Return to the 12 hours timer

Used to love this app and have been using it for over 5 years. You used to be able to put the timer on for up to 12 hours now it’s only up to 8 hours. Don’t know who decided that would be a great idea—it’s not. It sucks! I’m not a fan of the recent update because now my sleep is interrupted just to readjust the timer, that’s the only reason I’m writing this review to express my disappointment.

Almost perfect

Great sounds but there is a break in the loop. I’m an audio engineer and producer so it’s frustrating to hear something that is such an easy fix. Please update or send me the stems so I can fix it for you.

Ty.Lu, Thank you for the feedback. I’m happy to let you know that a new update has just been released with a noticeably smoother experience. The subtle interruption between loops has been completely removed — the app now supports up to 8 hours of truly seamless audio. Let me know your thoughts once you try it! Thanks again!

Good but could be better

Not many black noise apps around so it’s definitely worth it. few gripes; randomly stopping and starting after a few minutes even if it’s set to 24 hr, could be louder, would be nice if it could play at the same time as other apps such as Spotify

Love the sounds

I love falling asleep to this app, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because of the stall when it loops on a long play timer. There’s a gap in the playback when it loops around.
Otherwise it’s great.

Goes silent every ten minutes

Perfect sleeping sounds if they didn’t go dead silent every ten minutes, waking me up.

Airplane is Great!

Finally, normal noise you can sleep to. Don’t understand why it’s been so hard to find natural sounding sleep noise. No monkeys in a jungle or unnatural static noises named after colors. This is great!

Great App

This is a great alternative to the typical white noise app. The selections have a deeper, fuller sound compared to most apps I’ve tried. My girlfriend often needs continuous noise to fall asleep. This taps into my sci-fi nerdom as I feel like I’m on a spaceship... so this works for both of us for very different reasons! Space Quarters and Space Station are our favorites so far.

Excellent (But...)

As other reviewers have said, this app is great, but the fact that the sounds don’t loop seamlessly is really annoying.

Cuts out

Used to love this out but you now press the sound it cuts out after 1-2 seconds been like this for months it’s so temperamental you don’t know whether it’s going to work or not before you go to sleep very frustrating

Great but…

I really enjoy the space background noises for sleep BUT I hate hearing the not so seamless loop transition. And that makes me sad because the space atmosphere is so good otherwise!

Loved the app before, but it’s useless now. I hope you will be updating.

Bead spot

Every 5 minutes the sound loops and there is approximately 1 second of silence. So what you say! Well it’s enough to disrupt your sleep.

Great app but..

Great app but the only issue is the pauses between loops. I wish it could be a little more seamless. But hey it’s a free app!

Space

Finally something other than the traditional ambient noises. Space Cruiser is my favorite tone but I don’t use it because the volume is too quiet and there is static, not found on the other tones. Over all, great app but volume needs bumped up so I can adjust it to my preference.

Love this idea!

I’m a sci fi geek and this is great! Love going to sleep in my “space quarters”. Will share this app with friends for sure.

Needs fade out

This App is very good there aren’t many with spacecraft sounds around but this one has them I love that sound it helps me sleep and the App also has a timer the only problem is that the noise stops abruptly at the end of your selected time and that wakes you up also the “space quarters” has a pause in it I’m sure it’s not supposed to be there because it wakes you up ! Please add a fade out and fix the pause then this App will be perfect!

Why has the time maximum time decreased??

Thank you for changing the sleep time back to a full night :) <<I used to really love this to sleep to because it is so much more soothing than white noise. But since the new update, the time limit has been decreased from over 10 hours to only 4!?? Everyone sleeps longer than four hours! And unfortunately I’m a very light sleeper so this actually wakes me up now when it stops. That’s the worst. Please change it back.>> Thank you for responding so quickly and giving us such a sound sleep aid! updated 8/20/18

I didn’t realize some people need the sound playing all through the night. I changed it to a shorter interval because I thought most people only needed the sound to get themselves to sleep. Didn’t realize stoping the sound after you were asleep would wake someone people up. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will work on an update to extend the time. Thank You for your review.

What the heck!?

Why shorten to 4 hours. ? Who sleeps for 4 hours.?
