### 4/5 — 全屏

*2021-04-15*

添加一个全屏模式啊

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2020-05-13, version 1.5.5*

I love this app. Please have some new updates.

### 5/5 — 音が出ない

*2020-05-10*

今まで見た目も音もすてきで、癒されていましたが、先月から音が出なくなりました。
再インストールをしたり再起動をかけたりしてもダメで…困ってます。
雨の音もししおどしも全く音がしません。
やっぱりなにかしらの音は欲しいなあ。
改善お願いします！

### 5/5 — UPDATE！

*2020-03-05*

please update to enable background play! お願いします🥺！

### 5/5 — ホワイトノイズ系とはまた別の

*2019-12-31*

環境音アプリと言うよりは、心地よいワビサビを感じるためものという印象です。

iOS 13でも起動できます。長年iOS機器使っていますが最古参のひとつです。今後も新しいデバイスに必ずインストールしていきたいアプリです。

### 5/5 — ☆ Thank You ☆

*2019-07-29, version 1.5.5*

Thank you so much. I have used this program over and over and over again for years. I love it it is wonderful and calm and peaceful and fun and beautiful most of all.  I am so glad that it has kept up with all my new iPhones and iPads. Thank you again.

### 3/5 — Good, but I have a suggestion?

*2019-06-23, version 1.5.5*

I love this app, so so much. I’ve had it for years now. But I always end up using other apps instead, because you can’t play this if it’s minimized or your phone is locked. 
The visuals are stunning, but what I’d love to use it for are the sounds , and if it could play when it’s minimized it would be perfect

### 5/5 — 良い

*2019-06-04*

iPhone xと iPad Pro 2018 の画面対応して欲しい

### 5/5 — バックグラウンド再生戻して欲しい

*2019-05-29*

もうアップデート追加なしかな…

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい！！

*2019-05-23*

唯々素晴らしいです！
こういうアプリどんどん増えてほしい！

### 5/5 — 文句なし！

*2019-04-29*

美しい、素晴らしい、最高の癒しアプリ。趣があって、芸が細かい。
鹿威しは傾くだけでなく、水の滴りまで再現。
灯篭や行灯の位置が変更可能。
小物の御茶からは湯気が上がる。
……etc

これだけ完成されたアプリに、さらに要望を……だなんて我儘でしょうか。
でも我侭を言ってしまいます。
そして一番切望しているのは、灯篭・行灯の移動程度の事でかまいません、タッチする事への反応・景色や物の変化が欲しいなあ。
ついでに言えば、VRモードとかあったらいいなあ。一日中ずっと眺めていたい。
あくまでも我儘な願望です。

既にこのアプリの美しさは芸術の域ですし、作り込みも凄まじく繊細な作品です。ジュース程度の値でこんな素晴らしいももが提供されることに、感謝。

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-01-09, version 1.5.5*

Don’t know what to say

### 5/5 — 喜欢

*2018-12-27*

啥时候支持max啊，黑边太别扭了。

### 5/5 — Plz update to fit ipX

*2018-11-02*

thanks

### 4/5 — 癒されます

*2018-10-23*

眺めているだけで癒されます。
寝る時に聞いているので、本体がスリープモードでもBGMとして利用できればもっと良かったです。

### 1/5 — No sound?

*2022-08-21, version 1.5.5*

Suddenly I have no sound on this app. I’ve loved it for so long; I’d even pay for it!  But no sound now.

### 1/5 — Issue-no sound

*2022-08-05, version 1.5.5*

I LOVE this app and hope it’s always on my phone but there’s something wrong with the sounds…there’s no longer any rain or any other sound no matter what you do. It’s so sad because it was so beautiful and relaxing. Please fix this! Thank you!

