Pros and cons of Yoritsuki app for iPhone and iPad

Yoritsuki app good for

A wonderfull App! But need an update for os 4.0. My 3G crash 3 minutes after launching this app :s! Keep going!!!
Fantastic!!! ... Ideas: - Tea ceremony with people. - Onsen scenario with mountain view. Thank you! PS: ... Did we meet at Katsura Rikyu 2005?
Please make the room floor smaller but the view bigger, birds from both side, they fly only from right to left as far as I see and some reflections on the water surface. :)
Title says it all, its a nice little application, graphics are stunning, though the sound does get annoying. Further Options should be added for customization such as: Sounds : implentation of perhaps music from your own library. Clock : adding an option to view the clock at the base with the wood texture (rather than only making it available when it migrates to the full black background).
Nice application, I agree with Hazelvine, we should be able to select our music to play.
An amazing app that lets you have a bit of serenity anywhere you go. Worth every penny.

Some bad moments

Seeing as you guys removed the message about no longer supporting 3G. I thought it wouldnt let me update anyways but it did. They new features are really cool!... Cept some older features are now borked. The seat cushion is messed up and so are the food placements. Theyre all over the screen and floating. Please fix this ASAP!
I really enjoy this app. Theres nothing like drawing a hot bath and relaxing with the sounds of a hot spring in the background. Id like to see more options and decorations in future updates. Theres just something about the scenes and sounds that make me calm down and smile.
i love this application. the view of this japanese room and backyard remind me of my relatives house in the northern part of japan or very traditional japanese-inn. it is really soothing to hear nice & calming nature sound while seeing this very realistic-looking and detailed japanese room. there are some requests though. i would like to see cats in the room or in the backyard - i would like to see cats walking or playing or slowly moving her tail. the food/dishes that you can see in the room seem to be winter meals so i would like to see soba noodles or seasonless dish. i think seasonless dishes will go well with spring or autumn view. an addition of smoky garas shoji may be nice. i would like to see more items added in later versions, but overall, i love using this app every day to relax.
This is one of the best apps of all time! If you do come out with a special veersion for the iPad, I might just have to buy an iPad!!! Its is a great meditative toy. I play with it at least once a day. At night, I set my Brightness level very low with my Touch on a horizontal stand to help me sleep. The sounds of the water and insects relax me greatly. I also enjoy playing with the shoji. Its very zen. The new updates? BRILLIANT, BEYOND STELLAR. I can spend hours exploring the many new parameters and combinations. SUGGESTIONS: How about the option to layer in some music, maybe shamisen? Or a kimono stand with seasonal kimono to choose from. Or, perhaps a WHOLE NEW APP with a bedchamber and inner walls to decorate with kimono, paintings, sculpture, and traditional furnishings? Another that is the outside garden, or the entranceway to the inn? Id buy them ALL!
Its beautiful and relaxing, I love it. Please add more options. Thanks
I was a bit hesitant at first to buy this but Im very glad I did. Its very relaxing and simply beautiful to look at. I love customizing with all the different options - theres so many combinations possible! The only request I have for future updates would be different backgrounds, perhaps another garden or rock garden. Wonderful job!
