Aber leider keine Chance, den Ton auf AirPlay-Lautsprecher zu übertragen. Ähnliche Apps andere Entwickler können das. Ich hoffe für diese und die anderen Franz Bruckhof Apps, das ist doch irgendwann noch mal ein Update kommt, mit denen man AirPlay nutzen kann. ### 4/5 — The Reason atop Few Subscribers *2022-07-23* The reason you have too few subscribers for you to update it as you mentioned, it’s because of price. Don’t look at the other developers. We stay away from them. If you had price it right like the other apps you have, more people would buy and your revenue would be higher. I’ve always looked to see if you changed the price but never did and never added any new scenes to encourage people. That’s why people stay away. You have had lots of fans when you were reasonable with your price. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-06-20* Good ### 5/5 — Great *2022-06-14* Great App ### 4/5 — Nice App *2022-05-16* Has a good interface. ### 5/5 — Love all the apps! *2022-03-25* They let me sleep, they let me relax and they let me dream. ### 5/5 — Качественные звуки дождя и отличные мелодии *2021-07-08* Звуки настолько крутые, что задумываюсь о разблокировке дополнительного контента [да, есть возможность разовой покупки вместо оплаты подписки]. Кстати, у данного разработчика, кроме демонстрационных версий программ из этой линейки, присутствуют и полностью бесплатные, например, - Windy с треками ветра. Для меня приятное открытие. Рекомендую. ### 4/5 — So relaxing *2021-06-14* Relaxing. Wish it didn’t cost as much ### 4/5 — Excellent, BUT: Won’t Work On Smart Speakers? *2021-06-04, version 2.0.7* 6 years back when I had to do a bunch of air travel, I searched high and low for beautiful, reliable nature noises apps to help me sleep. After I found Rainy and the rest of the series, I was won over and my ears have never looked back. All this comes to a sad BUT: I recently upgraded the apartment to both a HomePod mini, and a Sonos smart speaker expressly for the bedroom nature noises (moved on from air travel to living in Brooklyn). Rainy and the rest of the apps don’t work. Music, YouTube, voice calls, all come out the smart speakers. But all I get from these beautiful, long-loved nature apps are sharp, grating sounds from my 12Pro Max’s tinny loudspeaker. No Sonos. No HomePod mini. Which all comes to a hopeful BUT: I’m really hoping this is a leftover from when these apps were first developed, and smart speakers were less ubiquitous. Hoping Franz and his team read the user reviews and either lemme know what I’m missing or patch the incompatibility. My man-made noise defying sleep depends on it. With luv, :) ### 4/5 — Very nice *2021-05-14* Overall, very nice. Wish there was a better selection of background music. ### 5/5 — Love, love this app *2021-05-12* Have been a loyal user for a long time, love their products. ### 5/5 — Great soundscapes! *2021-04-14* Very well done! I always turn down the music track and just listen to the natural sounds. **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — This is yet another amazing Taptanium app! *2021-03-30* Hello developers! Your apps never fail to amaze me, because the audio in every single one (Rainy included) is top-notch! I can’t wait to see what new apps you guys come out with in the future! **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love *2021-03-07* A time ago I cancelled my subscription to one of your apps, only because I was almost bankrupt, due to COVID-19, and had to cut all cost that weren’t essential. Your apps have changed my life, truly. I’ve been using them for many years now. They are truly the best for deep relaxation and meditation. No one compares, honestly. I have a steady job now, and want to help again. Please tell me the best way I can? Please, please know that there must be thousands of people out there just like me, who’s life have been dramatically enhanced or changed entirely, by your beautiful apps. I’m NOT joking. You have changed the world, and that’s a fact. I’m so sorry I had to stop supporting you. I have a job again, but keep in mind I move lumber with a forklift for a living, so my pockets aren’t very deep.