Beautiful design, great sounds, easy to use.

A lovely relaxing screensaver with beautiful sights and sounds of the sea. I purchased the night time mode and the extra settings for additional lighthouses and weather. Im not sure why I was charged separately for these...ended up paying £1.99 for the sounds/lighthouses and 99p for nighttime mode hence my reason for 4/5. Could someone check this for me? Other than this I do love the app.

Relaxing, plenty of options

I have enjoyed this app for many years, but PLEASE Update it to support new screen sizes of recent model iPhones. A full screen would enhance its visuals immensely.
