Backyard Rain Soundscape

Nature soundscape audio. A cozy rain ambience mix for background listening. You control the intensity via crank or D-pad.  

Audio from Playdate sounds *so* good, we need some natural soundscapes on it. This app plays rain ambience recorded in my backyard. 

• Use the crank to adjust rain intensity. (it cross fades between different segments of a longer recording)
• Never hear the loops: detailed natural recordings recordings of different lengths and slowly adjusted playback mix. 
• You control the thunder ... using the A button. :)  
• Nearly static visuals (just the rain animation), this app is all about the sound. 
• Best with headphones or the (upcoming) Stereo Dock. 
  
• The sleep timer is disabled for longer listening, but re-enabled once a selectable amount of battery remains, so you always have some battery left in case you enjoy listening for many hours.