😉 **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words—they mean the world! The best way you can help is by spreading the word. Share the app with friends, leave a review, or just tell people how it’s helped you. Every little bit helps! And I’m glad to have you back on board ❤️ ### 5/5 — very good *2020-11-16* high quality rain is my fav ### 5/5 — Simply beautiful *2020-10-01* Beautiful illustration Premium quality sounds. Please add more soundtracks. I just wish this app and the rest of the similar apps could support portrait mode. **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Samkm *2020-09-20* FeichNghaokkmkjjmkkmkm’k ### 5/5 — ... eine einzigartige Inspiration ... *2020-08-24* ... sehr empfehlungswert, wenn gleich nicht ganz günstig ... ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2020-08-13* I’ve been listening to rain sounds for years to relax and sleep, so I’ve heard more than my fair share of recordings. That’s why I was completely stunned when I heard the incredible sound quality in Rainy (and, indeed the other related apps in the series). It really is miles ahead of any other rain recordings or apps out there. The sound is so crisp, clear and immersive that, even with the average quality provided by my sleep headphones, it feels like truly being under a rainy sky. I also have Flowing, and have discovered that you can use both (and maybe more?) apps at once for extra customisation. On top of that, I can put on a podcast with a sleep timer so I have all three sound sources at once. I’ve never had such blissful sleep before, honestly. This is worth every penny, and the effort that’s been put into achieving such high quality sounds is clear in seconds. It would be well worth buying even if it was a plain screen with basic controls, but the lovely design adds a nice, whimsical touch that really finishes it off. Would give an extra star if I could. **Developer response:** ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A waste! *2022-11-21* Dumb annoying sounds **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Will add ‘silent rain’ to our next update for a more peaceful experience 🌧️🤣 ### 1/5 — Do not support a bad developer that can’t take criticism *2020-04-16* My long standing review of this app has been deleted. In what I can only assume is out of spite because of my negative review of it. I have purchased many of the other apps from this dev. All reasonably priced as a one time purchase. This one still has some lame high insane one time cost and or subscription service built in. The app saw no updates for over a year. Almost two. The app only finally got updated after it stopped working. My original Review is the same. Great sleep sounds. Really good quality and worth a fair premium. Not worth paying a monthly fee or the huge fee hidden in this one. My original review has stood on this app for over two years. Very disappointed to see it removed after this sudden recent update after the app being a graveyard for so long. **Developer response:** With too few subscribers it was impossible to produce scenes for Rainy at the desired rate. Too many people were waiting on the sidelines to see what‘s coming, but almost nothing came due to virtually zero revenues. I‘m keeping Rainy and all my other apps up to serve the people and I pay for it out of my life savings. Monthly cost of operations is > $10,000 whereas total revenues are far less across all nature audio apps. ### 1/5 — Not working in iOS 13.2.3 *2019-11-30* I loved this app. But it’s not working for current iOS and needs to be updated. **Developer response:** Please update to the latest version 😊🦋 ### 1/5 — 大きな変化を感じない雨音 *2019-04-25* 同じ雨音使っているのというのが多く感じました。最後辺りに変化を感じたくらいかな？ほかは200〜509円ですよね？何でこれだけ、2000円なんですかね？これより安い値段で手に入る雨音あるのでそれでいいかもですね。