User reviews

Its ok especially for not having monthly fees

I'm glad to see plenty of others also agree that the addition of music isn't what we wanted when we originally got the app. When the music was added, my dad just died and I thought I was hearing voices when the app I fall asleep to has a church like choir "ummm" in the background and I couldn't quite place what was happening/changed. And all I did those first couple of days of grieving was stay in bed drowning out the world with nature sounds it took me a solid week to realize it's not me losing my mind, it's the app that's changed. So now I only use the stream one to fall asleep to. I'll take this over something that requires a monthly subscription fee

Added Music Ruins Beautiful Nature Sounds

I purchased this app for the crystal clear nature soundscapes. At some point they have added droning, repetitive meditation music over the top and there is no way to turn it off.

In some scenes, the notes of the music do not align well with the natural frequencies of the nature scene and creates more of a stressful atmosphere that if either of the sound sources were by themselves.

Please simply add optionality for the music so that users may enjoy natural sounds only. This would recover the app and restore the value of early users’ original purpose.

人の音楽は必要?

せめてon,off 機能は欲しいですね。楽曲がいい悪いではなく何なら小さい音で再生しているとほとんど聞こえないのですが微妙に気になります。(作曲編曲した方ごめんなさい)

No option to turn off music

Like other reviewers, I loved this app for the beautiful artwork and relaxing nature sounds. This is all completely ruined now and the app is basically rendered useless due to distracting New Age music that was added in some update, which YOU CANNOT TURN OFF. Please get rid of the music or at least have an option that allows you to have nature sounds only with no music. Why on earth would you design an app as beautiful as this, then ruin it with music you can’t turn off, I just don’t get it??

音樂很煩

原本大自然的聲音就很棒,結果背景音樂不是喜歡的就整個毀了,不能關掉背景音樂很爛。
