About Rain Soundscape
Are you tired of the same boring rain sound loops? Can you count the number of seconds until the next thunder clap? Wish you could add some wind chimes, or even just some wind into the mix?
Using the magic of Foley Artistry, mother nature, and a little chaos from a random number generator, Rain Soundscape creates and mixes a complete experience from your selections in real time. Most rain sound apps have a single pre-recorded loop of sound that they play over and over (and over and over) until your ears fall off. Rain Soundscape uses nearly 50 different sounds and a cleverly built sound engine to paint an audio landscape for the mind. Listen to the calls of a mockingbird over the backdrop of rolling thunder, or sit on a wind-swept porch as the rain courses through the roof-top gutters.
Using intuitive sliders, you set which sounds you want to add to the ever changing mix. Set the rain bar on low to hear the ebb and flow with the movement virtual storm cells; move it to high, add a little wind and some distant thunder, and you've created your very own desert storm. Become a sound engineer and create the mix you want to hear!
Use this app to relax, fall asleep, study, or even background filler for a stage production. Perfect for white noise, riki, meditation, and other low-activity settings. The custom sound engine guarantees that no two storms will ever be quite alike, even after hours of playback.
Additional features include a shut-off timer, presets, and a beta version of the alarm. The alarm will be completed next release, and will feature multiple alarms with preset selection. This app will also continue playing your rain soundscape even if you get a text message or browse the web. Finally, this version is free of advertisements.
Try before you buy! Because of the complexity of the sound engine, not all devices are capable of running this app in a smooth and efficient manner (if at all). Try the free version before buying the paid one just in case your device does not support the sound engine.
Requires two permissions:
-------------------------
Wake lock - To properly wake up the device when handling an alarm.
Read phone state - To pause playback when a phone call comes in.

I love everything except the wind sound. The wind sound is awful and is creepy. Fix the wind sound you have a perfect app. In my opinion.

FINALLY! A rain app that I can customize. I really like the small fire option as well as the animals. The thunder option is pretty awesome too. Although, I eventually would like to have more rain sounds. Like, rain on water or rain on plants/ trees. Great app though. I'd definitely recommend it!

It wont close down completely and stays in the notification bar and drains battery life. ALSO quits playing soumds shortly after screen goes off.

Bought without hesitation to encourage the developer. Really beautiful soundscape. I'd love to see a multiple alarm feature. Thanks Dev!

I got this because of the wind feature. You can set it to howl and sometimes I just need that to distract from a stressful day. Thanks, developers!

I love this app a lot. Seriously, it's great. I use it to fall asleep, to relax, to write my novels, that sort of thing. It's unpredictable and the thunder sounds are really awesome. Also, I love how at the beginning it sounds like a rainstorm is actually starting, and when you tell it to stop it slowly fades out like it's a rainstorm stopping outside. My only complaint is that the wind gusts sound like screaming, terrified children. You may want to fix that.

There are several nice rain sound players available, but none come close to this app. Several sounds are available, with a slider adjustment for each. Really nice job by the developer. My only request would be for smaller steps in the adjustments for some sounds, such as wind.

UI may be a little rough around the edges, but the generated sound is really good and very customizable

With the exception of the critters, all the sounds are great. It is better than the other sound programs because the sounds are not completely predictable. The critters need a lot of work, they do not sound natural at all. Overall, the program is about the best sound program out there.

Android no longer supports Flash so I can't use SimplyRain on the web. The SimplyRain-App only supports iOS. So, I tested several rain apps from the PlayStore. Most of them seem to just loop a single sample which produces an audible gap when starting over. This one is the only one that produces real continuous rain sound. I checked it with the free version all the evening and finally was convinced enough to buy the full version.

As much as I like "white noise" machines, I can't use them because they always have an audible loop point or a repeatable pattern. Finally I found one that is truly random, and customizable. It's only at 1,0 at the time of this review, but I expect this will only get better as time goes on. One thing it could use is a timer, to shut it off after a certain number of minutes or hours.

Hopefully my purchase will motivate you to capture authentic sounds. The synthetic wind chimes are quite apparent. Still a good buy!

I travel extensively for work, and hotel rooms are either unnervingly quiet or have all the "wrong" noises. Up until a year ago, my go-to app to counter this was Simply Rain on iOS which allowed me to configure randomized thunderstorms for background noise. When I switched to Android, that app became lost to me. Since then, I've tried several others but my brain notices the prerecorded nature of their loops and thus they have the opposite effect & keep me awake. This app is exactly what I've needed.
