Chill App Reviews

I work in what is known as an open office. No cubicle walls, high ceilings and surrounded by a variety of working employees. Some have to make calls, some have to discuss plans for a project and some just have to have the standard water cooler talk. This program makes it easy for me to focus on what I have to do, while ignoring all the other stuff. --- Have a co-worker who likes to squeak their chair…. get this. --- Have a co-worker who likes to text on the phone with keyboard clicks turned on…… get this. --- Have a co-worker who leaves their phone on and doesnt use the vibrate function….get this. --- Have a big project to finish and the noise from the lights or fans bugs you….get this. I could go on for a long time and I still would tell you to….. get this.

Easy to use, and sounds are good. I agree with adding some "coffee shop" type sounds. And one other thing: it would be nice to have easy keyboard shortcuts to turn off/on the sound (and maybe even to change sounds). I find that when I get a call, I just mute the computer, but then I forget Chill is running until later, and its unnecessarily using up computing power (as well as surprising me later when I wake the computer up and it starts making noise!).

I have trouble keeping focused while working and have tried many apps like this one. What makes this app better than most is that it’s simple and doesn’t add more distraction with ads or a flashy interface. One feature I would love to see is the ability to select multiple sounds. Specifically, I’d like the ability to overlay the colored noises along with the normal sounds. I’d pay more for this feature.

I am a student and a musician. It is great to be able to play a solid stream of non-distracting sounds through my apple TV. The only problem is that then, all my music is also forced to come out of my apple TV too. I have used Soundflowerbed and Jackwire to bus the stream coming from chill into my apple TV so that I can listen to music on my headphones or built-in speakers, but this is cumbersome to set up. It would be great if, in the preferences, I could set it to route to the Apple TV and then I could still play my computer audio through the built-in or the headphone jack. In all, the colored-noise options are varied and quite lovely. I’m personally not partial to the other sounds (i.e. rain, thunderstorm, airplane, etc.) but the different colors of noise make it optimal for fine-tuning based on the speakers. My bose speakers sound great with pink noise, but my built-ins sound best with brown. Hope this helps and truly look forward to a separate audio routing option, just like iTunes currently has.

This app does exactly what it says it does! Its wonderful and really helps me to focus in crowded coffee shops or the campus library! I also got the app on my phone, dont remember if that came with it or not, and love them both. Five stars in my book, many options, and works well and easily!

Bought this for the thunderstorm sound to listen to while programming. Does not disappoint. All of the sounds seem to be extremely well mastered with no obvious loop points.

I agree with most everyone here on a few of the additional features to be added, but I would really love to see sound oscillation as an option!
