Best app ๐ŸคŒ๐Ÿป

I love it. Thereโ€™s a great selection of noises and getting and staying asleep is so much easier. Especially good with noise-cancelling headphones. Best app Iโ€™ve ever paid for.

Too expensive

Thereโ€™s no world in which a noise app should cost anywhere near this much

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.

Love the ability to create my own mixes

This is a great app for anxiety. It helps keep your environment calm and to your liking. I use it all day every day!

LOVE THIS!!!

Please add more sounds! Iโ€™m obsessed!

So good

So thankful for this app. Helps me immensely with my insomnia

Scam

Ask to subscribe right away, the prompt comes with a dialogue box with no option to close. Annoying!!

Useless app after turning to a subscription only app

Bought this app back in 2020 only to realize that 99% of the noise is locked behind a paywall. Do yourself a favor and just buy a white noise machine so you donโ€™t deal with this type of business model.

Yesss

the gray noise is so amazingggg i got this originally for my ADHD bc thereโ€™s that one beep sound kinda thing that like completely silences your brain but this app didnโ€™t have it :( still love it for white noise though :D

So good

So thankful for this app. Helps me immensely with my insomnia

It will not delete!

I was looking into this app but when I decided to delete it, it has no option to delete.

Beautiful App

This app is great. Its simple, uncluttered interface gives users access to a rich soundscape of soothing audio. Excellent sleep companion and pairs well with deep focus sessions as well. Would love to see an Apple Watch appโ€”being able to use Dark Noise at night without reaching for my iPhone would be a huge benefit to sleep hygiene.

Thank you for your work on this app!

Good app horrible dev support

The app itself is good, good variety of sounds. Developer support is one of the worst Iโ€™ve experienced. Iโ€™m not renewing my subscription

My weird tendencies paid off

So I was just scrolling through settings as any normal person does right when they download an appโ€ฆ
And I come across โ€œUnnamed Goose Modeโ€
It said not to enable it, butโ€ฆ me being me, of course I did.
Changed my life. Immediate five stars. Whoever thought of that, you have my utmost respect.
On another note, the two free app icons are adorable. And way better than the default, I must say. Very skilled artistry!

Solution to really block out all surrounding speech

Using the rain sound with AirPods Pro, noise cancelation on, is incredible for blocking out surrounding people speaking if you are easily distracted. It really helps as I have ADHD but need to spend time focusing on spreadsheets from time to time.

Canโ€™t get your icon off my computer screen

Great sound quality

The quality of the sounds is nice and the mixing ability is fantastic. Good stuff, been using this app for years and years. That said, the $80 lifetime price tag is steep. I understand devs have to eat too but thatโ€™s more than a handmade pure silk pillowcase costs and itโ€™s a similar sleeping-related luxury.
