### 2/5 — The sounds are pretty good, but….

*2024-03-07, version 2.3*

The sounds are all pretty good. Especially brown noise, which I use to block my tinnitus. But all this dude’s apps are lacking one essential thing. A timer!

I cannot use this app or ANY of his apps at night because I don’t want to have to wake up to switch the thing off. 

What I want to do. Which is what MANY people do. Is set the thing going as you go to bed and have it switch off after 30 minutes or an hour! But I can’t do that so I don’t use this app! 

If only he’d add a time function I’m sure his apps would be way more popular than they are!

### 5/5 — AWESOME APP!!!!

*2015-01-24, version 2.1*

I love your app it has great detail

### 4/5 — Very Cool Very Nice

*2015-01-03, version 2.1*

I like it

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2014-10-06*

This app is great for blocking out extraneous noise. It is perfect for focusing, keeping steady, and concentrating.

### 5/5 — Zzzzzzzz

*2014-10-06*

Usually I fall asleep with my face inches away from a fan. When I'm not home, this app is a lifesaver. I tested a lot of free soundscape apps and found this one had the best pre-bundled collection of sounds I was looking/listening for. That is all.

### 5/5 — Great Free app

*2014-10-05, version 2.1*

Best Free Sound app I found.

### 5/5 — iOS 8 causes gaps in sounds

*2014-09-20*

Since iOS 8 update, there is a gap in pink noise.

### 2/5 — Not working right

*2014-09-03*

This app used to work great but now the timer doesn't turn the sound off. I enjoy falling asleep to the pebble beach noises but I find that it actually keeps me from falling into that deep sleep when it doesn't turn off after an hour. Please get this fixed so I can enjoy your app again!

### 2/5 — Works, but crashed

*2014-07-19*

This works well for sleep, but for some reason when I added a sound by purchase it ceased working! I had to unload then reload the app. I lost my purchased sound. Anyone else have this problem?
I'm out $1, no big deal. Just went on and downloaded another sound app that didn't crash. Decided not to purchase anymore apps from this place. I would recommend the same for other people.

### 4/5 — Works great!

*2014-07-16*

Love the app but wish it would remember the last sound I played so I didn't have to scroll through all the sounds to get to the one that works for me.
