I love these kind of apps, and own many of the best of them. The only issue that I have, is that after hearing one of the nature loops for a while, my ears will begin then to pick up the “seams” in the recording, meaning, that the files should be way bigger than they are, that is to say longer in duration, and as they are in the amazing hands down winner grandaddy of all environmental sound apps, ENVIRONMENTS. Here, I can completely tell when the loop begins anew, and then after a while of hearing it, it actually starts to bother me, as I have become accustomed to the repetition of what should be natural and seamless soundscapes, lasting much longer (so as to fool the ears and the brain) into believing one is actually present within nature, and not on a holodeck. The other issue is the sound quality, as once again ENVIRONMENTS wins hands down ... I don’t know what quality sound file, compression, they are using here, but it must be relatively small, for look at the size of the app (Environments, once again,is over half a gigabyte in comparison, and with less sounscapes, although theirs run nearly an hour each). Other than that, though, this is nice.

Think this a great app. I paid the full price because I like the variety. However as another user stated, when doing a loop (especially with anything with water) you can actually hear when the loop restarts. I have multiple nature sound apps and some without this level of polish, can hide any loop effects. I’m really surprised that it’s very obvious on this app. It will remove you from being engrossed in the atmosphere because as soon as I hear the loop restart I automatically know what bird or other sound is about to happen. It really does take you out of just simply relaxing.

Other issue is that sometimes I wish you wouldn’t hear all the insects and birds so much. So while they do have a “setting” to reduce the effect, it’s only a tiny difference. I can barely tell any difference on that setting vs the normal settings.

Overall I think this is a great app, but when you can anticipate the next sounds because you hear it starting over, and the loops aren’t very long, it does take you out of simply relaxing. Hopefully a future update can better mask any loops.

I found this app in 2017, & from the 1st listen, I craved more, so I purchased the extras. It's certainly been worth the price! I also sought out & saved his podcast episodes.

I would have given the app 5 stars (& still may later if more recordings are added), were it not for some obvious looping in older recordings & differences in recording volumes, which Lang seems to be improving over time. All-in-all I cannot praise his offerings enough. What a wonderful way to connect w/ nature when you're stuck in the city as I am now, even if it is vicariously thru headphones!
