Software Reviews and Criticism

  fun, useful, not flawless

  I use this app for meditating, as well as background when I’m doing gardening or chores. Layering the various choices, according to my day, is easy and so useful. I’ve also put together favorite combinations and saved them with no difficulty. My main challenge comes when I try using the timer to meditate with — the numbers for setting how many minutes I want timed are backwards and upside down when they come on the screen. I can cope with that little adventure, but once I set the timing for that session, the timer doesn’t shut off the sounds, as it indicates it will. It just resets the timer back to its original length seamlessly, which means I never know how long I’ve been sitting. It worked the first time I used it and hasn’t worked properly since then, but that’s the only glitch I’ve come across. Really enjoy the variety of sounds, controlling their volume as I combine them, etc. Pleased about this app!

  Windows version needs work

  I first acquired this app on my iPhone, and there it is a magical, above-and-beyond masterpiece of a program. It’s beautiful, it works flawlessly, and I crave what it does. On the Windows, I still get the sounds that help me do deep work at the office, and which calm me and relieve anxiety when at home - which is very good. But the interface is clunky and it has issues, like that it always seems to have a red dot alert on its icon, as though there’s some message I need to read. But where is it? Heck if I know. It’s ugly (looks like an older iPad app) and doesn’t respond to swiping left or right with my track pad (I have to click the arrows). The fonts chosen, and the buttons are all dated. In the free version, the ads pop-up upside down. I hope the team behind this app can muster the resources to brush it up. I bought the pro version for my iPhone. I’m holding out for some signs of progress for this Windows version, however. But let me tell you, these sounds… they are wonderful and so helpful for setting a comforting mood. You can close the window and just let the sounds play, you can’t do better.

  Helps Me Study

  I have to give this app so many thumbs up it would be ridiculous. I have been studying for the bar exam (licensing exam for attorney’s) the past few months. I have to have background noise when I study because come the day of the exam, dead silence is non existence. This gives me some background noise without being overly distracting. It is relaxing and calming and helps me get through my day. I love that there are a variety of sounds to pick from and you can mix and match them. I personally love the piano with the rain storm, but the possibilities are endless. Include the concentration and relaxation “brain waves” and you are golden. Love this app to the moon and back. I have it on my phone and my laptop!

  All I know is...

  for some crazy reason I've been having trouble getting my zzzzzzs. Last night I used this app and slept like a baby. It's only one night, but for one night's good sleep I gladly upgraded to the $4.99 version if only as a thank you. Also, this app really is cool. I like that you can set it to turn off after a certain amount of time (hence the sleep, cause sometimes sleepy sound things wake you up after you fall asleep, in my experience), and I love that it has an alarm function (just testing that out now, but I love the sound options for an alarm!) as well! Very cool, all of it! I'll write a review of the paid version once I've gotten to know it!