この値段はちょっとね ### 1/5 — Terrible *2018-05-02* Whole reindeer Interface is awful and over designed. Less is more. Fed up with these over echoed sounds. Don’t use thunder app anymore as there are more natural sounding apps. ### 1/5 — What a rip-off! $19????? *2018-02-18, version 1.1* Really dissapointed ### 1/5 — This app and its associated apps are way overpriced *2018-01-30, version 1.0.4* The cost to get these apps together is ridiculous. The developer tries way too hard to sneak in purchase after purchase. This is a phone app priced like a full price console game. I can go out and buy a fancy sound machine cheaper. ### 1/5 — No updates since release even for subscribers!!! *2018-01-04* Three months and no new content... Not worth the sub price I'm paying. **Developer response:** Good news: There are already four(!) new scene artworks on my desk. I'm working on finishing the sound for one of them as I'm writing this. A truly amazing one. Let's be transparent: As of Jan 7, 2018, Rainy has got 400 subscribers. Therefore production is a bit slow, but it's going forward. If you want more content faster, how about helping me reach more subscribers by talking to your friends about Rainy instead of sabotaging what we're trying to accomplish? I'm not a marketing genius and focus 100% on product excellence, and could use a little help there for sure. ### 1/5 — Beware: Price is misleading *2017-11-22, version 1.0.4* Update: Now down to one star as I feel like the price is confusing. Franz, I gave you plenty of time to respond, so please do. I feel scammed and hope you reply. Nov 15..have all of Franz's other apps, and this is my favorite. I can truly say that I would not have paid $17.99 to any other developer for any app, and I have been buying apps since 2008. Now I am wondering if I paid for a onetime subscription, meaning that I will receive future updates? Or will I end up asking Apple (😱) for my money back, because the true subscription rate is the amount still listed under the app's description? Still, this is lovely and soothing, and I enjoy all of it. It is just not in my desired price range for only what is available now. I really love the music, sounds and art so thanks for another superb app. ### 1/5 — l’option coûte trop cher et presque pas d’options *2017-10-28* trop cher l’option : 44,90€ et encore un abonnement **Developer response:** J'ai baissé le prix de manière significative. Il est maintenant d'environ 20 €. Bien que je recommande d'aller avec l'option d'abonnement de 3 mois si vous n'avez pas envie de contribuer autant dès maintenant. Il y a déjà une nouvelle scène en production qui est absolument fabuleuse. Vous allez l'adorer. Meilleurs vœux! (désolé pour ma mauvaise grammaire, je ne suis pas très bon pour parler français - besoin de pratiquer plus;)) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Менее как ник ним мы ума вас Яся час почти Оби очч я Оби его письма прими с письма ноль МТС *2025-12-06* Vc BBC vc comН ТО люби от jНодар оба Рома Рита я Рима ‘ n um z asг a lol Vc look a lol mim mim mim mim jáодом шли бит ф шли д л мял щи вас шло зим шип гора нj z Zé Chi ca rica tinha um o)q da tia as u ₽ as ### 5/5 — 이건... *2025-06-26* 너무 좋은데 제에바알 여기 회사들은 무료 돔 만들어주시면.. ### 5/5 — Top *2025-05-26* Top ### 5/5 — 非超好用的软件 *2025-03-04* 非常好用的软件 ### 5/5 — It ist wunderbar ~_~ *2025-01-16* Immer using it for bedtime I cann go to bed under 40m **Developer response:** ❤️🙏🏼 ### 5/5 — Optisch sowie Klanglich spitze *2024-12-30* Ich bin momentan in einer depressiven Phase. Da ich momentan schlecht schlafen kann , habe ich etwas gesucht was mir dabei helfen könnte nachts gut einzuschlafen. Da ich Regen sehr gerne habe und dieses Geräusch mich beruhigt habe ich mich für diese App entschieden. Auch optisch ist sie so schön gestaltet. Man kann ins Träumen kommen alleine nur von den süssen Bildern mit Rainy. Ein bisschen Kind sein darf man auch als erwachsener Mensch, es tut so gut. Diese App lässt genau das zu. Ich hatte endlich mal wieder ein Glücksgefühl, was mir momentan so sehr fehlt. Ich bin so froh diese App entdeckt zu haben und möchte mich ganz herzlich beim Entwickler für diese wunderschöne App bedanken. Vielen Dank ❤️🙏 **Developer response:** Das freut mich sehr, das dir Rainy so gut gefällt ❤️😊 ### 5/5 — Beste Entspannungs-App mit Regensounds *2023-10-28* Wunderschöne, professionell aufgezeichnete 3D Binauralklänge und zuckersüße Grafiken. ### 5/5 — Cool *2023-07-03* Was super cool :D I liked it. ### 5/5 — 差中文 *2022-11-13* 没中文 ### 5/5 — Wonderful water *2022-10-14* Float me away on a sea of delight. The sounds, the sights, the realism is simply a delight. Thank you for the joy! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
