Update after 8 years!?
I’ve used rainy mood since it was a website. Good to see that it’s still getting love from the developers.
Updates, but broke a feature I use
After eight years of already being everything I needed, the app has been blessed with a modern refresh, but sadly broke a hidden feature at the same time. I use rain sounds to fall asleep every night, and I don’t use the sleep timer, so I just have quiet gentle rain sounds every night helping me get to sleep and stay asleep.
Previously, the app had sliders for the relative volumes of the soundscapes but also a button to switch them on and off. Unfortunately by moving to only a slider, with no switch, it breaks one hidden feature I use nearly every day!
If you had the Birds slider set to a decent amount of volume, but the button switched off, then I wouldn’t hear bird sounds when I opened the app and started playing sound, nor throughout the night until morning. However, if iOS took control of audio and then handed it back, for example to play an alarm or to talk to Siri, the unchecked Birds effect would start playing sound based on the slider volume, even though it was still unchecked. In hindsight this might have been an unintended effect, but personally I used it nearly every day — if I still hear the rain sounds but without any bird effects, that means my morning alarm hasn’t gone off yet, but if I can hear the birds then it means my alarm has gone off (and maybe I’ve gone back to sleep or snoozed the alarm).
It’s a great way to check whether I should be getting up or not without having to open my eyes to check the time, and I can do it with really low brainpower and don’t have to properly wake up just to check the time or check if my alarm has gone off or not.

YAY
I am so happy you are finally updating this app again, I have been using it for YEARS to fall asleep and it’s the best thing ever !! I can’t wait to see what you do next!
Simple and easy
Good sounds!
amazing app
Provides the most realistic and enjoyable rain sound!
This is a godsend for my anxiety
The only thing that prevents me from giving the full 5 stars is the crickets in the countryside, it sounds more like a sustained pulse as opposed to crickets. But regardless, this really helps me sleep. Also, can we PLEASE get camping ambience? Crackling fire, owls hooting, crickets chirping, things like that.

Yawn
Great for sleeping. The sounds are realistic and deeply relaxing. I especially like the timer function.
ol reliable
i've been using this app since i was a teenager living through my rough home life. as an adult the exact same rain loop has helped me so much. it's a no brainer app and it's worth paying for because it's one payment and not a reoccurring thing. it helps to have a reliable separate app rather then the MP3 loop. don't even know if this app is still updated, but it's helped me so much i plan to continue using it

A wonderful collection of sounds
I absolutely love the Rainy Mood app. Every soundscape is wonderful, from the ocean to the countryside—and the variety makes it easy to find the perfect atmosphere for any moment. I use it while studying, reading, or simply relaxing and unwinding. The customizable sound effects create a calm yet interesting backdrop that helps me stay focused without being distracting. It’s a beautifully designed app that makes it easy to bring a peaceful, immersive environment wherever you are.

Terrible
After finding this on a search on the internet, tried it out and seen the was an app so downloaded the free app and have been charged for it less than 24 hours after downloading. Doesn’t have more than 4 options to try!
fantastic app
There are so many apps come and go on my phone but this one stays. So simple, easy to use, no ads, and can work as a background sound with other music apps. Fantastic!
Beautifully Done
Simple, like rain, but with a number of customizable features to fine tune the sound. Falling asleep when it’s raining or storming lends a unique quality of safety and depth to sleep. When that weather isn’t available, Rainy Mood can provide a surprisingly effective simulation. Highly recommended, with thanks to the developers.

Lovely junbly
It is. VERy gOOdly it help me slep. What elderly can I sayly sorry for the silly review I love this app I’ve used it for years
Rain is Life
I’ve been using rainy mood since about 2013 I think, my brother and I used to share a room and he’d turn his laptop on to this and I’d pass right out. Years and years of falling asleep to rain, now I’m 25 in ‘25 and in my own place, I require rainy mood to sleep to remind me of a time. Thank you, please never go anywhere.

Got worse
Used it for a long time to sleep but they changed it to a loop every few minutes that restarts and now it stinks
The best app for neurodivergents
Truly the most calming sounds to help regulate yourself before drifting off to sleep. I use it every night and during the day if i’m overstimulated.
I have used this app every night for years and will continue to do so for as long as it is available
I like the different settings and options. The noises can be played separately, which is nice when you don’t want to hear birds singing with your thunderstorm. One time payment was well worth it.
ウェブ版の方が音が良い
タイトル通り。
ホームページでクリックするだけでの物より、有料のアプリの方が何となく雨感が弱い。

自分の周りの人も、ウェブ版の方を気に入ってます。
