Thunderstorms have always helped me sleep and this app has awesome ones. Plus, you can adjust so many things like the type of rain, frequency of thunder, etc. I definitely recommend.

Best thunderstorm audio app I have found, the paid version is well worth it. Best listened to with closed cup earphones IMO. Happy me.
