## What is Marpac Connect?

Give sleep a chance!
 
Marpac's famous noise-reducing, sleep-inducing natural white noise can now be controlled through your iOS device. The Marpac Connect app lets you control your BLE-enabled Dohm Connect sound machine with a few simple commands, all in sleep-friendly "night view."
 
To get started, click the Enable button above. Once installed, the Marpac Connect app lets you turn your sound machine on/off, adjust the volume, and set multiple sleep schedules. (On/off and volume can also be controlled manually on the machine itself.)
 
The Marpac Connect app is able to control multiple units. To do this, you will need to name each Marpac device. These names can be specified in the User Setup and Settings screens.

## Key features

### 4/5 — Abandoned app, great product

*2026-06-03, version 1.0.17*

I love the sound machine and the ability to control the speed remotely, but the app has always been quite terrible. They spent too much time on things that don’t matter, and they just needed to really nail down the speed control and fix the problems like time drifting, DST ignorance, and the way the interface hasn’t been updated for new iphones and the UI gets lost in the margins of new phones. You still sell this thing, update the app!

### 2/5 — Device and app are buggy

*2024-06-07, version 1.0.17*

I always have my Dohm set to 5, but many times when I turn it on, it automatically sets itself to 8-9 and comes on roaring. 

The app is functional but as others have said there is a lot of room for improvement. One very basic thing is that if you get curious and tap the + button (which is for adding another device) there is no way to cancel out of that menu without just force quitting the app. 

I would really love to see Marpac add integration with Siri/Homekit so that I could control my Dohm through voice commands and Shortcuts. This would be a huge value add for my use cases, and given how many other companies have managed to figure out how to do this, it seems like the next logical feature for Marpac. It could be built into the app, so that folks don’t need to go out and buy a new device for this feature, but would mean the device appeals to more people and the R&D would be worth it for the increased sales. Just a thought/wish.

### 1/5 — Barely functional

*2023-09-22, version 1.0.17*

Does not connect about seventy five percent of the time. So it's effectively useless. Just buy a non smart sound machine and avoid the extra $$ spent on this one. 

Sad to see that they've essentially decommissioned this app. I bought the sound machine less than a year ago and I think it's crummy that they still sell it while not supporting functionality with the app.

### 1/5 — Needs an update

*2023-05-23, version 1.0.17*

The app last update was 4yrs ago!! It has bugs! When I open the app it does not show anything. I need to close and reopen. That happens all the time. The schedule sometimes does not work either. It needs an update ASAP! Why do you guys still sell the device that uses this app if it doesn’t have any maintenance?!

### 2/5 — Schedule feature stopped working.

*2022-07-25, version 1.0.17*

App needs a serious update. The schedule feature doesn’t work anymore.

### 2/5 — Much room for improvement

*2022-06-16, version 1.0.17*

While I do appreciate the convenience that is offered through having a schedule that automatically turns the sound machine on and off, I have run into a problem with the limitations presented within this app. I need to have more than one schedule, as my sleep hours differ a little on the weekend, and the app does not currently offer the ability to run two different schedules simultaneously. When I create a schedule for Monday thru Friday, then attempt to create a separate schedule for the weekend, the first schedule is deleted and replaced. 

Secondly, when you accidentally click the option to add a second Marpac device, there is no way to back out of that set-up other than to completely close the app and reopen it. This is poor design and I expected better from this company. Please improve the UX Design of this app and it’s functionality.

### 2/5 — Schedule doesn’t work

*2022-05-21, version 1.0.17*

As a remote control, the app works fine, but the schedules for my two units doesn’t work at all. I’ve reset the schedules a few times. No dice, and scheduling them would be so nice as my kids leave theirs on all the time.

### 2/5 — Drains phone battery

*2021-09-10, version 1.0.17*

Constantly stays connected with the noise machines even while not using the app, drains phone battery very quickly if Bluetooth is not disabled. Would appreciate an option to only connect while app is open.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2020-08-26, version 1.0.17*

Garbage. The sleep schedule randomly changes every day and wakes me up in the middle of the night. Can’t edit the sleep schedule, can’t add new rules, and can’t delete old ones. Had to uninstall. Wish I could give this 0 stars.

### 4/5 — You’ll Be Sorry

*2020-07-26, version 1.0.17*

1. Download the app.
2. Go to the trouble of setting up a super cool. on/off schedule for your white noise maker, complete with volume levels!
3. Wait for it to work and when it doesn’t, go check the app.
4. Every single time, EVERY TIME the app has disconnected from your little machine, and has to be terminated and restarted.
5. Repeat this every day until you’re sorry you paid good money for this thing.

Update: A few things to note here. The support team is VERY responsive and will work with you through issues. Second, I found a workaround for my issue noted above (don’t create overlapping schedule instructions, eve if one ends at 7am and the other starts at the same time). 

Progress is being made. Just consider yourself a beta tester.
