Return to the old model of just tapping "add soundtrack" with an already saved preset of that soundtrack like you used to do it ### 2/5 — Can’t even try *2026-08-03, version 3.21.61* Can’t even test out the apps ability to use your own sounds I barley have enough $ to liv let alone $24,99 payment for something I’m not even sure will work the way I’d like it to. ### 4/5 — why is there no volume button within the app? *2026-07-16, version 3.21.61* also, what is the streaming quality when you cast it to your tv? Because the quality seems quite low. is it 128kbps? super appreciate you not using ai & and just to support you i buy the app because you’re not using ai. ### 5/5 — Absolutely worth your time *2026-06-22, version 3.21.61* One of the best if not THE best of its kind on the App Store. ### 5/5 — Best ambient app *2026-06-17, version 3.21.61* Thanks a lot for this amazing app. The best is the one time fee being affordable and not like all the others who charges monthly or a ridiculous amount. You folks are da best. ### 3/5 — Not 100% sure *2026-06-15, version 3.21.61* I am not a paid patron, but I have been using the old app for years. YEARS. I recently recommend this to someone and I was very confused why I couldn’t find the one like mine. We both downloaded it and I’ve been tinkering around with the new app and a few things. I honestly only use it for the basic white noise and nothing else. 1. After the 14 days are up, what are the 10 free sounds? I can’t find that info anywhere. I hope the basic white noise sound is free. 2. On the old app, there was an arrow to tap to move all the sliders at once with 1 finger. I don’t want to use 2 fingers now. Why make that more complicated? 3. I did read about the old developer leaving and I’m glad you stuck with letting the old app stay “open”, so thank you! I think I’ll stick with the old one instead of the new app. I’m not a big fan of change. ### 5/5 — Concentration Booster *2026-06-09, version 3.21.61* I have used this app for hours every day for years. It really helps me concentrate and block out distracting office sounds. I highly recommend it . ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-06-06, version 3.21.61* Great for hikes and working out , didn’t know I’d need something like this , 5 stars ### 5/5 — 100% qualité *2026-06-05* Une application d’une rare qualité tant au niveau de l’interface que des sons proposés. Véritablement relaxant, la possibilité de mixer les sons afin de créer une ambiance "sur mesure" est vraiment top 👍 Le tout pour un prix vraiment abordable, que demander de plus 😉 ### 5/5 — Incredible *2026-06-02* Small update 6/2/26. Still love this app, but there seems to be a bug that makes my speakers crackle. It only happens with this app. ____________ I don’t understand how anybody cannot give this app five stars. I’ve used it for many years and this most recent iteration is the best. All these remarkable sounds with the graphic equalizer slider to tune it to perfection. This app is amazing and the fact that they don’t bother you with ads and subscriptions is just fantastic. In 2026 with everybody jacking you for every last penny squeezing you for every last cent this is exactly what we need. To the developers – – thank you so much. This app has truly made a positive difference in my life and I am extraordinarily grateful. **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for your touching review and for reporting the issue. Sorry for the inconvenience. An update is being pushed to production. Once Apple will have review it, it should be available. The issue should be fixed. If it's not, please email me at ios@mynoise.net so that we provide you with an alternative until we fix it. Best regards, Rémy ### 5/5 — Most Used App *2026-05-28, version 3.21.54* I use this app in every aspect of my life every day. I am always in awe of the variety of sounds, and the customization is incredible. As someone who deals with a high level of environmental noise sensitivity, this app has been a lifesaver. I have shown it to anyone who will listen to me rant about it! ### 5/5 — Excellent sounds *2026-05-17, version 3.21.48* I’ve been using Calm and a few other apps- all very expensive with only a few sounds from each that I actually use. Found this app while sitting in airport and was blown away by quality of sounds and price! Bought it and look forward to using it when traveling and at home! ### 5/5 — Americadoesntwantme *2026-05-14, version 3.21.48* Five stars ### 5/5 — 4 Stars *2026-05-14, version 3.21.48* It’s a good app, but the server won’t let me connect to it. ### 5/5 — Great job! *2026-05-02* Feedback from a (very) thankful user. Am a long time daily user of the former version of the app and a long time supporter as well. This new version is top notch. Could qualify as prescription medicine 😄! And the one time fee is an absolute bargain. Keep up the great work. NB writing this review whilst listening to Berkshire Waters 🙏 ### 5/5 — This app helped me so much!! *2026-05-01* I had an idea last night. I was laying in bed and my ears were screaming (I have tinnitus). I thought well noise canceling headphones work by meeting the frequency and it reduces incoming noise, why can’t that work for tinitus. So I did some ai digging and it recommended this app. Took me about 45 min but I just laid there with my eyes closed in the dark and played with the sliders and it freaking worked. It was not silent of course but it killed the ringing and I got some amazing sleep ### 5/5 — Definitely better than the rest. *2026-05-01, version 3.21.43* Loving this app so far. The presets, animation, and interesting sound combinations are great. One area it could improve is in categorization. The website has groupings of sounds for various uses. I would love it if the app could include these in future updates. ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2026-04-29, version 3.21.43* This app save my life . It can read minds . