When compared to the sound generators you can buy at stores this product is better quality sound, more realistic, seamless looping on the nature sounds. Huge selection of sounds. Built in timer and volume control. All for this price. I am very impressed and very glad I have it. Thanks for the effort you made on this product and the value you built into it.
Totally helped me sleep, at first i just thought am i seriously trying this but the next thing i knew i was passed out!! I have a hard time sleeping but this really helps!!
This application is simply awesome. Ive always had problems sleeping. But this one really made me sleep like a baby. Go get it, its definitely worth the price!!!
I dont understand how sounds like helicopter can help you fall asleep!
Francog: there are several other excellent sounds to enjoy for sleeping or relaxing so I dont know why you rate so low just b/c theres a few you dont care for - maybe the dev was having a little fun or thought children might enjoy them. We seriously need emoticons on the iPhone so I can roll my eyes at the high % of terrible reviewers. Well done Dev., a very creative app.
Many or most of these sound effects were taken from iMovie for the Mac.
Good but has a lot of strange sounds that I would never use.
Would have given 5 stars if it wasnt for the cumbersome install - it wouldnt download directly... Had to synch to iTunes first. Outside if that, this is a very usefull app for only 99 cents. The sounds are realistic and you dont notice any obvious looping. Got me off to sleep several times since install... Off to catch some more zzzz.
This is a good app but Ambiance is better. It often lag and there are less sounds than Ambiance. Also the Noise sounds, those are horrible to sleep. Anyway, you should buy Ambiance instead of this one.
its a great app. i find it helps me get to sleep. the app has a few bugs and annoyances, however for the price it is a great deal. definitely a buy.
Works great. Great sounds and lots to play with. It should remember the last timer and volume setting. I like to set it for 30 minutes before I go to sleep and have to set it every time and it starts too loud when your in bed with someone else. It would be nice to be able to set this and the sound volume. Great app for 99 cents.
Its ok in what it tries to do, but really annoying that you have to stop playback to switch sounds, and worst yet, the volume resets to TOO LOUD every time you try a new sound - wait for an upgrade (hopefully)
I Love this Aplication! When I have trouble sleeping, I grab my |touch and turn on this application and no matter how worried I am I can always fall asleep within 20 minutes.
Asleep havent been updated in a while.. I wish the interface could be more streamlined. The quality of some of the sounds are better than ambiance, but beware of a lot of annoying loops. No way of disabling or deleting sounds. 170MB download. EDIT: update. Looks like version 2.5 is going to make a very nice make over. Maybe I can officially delete Ambiance ... well see.
I want to begin by saying I really enjoy this app and regularly use it to fall a sleep. The nature sounds through my Bose Sounddock are fantastic (although Chill Out has even higher quality sounds). I was happy to see the new screenshot up showcasing the new interface, but am a little disappointed its taken so long for the app to be updated (this is deceptive for new buyers, as the app does not look like whats in the screens). I really enjoy the nature and sound collections, and to this point would love to see a few more nature sounds added, such as loons, wolves, pond, meadow, etc. There are also some sounds that could use longer looping cycles, and be higher quality (some sound tinny). I also recommend that you allow users to delete unused sounds to make the app smaller. Lastly, as some other users have suggested it would be nice if sounds played automatically when scrolled instead of having to hit play and stop every time. Thanks for a great app, and I look forward to the next version.
Get "custom sounds of nature" instead, same idea but better sounds, ability to play multiple sounds at once, and control volume on each sound. Maybe update will make this more functional.
This app has the best sounds for relaxing or for sleeping. Well worth the $$$.
I have both asleep and ambiance both go for $.99 at time of me writing this Sept 30 2008. I would give the edge to asleep as far as sounds go they just sound better over all, and have a nicer selection. But I would like to see more nature sounds especially loons as they can make some amazing calls/sounds etc but you need a longer loop and use the quieter haunting calls they make. I would also like whale calls/sounds but just the whales not waves etc. Another good thing to include in the program would be for us to be able to include are own music/mp3/nature sounds etc that would be cool and has been mentioned before. For $.99 you cant go wrong.
I liked this app from the beginning, but the developer has steadily improved it. The interface, with the ability to control the timer, select the sound, control the volume and set an alarm all from one screen, is hugely improved. Mysteriously, some of the spelling and grammatical errors in the actual list of sounds persists, but Ive come to think of them as part of the charm of the app. The only thing missing is the ability to delete sounds you dont like--Id like to see the developer add that. All in all, good work!
