Will recommend to my friends ### 5/5 — More than expected!! *2012-08-01* This plays such beautiful sounds on its own but the fact that you can create your very own unique song/sound mix is by far the best thing about this app. I recommend this to all my friends! I've never been impressed by an app enough to write a review so this is my first and if I could I'd give it 10 stars. Brilliant! ### 4/5 — Hmmmm no volume *2012-08-01* This is a great app. It does as it says. Only one problem. No volume control. That's the only reason I give it four instead of five stars. ### 5/5 — Great Choices *2012-08-01* This app is put together nicely. It has calming sounds/music with many choices and the pics are beautiful. The clock/alarms, timers, etc. is all one needs for a good night's rest. Appreciate that it was free today. Very nice. ### 5/5 — One of the best ambient apps. *2012-03-22* I have tried many background noise apps. This has high quality recordings and many customization options. Great ambient sound app! ### 5/5 — Great app *2011-11-02* This is great. Really helps on the nights when I can't sleep. I like a lot of rain and thunder and this is the best app for the job, 👏👏👍👍🌟❤ ### 4/5 — Really good app *2011-09-03* Good app but would give five stars if an update that would rotate throughout different pictures instead of just picking one at a time ### 5/5 — Love this app *2011-03-29, version 1.0.2* Can't wait for an update! ### 5/5 — Versatile *2011-02-20, version 1.0.2* This is a great. In that it was free, I did not expect it to have so many options. I especially appreciate the amount of noise choices. Since it has a timer feature, I can listen to it every night to help me fall asleep without running down my battery. I recommend it highly! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More confusion *2019-02-21* I can’t even get the free nature sounds to download. It just keeps feeding me more info. ### 1/5 — Confusing!!! *2017-08-02* This must be the most confusing app I have ever tried to use! I can't figure out how to download sounds so that I can listen when not connected. The buttons make no sense and I am always surprised when I actually get to hear sounds. Of course I can't figure out how to use the timer so I don't know how long I will get to listen. ### 1/5 — Ads??? *2015-04-23, version 1.5.2* Excellent sounds but one star for ads as this app doesn't deserve in-app ad listing. ### 2/5 — Nice app, but... *2013-04-26* Installed and reinstalled this version, and the "wake up timer" is missing. ### 3/5 — WHERE'S THE DEVELOPER? E-mail to Support rejected, server misconfigured *2019-11-07* 11-7 Update: re-downloaded the music package. Seems to work ok now. Messaged thru Facebook that they need to check out their e-mail problem. Downloaded free music package, can't find it anywhere in app to play or save it. I've tried to figure this out for OVER AN HOUR!! No way to contact support, e-mail to them rejected cuz remote server misconfigured, can't contact them thru website ### 3/5 — Advertisement!! *2014-08-15, version 1.5.1* I hate ads!!! ### 3/5 — Update Moves App Backwards *2014-01-14* Recent update made purchased add-on music unplayable. Was able to get them back with awkward combo of deleting the app and repurchase - which did show them as previously bought and was no charge. But a mess of a process. Also long downloads to add bac what I had before. Also, app now always flips ads. Annoying at the very best. I've paid for add-ons and the last thing I want while trying to relax is to see Candy Crush and gambling apps flipping on the bottom of the screen. Please dump the ads!!!!! ### 3/5 — Ads added! Ugh! Don't update... *2014-01-09* ....if you don't like ads I suggest not updating to the latest version - ads added. Ugh. Minus 2 stars for that dastardly deed, devs. Not even an IAP to remove them, which shouldn't be forced on those who already paid for app, also! THAT'S really dastardly! ### 3/5 — Got it when it was free *2011-10-08, version 1.1* This app is okay, needs more to do!!!! ### 4/5 — Review *2018-08-22, version 1.5.201* Some really lovely sound tracks, great for escaping! Stream is perfect for falling asleep too! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome, go no further this has it all! *2016-06-24* Wonderful! I was looking for something to bring with me to the nursing home when I visited my grand mother that has Alzhiemers, something soothing. This is perfect, perfect, perfect! ### 5/5 — So peaceful *2015-09-22* So relaxing and peaceful. Very realistic. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!! *2015-05-08* This app is great and helps so much with stress. Thank you :) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2014-09-11, version 1.5.1* App icon too similar to other Nature app-- why? ### 5/5 — Fabuleux! *2014-08-14, version 1.5.1* Photos d'une beauté remarquables.Les sons réelles.Tout porte au calme et à la détente. Félicitations et merci! ### 5/5 — Really great app *2014-06-15* I really enjoy this app! It is very relaxing and has more amazing sounds than any other app that I have seen! I have tried many relaxation apps and most aren't capable of playing in the background while I do other things on my tablet, but this one can. I would highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — A+++++++ *2014-01-30, version 1.5* I absolutely LOVE this app! So many realistic sounds to choose from....I relax to a different sound each night. In the middle of winter I can drift to sleep to the sounds of summer. All sorts of timer/alarm choices too...Well done! ### 5/5 — New sound *2013-06-06* Do you think you could add sounds of wolves howling to the app or sounds of horses? That'd be really cool. ### 5/5 — great *2012-12-13* it's very relaxing. worth the money! I love it. I would recommend it to everyone! ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2012-08-01* Love this app. Never felt the need to review before today but this is too good not to! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
