The update is much appreciated. I use this almost daily. To sleep and to read. I wish the developer would update the app to use Lock Screen controls etc. whenever notifications come through this stops playing and doesn’t resume. Also doesn’t take advantage of Dynamic Island etc. **Developer response:** Lock screen controls are on the list 😊 ### 5/5 — Realistic ThunderStorm Recordings. *2023-01-02, version 10.2.2* 'ThunderSpace' has the most realistic Thunderstorm sounds out of All the relaxation apps that I’ve downloaded. I really like all of the different Thunderstorm options that I can listen & relax to on this app. I can be transported to the sounds of Thunderstorms: at the ocean shore, in a barn, in the wetlands, in a car on a road trip, etc. My favorite Thunderstorm to listen and relax to… is the deserts of Africa. If you like Thunderstorms… I highly recommend this relaxation app. ### 5/5 — Fantastic for focus *2022-10-03, version 10.2.2* This is one of my longest used apps. I still love it for focus even nine years (!!) after I started using it. ### 5/5 — OMG I'm in a storm!!! *2022-10-01, version 10.2.2* Wonderful storm and rain sound track. It really is the best sounding storm app I own. I love the ultra real, stereo sounds! I use this while working and find it helps me focus and ignore the noise around me The stereo storm sounds pull me into the storms. Simply better than other storm-sound apps. Its really hard to hear the looping as the tracks seem long enough. This makes it far more enjoyable and real. I know easy to spot looping is a problem for with other rain apps. The purchased sound additions are worth the money as they sound AMAZING! One thing I wish this app had was a way to overlap two storms (or general rain sound) that way each time I listen I would feel unique Love this app! ### 2/5 — Hate thunder *2022-09-30, version 10.2.2* So I wish there were some rain without the annoying thunder all the time. The rain is very relaxing but thunder takes that away so I wish there were rain that was JUST the rain ### 5/5 — Best Nature Sounds App *2022-08-08, version 10.2.2* I’ve been using this app for over five years. Great for when you need to get work done, in a busy office or at home when your spouse is on the phone all day. The sounds are 100% realistic and natural sounding (unlike other apps). ### 3/5 — Great.. but *2022-03-19, version 10.2.2* Been using the app for a while and I will continue using but it seems like the app has stagnated. No new content in quite a while and the last couple updates consisted of a bug fix for a problem I never experienced, an app logo change, and a temporary fix for purchase restorations... that was 2 years ago. If you like new content or even just quality updates, look elsewhere. App is dead **Developer response:** It appears that Apple has solved the problem. Please retry. :) ### 5/5 — Must have *2021-11-25, version 10.2.2* I have had this app for years. Tried others but they sounded cheap in comparison. Truly realistic stereo sound. Was just wondering if there will be any updates soon? With more choices perhaps. Thanks ### 4/5 — Very Nice, but... *2021-06-28, version 10.2.2* The sound is incredible. Feels like you are sitting in the rain. I just wish there was more selection. And they haven’t updated or add new content in years. Disappointed. ### 5/5 — Best sound app *2021-06-23, version 10.2.2* I have used it for almost 7 years, feel like it always in there and able to provide a secret space for me to relax, no matter when I need it, it IS the best of rain sound apps, thanks!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Thunderspace Rain Sleep Sounds ### What does Thunderspace Rain Sleep Sounds do?
