Thundergod — listen to the relaxing sound of thunderstorms

I've always loved the sound of thunderstorms, and now I have some great ones on my iPhone. A company called Naturespace has recorded 65 thunderstorms from around the U.S. and put them into the Thundergod app. They use stereo effectively to track the thunder across the sky so that you feel like you're actually in a thunderstorm. There's a sleep timer so that you can fall asleep to these relaxing sounds. The app isn't cheap, at $9.99, but the quality of recording is excellent. (I'm grateful to them for my freebie review copy.) If you want to get a taste of the high quality Naturespace offers before plunking down $10, you can try their free Naturespace app, which I've written about before. Or visit their website.

While I love the concept and

While I love the concept and have a similar app. $9.99 seems a bit steep for a fairly 1-dimensional app. $2.99 to $4.99 max seems more appropriate to me, but hey just my 2 cents...or not.

Yep, pricey

Agreed that it's an unusually high price. But the quality does stand out. I guess they're so confident of that they feel they can price it that high. Maybe it'll eventually come down.

I Agree

It seems most Apps cost more when they are new. I always try to wait awhile before getting one until its been out for awhile and I can read some reviews on it.
