I can’t sleep without it. There is now a bug that keeps it from staying on continuously. I thought it was a gimmick to try and get me to pay, so I did. But ITS STILL STOPPING AFTER FIVE MINUTES ### 1/5 — Shame *2025-02-19, version 1.3.2* I purchased this long ago and it was always great, one of the best. Now, the greedy developer wants $5.99 a week to use it; many other equal alternative apps out there, some actually better. So, deleted. ### 1/5 — $6 weekly=$312 per year now *2025-02-18, version 1.3.2* Deleted app. Used to be free. Developers got greedy. Now costs $312 per year for total access. 1 fan noise isn’t enough, and the ads are ridiculous. ### 1/5 — DON’T UPDATE IT!! *2025-02-17, version 1.3.2* If you update it you’ll have to buy it 🙄 Very very Disappointing 😔 ### 1/5 — Update ruined everything *2025-02-14, version 1.3.1* Ive been using this app for almost a year now but the sudden update last week made everything cost money or have to view a 1 minute ad to use… I actually tried to pay and it didn’t even work. Horrific. Revert the update please there’s no need to be greedy about FAN NOISES ### 2/5 — Bait and switch - freemium *2025-02-14* This app was great, tons of options and customizability. For someone with tinnitus that struggles to sleep without white noise, this app was a godsend. After using it for several months for free, all of a sudden they want to lock the customization options behind an obscenely high subscription fee. It’s a fan app, not the cure for cancer. Nobody needs a reoccurring payment for a white noise app. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Now a subscription needed *2025-02-14, version 1.3.1* Come on guys, $5.99 a week, I would even have to think about it if it was a .99 cent app. Plenty of alternatives out there that are free. To bad… I liked this one….. DELETE ### 1/5 — App has become trash *2025-02-13* The app used to be good and well worth it. But they have decided the original sales weren’t enough and voided all old sales and now require a weekly subscription for the simplest feature that has not updated in years. Run very far away and show these money grabbers what excess greed gets them. ### 1/5 — Switched to a subscription model *2025-02-12, version 1.3.1* This was a simple no nonsense app. Now they switched to an ad supported, weekly?! subscription model. There are literally dozens of other apps available for free. Or I can pay a one time fee and buy an actual fan that also keeps me cool. The app developer is delusional. ### 4/5 — At 2am in the morning… lol *2025-02-12* Loved the app, till this morning when my dog woke me up to use the bathroom, I went to turn the app back on and to my amazement it is now a paid app. I get it, you have to make money, but I’m sure I could find an alternative. It was fun, good luck. ### 1/5 — Adds *2025-02-12, version 1.3.1* Latest update included adds. Never had them before. Deleted app ### 1/5 — Drop in quality *2025-02-12, version 1.3.1* Used to be good. Now too many ads make it unusable. I don't mind a few ads but this is out of hand ### 1/5 — Use to be great *2025-02-12, version 1.3.1* Now $5.99 per WEEK?! WAS the perfect app till update. They used to help people with sleep problems, now they just want to bleed us dry. Developers, shame on you. ### 2/5 — Ruined *2025-02-11, version 1.3.1* I got this app a couple of weeks ago but as of today everything costs money, I was planning to use this to help me sleep but as I was going to set a timer it just said that I need the pay, but when I pressed the pay button to see the price, it didn’t even work, it just said that an error occurred. Please remove the feature to pay for a timer, the app is ruined now. ### 1/5 — Was great, now ruined with ads *2025-02-11* App was simple and straight forward. Now most of the previously free features are paid. Each “fan” is now locked behind a paid upgrade, again, previously all free. So it’s become a pay for what you had instead of pay for enhanced features. Worst of all it’s subscription based. You’re better off using the iPhones built in white noise in accessibility to settings. ### 1/5 — 5.99 per month *2025-02-11* Are the developers insane? ### 1/5 — Another One Down *2025-02-10, version 1.3.0* They are trying to charge a subscription now, but the link doesn't work anyway. Why would I keep paying for the same individual product over and over again? ### 1/5 — DO NOT UPDATE!!! *2025-02-10, version 1.3.0* Do NOT update your app! This developer just locked everything behind a subscription paywall. Not cool, shame on the developer and shame on Apple for letting devs do stuff like this to their customers. Don’t update your app! ### 1/5 — DONT WASTE YOUR TIME *2025-01-15* Downloading thjs was a waste of my time. I tried to play different fan sounds and none of them actually had sound. The buttons didnt even work 9/10 tje only thing that actually semi did anything was the timer. My fault for trying the app should have noticed the 1 review on it first. WASTE OF YOUR TIME!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug keeps it from staying on *2026-01-10* This used to be my favorite app for falling asleep while traveling. Since the latest update it keeps shutting off within minutes. Last night I had terrible sleep because of it. Please fix this bug and I will update my review! ### 1/5 — Used to love this app *2026-01-01* I have used this app to sleep for a several years. They just did an update a few years ago and now it will shut off after a few minutes. It is the most frustrating thing because you get really used to it for sleeping and to have it not work properly is so annoying. Please fix the issue! ### 1/5 — No sounds even when updated *2025-11-29, version 1.4.0* Doesnt work at all ### 1/5 — DiStUrBinG!! *2025-10-06, version 1.3.4* I used the normal fan on high. About 5 hours into the recording, there was a high pitched chanting while someone whispered creepy unrecognizable words. It was EXTREMELY disturbing! :0 ### 1/5 — flop *2025-06-01, version 1.3.4* charging $5 a week for a noise app that used to be free when we can just get the same noise off spotify is so crazy and greedy ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-04-25* This was one of my favorite apps and I used it all the time to help me sleep. The app was free when I downloaded it over a year ago and I had full access to all content. I recently logged in and 90% of my options now require payment?!? I get one fan choice, which was the fan I normally used but now I can’t set the timer to shut it off after a few hours. That was one of my favorite perks! If they charged a one time price of $5.99 I may have considered purchase because I loved it that much. However, for it start as a free app and then try to charge $5.99 A WEEK is absolutely ridiculous. Sadly, I will be uninstalling this app and will find something else. