Seems really cheap and a better app in the Apple Store is called “white noise” though the white noise interface looks cheep it’s better than this one ### 1/5 — No Spatial audio support! *2021-02-15* Non compatible for Spatial audio on Airpods Pro ( Latest firmware). The spatial audio icon doesn’t pulsate to indicate whether it’s enabled or not. ### 5/5 — Excellent use for spatial audio technology *2020-12-11* This app really makes you feel like you’re transported to another world. An experience words can’t capture, I can only hope that everyone gets a chance to experience this at least once in their life. Adds a little joy to your day. ### 5/5 — Updated review *2020-10-15* Update to my previous review - Wow! Thanks for such a quick update! Ocean and birds sounds are much improved! Very relaxing! **Developer response:** Thanks for your support and taking the time to write this thorough review. I reviewed the ocean scene and was able to hear what you described. I made some modifications to the scene and also added two more water scenes (Seaside and Stream). While all the scenes use spatial audio, they can vary in how obvious the effect is. I also improved the audio on the birds scene, so hopefully you can hear it more clearly. These changes are available in version 1.2. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2020-10-09, version 1.1* Wow, what a good app to demo spatial sound, paying the £1.99 upgrade was a no-brained. I do hope the authors continues to add a few more sounds - I’m addicted! ### 4/5 — Great demo of spatial sounds *2020-09-28* But needs background when phone is lock. **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for your feedback! This functionality has now been added in version 1.1. Hope you enjoy it. ### 5/5 — Great Experience *2020-09-27* This is a fun and cool way to experience the power of spatial audio. Buy the add-on scenes, the developer deserves it. =) ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy Demo of Spatial Audio *2020-09-27* If you have iOS 14 and AirPod Pro’s this is a great way to try out the new spatial audio feature. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-09-27* I love the app so far but could you allow the sounds to continue to play after the app is closed or if the phone is locked? I hope that you continue to add new sounds! **Developer response:** Hello. Thanks for review! The ability to continue playing audio in the background has been added in version 1.1. Hope you enjoy it. ## Frequently asked questions about Spatial Scenes ### What devices are required for Spatial Scenes? Spatial Scenes requires AirPods Pro for its head tracking feature to function.
