Sonus Island: Relaxing Sounds for Negative User Reviews
✓ Really £3.99Not really free..Version: 1.9
✓ Please remove the musicHi! I’ve loved using this app for years but the new addition of the music is really off putting, at least add a toggle that allows people to switch it on and off. I’ve just downloaded a new app and won’t be using this one again until this feature is added. So disappointing.Version: 2.2
✓ Good but there is no option to turn off music.This is a great app and I paid for the full version but I fired it up for the first time in a while to discover there is now music playing too. I preferred just the relaxing sounds but the music ruins the neutral relaxing atmosphere for me. Please please please put in the option to disable music as it detracts from the experience I paid the money to enjoy. Thanks..Version: 2.2
✓ BoringBoring boring...........Version: 1.4
✓ Too LoudI cannot hear the vocal audio above the jungle sounds, they are far too loud & therefore it’s very hard to follow the guided meditation & ultimately relax..Version: 2.0
✓ Nice Sounds, Difficult DesignThe sounds are quite lively, though you do need to purchase the full set to make it worth it. That I don’t mind, but the landscape-only mode is a nuisance and makes the app difficult to use. Just make a portrait mode and it’s a 5-Star app..Version: 1.9
✓ Used to be 5 starsWish there was a way to toggle off the music. I just want to hear the water, not some spa music. I find it hard to enjoy with the music..Version: 2.2
✓ MusicPlease take away the music in the background!.Version: 2.2
✓ Adding music ruined the nature sounds.Please remove the added music. There are a million spa music apps out there. This app was five stars for me until today. Remove or allow a toggle off? Do something please. My favourite app..Version: 2.2
✓ Sounds are too repetitiveThe sounds do not sound authentic because they are too repetitive, and thus not soothing. I wanted to ask for my money back, but Apple did not have a refund option for me being dissatisfied. Very disappointed..Version: 1.8
✓ Wouldn’t get itThe human voice is drowned by the island sounds so it’s not useful at all..Version: 1.9
✓ AnnoyingThis app comes with a voice and it doesn't seem to have any method to turn it off. I was going to buy the whole version but a disembodied voice ( no matter how short) spoils the mood..Version: 2.0
✓ I would give it a five but the music ruined itThey have to change this.Version: 2.2
✓ Allow music offMaybe Im mistaken, but I recall there didn’t always use to be music in the background. I like the nature sounds but the music I really hate. Please allow the option to turn off the music!.Version: 2.2
✓ No option to turn off musicLike other reviewers, I loved this app for the beautiful artwork and relaxing nature sounds. This is all completely ruined now and the app is basically rendered useless due to distracting New Age music that was added in some update, which YOU CANNOT TURN OFF. Please get rid of the music or at least have an option that allows you to have nature sounds only with no music. Why on earth would you design an app as beautiful as this, then ruin it with music you can’t turn off, I just don’t get it??.Version: 2.3
✓ Fake free appThis is not a truly free app. No point in getting it if you’re not willing to pay £4 for the full version..Version: 1.4
✓ Too little contentFor $3.99 I’d expect to see way more content! At least adding more images or something. Smh..Version: 1.2
✓ Costs £3.99 to relaxSurely there’s a cheaper way.Version: 2.1
✓ Great before the musicLoved this app before the music was added. It’s a shame to have paid for the full version only to not be able to use the app any longer..Version: 2.2
✓ Didn’t pay for music…I purchased this app because it didn’t have music or spa sounds. Now it does, flop. Guess I’ll have to listen to ocean waves on YouTube or something..Version: 2.2
✓ Not freeI would be a lot better if they could make you pay for an extra island or something but you can only listen to one and it cost £4 to get the others.Version: 1.4
✓ Bit disappointedI enjoyed the free version of this, the graphics are lovely, the voice in the guided meditation is relaxing and I enjoyed the sound effects, so I decided to purchase the full version . Unfortunately I didn’t realise there was only one additional guided meditation and all the other options are just the sound effects , which I found a bit too similar to each other. Don’t think it was worth the purchase unfortunately. Really would have preferred a higher meditation to sound effect ratio!.Version: 1.9
✓ BaaadOnly get one sound out of about eight not even Avery good sound don't get unless paying ☹️.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Thinking twiceI updated my phone and now SI does not launch... rebooted, removed and reinstalled.... crickets. Please fix! I was considering purchasing, this is why I wait, after reading reviews. Personally I enjoy it but thinking twice. Please fix for UNLUCKY iOS 13.Version: 2.0
✓ Nice app but could do with some modificationsIt’s actually a pretty good app. I would have given it five out of five stars if there were a few things that could be changed. I’m totally blind myself and I use an iPhone with the voice over facility which allows a blind person to read the screen. You may be aware of this or perhaps not, but you could make this app a bit more accessible and I can use it but a lot of it is guesswork trying to get around the screen. If you could make the icons a bit more audible so when a blind person can touch the screen as they flick around it it should speak what different options there are. I really don’t want to sound like I’m being ungrateful or nasty but once you have ironed out those bugs which could make this app more accessible to blind person. Then I think you’re definitely on a winner and you could potentially have another audience of people to approach. So in summary, keep up the good work but please try and make the app more accessible. If I can assist in any way then I don’t mind helping you. Many thanks.:).Version: 2.0
✓ DecievingApp is deceiving. Charges $.99 to download but if you want to explore the app and you want what they are advertising in their description, you have to pay $3.99 Unfortunately, I downloaded the app, now I'm trying to figure out how to get it off my phone. Too bad they didn't do with they said they did......Version: 1.8
✓ Not for me; but a good appI’m all for high quality binaural sounds, and this app is full of definitely great quality sound samples.. my issues are mostly in the app design... forced landscape view, and no integration to AirPlay so I can use external (Sonos) speakers. So for those reasons, I’m out.Version: 1.9
