Sleepmaker Rain for Android
This has really helped with my insomnia! I can choose a different rain effect for how I'm feeling and set the timer (30 mins is perfect me) and I almost never hear it switch off as I'm finally asleep. Thank you.
I have this app installed on an old phone that works great, the rain recordings are continuous, however, after installing on a new phone the recordings are not continuous. After about ten seconds they cut out and restart. Hardly relaxing.
Sorry ... the various levels all remind me of something sizzling on the stove. Works to disguise background noises so I can sleep but it doesn't remind me of rain.
This app would be great if the timer was not limited to 7 hrs. I had the iPhone app and it was the best. Hurry up and get the pro version done please!
The title says it all. The iOD version was/is so much better. I'm not sure when they out a timer on it, or why there's so many limited options, but the apple version had more versatility. I enjoyed being about to play different storm streams so that it wasn't so generic too, sounded more like a real storm. This is not as good. And doesnt work half the time.
This app has been a comforting sleeping companion for years on my iPhone... But then I got an android and the app barely functions at all. Can hear the seam on all the sounds. And "with distant thunder" isn't even included. That was my favorite. So disappointing.
The loop for rain falling on canvas is not a good loop there is at least a 1 second gap before it starts again so useless for me. For claiming it was mixed and seamlessly looped is a lie don't put that in if it's not true.
Loved this app on my iPhone. Serious issues with it on the Samsung Galaxy; it plays for about 10 seconds, then it abruptly goes silent for a second or two, then starts up again only to repeat the cycle. Terrible.
I love this app. Gapless and easy to use on my Nexus 7. One weird thing, after I close and kill the app, I will get 2 notifications about 5 minutes later saying the app has stopped working. Aside from that, its perfect.
now it skips every 15 or so seconds and hasn't been fixed, even with the newest update
Great sounds, but they're interrupted every 5-10 seconds by some weird glitch where a split second of silence interrupts the sound; extremely distracting. Also, the timer must be set in order for it to work, meaning that the longest it will possibly play for is 6 hours 59 minutes, not all night. Ridiculous.
especially when compared to the iOS version, even the free one. There are far fewer sounds available on the Android version and the interface is outdated. Wanted this app because my boyfriend has it on his iPhone and iPad, but was incredibly disappointed with what I got. Seems as if the developer abandoned this version of the app in favor of the iOS version, as the Android version hasn't been updated since 2011 and isn't on their website at all.
I loved the sleepmaker storm app on my iPod so I was excited when there was an app on the Android market. I was sad there was nothing with thunder but thought I would make due. The sounds are the same quality but it seems to be on a 15 second loop so there's a frequent discontinuity on the sound which I can't tune out. If you could fix this or even better make the storm one I'd download again.
It's okay well i like rain even when it's real. I don't have to set the hour or minute. Still i like the rain sounds
The audio skips every 15 seconds or so. Also, it would be nice if there were an option for the audio to pay until an alarm goes off. Currently you are limited to 6 hours and 59 minutes max.
Looks like others have this problem too. Makes the app essentially worthless. Hopefully the dev will notice and fix the problem. I'm on Android 4.0 with a GS2.
I use it on the gentle setting with the cricket Nightnoises app every night.
Best app ever i always pass out immediately with the softer rain falls. Please make one called fire with wood burning id pay for that if its from you.
love the sounds use it every night. HATE thst the timer is so limited. Bought pro version as it said 24 hour timer but still on 7 hours! refunded.
Helps me clear my mind and get to sleep. Could use more sounds.
The timer is nice. The sounds are very soothing. Nice for stress reduction.
I like the way its designed and the way it works but the sound disappears completely. And even sometimes it doesn't even work
It's very soft. You have to use speakers for this app and you can hear it's a repeated recording -that's annoying.
Hate that it skips and you can tell when it loops big time on the medium and steady with puddles sounds. If that were to get fixed it would be awesome
Favourite rain app. Use it to sleep all the time - I've been using it for years!
Bad sound loop, keep pausing for about half a second every 6 seconds or so
I had this app on my iPod too and it ran great. Got me to sleep as I have sleeping problems -Downloaded this today and it stutters every ten seconds literally. Please fix. For now I am going for another one and uninstall this app

I found... Only 2 sounds steady others had ..lag in them...I know the physics behind it...so make sure to edit it thoroughly..I await the update..btw Awesome sounds.
This app was the only rain app I needed for falling asleep, but now it skips bout every 15secs like someone else said here. Unfortunately I'll have to come back later to see if it works :
The recordings are pleasing, but you can hear loops on most of them which is distracting.The car roof one is comforting, but a low rumble (car?) I don't like in the background.Could do with some features as there is no real interface nor settings but nice effort for free.Volume on tracks needs to be standard, some way too loud ! (beware)
This app is very straightforward, simply designed, and wholly sensible. The large number of different rain types are wonderful. But the sound skips and stutters every 8-15 seconds making it unusable. Also, sound should fade in quickly at start and out slowly near end of timer. Existing on/off is jarring, not relaxing. Needs more refinement to be usable.
Has some pretty good rain sounds, so it does what I need. I used to have sleepmaker rain and sleepmaker storms on my ipod, and loved both. Wish I could have storm sounds on android, even the paid version doesn't have them.
Seems to kill the sound even on a long timer. Sound skips. Not terrible, but, sadly, the ios one works better. I love this app, I just wish the Android one was as good as the other :(
Love this app, had it for my iPhone before I switched to the Galaxy S3. The iPhone app allowed me to enter longer hours (ie 9 hours) as I use it to sleep because of my tinnitus. Also would be great if the Sleepmaker Waves were ported over to Android, any possibility??? But this has to be the best white noise app for sleeping I have found, well done guys. 4 stars, but if you increase the hours of playtime will increase to 5 stars.
I live in a camp in the oil field for about 7 months of the year with 10,000 other people and when i need time away this app is just what the doc ordered.
This app does what it says but the track restarting to play the rain sound from the beginning is very obvious and frequent with a skip in the noise every time.
Was great with gingerbread, but now it skips every few seconds and the stop button doesn't work. How am I going to get to sleep tonight? :|
I love rain. This app allows me to listen to the sounds of rain any time and on any weather. It helps me relax. There is gentle, medium and pouring rain and you can choose the type of surface it falls on: none, wood, pavement, car roof and many more. I can fall asleep with it and not worry about my phone's battery because it has a timer that I can set and then it stops. Or I can set it for a few hours and study when my neighbours just won't keep quiet. Love this app!

Good app. Worked flawlessly on my old Desire (Froyo). Now on my One X (ICS) it keeps skipping. Hope this is fixed soon as I used to use this app every night.
