Best in class and responsive support

Ive tried several of these, some from the Mac App Store and some not; and I think Elsewhere is the best implementation of an ambient sound app for the Mac.

CON: It worked on my laptop one time, then the volume slider broke and the sounds take several minutes to get going—this may be a conflict with one of my other apps though. Limited ambient themes (but in-app purchases of additional sound themes might be the whole strategy—to earn a living I suppose; Im going to buy the Rain one and Id pay for one with more birds and…I dunno…bees.)

PRO: It works perfectly on my wifes iMac—and when I say perfectly I mean the UI is simple, efficient, and all features of the app work as expected. The ambient themes are excellent; I suppose they repeat but I havent noticed (and thats the main thing that disappoints with other apps like this—I have tried them ALL). Sound quality is superb. I like the in-app purchase option for more themes and I hope they do more! As for the problem with Elsewhere on my MacBook Pro, I posted a support request via their online form and they got back to me next day. Pretty good support for a free app!
