### 4/5 — Good Night Light 💡

*2021-12-22*

Just installed this app yesterday. I like this app so much! There is a nice variety of different light colors. It helps to go to sleep. Adding more features would be nice.

### 3/5 — Love it, but...

*2020-06-29*

This app is so amazing and I absolutely love it but there is one problem. I can never sleep in a pitch black room, so this app really helps. The annoying thing about this app is that it doesn’t give you the option to set a timer until the light will turn off. Most apps do have this option and if I fall asleep with the app still on, the battery on my phone will die. Other than that this app is amazing and I totally recommend it to everyone who can’t sleep in a pitch black room.

I hope that you can take my advice about this app and fix it. Maybe once it is fixed, you can earn my 5 star rating.

### 4/5 — Great app! Except for one issue

*2017-12-27*

I think this app is great! Only one complaint I have is the stupid add in the corner that just bothers me. If the creator is reading this, please remove the ads. They're just an inconvenience. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Found on a whim.

*2017-12-22*

I love that the app helps with it not being so dark. Needs more sounds but other then that I love the app.

### 5/5 — Helped after a nightmare

*2017-12-22, version 1.05*

Had a nightmare. Needed something so I wouldn't be scared to go to sleep in the dark. Timer is best part. Set it for an hour and by then I'm asleep. Works at keeping vampires away. No vampire dreams since I've used the app.

### 5/5 — Great feature for travel

*2017-12-22*

Love using this app while traveling or at places I'm unfamiliar with at nights. Great options for different lighting.

### 2/5 — No longer ad-free.

*2017-11-05, version 1.05*

Paid for premium version some time ago to be ad-free, but has reverted to free version with horrible ads all night. No idea how to get it back to ad-free. Why did I bother paying?

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2017-10-24*

Works wonders! Just what I needed at night! Very simple concept and it gets the job done, plus the good thing is it doesn’t take much space.

### 4/5 — Simple but useful

*2017-10-01*

This app provides a lighted screen that is enough illumination that, with my iPhone lying on a flat surface, I can navigate around a dark room at night. And choosing red preserves night vision and doesn’t disturb the sleep cycle as much when I lay down again. It would be perfect if there was a paid option to remove ads and the color selection was persistent. 
Four stars ★★★★☆

### 2/5 — Adware in a nightlight?

*2017-09-15, version 1.02*

Shines a colour or pattern using the screen... What could be more complicated?

Putting Ads on the thing? Yeah that would do it. Don't upgrade if you haven't already.

### 2/5 — Was a good App

*2017-09-14, version 1.05*

Uninstalled due to adware in new version!

Shame as it was an ok app for free.

### 1/5 — No stars

*2023-01-17*

I couldn’t get this app to shut down, no off button, swiping up wouldn’t close it.  I had to restart my phone to get the app closed.  Promptly deleted it afterwards!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-08-30*

I thought I could get different colors my light does not work in the middle of the night i got up and turned the light on and it didn’t go on I kept tapping and tapping and then it glitched and the app went off and now I can not use app

### 1/5 — Update

*2019-12-08*

Needs to be updated so it will work with latest iOS version which is 12.3.3 or 4

### 1/5 — Gave me a virus

*2019-01-06, version 1.05*

Not I can’t uninstall it or uninstall anything else on my phone

### 1/5 — Bad update!

*2018-01-13*

I loved this app, perfect nightlight to wake and feed baby, no ads or noises. Updated and now bright ads appear!! Not happy! Will probably have to delete this now unless I can restore the old versions

### 1/5 — Don't run the update. It ruins the app.

*2017-11-07*

I've been using this app for year simultaneously with my sound machine app. I ran the update and I can no longer use the two apps together. I'll be searching for a new app.

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2017-10-07*

I've been using the app for probably over a year now for when I'm getting up to feed my infant, and it's been great.  But I recently updated and now it has an annoying bright ad constantly in the corner, including when it's in "dark mode" which kinda defeats the purpose??  Also they removed some features with the other modes, so basically everything became worse.  I'm hoping I can restore the old version, but if not I will fully delete this and find something better...something that did what their precious version did.

### 1/5 — Not good anymore

*2017-09-11*

This app worked great and perfect. Ever since the update you get the nightlight for less than a minute and then it goes out. It used to stay on until you shut it off. Now it's useless to me – going to download a new one and delete this one

### 1/5 — This version only adds ads

*2017-09-08*

I deleted the app.

### 1/5 — Needs an update!

*2017-07-28, version 1.02*

It won't work with iOS as it hasn't been updated.  Please update the app.

### 5/5 — This is all you need in a simple night light

*2026-04-07*

Great app! Very simple no frills.  Easily switch between full screen and a smaller rectangle centered on the screen.  Can pick from a variety of colors but I just use the soft white.  Exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — My post drink trick

*2022-09-04*

This app is fAntASTICCCC after a evening of drinking. Turn it on and it makes the room spin less

### 5/5 — This app really work’s

*2021-01-18*

I can sleep in a pitch black room now

### 5/5 — Victor is SCAMMING DONT DOWLOAD!!!!

*2020-11-15*

I myself study in the field of night lights at Harvard University and my fellow scientists studied many types night lights and this one was very bad and poor made. This app seems to have been made by a 2 year old, VICTOR REN is very uneducated in the field of night lights because this one is awful and unsuccessful.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-07-11, version 1.05*

You can change the colour and the brightness!

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple simply perfect

*2019-11-17*

This little app is so simple and it’s perfect for falling asleep. I love the different soothing colors it has.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-05-22, version 1.05*

Love it. If you click on the little i in the corner you can choose nice colours. I’m used to sleeping with a salt rock lamp but it broke so have been using this app. Gives the same nice flow.

### 5/5 — So good

*2018-04-05, version 1.05*

If ur scared off the dark this is a great app to down load if ur scared off the dark and it stays on all night wich is even better,get this now !!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it's supposed to!

*2017-12-22, version 1.05*

App does exactly what it's supposed to...provide a night light and sleepy sounds. No crashes, no bugs, just light and sounds.

### 5/5 — This app helps me sleep so good

*2017-12-22*

Does exactly what I need it to and it keeps my little one very happy. Not really sure what else I can say, but I use this for my little one every night and it works wonderfully.
