Bought the full version *2024-11-27, version 2.96* I used this connected to a Bluetooth speaker for my newborn photography sessions, it works like a charm every time and saves me from having to shush babies myself. I do wish there was a version I could download onto my Apple Watch even if it were just to control the sound or replay it so I don’t have to find my phone to replay it after my 60 min timer is up (I use it that way so I can keep track of time during sessions so I don’t go over.) but other than that I have no complaints! ### 2/5 — Not suitable for a baby sleep *2017-01-28, version 1.71* Doesn't play when minimised!?!?!? Adverts are playing sound while baby is trying to fall asleep. And they are louder than the sounds!! Very annoying. I wouldn't purchase more sounds or better version of it if that's all the force of advertising the developer offers. ### 3/5 — Sounds don't play in background *2016-11-22, version 1.71* Has a good range of sounds and the heart beat sound (which is identical to the womb sound fyi, so only 23 sounds in the app in actuality) did help our baby get to sleep. My main two gripes are that the adverts play while your trying to get your baby to fall asleep which makes the free sounds useless and you will end up buying the pro version and that if you close the app the sounds stop. I don't know why the app developer hasn't made it so the apps play in the background with the app closed. The way it is now I can't check my mail, or do anything with the phone apart from use this app. Just because my child needs to sleep doesn't mean I don't want to use my phone. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2016-09-07, version 1.71* Don't even try to download this thing it's useless ### 1/5 — Horrible *2016-09-04, version 1.71* Horrible ### 2/5 — Ads :( *2016-08-26, version 1.71* The ads really get it n the way! ### 1/5 — Don't bother downloading... *2016-07-21, version 1.71* They advertise 27 sounds but you only get 4 free and if you want the other 23 then you have to pay. There are other apps available that are free, have more sounds and more functionality. My advice would be to go for one of those instead... ### 1/5 — Bad Update *2016-07-06, version 1.71* The ap updated and now there's less free sounds. I purchased the rest and it won't update. ### 2/5 — :-( *2016-07-06, version 1.16* I downloaded this to help my colicky baby sleep. He LOVES the vacuum sound, but this app drains my battery super quickly bc it doesn't run in the background. I have to have the screen on for it to work. Additionally, you have to have the sound turned on, so the white noise often gets interrupted due to texts, phone calls and push notifications. Please fix it so it will run in the bg! ### 3/5 — Good *2016-06-21, version 1.16* We all love the heartbeat sound. It stinks that you can't have the sound running and also click off your screen and it still go, much like music will. It shuts the app down. So it you want it to play in a dark room, you have to deal with a bright light. Otherwise it's good. ### 3/5 — Ok *2016-05-18, version 1.16* Ok ### 4/5 — Good *2016-04-23, version 1.16* It works well but because you cannot lock your phone while the app is running, your phone dies quickly and/or become very warm. Other than that my daughter loves the noises and it soothes her right to sleep. ### 2/5 — Like the app but wish the few flaws would be fixed. *2016-04-19, version 1.16* App freezes at times and stops playing. The list scrolls through even if you barely touch it. Several other complaints but it's free so I'll deal with it. ### 1/5 — Ads redirect to malware *2016-04-09, version 1.16* Skip this, plenty more out there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2022-12-08, version 2.90* Stopped working for no reason. Can’t get any sounds. When I tap on the sound I want I get kicked out of app. Can’t and won’t recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Good to start… *2021-11-12, version 2.20* After purchasing the full app, the timer won’t let me extend it further than 20 minutes which renders it useless as it needs to play continuously for my baby to sleep. Very disappointed to of paid but not got full use of the app still ### 1/5 — Unusable, too many ads *2021-04-10, version 2.05* Obnoxious ads make free version unusable. Deleting this app now. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-03-15, version 2.05* Ads started playing during use and woke up my child. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — Bad *2019-04-27, version 2.00* This is ridiculous I want to use this for whatever reason it may be and I can only do three sounds?! What! I got this app before and I could use all the sounds it so ridiculous ### 1/5 — Won’t restore purchase *2019-01-16, version 2.00* Used this app with my first born and we had purchased the full app and loved it. Just re downloaded for our second newborn and it won’t let me restore my purchase. So I am only able to access a few noises and I have the ads back. Super frustrating:/ ### 1/5 — Even After Buying The App Ads Still Plays *2018-01-10, version 1.71* Even After Buying The App Ads Still Plays Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Ads *2017-05-26, version 1.71* I get the need for Ads but this has annoying loud video ads that will wake a sleeping baby do defeats the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — Don't bother! *2017-05-11, version 1.71* I just downloaded this app and is does not work properly. I click on the different sounds available, and nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Rob *2016-12-18, version 1.71* Ads continued despite buying upgrade. And it does not work with screen off or minimised, making it pretty useless for what it is designed to do ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best for baby *2023-05-14, version 2.96* Th ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2023-05-12, version 2.96* My baby felt asleep in a matter of minutes, the apple is simple, just works, no subscriptions or expensive in apps ### 5/5 — Handy little app *2022-12-12, version 2.95* Great update! I have a newborn baby and have been using this app since we got home from the hospital. The noises relax her during feeds and calm her down when she's tired but struggling to get off to sleep. The tropical noise has worked the best for us. I wouldn't be without an app like this! ### 5/5 — Best baby app *2021-05-25, version 2.20* We use this every night! ### 5/5 — Grandson *2016-06-16, version 1.16* This is an awesome app wish I had something like this in my day. Grand baby loved the noises. ### 5/5 — Great app works with my twins *2016-04-28, version 1.16* First review I have done app works great. Nice sound choices I paid for the app to get them all. I just wish it plaid in the back ground. Other wise app has been a life saver helps calm them down ### 5/5 — Sleeping babies. *2016-01-19, version 1.16* My babies sleep through the whole night and it helps me avoid buying a noise maker. Great up. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-12-21, version 1.16* Yep ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2015-08-16, version 1.16* Great app!! ### 5/5 — ) *2015-07-12, version 1.16* Super! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
