Prevents closure

The app requires a subscription upon launch. When I tried to close the window, the app refused to close, and I was only able to do so through the System Monitor.

Not a free app

This app is listed as free when you filter in the App Store for free apps. It is not. Upon opening the app, you are immediately trapped in a "choose your paid plan" step and you have to force quit the app to close it.

Free Plan is Useless

If I give them money I might find this useful. As is, in the test it for free version before handing over credit info, it is useless. What I can see suggests that if I did pay up I would need to spend time figuring out on my own what sounds to use and how to configure them for a specific goal. AI told me to junk this app and just to use the built in background sounds in the iPhone and layer over that a soundscape like ocean waves. That seems easier and less frustrating.