✓ Sometimes the meditations can get in the way of the soundsI love the sounds but prefer Wildfulness as it is just so simple and personally I would prefer there be an option to launch the guided tour meditations as a normal soundscape so I can use the custom timer..Version: 1.4
✓ Ruined over the yearsAdded in music you can’t toggle off, which is a pretty wild decision..Version: 2.2
✓ Massively overratedDon’t waste your time or money. Very surprised this one an Apple award..Version: 1.5
✓ Can’t hear the voice!The sounds are so loud I couldn’t hear the guided meditation at all. Instant delete. 😕.Version: 2.2
✓ Pretty misleadingDon’t be mislead by the free price tag. As soon as you open the app, you realize that the actual content costs $4. Very misleading.Version: 1.8
✓ Sonos Island ReviewSounds are fantastic, love the feel of the app. But the guided meditation spoils it purely because of the voice. Sounds like a computer generated voice and way, way too fast. The content is great, but it needs to be spoken by a real person with a soothing voice. Needs to be pauses of more than half a second between each instruction/ sentence. Meditation should be gentle and meandering, not rushed. I don’t mean to leave a bad review to be spiteful or offensive, in fact I hope the public don’t see this, only the app developers because I think you’re on to something really, really good. But the guided meditation lets it down completely. Look at an app called ‘Headspace’ if you haven’t already; the speed and tone of the voice for guided meditation in that app is excellent and you can learn a lot from it..Version: 1.9
✓ I do not like the musicI love the nature sounds, very relaxing. The music is distracting, and it irritates me. I can’t relax because I’m focus on the music. I have no idea why you added music..Version: 2.2
✓ Don't get this appYou have to pay for all the locations except one, the audio of the one free location is poor and the voice that speaks to you is no better than listening to Siri give you instructions. ..WASTE OF TIME APP...Version: 1.4
✓ Not that goodI downloaded this app because I needed soundscape noises to help me sleep. So when I downloaded this app it only gave me two sounds and I could only listen to other ones if I go the premium version..Version: 2.1
✓ YOU RUINED THE APPThis was my favorite app at one point for the simple nature sounds but it has since Been RUINED with the addition of music. PLEASE STOP THIS!!! PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO TURN THAT CHEAP MUSIC OFF AND LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF NATURE ALONE. THIS APP IS NOT AT ALL WHAT IT ONCE WAS I WANT A REFUND.Version: 2.3
✓ Added Music???Please at least add an option to have no music. Honestly the seamless sound affects was what set this app apart. Who even asked for this generic spa music lol..Version: 2.3
✓ Unfortunately meagerAs had been mentioned previously, there’s simply not enough content to encourage purchasing it. Too bad... seems like a good idea..Version: 1.9
✓ Promising but DisappointingDoes not work! Apple should try these apps out, before they make one an “app of the day” Looks wonderful, but nothing works!.Version: 1.8
✓ Please RemoveI loved the option where I just heard pure nature sounds especially the Lunar Beach was amazing. The addition of the background music ruins this experience and makes it artificial. Please remove this sound or at least make the option to mute it. For now I will give the rating 2 stars where before it was 5 for me without the background music..Version: 2.3
✓ Good but needs improvementFirst off I wanna say I do enjoy the app and I payed for the full version. I enjoy listening to the waves and the app itself is easy to use and is very relaxing. However, I feel like there isn’t much variety in sounds for what I payed for. The whale noises, featured in the full version, are very short and are just on repeat the entire time. It would be better if there were more noises and sounds in a single piece/section. Overall, a good app but the lack of material let’s it down and therefore I have to give it 3/5 but if there were more variety then I’d happily bump it up to a 5/5.Version: 2.0
✓ Ruined with musicPlease, give the option to turn off the music!.Version: 2.2
✓ Music toggle pleaseGood app until the last update... there is no toggle to turn this music off.Version: 2.2
✓ Music should be optionalPlease make an option to switch the music off - liked this app better when it was just the nature sounds..Version: 2.2
✓ Was perfect - ruined with background music“Best of 2017” was a rating of what the app app used to be before they added music. I used this app everyday, and one of the reasons I liked it was because of the ambient beach sounds with no music. Now with the recent update, they’ve added in music to the background that you can’t toggle off. I would’ve never purchased the app in its current state - why did you think this was a good idea??.Version: 2.2
✓ Not What I Was ExpectingI was excited to find this app but when I went in the app, it seems that there's only one scene of the island that's free..Version: 1.4
✓ The meditations aren't guidedThe sounds are great, the animation is pretty, but you can't advertise this as a guided meditation app. Regardless of whether you choose a guided meditation for 3 min, 10 min, or more, it's the same "guide" process. 3 min of someone guiding you through a visualization of the location, ending with the conclusion to open your eyes and come out of it. You are then left to your own devices listening to the sounds for your chosen time, before it abruptly ends and roughly jolts you back. I paid the in app fee to have access to the guided meditations, and that is what I got for my "money's worth". If you are looking for a real guided meditation app, don't sink your money into this app..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Guided mediations can’t hearI can’t hear the voice over the background because the background is so loud. There’s a sliding bar to increase the voice but it is still drowned out by the loud background.Version: 2.3
✓ Please give an option for musicI was using this several times a day to nap with my baby and had to switch to a playlist on Spotify to get rid of the music. I don’t want the music, just the rush of the wind and waves, crickets and birdsong. I’d give this a 5 again if they took off the music or gave me a toggle, but I have completely stopped using it since. Not even ONE location on the island is without music..Version: 2.2
