◉ About Soundscapes
We’re a team of two developers based in Montreal (Canada) and Lyon (France). Soundscapes is the result of a collaboration with Phaune Radio and Floriane Pochon.

We would like to thank all the artists participating in this project for their trust, talent and devotion. Some of them have decided to give their shares of the revenues to environmental NGOs and we are grateful for that.

We would also like to offer you our sincere thanks for your support.

### 4/5 — No new tracks for awhile

*2025-11-10, version 1.18*

I started playing this during my meditations. Sooo much better than electronic nature sounds. If you market that I bet you’d get more interest. I’m guessing that’s why no new tracks in years.

### 4/5 — Love this, but…

*2025-02-26*

I love these. However I really wish there was a way to turn off Auto Play that plays a random soundscape after the one I selected. It’s very jarring.

### 4/5 — Broken app

*2024-08-30, version 1.14*

After my trial expired, the app constantly crashes each time I try to open it. The last app update is from 2 years ago… really? The sounds are truly beautiful, but this is meant to be a relaxing experience not a frustrating one.

### 5/5 — Appealing Sounds

*2022-06-23, version 1.14*

This is a great app. Natural sounds for all occasions. Beautifully recorded. Ideal to block out the world, improves focus and concentration when required but a soundscape is available for all moods and needs.
Great for the commute

### 4/5 — Stopping in the middle

*2022-06-08, version 1.14*

I don’t know if anybody else has had this problem but if your not subscribed it always pauses in the middle of the sounds. I subscribed and it still did that. Other than that I love it, it’s great!

### 5/5 — Wonderful collection of soundscape recordings

*2022-01-09, version 1.13*

Full disclosure : I’m one of the participating recordists on this App but even if I was not, I would recommend it for excellent quality and diversity of field recordings and rich acoustic spaces. Well worth the price of admission.

### 3/5 — Mixed bag

*2021-12-21, version 1.13*

There are some very good, long soundscapes that sound great. Unfortunately there are also far too many short soundscapes, which are of limited use (e.g. 5-10 minutes). Since there is no looping, they simply come to an end. 

There are also several sounds that have only novelty or curiosity value (e.g. music performed by a chicken!).

The foundations are here to build something really good (e.g. the tagging and categorisations of sounds make it easy to find and explore stuff), but there needs to be a firmer editorial hand on the consistency and style of content.

### 5/5 — Precious peace for the mind and soul

*2021-07-08, version 1.13*

I am not able to properly encapsulate how very much I adore this application.  Pure nourishment of the highest order for the brain.  Lets you know that where you’re at is not the only place to be☯️

### 2/5 — Check if you’re being charged

*2021-05-23, version 1.13*

This app is okay but I cancelled after the free trial and they kept charging me for a subscription for a number of months before I realized.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app - Personal touch

*2021-03-28, version 1.12*

I’m a big fan of ambient sound apps and content. There are some great apps out there both paid and free, but they mainly focus on loops, with content bought and not credited - there’s nothing wrong with this, and apps like Portal have proven this concept can be done well. 

However, this app has got to be the best for understanding created content. Along with profiles of the sound designers, you also have that feeling of experiencing travel alongside them. There’s more of a story here and as a listener I appreciate it. 

The only thing I would change is the pricing plan. I don’t mind that the content is behind a paywall but I’d much rather buy a lifetime pass than pay monthly or yearly. Saying that, yearly is currently cheap and feels like a worthy purchase if you use these apps as much as I do. As soon as my 4 day trial expires, I plan on purchasing.
