App Keeps Resetting

I like the default noises, and the ability to mix is also wonderful. In addition, the extra noises are pretty cheap.
However, every time I close the app, the whole thing resets. Noises that I deactivated will reappear on the main screen, noises that I bought will have to be accessed through the "restore purchases" menu, and mixes will disappear while the default mix will reappear, even if I deleted it.
It's weird because I'm still signed in when I reopen the app, but all of the above happens. Is it something on my end, or is it possible to fix this?

Forget-Me-Not

Why does the app keep forgetting my setup of sounds and my mix? Everytime I switch it on it’s reset to default! Other than that it’s great app, I like the extra paid sounds the most and I like it turns off after certain time I specify.

Put previously owned sounds behind paywall

I paid for this app years ago, and I see now with this update, it wants me to re purchase the sounds I already had bought before.

Best asmr ever

So relaxing best sound app

Sounds bad compared to website

Disappointed by this app as the rain sound is different than on the website, and has a weird sort of echo in the background. sounds less like rain and more like a buzzing sort of white noise

The last upgrade broke the app!

I have depended on this app exclusively for the last few years to aid my falling asleep. I chose it after trying several others that didn’t measure up. I even recommended it on social media. But now it’s broken: since the last upgrade within the last month my mixes failed to perform. They would either start low volume and never reach the ones I set them at or they would rapidly lose volume many minutes before the timer setting. Trashing my existing ones and trying to create new mixes result in the same disappointment. Unless it’s fixed soon I’ll delete it and share my unhappy experiences with it all over social media. The clock is ticking…

Great to keep me focused

I really like the app, it has a nice base set of sounds you can make into playlists to keep it varied over a long period of time.
I did purchase the “web sounds” set and can say the coffee shop mixed with rain and fire is a great mix.
I would like to see a try before buy option for the sets but otherwise I like the sounds that are available in general and look forward to adding onto what I’ve got.
I’m busy procrastinating from my work by writing this, but managed a full 2 hours solid with the rain and thunder in the background

The gold standard web version now on the go

I used the web hosted version of ‘A Soft Murmur’ for many years in my home office. The sounds are well chosen, well mixed and high quality. The icing is that it retains your last session choice when you load it the next time so you aren’t fiddling with sound settings. Hit play and jump into your work to concentrate or drown out noise to sleep. With the app, now I have the same great benefits while working remotely.

Customize what the perfect relaxing environment sounds like

I have been using this app for years now.It made me more comfortable studying and gave me a more relaxed mind.I used the website for years and now I am trying the app.This is much better than anything.

One critical bug

The loop back period has a bug in it, where the sound grows further and further apart at the time the loop happens. A few hours later, there is a long, silent pause where the sound is meant to loop. This has been happening to me consistently for years of using this app on and off.

This is a MUST FIX type bug, because it severely degrades one’s ability to sleep while using the app. (For me, the white noise keeps me asleep through the night.)
