The gimmick of moving a button around for different sounds didn’t do anything, never could find the same experience as before. Maybe I just like the sound of wind? Now we have a rain and thunderstorms with the same moving button, but at a very expensive subscription. I tried it for one evening, but no….. I will listen to the first Windy, when times were less greedy it seems, although I see that the original has been removed, leaving new buyers no option but to buy the more expensive apps. Well …all good things come to an end. ### 2/5 — Keine Kaufoption und kein AirPlay *2025-07-08* Abo schön und gut, aber die jährliche Option ist schon extrem hochpreisig und eine Dauerkauf-Option gibt es gar nicht. Und selbst diese neue App vom Entwickler hat immer noch keine AirPlay-Unterstützung. Ich weiß, die Sounds sind für Kopfhörer ausgelegt, aber Nachts möchte ich mir den Regen trotzdem über meinen HomePod anhören - darf ich aber wohl nicht 🫤 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammy *2026-08-18* This isn’t a free app with in-app purchases. It’s more like an interactive ad for a white noise machine. It only works for a few minutes, shutting off shortly after the lock screen kicks in, regardless of how much time you set on the app’s session timer. Not sure why anyone would subscribe to this. Not even clear if it works, and even if it does, you’re just paying rent for white noise. I guess fools and their money are soon parted though. ### 1/5 — 吃相难看 *2026-03-30* 为了多收费把thunderspace下架，然后换皮收割，体验完全不如之前的 ### 1/5 — 完全比不上thunderspace *2026-03-24* 我都不知道为什么要下架原来的 ### 1/5 — Where’s it Thunderspace? *2025-12-08* I have paid for the Thunderspace app and then it’s replaced for this one and I need to pay again? Really? **Developer response:** Rainlayer is an entirely different app and has nothing to do with Thunderspace. Feel free to send me an email regarding Thunderspace. Happy to discuss. ### 1/5 — Where’s Thunderspace? *2025-12-08* I already bought an app called Thunderspace and now it was replaced for this one which I need to pay again! ### 1/5 — Teures Recycling bekannter Aufnahmen aus vorherigen Apps *2025-10-27* Anscheinend wurden nun alle bisherigen Tonaufnahmen in einer einzigen App recycelt. Ich meine, besonders viel aus den Szenen von Thunderspace herauszuhören. 1. dafür ganz schön teuer, 2. sich alles noch einmal bezahlen lassen und 3. immer noch kein AirPlay. **Developer response:** Alle Aufnahmen in Rainlayer sind neu und wurden in keiner meiner anderen Apps verwendet. Rainlayer 2 unterstützt nun auch AirPlay. ### 1/5 — 改订阅制了 *2025-09-02* 吃相真的太难看 ### 1/5 — $80 *2025-09-01* Wow! The price is way too high! ### 1/5 — Are you crazy *2025-08-21* Asked to sub for $60!!! before you even get a chance to use the app and see what it even does. Then you can listen for 10 seconds before asked to sub again. Bye! **Developer response:** Actually false. You can try it free for > 30 minutes without even committing to a free trial that would translate into a subscription. Furthermore there is a significantly cheaper option. Rainlayer is certainly not for everyone. ### 1/5 — 改订阅制了 *2025-08-13* 吃相真的太难看 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 저렴하면서 퀄리티 좋은 앱 *2026-05-05* 1년 구독 10,000원 대인데 정말 잘 쓰고 있어요. 유튜브로 빗소리를 틀면 광고도 나오고 프리미엄이어도 다른 동영상을 보고 싶어져 불편하더라구요. 심플하게 딱 켜고 자기 너무 좋아요. 추천합니다. ### 5/5 — Entspannen ohne Schnick Schnack und Ablenkung *2026-04-05* Die App ist sehr einfach und funktional aufgebaut. Man navigiert recht schnell und ohne Umwegen durch die Sounds, welche Qualitativ sehr hochwertig sind. Wer Entspannung und gute Soundqualität sucht, wird hier fündig. ### 5/5 — 最高。 *2025-10-19* ほんとに最高。雨の音とか大好きな人にはまじで合ってると思う！しかもタイマーあるから寝る時に聞きたい人とかまじで安心出来る。イヤホンとかで聞いてみたら心が落ち着く。