Ambiance App Reviews

I love it, defenatly my favorite, I used it every day. It works fantastic

The quality of the sounds is great and I love the ability to mix sounds and set timers. Unfortunately it seems that with each update, come problems with audio controls. Audio often has a hard time resuming after an interruption and iTunes playback is consistently an issue. Also, the interface is outdated and a bit confusing.

Tons of sounds to choose from. Easy to use great application. Helps for sleeping and just overall soothing.

Lots of sounds to browse and you can store lots, which is nice. Other functions are confusing to use. Definitely not intuitive.

Ive never written a review before but felt inspired to now, just to tell you how much I appreciate the long descriptions of sounds. Some are really lovely, pure poetry! I so appreciate this orientation towards beauty just for the sake of beauty, thank you!!

Ive only had this a few days and it has crashed three times already.

Love this app

Love love love this. Cried when it was accidentally deleted on vacation out of wifi. Put my entire family to sleep. Awesome sounds. My children can mix sounds for pretend. I can find the perfect night jungle bit to play in the bath and I feel like I am really there. Great for ambiance great for think, great,for sleeping when your husband snores, and great for making lets pretend something truly cool.somany sounds of everythings awesome idea. App works well. Like the interface. Just wish I coul,d play it in the background like white noise does.

A great app if you are looking for white noise or other sound clips. Many options so youll likely find the exact type of clip you need.

Cool, this app is amazing. I love the way that the audio seamlessly loops without interruption. I use it for both sleep & weight loss tool. I look forward for the next version upgrade.

Ive had this app since I had my original iPhone, and I still use it. It has an excellent selection of sounds. Most importantly, it allows you to go to sleep to your preferred soothing background noise at bedtime and then transition into a gently and gradually more intense alarm clock when it is time to wake.

This is the only app review I have written (while holding on to do so many times). In short this app gives you a huge amount of sounds and the ability to mix them makes people believe you are somewhere else. I really love how different stories from everyone who hear a mix are. For me this is a perfect app!..... For one minor detail I wish I had the ability to mix the sounds live (adjusting the volume) so I can bring in sounds slowly and pause or start others immediately. Thats is the reason i am not giving 5 stars. If that can be added i would give this 6 stars if possible!

Hands down the best!

Ive used this for quite sometime as a sleep machine. But starting a few months back, even though I pause it and even shut it down completely by doing a swipe up on the iPhone, it intermittently restarts itself in the middle of phone calls, when connecting my iPhone to my cars Bluetooth, etc and out of no where I have the sleep machine shhhhhhhhh noise on my car speakers or ear pieces. Got sick of it and deleted finally.

Updated review 8/26/14: Awesome app worked flawlessly for month, but now every time I play it & hibernate my screen or it hibernates automatically, the app stops (despite time left on the timer). I used to could play the app despite no "picture" on my screen (while the iphone was hibernating), but now I cant. I dont want to waste excessive battery power using the app. Please fix this asap! Old 2011 Review: Ambiance USED to be my favorite & most used app. I used it every night. Finally quit crashing after 5 minutes of sound a few months ago but since I updated to iOS 5.0.1 yesterday (12/17/11), it crashes everytime I open it, before even getting past the initial load / icon screen. EVERY time I try to open the app, it crashes immediately. It does this both on my iPhone 4G & my iPad 2. I reinstalled the app & it worked great for a few minutes. It gave me enough time to set my settings, preview a bunch of songs & download 20 or so, then it got locked up on the preview of a sound. All I could do was exit the program hoping this would work & then thereafter it would crash again at the initial icon load screen. I cant reinstall every night I want to listen to it. According to the develop website, a few others have had the same problem since the Ambiance 12/13/11 update. I gave it a few weeks for the developer to work out any kinks & I emailed them, but no response & no update to fix it. Unfortunately, my problem seems to be in the minority or they might would have offered some tech support or fix suggestions. I paid for the full version & I expect it to work accordingly. I have never had such a constant & terrible problem with an app. If i could, i would give it zero stars because of this. If it isnt fixed or I dont receive a helpful response soon, I will demand a refund.

Happily using this app since my iPhone 3GS (loooong time ago). I have multiple mixed-sound-playlists and truly use it every night (mostly rain and thunder). One suggestion... Spotify support! Please?

This app is part of my life. Ive been happy with it from day one. Which was years ago. If your mind is like mine, you need to unwind. I enjoy sleeping and reading with Ambiance. Cant say enough about this apps quality. And I thank the developers for keeping it simple.

I love my mixes and I have different sounds for different moods or activities. I use it at work when I need to relax, I use it to help me fall asleep, to meditate, or just when I want some background noise to drown people out! Best app I have bought!

What would make this a 5-star app? Ability to sync all my downloaded sounds. I get really tired of having to re-download all the time. Update: re-downloading is becoming annoying!

I suffer from bad insomnia and it really helps me get to sleep at night when my my mind is racing and I cant make it stop. I have used this app for years and it has been a huge help to me. Thank you ambience.
