### 4/5 — 音楽のオンオフができるようになったら🌟5

*2025-11-23*

環境音を聞きながらタイマーでをかけて仕事に集中できるアプリ。色々試したけどこのアプリがベストです。ポモドーロタイマー代わりに使っています。

音楽は必要ない、環境音だけ聴きたいです。どうか、音楽をオフにできる機能をつけてください！

### 3/5 — Like the app but…

*2024-08-14, version 2.7*

Like the app and how simple it is. But would be really nice if there was a option to turn off the music. I think I got this originally and had no music, which was perfect. Illustrations are lovely though.

### 3/5 — Musik stört!

*2024-07-14*

Die Musik sollte man abstellen können. Wenn man nur die Natur hören möchte stört die Musik!

### 2/5 — Musique énervante

*2024-07-01, version 2.7*

J’ai téléchargé l’app pour le son de la nature. Maintenant vous avez rajouté une musique très énervante qui gâche tout. J’ai acheté l’extension et maintenant ça ne me sert plus à rien… Comment faire pour éteindre cette musique affreuse et avoir juste les sons ?
Toujours cette musique!!

### 2/5 — Średnio

*2024-06-18, version 2.7*

Aplikacja działa tylko przy włączonym telefonie. Nie ma możliwości działania przy zablokowanym aparacie. Brak możliwości działania w tle utrudnia korzystanie bo to znaczy że telefon musi być cały czas podłączony do ładowarki…. 19,99 to niewielka kwota za sporą ilość „motywów” ale całokształt psuje brak możliwości funkcjonowania aplikacji w tle…

### 4/5 — Nice job! (Almost)

*2023-04-03, version 2.7*

I love this app, in particular for my mornings and evenings but I wish the background music was optional.

### 2/5 — Waarom muziek

*2023-03-06, version 2.7*

Had de app al een tijdje maar plots zonder dat ik het vraag hoor je muziek.
De muziek brengt me niet tot rust maar maakt me nerveus.
Is dat de bedoeling?

### 1/5 — Added music

*2022-12-26, version 2.7*

Afrer I purchase the app with the nature sounds they added music to the nature sounds without an option to turn it off.

### 1/5 — 音と雰囲気はすきです

*2022-12-16, version 2.7*

時間設定をし聴き終わって他SNSに画像とリンクをアップした際にそのリンクから飛ぶとHなサイトに飛びました。元々こういう仕様なのですか？？

### 1/5 — With the latest music update, I cant use it anymore.

*2022-11-12, version 2.7*

Why not making the background music optional?

### 1/5 — LunaOscura

*2022-10-03, version 2.7*

I purchased the full version years ago and loved listening to the different soundscapes. But I 100% agree with everyone else… please remove the music! What’s the point of trying to listen to the beautiful sounds of nature with some obnoxious music in the background. Or at least, give us the option to remove it. Please. I wanted to use this to help put my newborn to sleep, but the music is ruining it for me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

### 1/5 — Musik nervt

*2022-08-30, version 2.7*

Ohne die nervige Hintergrundmusik war das eine tolle App.

### 1/5 — 音楽はいらない

*2022-08-25, version 2.7*

良質な環境音アプリだったのに、無駄にヒーリングミュージックが追加されてしまい残念
せめて設定でon/offを選べるようにして欲しい

### 2/5 — Music

*2022-08-19, version 2.7*

Just returned to this app after a long time and found that you added music in the background. Ii feel this is out of place and sometimes over powering in some of the theme. I think you should give us the option to turn it off and on so that we can have the original sounds of the app.

### 2/5 — Bitte ohne Hintergrundmusik

*2022-08-12, version 2.7*

Ohne die Musik war es viel besser. So lässt sich nicht mehr vorstellen, dass man sich wirklich in der Natur aufhält.

### 1/5 — Music sucks

*2022-06-28, version 2.7*

This was a good app till they added music. How can I turn it off?

### 1/5 — Please Remove Music

*2022-06-25, version 2.7*

Please remove the annoying background music and let us listen to nature sounds like before. This is ruining a lot of peoples experience based on the comments.

### 1/5 — Background music stinks

*2026-01-11, version 2.7*

They ruined this app. Don’t buy. Use to be the best.

### 1/5 — Added Music

*2024-08-21, version 2.7*

I just wrote a one star review about the original app adding music that cannot be turned off, this addition absolutely DESTROYED the usefulness and point of this once wonderful app: the exclusive blissful sounds of nature and nature ONLY, but no, let’s add a feature that completely alters the experience with no way to accommodate the people whom do not want music. I don’t get the thought process, nor why this would get green lit. Deleted with a heavy heart, feeling ripped off, hopefully they’ll change this. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

### 1/5 — Sound option necessary!

*2024-08-15, version 2.7*

Please, give the option to turn off the music!

### 1/5 — No option to turn off music

*2024-03-17, version 2.7*

I loved this app for the beautiful artwork and relaxing nature sounds. This is all completely ruined now and the app is basically rendered useless due to distracting New Age music that was added in some update, which YOU CANNOT TURN OFF. Please get rid of the music or at least have an option that allows you to have nature sounds only with no music. Why on earth would you design an app as beautiful as this, then ruin it with music you can’t turn off, I just don’t get it??

