Atmosphere: Relaxing Sounds for Android
I've never reviewed any app before but I think this one really deserves a stellar review. It's so much to play with and can be used to create so many diverse environments. Personally, I'm using it to help with anxiety attacks, but it's also perfect for getting into a creative mood or just lazing around to a sound that you love! You can be underwater or in a bustling city or surrounded by farm animals, and it's so much fun to explore! I haven't encountered many ads either, which is amazing; this app is just perfection!
I love how adaptable this app is. Whatever calms you is right here. Indoors, outdoors, even underwater. I love that you can play multiple sounds at once and adjust the volume of each sound to really maximize comfort and relaxation. I use this app every night to lull myself to sleep. And it works like a charm! I also love the timer! I fall asleep within 5 minutes of turning on this app every night, but I set the timer for 2 hours or so. It helps me stay asleep. I highly recommend this app to anyone who has trouble falling asleep or relaxing. It's also good for meditation!
I have issues getting to sleep. It takes hours to shut my mind off (without sleep aids). With this app it definitely cuts my struggle down by far. Sound is realistic, you can adjust the strength of the chosen sound. (Like more or less thunder your choice). You can add sounds together to your liking and you can set a timer to turn off the app when you desire. 2 thumbs up definitely.
Soothing sounds but... There's always a but(t). Major flaw in this app is that you can hear a gap in a sound loop. It ruins an experience of relaxing, especially when listening to continuous sounds like rain or river. Please fix this. Otherwise great app. I rated this at 5 stars due to lack of half stars. Half a star less for a mentioned issue. Until it get done fixed i wont pay for add remover.
Excellent app. But loudness needs to be increased, as even with full volume I couldn't suppress external drilling machine volume while studying. However best collection of sounds. Also quality of sounds should be improved though these are crystal clear, but I have experienced even better HD backgrounds on some paid websites which only work online.
Liked the concept of mixing Various sounds. Bt a problem occurs. Whenever it asks for permission to gallery and photos and I tap on allow, it doesn't respond. While it does when I tap on cancel. I tried giving permissions to other apps just to ensure that there's nothing wrong with my phone, but everything seemed right, they all were allowed...Seeking help!
Most apps require a purchase of most theses premium sounds. This app gives you access to them all without spending a penny. What's more is the amazing features. Transfer your own audio clips and sound bytes. Put a timer on your audio. Set favorites with your preferences, and you can add audio from the web. AMAZING!! I have extreme anxiety issues and the binaural beats included in the audio files help keep me grounded. If your still reading...thanks!! This app is worth every second!
Easy to use.. Well thought out interface.. Sadly some of the sound icons seem to not work, and the high volume safety warning randomly cuts in after a couple of hours, muting the application, even though I'm using speakers and not headphones.. (I don't think it's the application's fault for that, though.) Icons that seem to produce no output: (wind) in city and forest. (storm) in all.
I think this is a great app. I am satisfied with the interface and have but a few comments to help your design team. Favorites only last for a day. I can save a favorite without a name; more than once. A horizontal menu above the banner photo for each section would ease the navigation. The only alternative currently is to go to the menu or swipe. Moving frequently from binaural sounds to chinese becomes tedious.
I love how this app is so well thought out. So many different kinds of noise, just something for everyone! There are a few noises not working at all though - if the devs read this I'd love to hear if that will be fixed, it's the only reason I took one star off my review. I also love that the binaural sounds are included. It seems to relax me instantly! :) Edit: there was at least 6 sounds not working but I went to check which ones they were, when I saw the devs reply to me, here... Whatever you did seemed to work! Thanks!
Perfect app with variety of collection of soothing sounds like. You can control and customize a lot of settings. The only problem I noticed when listening in headphones is that after playing a clip about 45-50s there is very short pause and it restarts again. If this could be avoided you can actually continuously enjoy the sound and feel the nature. If you can, please try to fix it.. Thanks
An fantabulous app.. it helps me concentrate while studying. Earliest i used to restore to album songs, but i discovered nature is a much better option. It makes me feel light and refreshed. Helps me focus on watevr m doing. Lifts my mood perfectly. Much better option to rely, than on songs with lyrics. The collection dismisses the need for any other app of this sort.
So far I'm impressed. This helped me sleep last night and i have serious insomnia. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's missing the bamboo water "thump" (where it fills with water and thumps back up). Other than that nitpick it has several options, some which I haven't seen elsewhere.
I was directly struck by lightning 16 yrs ago with severe brain trama. While recovering they used something simular to help promote healing in my brain. I finally found an equivalent. Awesome! Fantastic! Love how you can combine sounds n volumes. I shared with everyone I know. Great for kids as well!
Good and could have been better. Pl have a section exclusively for rain(on leaves, on roof top, under a umbrella, and many more)and improve audio samples. Also I would love to have these sounds..inside a running train, walking in rain, in a deserted windy rail station.
My assumption was correct, I've been missing nature, a huge part of my anxiety/depression. This app has the perfect sounds for that. So far, I am most impressed by the bird sounds. I like mixing campfire, birds, and a little wind. It's amazing how that combo soothes me and makes me happy so dramatically.
Fix the memory leak! Even PAUSED - not even freaking running - this app took my phone's battery from 100% to 58% overnight. It also makes my phone very warm when it runs. Otherwise outstanding. Fix this issue and I'll give you 5 stars. Google Pixel, Android N.
I love this app. I'm dealing with severe anxiety and, if I don't have WiFi at the moment, I use this app to rest with. Binaural beats are amazing for the brain and, I absolutely adore the other sounds (my favorite being the chimney!) Please download this, it's a healer in your back pocket.
