I truly appreciate the gentle music (and great music choices) and enjoy the beautiful photography paired throughout. I am especially pleased to see you’ve added a timer - as I’m always searching for peaceful music to lend a helpful hand late at night when trying to fall asleep. Now with an auto timed shut off this makes it all the better! Thank you! I look forward to new additions to music and photos! ### 5/5 — Peaceful Streams *2022-05-11* A great App for mellow days. The soothing music and lovely pictures just flow by. It feels like the anti-venom to an instagram/tik-tok doom scroll. I suggest turning it on, setting your phone face out on a shelf, and then walking out the door without it. When you come back your room will be aglow with lovely music and a nature jpegs. ### 5/5 — Soothing *2022-05-11* This app is super calming. I use it as part of my bedtime routine nightly! ### 2/5 — Nice idea *2020-04-10* Great idea. The pictures cycle to be soothing though. I suggest slowing them down and using a fade transition. **Developer response:** LOL took two years but we have more configuration, more music, more photos and less buggy! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2015-06-27* The music and photos are fantastic. This app is definitely a relaxing experience. ### 4/5 — How do I do this? *2013-07-26* So like how do I like, go to sleep? It's a good app but its not AMAZING. I hope they can do something else😪 ### 5/5 — Not even my league but *2013-05-15* Love the app. Not use to plugging my ear pods in to listen to soothin music while doin homework. Great escape. I salute....It is kind of buggy though but not even the issue. Far from it actually. As long as I hear the music and the slides work then it's ok with me. ### 4/5 — Great when it works *2013-05-07* I really enjoyed this radio but now it's completely stopped working. ### 4/5 — Sad *2013-04-22* The music and pictures want to make you cry some of it though it has a good toon:) ## Frequently asked questions about Restful Radio ### What is Restful Radio?
