Strange Rain turns your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch into a skylight on a rainy day. Raindrops fall and splatter on your screen, shifting perspective as you tilt your device. Touch the screen and guide the path of the raindrops, stepping through the notes of an eerie melody as you go. It’s a relaxing, intriguing experience that feels as if you’re holding a living window in your hands.

The more you touch, however, the more strange the rain becomes: layered skies, visual anomalies and shifts in speed and color, even the occasional cataclysm if you’re not careful. Before your eyes and beneath your fingers, the familiar becomes strange, and the strange, familiar.

Strange Rain has three play modes. In "wordless" mode, you can simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the falling rain. In "whispers" mode, touching the screen causes some raindrops to turn into words as they fall—words inspired by the qualities of rain.

In "story" mode, every touch triggers a thought as text on screen. These thoughts tell the story of a man in the midst of a family crisis who has wandered into the rain to collect his thoughts. His world, too, has gone from familiar to strange, even as his beliefs are following the opposite course. Your interaction helps determine when and how he decides to come in from the rain.

Strange Rain features interactive music that responds directly to your touch. In addition to the default music included with the original release, two additional scores by composers Chris Schlarb and Michael Gordon Shapiro can now be downloaded for free within the app.

A unique combination of touchscreen play and interactive storytelling, the living sky of Strange Rain awaits your touch.

Pros and cons of Strange Rain app for iPhone and iPad

Strange Rain app good for

Excellent experimental app. Holds many surprises. A master example of digital storytelling. We need more apps like this.
Amazing app its very calming but the added story mode and word mode make it worth it hopefully we will see updates with more stories or modes/settings
Im an iPad newbie, but wow...this app is beautiful. Even the instruction part when you first boot up is well written and entertaining. I can see myself setting this up at work as a bit of an executive toy to ease stress. Enjoy it!
Hope the author adds add-on packs or other variants to the story. Its very pretty. Should have option to turn the xylophone off when you touch or change to another more mellow instrument like the Bloom app. Would be nice to have sun effects and color changes - blue skies sometimes to be mire realistic.
Exams are coming up and Ive been studying a lot, and this is amazing for relaxation! The story mode is okay, but not exactly as I thought it would be. Great app though! Very entertaining and relaxing!
I luv da story. I think it needs more stories though. But luv the idea and da story.

Some bad moments

Really this app is super boring the song it plays is to me at least kinda irritating ad ruins the amazing sound of rain and the game losses my Interest really Quck the strange things are not strange and the clouds dont change why did I spend money on this again
I know its only $1.99, but I still wish Id have kept my money. Its not an app I have used after I checked it out for the first time. Maybe some people love it, but I am not one of them. My recommendation is to save yourself a couple of bucks ... Id have gotten more enjoyment from a large coffee!
The sounds are nice. Its when you have to "reset the game" by tapping the screen as fast as you can that when you start to "fall out of the sky" you will get an air plain crashing. What the heck?!?! That is not relaxing.
This is absolutely NOT relaxing ! Dont loose your time (and money).
this is a great idea for an app! kudos! but it could use (A LOT) improvement: the music doesnt work on my iPhone (4s)!!! please fix! other than that this is fun and relaxing for a while, slightly boring in other modes, and I cant seem to get anywhere on story mode, (just repetitive - he NEVER goes inside)
scaricata( fortunatamente gratis)aperta richiusa eliminata!!!!!
