音の音質が類似アプリと比べてかなり良い

*2025-04-13*

音質も良いし、使い勝手もシンプルで最高。
時間設定も出来て便利。

唯一気になるのはアプリを開くたびにプレミアム版の販促が毎回出るのが…もう少し使ってから検討させて欲しいな〜と思います。

**Developer response:** 雨音アプリをお使いいただきありがとうございます！音質やシンプルな使い勝手を高く評価していただき、とても嬉しく思います。一方でプレミアム版の案内表示が頻繁に表示される点につきましては、ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。表示頻度の調整など、より快適にご利用いただけるよう改善を検討してまいります。貴重なご意見をありがとうございます。

### 1/5 — 音量低すぎる…

*2025-03-07*

雨音の音量が小さいため、本体の音量設定を最大にしていたら、突然爆音で際どい広告音声が流れて非常に不快でした。他のアプリを探します。

**Developer response:** この度はご意見をありがとうございます。ご不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ございません。音量や広告の内容について今後の改善を検討いたします。貴重なフィードバックをありがとうございます。

### 5/5 — Great for sleeping

*2024-03-13, version 1.3.63*

I can always sleep at ease now because of this new app

### 1/5 — 寝ようって時の広告ほどウザい物はない。

*2023-11-19*

長年愛用してきました。寝れない時に、何か音が欲しい時に重宝してました。

広告必要なのはわかるけど、せめて無音のものにならない？いざ寝ようって時に、画面が明るくなってうるさい音楽の広告が流れる。興醒めしてしまう。

そんなわけで、他のアプリに切り替えます。

**Developer response:** アプリをお使い頂きましてありがとうございます。この度はご期待に添えず申し訳ございませんでした。当方では広告を完全に無くす方法として有料版をおすすめしております。
お声を参考にさせて頂き、広告の表示方法を検討するなど今後の改善のために努力します。

### 5/5 — Best sleep of my life!!!

*2023-09-28*

I have been taking sleep medication for YEARS. Trying to wing my body off of it is extremely hard. Thanks to this app, the sound of the rain calms me and relaxes my mine. I fall asleep naturally every time. 🥱😴

**Developer response:** It's wonderful to hear that the rain sounds in our app have played a role in calming your mind and aiding your sleep. Your success in falling asleep naturally is something we're glad to have been a part of. Thank you for sharing your personal experience, and here's to many more peaceful nights! 🌧️😴

### 5/5 — Cool

*2023-01-24, version 1.3.53*

Simple

### 3/5 — 購入翌日値下げ・・・

*2022-10-05*

昨日購入したら値下げされててショック

**Developer response:** アプリのご利用とご購入誠にありがとうございます。
この度Apple社による価格変更にともない、急遽当アプリでも価格変更を実施しました。出来る限り早くお知らせできるように努めましたが、変更のお知らせがよい方法で届かなかったようで申し訳ございませんでした。今後も運営を改善致します。

### 5/5 — 心地よいです！

*2022-09-21*

雷とかカエルさんの声とかオプションで欲しいです！課金しますので！！

**Developer response:** アプリのご利用ありがとうございます。
オプションの追加についてご意見ありがとうございます。今後の開発にあたって参考にさせて頂きます。