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2025-03-16, version 1.3.3* I paid for this app back in 2021, and now I see that they have locked features that I paid for behind a subscription model. ### 1/5 — Do NOT update *2025-02-27* This used to be great but now the devs think they're clever by "upgrading" the app, which really means they added a ton of ads you have to click through (if you're lucky) before anything works. Or you can waste money every month or yearly on literally a noise app. It ain't that special of an app. It's definitely not worth spending money on. ### 1/5 — No worth it anymore *2025-02-27, version 1.3.2* This was great but now they want you to pay weekly. It’s a hassle to get the free fan .. no good anymore find another app that’s better ### 1/5 — Garbage app *2025-02-24* I've had this app for over a year. Was great with unobtrusive ads. After a recent update, the fan noise can only be started after playing a video ad. For a week, it required playing one ad. Tried to start it tonight and gave up after it prompted me to watch a fourth one. What a joke. Uninstalled. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PLEASE DOWNLOAD! *2025-02-03* This app is the best. At night, I can’t sleep without a background noise like fan, air conditioner, white noise, etc. When I didn’t have an AC, I used this app and slept like a baby! Plz download 🙏 ### 5/5 — Luv it !! *2024-05-31* So easy to use ….in a world of complications to find something so simple is an amazing discovery ….I always look for simplicity …on, off , timer and great visuals of the fans !! Great job on making life easier and more comforting 👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing app the only one with no trackers *2023-11-28* Thanks for a great app for fan noises to help sleep that doesn’t track info and sell it to other companies. ### 5/5 — best app ever, luv so much *2023-11-22* This app literally keeps me alive at night. It has so many different options of fans and various sizes too. Some of them are like old rusty fans, and others are like big industrial size fans. You can also put a timer on it so the app turns off by itself which is so cool. The only negative 😞 is that it drains down your battery if you leave it on overnight, so make sure to plug in your phone. Anyways, def one of my fav apps that I own and I have even put some of my friends on it since I love it that much. GET IT! 🥰 ### 5/5 — Use the Fan Noise app to protect your Privacy *2023-09-28* Be aware anything you say around abd within an earshot if any smartphone is recording and monitoring or monitoring and streaming out the audio, and I discovered, this, when I was joking with a friend about being a demolition expert, and I opened the indeed app and it had a list of jobs for demolition expert jobs all over the US. This no doubt is using AI and this is the tip of the iceberg. Use a faraday bag from Mos Equipment Mission Darkness that will block all WiFi Bluetooth. ### 5/5 — GET IT! *2023-07-07* This is the best noise app ive ever had in my life I absolutely love the choices! I love that i can decide if i want to imagine myself sleeping next to a industrial fan in a school gymnasium on a crisp 70° summer night! If i’m feeling fancy ill imagine myself in a beautiful sun room just outside the city relaxing with a nice glass of box wine and my children i’m forced to raise because my husband is a deadbeat and won’t be around for them. Why dont you call me jake? Is it too much to ask??? Why are you always out so late? The kids miss you. Your mother is disappointed in you. ### 5/5 — Great For Free! *2023-03-26* This has several different fan sounds without ads for free. They all have good sound quality and, unlike most other fan noise apps, the lo/med/hi button adjusts the speed as well as the volume! ### 5/5 — 😴🧘🏽💤💤💤 I’m a big “fan” of this app!!! Don’t Blow It Off!! No ads!!! *2022-02-02* Yo. I struggle with insomnia. Sometimes I can’t fall asleep and lay in bed as relaxed as I can (“Serenity Now!”) til I f.i.n.a.l.l.y. doze off. Sometimes I fall asleep reasonably “quickly ” (for me, within half an hour if I’m lucky). The worst is falling asleep just fine, and waking up about 3 am, with no more sleep in sight. Got tinnitus? Yep, this white noise helps camouflage that ringing in your ear. 🦻🏻 I seek out white noise apps and have found a very few that remain my “go-to” app for sleep / to reduce outside noise (like loud gas powered lawn leaf blowers). I prefer to listen through my AirPods or my Echo Dot. This fan app has good fan “model types”. With off, low, medium, high speeds. There’s also a sleep timer. Loving it so far, but I’m really picky and chose just 2 that I use as my most-preferred types. I rated this app 5, but really it’s a 4.5 cuz it doesn’t appear to let you “favorite” a certain type, with preferred rpm, speed, and every night sleep timer. Team: Any chance a future version will include this feature?? Your biggest fan, Jojo ### 5/5 — The best I’ve used *2021-12-04* I’ve had a few fan apps over the years, and this has a really nice UI as well as realistic sounds, even the spin up/down sounds and animation. And a good variety of models too. My new sleep buddy! ### 5/5 — Cute, fun, cool. *2021-12-03* This is a simple to use app that lets you select a type of fan and set its speed so you can here the sound. It has a cute but realistic animated image of a fan so you can visualize the fan that you’re working with. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