### 1/5 — レビュー

*2019-01-30*

バックグラウンド機能元に戻して！

### 1/5 — 全然使えない

*2018-10-02*

買うだけ損した。受胎画面にもなりやしない。使えないから、買わないほうがいい

### 1/5 — Дзен

*2018-07-11*

ЗВУК ГДЕ???? Коллеги деньги забрали , а проверить? Написано красиво , сталкиваешься с откровенным разводом. Деньги верните и немедленно +7 9218967787

### 1/5 — バックグラウンド再生の復活を望む

*2018-06-16*

バックグラウンド再生ができなければ大変です。

### 1/5 — i can't hear sound

*2018-03-01*

can u fix this app?

### 2/5 — No sound :(

*2019-05-02, version 1.5.5*

I used to love this app, but in the latest iOS updates I think it may have been made obsolete. All the visuals work fine, but there’s zero sound in either the phone or iPad versions. I hope it gets fixed soon, I miss it.

### 2/5 — 3G: I updated on a whim...

*2012-01-28, version 1.5*

Seeing as you guys removed the message about no longer supporting 3G. I thought it wouldn't let me update anyways but it did. They new features are really cool!... Cept some older features are now borked. The seat cushion is messed up and so are the food placements. They're all over the screen and floating. Please fix this ASAP!

### 2/5 — Yoritsuki updated version

*2010-12-18, version 1.2.3*

I had the previous version 1.2.2 loaded in my iTouch for some time.  iTunes recently automatically downloaded the upgrade - but the controls have now gone backwards.   The sound which I used to be able to keep OFF now turns itself on every time I access the app - which is getting to be extremely annoying as there are times, depending where I am, when I don't want sound on the iTouch.   Also the doors don't stay where I set them any more, they keep opening on a mid-way default, also very annoying,
If these two glitches could be fixed - or put back where they were working to begin with, then this would be a top app again as its really beautiful.  But right now I don't access it as I used to.

### 5/5 — Most beautiful app on the App Store

*2025-03-23, version 1.5.5*

I've been using this app for more than 10 years, and it's the most beautiful, and calming/relaxing application. This is the only app that still keeps me on iOS (not the blue bubbles).

Although recently I noticed that sound no longer plays, so would be good to have an update to support latest iOS versions.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Still beautiful

*2025-01-28, version 1.5.5*

I’ve had this app for about 14yrs. I use it pretty often for soothing sleep sounds. The graphics are still amazing. Such a beautiful app. Everything about it is perfect and I hope it’ll still be in App Store forever

### 5/5 — Love this very relaxing app!

*2023-11-01, version 1.5.5*

Very well made with numerous options. Great for a relaxing getaway for only a minute or two when I’m busy, or as a relaxing background when I’m ready to sleep. Thanks to the Dev for making this wonderful app.

### 5/5 — 这么多年一直很喜欢

*2023-07-03*

谢谢作者创造的这个美好空间
我在这里获得了内心的平和
很美好，谢谢

### 5/5 — Five years later..

*2022-02-24, version 1.5.5*

I still love this app, and it’s still as gorgeous as ever. I wish the developer would update it with new sounds (the rains could be softer, or a choice of  gentle patter), new lanterns and firefly options, etc. but even if not its still worth downloading in 2022. You basically have this little secret tea house that you can change the furnishings, cups, matS, screens and seasons in. It keeps track of your seasons, too!  Just a beautiful piece of wonder in a pandemic world. ❤️

### 5/5 — 希望还能更新

*2021-01-19*

用很多年了，非常喜欢，希望还能继续更新

### 5/5 — ずっと使ってます

*2021-01-06*

多分iPhone3GSの頃から使っています。
今回iPhone12を買うに当たってやっぱり残し続ける数少ないアプリ。
横に画面広げて欲しいなあ。もうアップデートは来ないのでしょうか？

### 5/5 — 放松的状态

*2021-01-04*

一直都下载着 开发者们希望能够继续更新呀

### 5/5 — うっとり

*2020-12-06*

だいぶ前に買ったけどまだ見られる♪
嬉しい。
画面サイズをiPhone Xにどうにか対応して欲しいですねー

### 5/5 — I love it

*2020-05-18, version 1.5.5*

Initially, I said it had no sound. Little did I know, the baby touched silent mode on it somehow. I have had the app for years on my phone. Now, enjoying it on my iPad.