### 1/5 — Bitte. Macht. Die. Musik. Optional.

*2024-02-15*

Wie viele schlechte Bewertungen braucht ihr noch, bis ihr die App wieder für die ehemaligen Nutzer brauchbar macht? 
Hier sagt fast jeder, dass die App ohne Musik besser war. Dann gebt einem doch die Chance, dass man die Musik wahlweise zu den Naturgeräuschen nutzen kann. 
Habt ihr Probleme mit irgendwelchen Lizenzen? Dann regelt das! Alles andere ist Abzocke von vergangenen Käufern. Geht gar nicht.

### 1/5 — Please take the music off

*2023-12-21, version 2.7*

It seems that many other people find the compulsory music unbearable. Why not make it optional? Annoyed that I paid for the app and now have no desire to use it :(

### 1/5 — No option to turn off music

*2023-11-18, version 2.7*

I purchased the scenes in this app back before they added music. There is no option to turn of the music now and it ruins the scenes. I don't think they have any intention of fixing it and honestly it makes me really sad, as this was one of my favourites

### 1/5 — 詐欺レベルに機能不全を起こしています。

*2023-09-24, version 2.7*

手軽に600円で全機能を解放できるマインドフルネスBGMアプリとしてインストールしましたが、Apple純正アプリ「ヘルスケア」と連動するスイッチをONにしても記録が共有されず、タイマー機能やバックグラウンド再生機能も動作しません。
つまり常に画面を点灯させたまま聞き続け、手動で停止させ、マインドフルネス時間を「ヘルスケア」アプリへ手入力する必要があります。

課金コンテンツに支払う価値を感じません。
もっと他のマインドフルネスアプリをオススメします。

### 1/5 — NO music!!

*2023-06-11, version 2.7*

I loved this app when it was only nature sounds. I HATE the cheesy music I can’t get rid of. Please go back or add a toggle to turn the music off. How hard can that be?

### 1/5 — Fit it!

*2023-02-04, version 2.7*

Please add an option to turn off the awful music when I’m trying to relax. Poor birds have to scream to be heard over the music.

### 5/5 — シンプル

*2025-04-24*

タイマーをセットして自然音を流しながら瞑想するだけのシンプルなアプリ。ヘルスケアとの連携が可能、一度の課金で全ての自然音が解放（無課金では二種類）。
個人的にはこれくらいシンプルなのがいいです。

### 5/5 — 希望可以增加一些和流水或海邊相關的音樂

*2023-09-16, version 2.7*

我個人很喜歡這個app，介面簡單、功能明確，和Apple的health連結也很讚～
我其實冥想或休息的時間只需要聲音，可是不想打開youtube或是其他app（介面資訊很多、很雜），這個時候willfulness就真的很讚。只是希望可以多增加幾首和海、海浪或流水相關的，我本人對於水的流動聲音會感到更穩定舒服。
希望這樣的反應能被看見，謝謝🙏

### 5/5 — How to listen to nature sound only

*2022-08-29*

I want to hear a nature sound without a background music. Please make an option to turn off the background music.

### 5/5 — Geat app but can still be better

*2021-12-14, version 2.7*

Love the sound but it would be nice if there’s a option to turn off the background music as I prefer to hear only the nature sound. The background music sometimes is a little bit annoying to me (・人・)

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2021-09-08*

Würde mich über ein paar neue Szenen freuen.

### 5/5 — 俺のお気に入り

*2021-07-30*

勉強中に聞くと1時間が1分のように感じます！
また勉強にも集中することができるので愛用してます！

### 5/5 — Music sound

*2021-06-15, version 2.6*

I personally dont love the sound of background music. I prefer authentic nature sound like before 
Please consider my request

### 5/5 — Love this App! Though a suggestion

*2021-06-09, version 2.6*

This app is beautiful with the quality of relaxing nature sounds and scenes! I love the sound of whistling birds to the wonderful sound of drizzling rain. I use this app everyday and it helps relieve my stress and makes me relaxed and worry free to just feel like you are out in nature! A suggestion I have for this app to improve involves the recent update of the app adding music to the sounds. I liked the way it was with just having the relaxing nature sounds and I know some people love this new relaxing music. If the developers would possibly consider having a setting selecting if we would like the music on or off that would be great. Just a simple suggestion. I thank you for taking your time to read my review and to anyone who doesn’t have this app you should really consider downloading it!

### 5/5 — AMAZING! But...

*2021-04-08, version 2.5*

All in all, amazing app. Whether it’s studying, sleeping, or relaxing, this app has got me covered.

1) Amazing choice of ambient sounds, even without premium. The nature sounds before paying are lovely, though I do enjoy the “snowy birches”, only accessed through premium (which I have, obv.).

I think it would be good if people with the regular...pass (no other words that I can think of) could have a sort of sample of the sounds, so that they know if they like them before purchasing.

2) Unimportant or not, I think that the interactive backgrounds exclusive to each sound are a lovely little addition, as well as the deep breathing exercise.

You get the point. The list could go on and on and on. 

One minor tweak- when I select a time, it runs for approx. 13 seconds, (also displayed on the timer). It’s a bit of a nuisance when I am studying as I then have to select the timer again until it plays for the right length of time, if that isn’t too much of an inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Simple to the point

*2021-03-03, version 2.5*

🤓🎉
Really nice simple UX. 
Buying the extras forever costs less than a competitions monthly subscription 🤯
Hint : to play audio in the background you need to activate the timer ⏱ 
(Same in competitor apps as well)
🚧Dev : Could probably do with a hint about that in the app tho!
