Flow - Sounds for Productivity

now i can finally drown out THe noise with my preferred brand of noise

The app icon is gorgeous and what got me to choose this app. I really like the aesthetic, and the app is well designed. I like the sounds presented. Here are my recommendations: - It would be nice if the app opened when I click the icon in the dock. Even if the app is in the menu bar. (Not sure if that's possible, but the icon is so pretty I just want to see it and have it be useful). - The "play until" analog clock is hard to use. Should be a simple digital clock with up and down buttons for hour and minute for how long you want the sound to play. - Should be able to hide the pomodoro section if not in use. (I'm only using this for the sounds). - Personally I would replace the emoji in the menu bar with the pretty lotus icon. :) Thank you for this very aesthetic, beautiful sound app.

Unistalled after 5minutes - The loop of the sounds are very short and I started predicting them after a couple minutes very distracting!

I was expecting better from an app that was rated 4.6 stars. I like noise apps with sounds of cafes, construction sites, busy terminals, etc. for working. You hear people talking, but you cannot make out what they're saying, which is ideal because then the talking isn't distracting. The problem is when you can make out what they're saying, because it makes the repetition of the loop so obvious, especially when it's so short like in this app (20 seconds). Next thing you know you're waiting to hear that notification sound in the background and then "no thank you Manny...", instead of focusing on your work. So it defeats the purpose of listening in the first place.

I like the simplicity of this app but that is also its shortcoming. Has four tracks, but the coffee shop track is practically a track of what I'd use this app to avoid, hearing "No thank you Manny... We have some people who come in every day..." every 30-40 seconds especially ruins it. Would love more tracks of rain/ocean/forest sounds or white/grey noise and the option to mix them. Will have to look for another option, as mynoise.net still has a leg up.

I love the simple design of this app compared to some other background noise apps. Also, the emoji in the menu bar is just perfect! :D Wish there were more sounds but it's great as-is.

But needs more sounds, such as an air conditioner sound or air filter or fan. Check out the sound "Air Conditioner" in the White Noise Lite app. That's what I want in Flow Sounds. I would totally switch if it had something like that, which blocks out sound nicely and helps me focus. White Noise Lite is way too bloated.
