Thunderspace Rain Sleep Sounds Reviews

Headphones-only?!? How can any pair of headphones supposedly immerse you in thunder? You can’t feel thunder through headphones. ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds does not let you play the audio through a full-blown audio system using Bluetooth or Airplay. Yet, it will fully rub your face in what you’re missing by playing the thunder through the microscopic speakers built-into the iPhone XS Max. What’s crazy is the fact that you can tell the audio recording is very high-quality, yet you only get to hear an energetically-neutered version of it through the pathetic internal phone speakers or the almost equally severe physical limitations of headphones. Even the best headphones won’t shake my house playing recorded thunder, no matter how good the recording is. The compression wave impact of thunder is completely absent if you’re listening through headphones. For others like me who prefer to immerse our entire body in high end sound, look elsewhere. ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds isn’t for us. Hopefully this warning will save others from wasting their time and a couple bucks. The first sentence of the description really should really point out the headphones-only limitation of ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds. Very disappointed but gave ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds an extra star for the apparent quantity of the recording.

I’m quarantined with my 4 wonderful and wonderfully noisy roommates and loud dog, working from home. I have noise cancelling headphones and they’re strange to wear without anything playing, usually listen to lo-fi or something, but sometimes even that’s just too distracting. These recordings are all top-notch and well worth the price, app is attractively designed and not annoying (no stupid pop-ups, pushy push alerts, etc.)

Highly recommend :)

I loved ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds. The best, most relaxing sounds. My husband and I would play it almost every night to fall asleep to, and we recommended it to EVERYONE. I miss being able to use it so much. You see, when ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds changed about 2 years ago, the developer failed to update it so it could still be played over Bluetooth or airplay...and we haven’t used it since. Its extremely sad that something was created that has helped a lot of people (according to the reviews) and it seems like now that the developer has our money, they aren't bothering to keep it updated.

I’m not a neurologist but there is something about these soundscapes that puts me in a state of mind to fall asleep fast and hard. I look forward to listening to it all day.

I have a two year-old that loves to wake me and my wife up throughout the night. I just pop on my wireless headphones (which ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds recognized it because it displays the warning about wearing headphones) and I fall asleep within 10 minutes.

I’m working on my Ph.D and sleep is essential. Thanks app team!

I just wanted to say this is one of my Top Favorite app! I can not count how many time I have fallen to sleep to the Most Amazing thunderstorms, running brooks and ocean recordings ever produced! Way too much to list. I purchased the largest package I could, which includes all new recordings and I have Not been disappointed! Be careful although I have been known to wake up to make sure the windows were all closed due to the realism. Absolutely The Best! Thank you for this awesome app!

First off, I have to say I love ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds! The quality is amazing! This is an app that I would easily recommend!

I would like to make a request! The “Halloween Night” sound that you added is a nice change of pace (for lack of better wording). It’s a nice bonus! I would love to see you do the same kind of thing but for a winter type soundscape. (Bells, wind, and a crackling fireplace, for example).

Updating my previous rating to 5 stars since the in-app purchase restoration bug was fixed. The developer apparently put a lot of time to work around an Apple bug to get this working again.

This is a fantastic app for ambient sounds. The sounds are by far the best quality out of any I’ve tried. Highly recommended!

I've used ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds for years and love the quality of the sounds and the interface. I've recently picked up an IKEA Symfonisk speaker and would love to pipe sound to it (I know the intended use is to use with headphones). For some reason, using the system-level AirPlay functions don't work, unlike most other sound-producing apps (still goes through the phone speakers). Can you look into allowing this in future versions?

I’ve used ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds for years. I love the sound quality and the variety of sound scapes that are offered. I also use it in combination with music for added variety and white noise.

The only thing it’s missing is integration with Shortcuts. I’d love to be able to turn it on with other actions in a shortcut!!

**Update: Please add support to be able to AirPlay!**

I’ve used ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds to fall asleep every single night for the last 3 years. The quality can’t be oversold. It’s the best rainstorm simulator on the planet. The expert care taken to record these in 3D sound, and present them in a graceful and simple way, while combining state of the art technology is truly unique. I’m a customer for life.

Thank heavens and Franz for version 10.0.1! I'm thrilled to finally have all my purchases and my full Thunderspace listening experience back. "Wood Frogs" is captivating and perfect for background while sleeping, working, writing, reading, almost anything. And while headphones are recommended, a good pair of well-placed bookshelf speakers do the job quite nicely, too.

Been using ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds for a while and I will continue using but it seems like ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds has stagnated. No new content in quite a while and the last couple updates consisted of a bug fix for a problem I never experienced, an app logo change, and a temporary fix for purchase restorations... that was 2 years ago. If you like new content or even just quality updates, look elsewhere. App is dead

The storms sound sooo good. Especially with the 3D audio. (Use headphones)

I used the free version for a while but when it got really good is when I paid for the full app. It’s the same quality for the free version, but with the paid you get all storms with no stops.

I should have paid the small fee years ago.

“Sound machine/sleep sounds” apps are one of the most abundant app types in ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds Store - but this one is different. Lightning flashes, hyper-realistic soundspace recordings. This one is worth your time. It sounds great no matter how you listen, but a good pair of headphones makes this really shine.

New seat update: I was finally able to restore my purchases!!! Thank you!!

I am from a verdant part of the country where it rains a lot. That's what I grew up with. When I moved to the Sonoran desert something was definitely missing. I'll have to say ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds got used quite a bit for the years I was out there. Still use it today!

ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds is amazing, I’ve had it since I got my iPhone 5 and finding out that it was updated to support the X series iPhones makes it even better. Highly recommend! The sounds are high quality and I have yet to find any parts that loop like some other apps do.

I have used it for almost 7 years, feel like it always in there and able to provide a secret space for me to relax, no matter when I need it, it IS the best of rain sound apps, thanks!!!

The sound quality on ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds is amazing. However, the developer is too draconian in how you are to listen. I was able to go to sleep each night with ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds playing through Airplay. Then, AirPlay support was removed. I still played it through iPad speakers . Then, speaker support was removed as well. I can’t fall asleep with headphones in my ears. Please add speaker support back.

I like the sound of the rain but when there is thunder the rain sounds disappear. I assume it is some form of automatic level that has been applied to the recording. With the rain sounds fading in and out it sounds unnatural to me. This happens on both the recordings that are available without payment. I’m using an iPad Pro. Otherwise I’d have liked ThunderspaceRainSleepSounds .

All of these five star reviews don't lie! High quality and very realistic. I love and good reason and this brings me right there.

I had a bit of trouble but the developer was quick to respond and has solved my issue. Nice app and very much worth the download!

Thanks developer :)
