Chill App Reviews

Wonderful app. When working from home, I have a hard time concentrating on work due to noisy neighbours that have nothing better to do than watch loud TV all day. Chill made me tune out that neigbour and their noise, made me able to concentrate on my work and made me feel as if I am working from our cottage at the ocean in Nova Scotia!

Its a great idea and a good app!! i wis it had more sound effects :/ But i love the ocean sound effect!! :D

I love the concept.. maybe have different versions though of different sounds. For example, there could be a light drizzle rain, medium rain, hard rain fall... Room for improvement!

One of my favorite app.

I got this app a few minutes ago, while it was free. Expecting a gentle, soothing sound, I turned it on and got the sound of rushing water. My husband, in another room, thought we had a broken water pipe! The sound was extremely annoying. If there are other sounds, I wouldnt know, because I was desperate to shut it off. I couldnt put it in the trash because it was open. There was no choice in the right click to quit, just to open. I couldnt use the keyboard to quit or force quit. It didnt show up in the list of open applications for force quitting! I rebooted my Mac. Phew! It was then closed, so I trashed it. Hoping to save others from this, I found Chill in the Mac Store, but it now costs $2.99. I see that there are now instructions about turning Chill off. Good. But I wouldnt try it again, even if it was free.

I love this app! I find listening to music too distracting when I am studying/doing homework and this helps me to not only block out noise, but also makes me nice and relaxed :) Although I agree with other users, adding a variety of other new sounds would be great.

This app does exactly what it says. It can play 6 disctinct types of ambient/background noise to help you concentrate in noisy places, or relax. My two gripes with this products are: 1. When Chill is in the menu bar (doesnt matter if it is playing sound or not) it has some sort of application running in the background called "BackDropApp" that is only visible when you use Expose to change windows. It only has a label (i.e. no actual window) but when you mouse over it, the entire section of the "BackDropApp" turns blue, reminiscent of Windows blue screen of death. 2. The "Wind" background noise it make sounds nothing like what I think the wind blowing sounds like. Dont think it is worth the money... considering the annoyance of this blue background app that seems to continually be there for no apparent reason.

Chill accomplishes exactly what it purports. I live in character house filled with real characters and all the sounds and happenings entailed in daily life. One click on Chill, and a meditative blanket of tranquil sounds drowns out ambient noise, allowing a more targeting focus on tasks at hand. I can study, write, and read with music in the background but tend towards distraction of melody or lyric. Chill transforms this apartment to rainy day of reading at the cottage, a day writing at the beach, or snuggling with my lady in the midst of a thunderstorm while sipping wine....

Love it! Usually have to have some sort of background sound when I am writing but the radio, MP3s, TV are too distracting - this is great - relaxing and unobtustive - have even tied it in with Omm when I need a change from that apps music. Well woth the money!

Great app for a small price. Several wonderful background sounds, very natural, they help me drift off right away. Great alarm too.

This app is really great. I work in an open concept office and need headphones on to work without distraction, but often listening to music is also distracting. This app is really great for that. Just wish there was a hot key to toggle it on and off.

This app is so useful. I use for so many different things. If not for relaxing then to help with concentration or sleep. If not one of those things then for studying or just to have background noise while doing a task other than actual music. Never had one issue with it’s functionality either. Recommend it to everyone!

Неплохая программка, создает очень хороший фон для работы. Спасибо разработчикам. Хотелось бы побольше звуков в будущем и можно было дешевле по цене. Good App that is create very productive tone for work. Thanks to the developers. In future I want to more sounds and cheaper in price.

No problems with Expose in recent version. Highly recommend this app. Would be great if there will be an option to mix different sounds. Update: Nevertheless, there is still a problem with short "Pier" sound that stops in less than 5 minutes.

Thank you for awesome helpful utility. I want only more realistic rain.

I’ve been using Chill for a while and am very pleased with it. The features are simple and laid out well. The sounds are extremely high quality. One of my daily go to apps whenever I need to relax or focus.

Very effective app: simple interface, well-recorded sounds, no surprises. Bonus points for having included five forms of generated noise (white, brown, etc.).

Since its free the only thing I can recommend to other users is download it. Would be greater if there are more variations, like chatters, traffic, river flowing. Thatd be really cool. I think this is an ingenius idea after hearing the sounds.

This is a great little app, but I would like it better if it had more sound effects such as forest, thunder storm, and heavy rain that are on a clock radio I have. Other than the afore mentioned it is perfect. If you add enough good sound effects I would pay a small amount for the app.

Its perfect for concentrating on work that needs to be done. More sound choices would be nice though.
