I wanted to reach out to customer service to try to get a refund, but there is not a single way to contact the makers. I’m pretty angry. ### 4/5 — Clock *2026-01-06, version 2.0.1* The time on the lock screen at night disappears for the background of the app ### 1/5 — Unable to turn off terrible!!! *2026-01-02, version 2.0.1* Unable to turn off terrible!!! ### 3/5 — Work needed *2025-12-16, version 2.0* For the price of this app I feel they need to include a way to stop it from auto-starting every time I get in and start up one of my vehicles. It plays over Bluetooth even when I don’t have the app open - very annoying. ### 1/5 — Horrible company *2025-11-26, version 2.0* I signed up for a 7 day trial and the company charged me for a full year at $59.99 which I never agreed to l ### 1/5 — Refuses to close *2025-11-13, version 1.9.9* I really liked this program at first. But it got to where it would not close inside the task manager. Reboot my phone, same thing. Download the newest version update still the same I really like it, but that’s a goner. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-10-19, version 1.9.9* What a rip off! Pay $5 a month for something for free on YT. This is a scam and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone ### 5/5 — the medium brown noise is amazing *2025-10-17, version 1.9.9* I don’t normally write reviews but I looove this app just for the brown noise! If you have a hard time trying to find a noise to sleep to, I would definitely recommend this. Also it plays all night and there’s no annoying ads:-) ### 1/5 — Scam!! *2025-10-14, version 1.9.8* The app’s page advertised 3 free days. I canceled in less than 24 hours and yet they charged me the $59.99 for the year. No one responds when I email. Don’t purchase! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Take away the subscription *2026-03-24, version 2.0.1* There is no reason the free trial alone needs to be only 3 days. ### 1/5 — Not free when demand personal data *2026-03-04, version 2.0.1* App claims to be free then wants invasive personal data so it can monetize you. BTW, it knows who you are by pulling your Apple account associated email. Hard pass! ### 1/5 — Requires sub *2026-02-16, version 2.0.1* Dear Apple, you need to state whether an app requires a sub or not. I’m sick and tired of downloading apps only to find out I gotta pay monthly to use it. No thx. ### 1/5 — Charging after 3 days? *2026-02-13, version 2.0.1* Why would I pay for an app just for brown noise? And then it has a ton of unnecessary info and questions at the beginning ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-02-13, version 2.0.1* Only works for an hour without paying. Makes you answer a HUGE questionnaire to start, which is worthless. Regret wasting my time. ### 1/5 — Bait-N-Switch *2026-02-10, version 2.0.1* Beware of the bait and switch free trial. The default price they will charge you is for the full annual subscription, not the $4.99 monthly price that they flash at you. And should you want to contact the app developer, good luck. It’s almost like they try to rip you off and give you no way to contact them. ### 1/5 — Brown Noise *2026-02-10, version 2.0.1* Be very careful when committing to purchase. I assumed I was purchasing the 7 day trial, don’t understand how but I was charge for the 1 years subscription. Made contact with developer to attempt a refund, was declined, twice! Business must be bad if they’re so intransigent. ### 1/5 — Please Make Questionnaire Optional *2026-02-08, version 2.0.1* I just want brown noise. It’s midnight. I don’t want to fill out some long form about preferences. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE *2026-02-04, version 2.0.1* I did the free 3 day trial and they said it would notify me before charging the yearly fee. They did NOT notify me and charged me 59.99. Use another app ### 1/5 — Misleading information *2026-01-07, version 2.0.1* Charged me almost $70 after 3 days and I never signed up for anything or agreed to a free trial. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good sleep *2026-03-15, version 2.0.1* When I’m having trouble sleeping I put this app on and in at least 7-10 minutes I’m out like a light ### 5/5 — Best sleep sound ever *2026-02-20, version 2.0.1* I’ve never slept better! This is the perfect sound. Not too high pitched. Just perfect. I sleep straight through the night. ### 5/5 — Brown Noise *2026-02-12, version 2.0.1* This is my savior when I travel!! ### 5/5 — Dr eyes *2026-01-27, version 2.0.1* My app was working great but brown noise continues to shut off while I’m trying to sleep even when it’s set for 10 hrs ### 5/5 — The one *2026-01-03, version 2.0.1* Bro this app is so fire even though it says 1 hour it lets you still play it even though your phone is off and this app is so nice and I think that you can do that. Come on make me proud. ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-12-27, version 2.0.1* I feel so at peace when I’m listening to deep blue noise it feels like I’m floating through space ❤️👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Life saver *2025-12-06, version 2.0* I have insomnia and this helps so much!! ### 5/5 — The best app *2025-11-23, version 2.0* This app is the best it helps me fall asleep so fast 🙌 ### 5/5 — Sleep. *2025-11-15, version 1.9.9* This app has got me through nights in the hotel room when I cannot go to bed. Nights at a guests house when I cannot go to bed. I recommend this app to all the moms out there! This is such a good app to have on your smart phone. There are 20 different sounds including Brown noise, white noise, green noise,pink noise, etc. My favourite is the brown noise. If you are looking for a great app to help you sleep, this is the right app. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-11-09, version 1.9.9* Relaxing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
