TaoMix 2 - Relax, Sleep, Focus 4+

Great app for meditation and background sounds

The app’s function is absolutely essential. Huge sound selection, great features, great all round. It’s wonderful to just have some sound in the background and it works behind the media playing which is spectacular. I wish there was cloud save, that the share function worked, and that we could preview and favourite some sounds in the library.

Outstanding ambience app, best one I’ve found.

This app allows you to make your own soundscapes to create the environment you want to hear... but better than that, each of the soundscapes is never the same twice. A small cursor floats all over the screen, and each sound varies its volume as the cursor floats past; this really brings the soundscape to life. You can also make the cursor move faster or slower as you like. There are loads of sounds, the quality of each one is great and it’s fun to mix them all up and come up with exactly what you want to hear.

Since the recent update I had a problem restoring my sounds, I contacted the company and asked for them to look into it for me. I was very pleased with the speed that they fixed it and with their customer service.

This is a really easy and effective app to use if you want bespoke, ambient environments for meditation, relaxation or just to play in the background. Personally I use it for Tai Chi, when I’m reading a book and I want to create an atmosphere, or just to go to sleep with.

What happened??? Such a shame...

UPDATE: a new version out today, 28 Jan 18, but still no sign of the annihilated soundscapes. The developer keeps telling people how to restore sound_packs_ knowing full well that isn’t the main issue. People, I think our soundscapes are gone for good, and no amount of distraction from the dev is going to bring them back. The least they could do is be clear about all this! Well, that’s me out of here. I suppose they won’t be too bothered anyway as I paid for all the soundpacks last year.

This was a fantastic app, one of my favourite. Then a recent update annihilated the many soundscapes I’d spent tons of time creating and tweaking over the months - pieces of audio that had come to mean a lot to me.

I really don’t understand how the developer could allow this to happen. The app had always seemed lovingly and carefully designed to me.

And to discover that the new subscription pricing is $7.99 just beggars belief. By all means charge for a good product, but that’s just so way out. Especially in light of this recent disastrous update.

Anyway, I’m sad to say I doubt I’ll be using the app any more given that I can no longer rely on it. I can only hope there’s something similar out there...
