  • The best sound app available TRUST ME!

    I have been listening to sound apps for many years, and I just hadn’t found the right one until I found DwellSpring! I use it for my baby to put him straight to sleep, I use it to work and also to relax, and I use it to go to sleep myself as a very exhausted mom. It truly is the ultimate sound app - Look no further, this is the app you’ve been searching for TRUST ME!

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We're thrilled to hear you've found the app to be so helpful! We love seeing when people find multiple ways to incorporate the mixes into their lives and routines! Thanks for sharing! 🙏
  • Too expensive

    The content and available features are great, but $60/year (double if you pay monthly) is too much considering other, similar content is free. Without the membership the app is worthless because you can only listen 5 mins at a time. If there was a free version where you could listen to just a few recordings without time limits that would be infinitely better (pun intended).

    Hi there! We understand you feel the subscription price is high and we know that it's very hard for many to absorb new costs into their monthly budgets. However, developing a mobile app is incredibly expensive and we’re a very small team. The subscription enables us to recoup the large costs of development as well as pay the team who worked hard to build it. That being said, we want everyone to have the tools they need to reclaim their rest, and we will work with you to find a subscription price that is more manageable if you email support@dwellspring.io. Hope to hear from you!
  • Love the concept and the options, but the alarm doesn’t work

    Hey Team, was really excited to see 12 hour sound machines release this option for an app. I love all the options and the way things are broken down. I was really considering buying the annual membership, but my first night using the app, I set an alarm.

    Unfortunately the alarm never went off. I tried it again just a few moments ago to test it out, and the sound decreased nicely, but there was literally no sound coming out of the phone when the alarm was supposed to go off.

    If this gets fixed, I will definitely consider purchasing.

    Hi there! So sorry you experienced this. That's incredibly frustrating 😣 especially for a feature like the alarm that you have to trust so completely. We definitely understand your disappointment! Make sure you have your Do Not Disturb off and your phone off of "Silent" or else you will not hear the alarm. This is only temporary, but it's an approval process you have to go through with Apple and until they give us approval we are not able to override those two settings. It's not ideal, but just wanted to communicate the interim solution in the mean-time while we wait to hear back from Apple and solve this the right way. Again we apologize for that issue. We're working hard to get it resolved quickly!
  • Easy to use and personalize

    I like how intuitive the interface is, whether I want to explore a new sound or make my own. The tools for soundscape creation are next level compared to the other apps I’ve used. And the Creator Exchange looks promising.

    So glad you've already been finding the tools to be helpful! We worked hard to build practical value into every feature! We're sure that you'll continue to enjoy the app as you keep exploring!
  • Best Ever

    Had the app for about a week now. The depth of sleep I’ve enjoyed is remarkable. The combination of moods, colors and energy have made choosing my nightly concert an event I look forward to.

    And I haven’t even scratched the surface of combinations. Thank you for this super cool app🤗😴

    Developer Response

    This is incredible feedback, thank you so much! We're so glad to hear you've found the app to be helpful and that you've enjoyed taking advantage of all the combinations we worked hard to offer for our first release 😊. We hope you continue finding value in every new feature you explore! 😴
  • Great! Here are some ideas for improvement

    Dwellspring is incredible for my insomnia! There are no ads, it doesn’t automatically charge you after your free trial, and it has TONS of content to choose from.

    An issue I’ve run into: sound quality. I’ll go in and mix up a new sleep sound, and it sounds great while I’m mixing! The second it loads up and saves to my library, though, I feel like it’s so much quieter and less crisp. Not a huge deal, as the difference is fairly minor, but it still bugs me whenever I notice.

    I’ve also had the app suddenly stop playing in the middle of the night for whatever reason?

    But overall, cannot recommend Dwellspring— or its developer’s other content— enough. Good work all around 🫶

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your encouraging words! We love hearing how helpful it has been for you! The issue you experienced with the sounds stopping unexpectedly was raised to us and we worked hard to get that addressed right away. We published the fixes for that last week and if you update you won't ever have that problem again 👍. Thank you so much for using Dwellspring and for your valuable feedback! We appreciate you! 🙏
  • Endless Options for Your Custom Audio

    I’ve been excited for this app to come out after using the creator’s podcast 12 Hour Sound Machine to fall asleep to every night. I’ve switched fully to the Dwellspring app and love all the ways you can tailor and build a soundscape to fit your personal sleep or concentration needs, or just explore what other people have created and see what works for you. It’s very new so there may be some bugs to deal with right now but their response has been swift with great customer service. I’m very happy with the app in general and love using it every night!

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your very kind words! We're so encouraged to hear you find the features we've worked so hard on to be helpful! We're pushing every day to improve the app and make the experience a more valuable tool for users like yourself. We hope you continue to enjoy every aspect of Dwellspring as you continue to explore! 😴
  • best choice!

    This is a great app with lots of options, without having too many options and an uncluttered interface. Highly recommend and a great place to discover a new sound that works for you!

    Developer Response

    This is so wonderful to hear. Thank you so much! We're so glad you appreciate the number of options we worked hard to offer at launch while making sure things didn't feel overwhelming or cluttered 🙌.
  • More than a “sound machine”

    This has so much more to offer than just a sleep “sound machine” though there is plenty of white/brown noises great for sleeping. But I found creating your own custom sound blends or nostalgic experiences to be addictive. I couldn’t believe how fun it was and how “personal” my creations were with blends of good memories and some of my favorite sounds. Love it!

    Developer Response

    This is EXACTLY the kind of feedback we like to hear ❤️. Thank you so much! The nostalgia-blast is one of our favorite aspects of creating custom mixes, too 😊! So glad to hear how the app has been helpful for you!
  • Slick, easy to use, rewarding way to focus

    I’ve always used brown noise to focus, but Dwellspring has made me discover so many other uses and sounds. It’s now the app I have running pretty much all day! It’s easy to use, a slick and lively design, which makes me look forward to opening it up. There’s so much control with mixing and the gamification aspect of it makes it even more rewarding. Highly recommend!

    Developer Response

    Thank you so much for your feedback and words of encouragement! We love hearing that you look forward to opening and using the app. That's "white noise" to our ears 😄! Hope you continue to find value in every new feature you explore! 😴