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be amazing *2026-07-02, version 3.21.61* The corporate greed is just baffling. This used to be my favorite app- and you know what? Years ago I BOUGHT some of the individual sounds- the standard ones were amazing but I really loved the samples of some of the more unique ones. And I NEVER got a refund after now all those sounds I paid for are just GONE. I’m so angry and upset—now almost nothing is free and you can’t even test the unique new sounds. ### 1/5 — What am I missing?? *2026-05-06, version 3.21.48* I saw this app and love sound scapes and especially love choosing them to my liking. I downloaded the app and there is nothing I can do with it. It has a black screen with big white letters explaining what the app does, but NOTHING to choose or listen to. The black screen and white letters essentially told me there are in app purchases to have access to the complete library. I’d upload a screen shot, but there doesn’t appear to give me access to do that. ### 1/5 — Latest Update Broke the App *2026-02-25, version 3.21.17* Sounds aren’t loading, weird download behavior. Why fix what isn‘t broken? ### 1/5 — Crash issues *2026-02-25, version 3.21.17* After the latest update, the app crashes every time it gets 2-6 hours into playing downloaded white noise (phone on airplane mode). As you can imagine, this has been super disruptive to my sleep. I can not believe I almost signed up for a paid subscription for this app; I am very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Twenty dollar surprise *2026-01-02, version 3.19.4* I liked it. It was easy to calibrate and seemed effective. Then it locked me out and asked for $19.99. No “hey this is a trial.” No “limited number of uses.” Just “Now we want $19.99” I’m out. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-12-12, version 3.19.4* The sounds are basically the same resembling the sea. Boring and not relaxing. And then they want to charge you for it. ### 1/5 — Oh great.. New version to cheat previous paying customers out of what they purchased *2025-11-11, version 3.19.4* BE WARNED I used to love this app until i just noticed they decided to make a 'new' app and then cancel the library of people who previously paid for all access. So, they will likely do that to those who paid for this "new" version. ### 1/5 — PAID BUT DOESN’T WORK! *2025-11-06, version 3.19.4* Purchased Dec ‘24 and used it a few times. Went to use it today and the App won’t even. Tried several times — black screen. Do not pay for this. ### 1/5 — much much worse than the original app *2025-10-19, version 3.19.4* What a shame. I like patrick and the team but this is a shadow compared to the original. Less customisation, harder to download stuff, harder save customisation, auto playing, black look only. No, this is all wrong. Stick with the legacy rather than this downward step. ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2025-10-18, version 3.19.4* This app came highly recommended however when I downloaded it it won’t open past the opening screen. It completely freezes up. I really wanted to try it as I use for white noise and to help with my tinnitus ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best background sounds app *2026-07-27, version 3.21.61* Good range of sounds and sound-shaping tools. ### 5/5 — Incroyable *2026-07-22* Cette app est juste incroyable je l utilise au quotidien ca m’aide a me concentrer au travail et aussi a reduire mes acouphénes, j’utilisais le site mais l’app surtout en mode pro est incroyable ### 5/5 — How this really went. creating soundscapes. *2026-07-22, version 3.21.61* This went pretty great except for one thing. I am so excited and I joined this. Thank you so much. One of the most wonderful things was listening to, but I pray soundscapes and listen to them. Thank you, my noise and thank you collaborators. ### 5/5 — Solid *2026-07-12, version 3.21.61* ItMs actually so good ### 5/5 — The original and the best ambient sound app *2026-07-11, version 3.21.61* Stephane’s work is simply amazing. And MyNoise is the essence of it. Meditate and enjoy ### 5/5 — White Noise *2026-07-09, version 3.21.61* This app helps to not hear my tinnitus at night so that I can sleep. ### 5/5 — Absolutely best app ever *2026-07-04* So I rarely write reviews, but this app is so well worth it. I just love how immersive these soundscapes are. I truly feel like I'm somewhere else. And I love that there's no subscription fee, which barely exists in 2026. Not to mention the amazing fact that I can have the audio playing while I listen to music or any other app's sound playing also. Thank you so much for all you do, and keep up the great work! ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2026-07-02, version 3.21.61* Really high quality white noise generator, even just the free sounds are fantastic. We sleep to the rainstorm one every night, and it’s pleasingly varied and realistic ### 5/5 — Outstanding App, even more after knowing the developers use NO AI for any of the sounds. *2026-06-25, version 3.21.61* I must say that in the beginning I thought this was a too expensive fee to pay for full access, even though its a one off for a lifetime access, though after discovering that the developers actually record all of these sounds without the use of AI I was really impressed. Not just because these days is hard to find genuine works from humans without AI involvement, but also because it’s remarkable the hard work they put in on this. Really hope there’s more Nature Sounds coming up in the future, like the Berkshire one with different birds, or different types of Storms/Thunders. I must say that my favourite feature is the “animate” option, as that literally makes every “play” different within the same theme. Having said that, it would be nice if that feature could be used with “fixed” sliders; for example, one of my favourite ones is the Japanese Garden, so, we can slide down the slider for the “wind chimes” and then select the animate option, which will then animate the remaining sliders randomly, without including the wind chimes, but at the same time, if I push the slider for the “cicadas” all the way up, the animate option should be able to do its magical thing, without moving the cicadas down, so keep it as a “preset”. Thank you again, I will definitely be paying the one off fee as soon as payday comes (I really miss my Birkshire birds)! :D ### 5/5 — All time favorite *2026-06-22, version 3.21.61* I absolutely love this app! I started with the myNoise website which is awesome by the way, and I decided to have it on my phone as well. Both are amazing places to quiet minds. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
