Great content, but UI is meh

The sound recordings in this app are excellent, and I love that they are stored on the device so you don’t have to be online to listen. But navigation is limited. There is a track list, but you have to swipe through all the apps to get to it, so what’s the point? A shortcut button to the track list is needed. Otherwise the only fast way to get to your favorite track is to make a playlist with one track in it, because there is a Playlists button. Notably missing from this app is a timer/alarm function. These are the perfect sounds to fall asleep or wake up to, but there’s no in-app functionality to, for example, turn off the rain sounds after an hour and then play the dawn birdsong at 7 a.m.
I knew Irv Teibel!

Many long years ago in Austin, a magazine sent me to do an article on Irv Teibel and his recordings. He was a fascinating, delightful gentleman, very generous of time and spirit, and we stayed in touch for years. I still have the albums he gave me, and his thunderstorms have always been my favorite companions when I need to concentrate or rest. I’m thrilled to find his recordings have become so very easily accessible in app form, and that Irv’s memory lives on in them! ❤️
Should add speed adjustments

I love reading about the field recording and Teibal’s techniques/influence, but would be great to be able to adjust the speed as he intended with the original LPs.
Beautiful recordings, disgracefully half-baked app

The recordings are incredible, the app is half-baked and just terrible. You can’t control anything from the app itself. You can pause, but not skip forward in a track and it’s permanently in portrait mode even when my ipad is in landscape on its keyboard. The grainy pictures are awful. Why put out this incredible body of work and make it next to impossible to listen to it?

Best thing I’ve downloaded in years. Absolutely beautiful. I hope there will be more recordings released in the future.
Beautiful Sounds

I love this app, I was worried I might be disappointed by the sound quality despite the good reviews but I’m happy to report it is just as gorgeous as I hoped. I’ll definitely be using this app everyday. I’m in school and really wanted music for background noise when I study and this is perfect.
Clunky at best

The sounds recorded is good, and there is a decent (although very limited) bit of stuff. However, it’s not optimized for the iPad and the interface is clunky and hard to use. It needs some serious polish before they can ethically charge for it.
GREAT App— only one complaint
HawkDancer
I love this app! The music/sounds are amazing to listen to, and it also doesn’t screw up your Spotify Discover Weekly picks (because listening to study music on Spotify causes some confused algorithm robots). My only complaint is that the app should have a landscape version! It only has portrait, and will subsequently get my other apps “stuck” in portrait mode. I have to turn the iPad or iPhone around to get back into portrait mode. Very frustrating for productivity purposes! :(
Sensitivity area of “Play” button to be improved

Greate app and sounds. One downside though. Sensitivity area of navigation buttons “Play” and “Information” should be improved. Very easy to miss even with fairly precise touches.
