In Blankie 2.0, there is now a menubar icon that opens a popover where you can update your mix and even set a timer. Because of feedback like yours, I added an option in settings so you can completely hide the dock icon. Hope you enjoy! ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective *2025-04-09* First saw this app on Threads and must say, my expectations were met. Like the title says, it is an app that does exactly what it is meant to do in a simple, intuitive and effective way. Easy 5 stars and recommendation to friends who also benefit from background sounds/ambient for concentration and productivity. Nice work Dev! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 4/5 — Incredible but one suggestion: MENU BAR + HIDE FROM DOCK! *2025-08-23* I find the sound combinations more pleasing than even paid Noizio. Kudos to this incredible app developer, and thank you for bringing happiness and productivity to many lives with your work, including my own. You’re an awesome person! SUGGESTION: Please add an option for menu bar controls, and the ability to hide it from the dock. Also less of a big deal, but maybe a less-skeuomorphic and more modernized app icon? The icon change is more nitpicking and not urgent, but the menu bar + dock-hiding features would be a game-changer and are the only (minor yet primary) reasons I still prefer Noizio right now. **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! In Blankie 2.0, there is now a menubar icon that opens a popover where you can update your mix and even set a timer. Based on your feedback specifically, I added an option in settings so you can completely hide the dock icon. Hope you enjoy! ### 4/5 — Great start *2025-04-11* Enjoyable and effective, but a there are a few missing features and issues. 1. The menubar item is nice, but it is not clear how open the configuration interface. And the blanket image is incongruous with the rest of the app design. 2. It would be nice to be able to choose whether to use either the dock icon or the menu bar instead of both. 3. A few of the recordings need work. For example, the Coffee Shop has too much low end while the Storm does not have enough. Looking forward to improvements. Thanks. **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestions! Based on your feedback, I re-did some of the mixes for the latest version of Blankie (Blankie 2.0) and the "seam" in most loops should be a lot less noticeable. Also, in Blankie 2.0, you can now import additional sounds if you'd like something else. There is also now a menubar icon that opens a popover where you can update your mix and even set a timer. Because of feedback like yours, I also added an option in settings so you can completely hide the dock icon. Hope you enjoy! ### 5/5 — Best Option *2026-07-04* I love this app and the flexibility of mixing the sounds. Each night I can try something different to see what works the best for me. I enjoy using it to read to as well. Gives the perfect sounds to block out the rest of my surroundings. ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2026-06-25* Very slick and easy to mix together custom soundscapes. And incredibly customizable to make it your own. I can’t believe it’s free! ### 5/5 — Actually free with ZERO ads. Seriously *2026-06-24* Amazed how easy it is to create and save custom sounds. Super elegant, simple interface. I use it during work for mid-day coffee shop vibes, and in the evening to wind down. ### 5/5 — Great in the Car *2026-06-24* Car Play feature seems to be what makes this app really stand out, especially once I realized I didn’t have to pay for any subscriptions anymore. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Coffee Shop *2026-06-24* I’m enjoying the coffee shop sound as I drink my morning coffee at work. I can pretend I work remote, haha. ### 5/5 — Great for all ages! *2026-06-23* My 10 year old niece immediately started playing with the app when I first downloaded it and loved that she could make her own presets! ### 5/5 — Sleek *2025-11-03* Love the look and functionality. Would be nice to be able to incorporate your own sounds. Thanks. **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! In Blankie 2.0 you can now import additional sounds. Hope you enjoy! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-09-23* So happy to have found this app as I also use Blanket on linux ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, effective, great *2025-09-05* I want rain sounds, it makes rain sounds. I don’t want anything else, I don’t have to have anything else. I wish more software was this straightforward. **Developer response:** Thank you! Blankie will never make you listen to things that are not rain sounds! ### 5/5 — Wish I had this for my Undergrad *2025-07-29* Wish I could rate it higher, perfect lightweight solution compared to having several YouTube tabs open --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
