Short loops
I’m giving this app 1 star because the sound effect loops are so short (the ones I preferred, of rain, water, and surf, seem to be 2-6 seconds long).
YMMV, but when I’m listening to something where it’s very, very obvious that I’m hearing the exact same pattern over and over, that’s not relaxing to me: it was irritating. I appreciate the large number of recordings available for purchase… but all the sound effects I listened to had that problem.
I tried mixing sets of 3 of the effects together to see if it helped… it didn’t. Rather than acting as a soothing background to fall asleep to, the repeating patterns, even layered in a mix, struck me more like an annoying dripping faucet.
I think that would be far less of an issue if the loops were a couple of minutes long. I’d rather have fewer sound options that aren’t so obviously running in a tight loop than having such a large selection which do.
