For no ads? ### 3/5 — Timer Defective *2025-04-05, version 1.3* I pushed the button for the timer and set it for 30 minutes but never saw a place to start it. Then I couldn’t get rid of it. Frustrating. ### 5/5 — Finally O didn’t have to pay *2025-03-29, version 1.3* Excellent app. The only one that gives me three noise options and I didn’t have to pay for it.

Now just a click fest. *2026-08-15, version 1.3* They say you have clicked on adult websites and make it difficult to just get to the website to hear the brown noise. Bad people. ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-03-30, version 1.3* every time i open the app i get a ad but other then that it is good ### 1/5 — Ads wake you up *2026-02-22, version 1.3* Ads with loud sounds wake you up in the middle of the night!! ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2025-08-05, version 1.3* How can you call yourself a relax/sleep app that interrupts sleep with an add????!!! ### 1/5 — Annoying ads *2025-06-18, version 1.3* I'd used this app for years but today got an ad for a Zionist, pro-Israel, pro-genocide organization. Deplorable. Deleted. Keep your WW3 & ethnic cleansing cravings off my phone. ### 1/5 — Interruptive ads *2024-04-07, version 1.3* When using this app, full screen advertisements interrupt and block our interactions. ### 1/5 — Concerning… *2023-08-20, version 1.3* I received a notice while using this app that said: “Warning: iCloud is full. Press here to clean up space.” ### 2/5 — Ads Ads Ads *2025-01-25, version 1.3* Constant Ads defeats its purpose. ### 2/5 — In app ads *2025-01-08, version 1.3* The brown noise sound is very good however the in app ads are awful! Nothing but loud noise no matter if the volume is low comes across loud and obnoxious. ### 3/5 — Was great until ads *2026-05-23, version 1.3* I really do enjoy the sound and at first I could play it all night without interruption. Seems like after a month ads pop up and stop it randomly. The ads almost seem like it would be a virus too. The most common one claiming that “72 malicious viruses have been detected on my device” they want you to click on it to continue but it isn’t true. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I was liking this app and then… *2026-01-12, version 1.3* Tonight I’m trying to fall asleep with it per usual, after using this for a month. Now ads keep popping up and stopping the app all together. If it at least kept playing, even if those popped up it might be ok but I’ve had to restart it twice within 20 mins. ### 5/5 — Bntr *2026-01-12, version 1.3* I was so energetic last night then I put this on and fell asleep in a snap ### 5/5 — BEST *2025-09-18, version 1.3* AMAZING. I cut off all my subscriptions to YouTube and music apps so it was really hard to find brown noise to sleep to without adds… I’m SO thankful for this app. SO thankful, in fact, I had to give it a review! I never leave reviews for apps! This one deserves the extra attention ### 5/5 — Perfect and simple Functionality and UI *2025-09-04, version 1.3* Start and run any top noise, my preference is brown. Has a timer. Add support, skippable in 10 seconds. Allowed sleeping during a noisy hotel stay ### 5/5 — Finally! *2025-08-29, version 1.3* Didn’t expect it Great dreams, deep sleep ### 5/5 — Good noise app *2025-08-26, version 1.3* Super simple, straightforward noise app. No loops, which I always notice and which always drive me bananas. Definitely prefer the brown (to pink or white) for sleeping. Sounds like a fan. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2025-07-14, version 1.3* I sleep so much deeper and all through the night! This app is so easy to use! I definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2025-06-21, version 1.3* Free and few adds!! ### 5/5 — Easy Effective *2025-06-05, version 1.3* Very simple. Why would someone pay for something else? ### 5/5 — Exactly what a noise app should be. *2025-05-24, version 1.3* This app is great! Totally free, limited ads, and there is no time limit on how long you can play a noise. A lot of other apps only let you play it for 8 hours, otherwise you have to pay. Still others have a lot of ads that can defeat the purpose of a noise machine app. We use this any time we are traveling or camping. A simply unbeatable app!