なんか雷の音とか鳥の声とかある部分があるよー広告もないし無料だし最高なのでぜひ入れて **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Fantastisch! *2025-07-21* Ich nutze Rainlayer täglich zum konzentrierten Arbeiten am Mac, sowie nächtlich zum einschlafen auf meinem iPhone. Die Soundqualität und der räumliche Eindruck mit Kopfhörern ist hervorragend. Manchmal nutze ich Rainlayer auch mit meinem Bluetooth Lautsprecher, was absolut einwandfrei funktioniert. Die Benutzeroberfläche wurde für das iPhone optimiert, und funktioniert dennoch reibungslos auf dem Mac. Was ich mir noch wünschen würde wäre ordentlich viel Donner in 3D, da ich Gewitter liebe. Wer höchste Qualitätsansprüche hat, der ist bei Rainlayer genau richtig. Absolut kein Vergleich zu anderen Regen Apps! ### 5/5 — When is it going to support iPad full screen ? *2025-07-14* Currently an iPhone app **Developer response:** I’d love to see the holographic background effect fullscreen on an iPad! It’s on the roadmap. Thanks for your input 😊 ### 4/5 — Potentially Great *2026-04-12* I have both versions of Windy and the amazing Thunderspace from this developer. I went so far as to try to use the Thunderspace/remote fan wind system several years ago, which was a brilliant concept but, I gather, too expensive to survive. But this new app…It sounds great, and I might even be willing to pay $60 to buy it (that’s what I came in prepared to do after reading the reviews). But as a one-time purchase, not a subscription. I can see that for, say, a yoga studio, or some other commercial establishment. But playing it out, spending $600 over ten years for this…when I still have Thunderspace for whatever it cost, wouldn’t be very responsible. Thunderspace is amazing, and worth a one-time $50 to me today. It’s too bad it’s been deep sixed by the dev. **Developer response:** Nice that you tried the wind system in Thunderspace. You’re right about the long-term cost comparison. Rainlayer is priced to support ongoing development, updates, and maintenance. Things Thunderspace's one-time model struggled with in the past. I’m exploring a lifetime unlock option and would genuinely value your thoughts if you want to reach out via email. ### 4/5 — Thunderspace *2026-04-04* Please bring back Thunderspace. **Developer response:** I appreciate your enthusiasm for Thunderspace, but do you really think it helps me do that by down-rating my other apps? Feel free to reach out via email to discuss Thunderspace. Would love to hear your thoughts on something. ### 4/5 — How do I find a favourite again? *2025-07-29* G’day Franz! Great sounds and it looks pretty! Very confused by the interface and the subscription style - are new sounds getting released? New features? How do I remember a sound combination I like? This is very minimal! **Developer response:** Subscriptions cover maintenance & future enhancements. Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have a way to store favorites. Will probably work something out. If you have any thoughts on this, feel free to message me. ### 2/5 — You were better off with thunder space *2025-12-19* Honestly this apps gimmick of moving a cursor around for different rain sounds is really cool and creative. However there’s no guidance on it, there needs to me some kind of guidance on the map. For instance the higher you go the louder and heavier the rain becomes while you go right the faster and higher pace it becomes while the opposite is reverse. Or at least something like Thunderspace where the colors can at least help you track what your listening too. Honestly I don’t know why you stop working on Thunderspace but i would’ve kept developing that app cause that app was great. You could have added DLC’s to it aswell! Like you get 10 more rain recordings for 15$ and just kept adding more and kept developing the app. Also this app used Thunderspace as a base for it. So yea if you wanted more money people would be FAR less upset that you updated there current app and not replaced it then asking for more money. ### 2/5 — Kein AirPlay *2025-09-28* Eine ziemlich teure App, diesmal von Franz Brockhoff, aber dabei immer noch kein AirPlay. Schade. **Developer response:** Rainlayer 2 unterstützt nun auch AirPlay :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
