## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never works anymotmre

*2023-07-28*

This app never work.Do the developers plan to fix it?

### 1/5 — Phone has to be on and app open

*2022-10-16*

If the screen goes off or you switch apps, the sound stops. Otherwise, the quality of the brown noise is perfect!

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-10-14, version 2.0*

Seems you could figure out the basic stuff!! Why does the app only work when open? Like any other audio app, it should be able to run in the background. Pretty basic.

### 1/5 — Definitely needs work

*2022-09-14*

You cannot switch apps or close your phone and this app continue to play. You would have to keep it open & on this app for continuous play. You also cannot play it on airplane mode. Two things that would help improve this app.

### 1/5 — Would be great if fixed

*2022-09-01, version 2.0*

Only works when screen is active so will flatten a battery very quickly.

### 1/5 — Nope

*2022-07-06, version 2.0*

Sound stops when screen turns off.

### 1/5 — Turns off when you lock your screen

*2022-06-27*

When they fix this issue I’ll reinstall but it’s basically not functional for its purpose.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work if the app isn’t open

*2022-06-19, version 2.0*

It doesn’t work if the app isn’t open

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-04-07, version 1.0*

Opens with ads even before you can test the app

### 1/5 — Junk

*2021-03-31*

Doesn’t do anything but play ads

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — A great app I’ve used for awhile.

*2022-05-27, version 2.0*

The last version update seems to have affected some options which now do not play. Hope this can be fixed asap. I will continue to use this app.

### 4/5 — Great little app

*2023-02-08*

Does way more than I expected for a free app. Nice job. Thanks!!

### 4/5 — Love it! Makes me sleepy

*2022-10-29, version 2.0*

I found you can close the app and keep it playing by using this workaround: press the brown noise selection on the left hand side then  the playlist button, then select your choice (the one that makes me sleepy is the 1 hour super deep brown nose). Then the playlist button again then press play. For some reason this keeps it playing even if you close the app. Took awhile to fiddle around with it. My favorite is to also put this on in the daytime to help with my adhd and get some work done. It somehow helps quieten my internal adhd chatter.

### 2/5 — needs improvement

*2022-06-14, version 2.0*

can only listen to 1, 2, 8 or 10 hours & can’t listen to it with out app open including when phones locked

### 2/5 — Works okay but has one major flaw

*2021-10-29*

I use noise apps to sleep on night shift. This app plays brown noise which is what I like best, BUT, you can not turn off your screen when you go to sleep and your screen stays on the entire time or the sounds turns off, unlike every other app out there. Because of that I am uninstalling. I’m not going to leave my screen on all day while I sleep. I’ll go back to my other app.
