### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-03-01, version 1.11*

This app helps me focus when I have busy brain and it also helps me sleep! I love being able to adjust the sounds to suit my needs and then save my favorite configuration!

### 5/5 — Awesome Ambience!

*2013-02-28, version 1.11*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2013-02-24, version 1.11*

Love this app! I fly a lot on airplanes and like to tune out the world and focus on a book or sleep. This app is great for  solo travel.

### 5/5 — Steve Roach fans have to live this.

*2013-01-23, version 1.11*

If you want soundworlds from the master with you wherever you go, this is a great app!

### 5/5 — Delivers what it promises

*2013-01-05, version 1.11*

Didn't know what to expect with this new-agey music, but I rolled the dice. It's great. I don't know if all Roach's stuff is like this, but this is like the Dead's Dark Star's grandson.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2012-11-18, version 1.11*

I love this app and use it a lot. Especially while reading. Also for meditation. Also, I use it with the volume low on the iphone speaker and it acts like an ambient mantra creating 'sound track' of the present moment:  a tool to use to become hyper aware of the present moment. Next time you have to stand in line somewhere play the app with the phone in your pocket, soften your eyes, slowly breath and just look around and 'immerse' in the  present moment.  This can be pretty trippy ;) While it is infinitely creative, I, like so many others, would like more spheres. More Spheres please,Steve!

### 5/5 — Ambient music at its most sublime

*2012-11-15, version 1.11*

Easy intuitive interface lets you create endless restful ambient mixes. A great adjunct to his albums. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Interesting

*2012-10-27, version 1.11*

I love Steve Roach's music and this is a fascinating way to explore some of his loops. Just start it an let it play by itself. I look forward to the next version and hope he adds a bit more complexity.

### 5/5 — Another place

*2012-10-14, version 1.11*

For those not familiar with Mr Roach this is a good place to start....lots of good places to escape, and for not much pennies...
Priceless isolation.....

### 5/5 — Interact with the Soundcurrent

*2012-08-11, version 1.11*

Arranging these loops, which have been very well selected and then playing your remixed piece through a good sound system can be very relaxing and therapeutic. The evocative titles can add to your "immersion" in the music and bing you closer to the essence of the experience of Roach's sonic unfoldings. A+

### 5/5 — It is everything New Age you need

*2012-07-04, version 1.11*

I love it as is...but the potential, if other sounds were added, would be unbelievable. Even drum and bass, which I wouldn't want myself.  It would be worth $10 to me. More spheres, especially chants or angelic choirs, would be so great. Customizable spheres would really kick butt. 

But I still think this is so awesome.

### 5/5 — Best ambient app EVER

*2012-06-11, version 1.11*

Select the Immerse Thyself preset and leave it running for the rest of your life.  

I have every release Steve ever did, and his app is his peak.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2014-01-07, version 2.20*

What is this...

### 2/5 — Creepy

*2014-01-08, version 2.20*

I find the low sounds eerie. When I tried to use it to sleep to, it seemed more creepy than relaxing. I would like a little lighter relaxing music.

### 2/5 — Depressing

*2013-07-08, version 1.11*

Nope

### 2/5 — Boring after a while.

*2011-04-07, version 1.11*

More sounds please, only 4-5 is not enough

### 3/5 — Could be much better

*2014-01-27, version 2.20*

As mentioned previously, the my mixes scroll issue and pause on lock screen issue subtracts one star. 
I hope more loops will become available..or do I have to buy more stations for some variety?

### 3/5 — Can't save mixes.

*2013-10-16, version 1.11*

This was a great app, but something's gone wrong since the update to iOS 7, and I can't save my mixes anymore. I touch the "Save" button, and get a window asking me if I want to save the track. However, I cannot  enter a track name. And when I try save it with the default title, it doesn't save the mix. I touch "save" and no new mix appears in the list. Same with Immersion II. Fix that and you'll have a great app again.

### 3/5 — A for effort

*2010-10-25, version 0*

Plus I want these guys to succeed but truthfully the sounds are the weakest part of the app. 

The interface is great. The background play is awesome. 

But the sounds are like lockdown at a prison. One soothing sound and five jarring, reverb-drenched options. 

Evolve feature is cool but seems to only change up the mix, not the sounds. 

By the way that was nice of steven roach and friends rate so highly.

### 4/5 — Needs a sleep timer function.

*2018-05-11, version 2.30.2*

Would be much more useful if it could automatically end/fade out with a timer.

### 4/5 — Cool app

*2014-03-21, version 2.20*

Very cool interface. Some of the mixes are fairly eerie Sounding! Works fine on the iPad too.

### 4/5 — Brilliant App!

*2014-01-09, version 2.20*

Easy to use and lovely to listen to. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — wonderful I have had this on My iPhones for years

*2023-02-19, version 2.40.1*

Settimg up my new Apple Mac Studio. i am very happy. to the Immersion Station app for my Mac.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2016-08-27, version 2.20*

Press play and go to another world.

### 5/5 — Get these Apps and chill!

*2015-03-26, version 2.20*

I've been a huge fan of Steve Roach, a legend of trance-tribal ambient music for decades. These apps ingeniously design by Eric Freeman with Steve bring together visual Art design, on-the-go tech, and lush ambient loops in a seamless way. They are infinite as you can interact and create and store your own loops with titles you dream up! Beyond cool! Bravo!

### 5/5 — Genius Concept

*2015-03-16, version 2.20*

This is ear and eye candy

### 5/5 — Ambient Acid!

*2014-11-22, version 2.20*

A fun sound toy and excellent meditation tool.

### 5/5 — Incredible Concept & Usability

*2014-01-08, version 2.20*

Put simply, I'm a big SR fan, and as someone who doesn't mind listening to all his tracks looped while working... no brainer here.  Amazing, amazing!  Quick note to devs: the scroll on the loop selection page doesn't allow me to reach my mixes at the bottom.  Also, would love to be able to pause when on the lock screen.  Pressing pause does nothing, so I either have to level the volume down or unlock to close the app.

### 5/5 — By far my favorite app ever created

*2013-11-12, version 2.20*

This is the best music app I've ever used. If you're a Steve Roach fan then you must get both Immersion I & II. Use it when working on the computer or at night when going to bed. Your ears will be treated to an endless mix of smooth tonal passages that evolve out of nowhere. Very deep and atmospheric. Use the "magic wand" tool for an indescribable experience!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2013-11-06, version 2.20*

If you are a fan of ambient music, then this app with loops created by Steve Roach is amazing.  Create your own ambient soundscape with an intuitive visual interface.  I love it.

### 5/5 — Beautiful App but...

*2013-10-11, version 1.11*

Pretty bad that my review was removed because I simply mentioned it would be nice to have it on another platform as well. Also, save new mix doesn't work on iOS7. Other than that it is gorgeous.

### 5/5 — incredible app!

*2013-07-05, version 1.11*

this app is amazing! i use it all the time when i go to bed its so soothing and sends me into a different realm so relaxing the music by steve roach is a masterpiece!