Best sounds out there for sleeping. Ive been looking and looking. And finally what i am looking for. I am not doing this rate for the app its a reminder to never delete this app because its so good. Ive had a problem lately. It keeps stopping the sound and its very agitating. I just want to sleep. Can yall please make this stop happening. It says that it playing but it stops the sound from coming out period. ------------------------------------------------------ 04/30/17 Thanks for fixing the bug. You guys should find more sounds though. Like different animals. Or classical music. Different types of wave sounds. Like lil waves and big ones. And country sounds should have like night time country sounds. Like the real feel of country at night. I used to live in the country and you don't get to hear that in town. I miss my country sounds at night every night. Can y'all please do that. That'll be awesome.
How do you get it to stay on for more than a minute when the timer is set for an hour? I do not have power save mode on and I have made sure the app is allowed to use the battery when in background. Still nothing. Sorry, going to have to uninstall
Worked well at 1st and enjoyed the app... but it would always shut off in the middle of the night which would cause me to wake up. I tried setting the longest timer I could and still that didnt work... checked my phone to see if it was restarting or something but found nothing. Then recently started getting a lot of static and noise break up. Hope it can get fixed. Enjoyed the ease of use and quality of sounds when it worked properly. Will re-rate if fixed.
The app is brilliant, and I downloaded it at a recommendation from a friend who LOVES it. However, I have tried these things before, and my head just says "You have to listen to a recording of a campfire to sleep? Nah.". It didn't work for me, but as an app it is brilliant, and would definitely work for someone who's head doesn't reject help.
No good on a tablet. Oh dear, this must be a very old app. All my other apps work normally in landscape orientation, but this app requires me to twist my neck through 90 degrees to use it. Not a lot of use as my tablet sits in a case beside my bed in landscape orientation.
Love this app. Great variety of sounds. The best thing is the ability to layer sounds. I use the app to tune out and go to sleep, to get reading done at the coffee shop or at the gym. The more anniying voices or sounds I need to block out, the more I can. I can layer as much as I like and in any combination that suits. Bravo and thank you!
Pretty cool. Some sounds need to be longer and with more changes to know its not being repeated so often i.e. dog barking is too monotonous and tiresome.. add three types of dog bark and mix up the sequence each time its repeated. All in all I love the app.
Finally I can sleep! Thank you so much! I have chronic insomnia and when I can't sleep for days It becomes debilitating and really takes a toll on my health, this is so much healthier than taking pills every night just get a few hours of sleep. Again thank you this realy works,
Crashes middle of night. I do not have a battery saving app installed on my phone. Not sure why it keeps crashing. Have had multiple other sleep apps and this didn't happen with them.
WOW, SO MANY FEATURES, AND THE THING I WAS LOOKING FOR WAS AN AMBIENT SLEEP APP WITH A.......TIMER! I often dont want to keep it all the way through the night, cause of the batteries, and i found a timer. This thing is so awesome! Slept really quick when i had this on. Set it to 3 hours and your ready for tomorrow!
I came for the binaural beats, stayed for the beautiful sounds of life. Often overlooked, are these background noises. This app has me paying attention and finding a gentle lip curling joy in the sounds of moving water and even pigeons.
I've been looking for an app I can use while other things are running on my phone so I went with this one, but I didn't know the options would be so good! I love that I can mix my own. This will help lower anxiety levels a lot!! Thank you!!
What an amazing app! Downloaded this with a sleep cycle app too and played it whilst I was sleeping. As I suffer from anxiety and depression, I was amazed to wake up feeling super happy! (And to the sound of an open campfire) Thanks for an amazing app.
A good idea poorly executed. I love being able to mix sounds, but it stops for no reason in the middle of the night, which wakes me up. Also, it has a pointless drop down notification which can not be removed. The only way to shut it down is to force stop it, which seems a bit extreme.
Nice range of sounds. However, the app often stops just after I've selected the sounds, set the timer, and put the phone down. Which is annoying because I have to set everything again.
This app is freaking fantastic. It helps me sleep when my mind is racing or if there's annoying noises that are keeping me awake. It also slowly tapers off as it nears the end of the timer so there's no jarring transition that could wake you up. The sounds are clear and unique and the app always works. :D
Just a few bugs.... cannot use phone while the application is running in the background, the sound stutters a lot while working..... otherwise this app is great...Fix those bugs then i will rate it 5☆
Love timer, importing sounds & saving custom soundscapes! However you can hear the end and start of the white noise sound which ruins tuning out during sleep for me. You can also hear some kind of thumping in the air bubbles one. Hope that can be fixed one day.
I use it every night to sleep but recently there is a lot of popping and snapping I hear when my device is processing. When an image loads online or I move between tabs or apps. It wasn't a problem until about a month ago.
Really like it well laid out and has all kinds of sounds you can mix and match. The only improvement I can think of would be a fader when the timer runs out if you're using it to meditate.
My sister and I downloaded it for our newborns. Where was this app and 12 years ago?! It's so soothing to the new ones. Super happy to have it witb these two at least!! There's so much variety in sounds for the wee ones to be exposed to. LOve this app!!!

This app is so slick! I downloaded it to have wave sounds playing on a timer as I fall asleep and I'm blown away with the extras I didn't expect. I love being able to mix my own layers of sounds together and I'll definitely give the import sound option a go. EDIT: I just paid for ad removal. I never usually bother with that, but this one's definitely worth it for less than a cup of coffee.
