Build Recommendations

Prioritized actions based on user demand and market opportunity.

Use authentic, high-quality field recordings of real rain

Users explicitly complain about artificial MIDI-generated sounds and can tell the difference between real and fake recordings, which breaks immersion for sleep/relaxation

Implement seamless audio loops with no detectable repetition

Poor looping breaks the relaxation experience and multiple users cited horrible loops as a deal-breaker

Create simple, obvious playback controls with clear visual feedback

68% of users couldn't get sound to work, indicating the current UI/controls are completely broken or unintuitive - basic functionality must be bulletproof

Offer diverse rain variations (light drizzle, heavy storm, rain on different surfaces)

Users complained all sounds were the same and wanted variety for different moods and relaxation needs

Enable background audio mixing with music/other apps

Users want to layer rain sounds with their own music, which is currently blocked, limiting use cases
