## What is ZenView?

Get a more laid back view of your world with new ZenView. Simply sit back and watch as the fresh spring rain creates a changing pattern of ripples across your camera view. As the gentle sound of rain mixes with the tranquil ripples moving across your world just touch the screen to add your own drips and drops.

D T Suzuki said “Zen, in its essence is the art of seeing into the nature of one's own being”. Well there’s no need to practise Zen meditation for total relaxation and de-stressing. Just use Zenview for a laid back view of your world.

If your view of the world is stressed you seriously need ZenView. When you use ZenView your world will never looked more Zen. For the calmest, most chilled view of your life just point your camera and let ZenView do the rest. Zenview-ism is the new state of mind to strive for.

When you are completely relaxed and you’ve achieved a higher state of Zenview-ism switch cameras to view your own face through the same relaxing rain and achieve an even higher state of Zenview-ism.

### 5/5 — Soooo RELAXING!

*2026-08-15, version 1.0.14*

Love this. Brings me to present moment to relax💞

### 5/5 — :3

*2026-04-05, version 1.0.14*

This app is one of my favs now. I have had it for like 10 minutes and I’m obsessed! 🤩 I would definitely recommend for anyone and I’m giving it 5 stars! I wish you could upload photos instead of just using the camera cuz I would like to do it with the sunsets at my home!!

### 5/5 — Calming

*2025-09-20, version 1.0.14*

I agree with another reviewer that the drip sounds when you use your finger sound like you’re in a cave, which is outa ‘sync’ with the themes. 
Otherwise, it’s very nice to spend some calming moments with here and there. I don’t mind supporting developer by purchasing the themes.

### 3/5 — Likely abandoned

*2025-04-27, version 1.0.14*

Visuals are still superb but the sounds disappeared with some relatively recent iOS update.  Too bad.

### 5/5 — Great app but why pay?

*2025-03-14, version 1.0.14*

It’s kinda dumb that you have to pay for more themes but other than that it’s very relaxing

### 5/5 — Perfect for Calmimg Your Mind!

*2024-09-25, version 1.0.14*

I have had this app for years, and it remains a favorite go-to of mine when I need calm my mind, slow my thoughts down a little, or just decompress for a minute or two.  The water effects, nature backgrounds, etc. are the perfect combination.

### 5/5 — Adorable

*2023-11-26, version 1.0.14*

J’aimerais bien te connaître

### 1/5 — Used to be a great app

*2023-08-17, version 1.0.14*

Doesn’t have any sound on my iPhone 14.

### 5/5 — Obsessed!

*2023-07-06, version 1.0.14*

After having an android for years, missed this app. Immediately downloaded ZenView again when upgraded to an iPhone. As soon as you touch the screen, it acts like water. This is my favorite app! Lose track of time playing with it. It’s like a sand garden, but the sand is virtual water! Soothing.

### 3/5 — pretty but useless

*2022-11-15*

i might not be the type for this kind of app...
