### 5/5 — PLEASE FIX BROWN NOISE

*2026-06-19, version 2.3*

I have been using this app for so many years every night. Last night brown noise started to have this popping noise ever 10-15 seconds. Please fix this

### 5/5 — 7 years of experience

*2026-06-13, version 2.3*

I love this app it's free for a lot of sounds been sleeping to big waterfall for 7 years now it is so underrated when you go to advanced apps they make you pay for more sounds but this doesn't you have about 10 noises that are free and the others are pay for but I bought them not to use them to show that I care for this app.

### 5/5 — Using for 14 years

*2026-01-17, version 2.3*

I’m pretty sure I’ve been using this app for at least 15 years. It’s the only app where the rain sound sounds the most like the Homedics SoundSleep White Noise Machine.

### 5/5 — the goat

*2025-10-10, version 2.3*

prehaps the greatest app of all time. simple, free, hasn’t had an update in 10 years and works every time :)

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-07-06, version 2.3*

I love this app it is free and amazing

### 5/5 — Using for 14 years

*2024-10-07, version 2.3*

I’m pretty sure I’ve been using this app for at least 15 years. It’s the only one I’ve used with my four kids whenever my physical noisemaker isn’t available or when I travel.

### 5/5 — This app is amazing

*2024-04-16*

I love this app it's free for a lot of sounds been sleeping to big waterfall for 9 years now it is so underrated when you go to advanced apps they make you pay for more sounds but this doesn't you have about 10 noises that are free and the others are pay for but I bought them not to use them to show that I care for this app.

### 5/5 — I’m the first review in a year

*2023-09-04, version 2.3*

This app has a special place in my heart, althought not the greatest compared to others, it’s simple and plays noise and that’s all you need. There is no monthly or weekly membership for white noise. It’s just an option 3 bucks for some other stuff, and plenty of free features. Used it for quite some time. Love you guys :)

### 5/5 — Decade User

*2023-01-23, version 2.3*

I’ve used this app for over a decade now. 
To help me sleep and take my mind off my anxiety. I’m a light sleeper so I listen to this with headphones or without. I use it on planes, I use it to drown out people talking or snoring. I’ve used it in hostels and meditating. 
I couldn’t live without this app.

### 5/5 — 6+ years of use

*2022-01-06, version 2.3*

I have fallen asleep to ocean surf sound pretty much every night since 2015. Was just thinking about how I’ve gotten so much use out of something that I didn’t pay anything for. Paid $2.99 today to unlock all the other tracks. I’ll never use them for anything, just wanted to give a few bucks towards something that I feel deserves it.
