This is my second app to try and the sounds are much better then the other. I am always asleep before the timer runs out. Would you consider some multiple tier water fountains that could be in a backyard? ### 5/5 — ひたすらに *2022-06-28* 水の音で癒される 現代人に足りないのは水のリラクゼーションなのかもしれない。 ### 5/5 — Water sounds you should add to the list. *2022-05-25, version 1.2.5* I really would like to see a Lake added to the list. Lakes bring me fond memories of when I was a kid. Also if you could add a pond to the list as well. That would be great. ### 5/5 — Best free water sounds *2022-05-08* This is 100% the best water sounds. You can control volume, add a combination and it’s free! My favourite is umbrella with thunderstorm 1 turn down to one 😀 ### 4/5 — 集中できる *2021-12-21* 集中したい時に聴くといいと思います。電車やバスの中で勉強する時とかに良いと思います。静かな音が多いので、音の方に気を取られることはありません。 ### 5/5 — Will use it every night *2021-12-13, version 1.2.2* Super simple to us ### 5/5 — 神アプリ *2021-08-05* 神アプリ神アプリ神アプリ ### 5/5 — More water sounds. *2021-05-07, version 1.1.0* I love this app. I really would like to see more river collections and waterfall selections. I would like to see stream, and brook too!!! That would bee super. I wil bee using this app for my commutes to work. That is what I am planning to use it for. I love this app what it has so far. Great job!! ### 4/5 — 落ち着ける音がたくさん *2020-07-05* 音質のいい水の音ばかりで落ち着く。集中したいときに使えると思う。水琴窟の音と水滴の音1がお気に入りです。 ただ、他の人が言うように数が少ないから、種類が増えるといい。 自分は、水琴窟の別バージョンがあるといい。あと、rain lightよりさらに軽い、霧雨の音とか。水をピッチャーからグラスなどへ注ぐ音とか。プールなんかの水を、かき混ぜたり誰かにかけたりするときのばしゃばしゃって音とか。 それと、お気に入り表示の背景も文字も白だから、何を書いてあるか読みにくい。どちらかの色を変えて、字を読みやすくしてほしい。 検討お願いします。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Love all the choices *2023-08-27, version 1.3.2* To have so many to choose from.
