### 2/5 — App version

*2026-05-16, version 1.1.4*

Limited choices compared to desktop version. Should be able to do a mixed timer, combo, shuffle playlist- so you don’t get bored. Should be able to upgrade so that you can access more features. It feels like İ’m only getting half of the free stuff on the app with no upgrade option. These limitations should be highlighted before people decide whether they should purchase it at 1.99. Bit ambiguous and lacks clarity on this matter

### 3/5 — 还有很多可以改进的地方

*2025-12-10*

只有16种声音，然后声音播放的时候还不能播放音乐等等。界面颜色也是随机变化的，app里也没有意见反馈渠道，希望可以改进

### 4/5 — Okay

*2025-09-02, version 1.1.4*

I used this layered over the sounds of the Rain Rain app and together these two block out all sound while I sleep. I think this app could benefit from more sounds. I’d really like to see the library extended. The sounds they do have do a good job of masking for the most part, but with more sound options it would be more effective

### 2/5 — Zum schlafen isses Nix :/

*2025-08-06*

Leider sind hier die Sound alle zu hektisch zum einschlafen. Man sollte die Geschwindigkeit ebenfalls einstellen können …

### 3/5 — Schade drum

*2025-06-26*

Obwohl ich die anderen Rezensionen gelesen habe, bin ich überrascht wie unzeitgemäß diese App ist. Die App wirkt, als wäre sie von einem Informatik-Erstsemester entwickelt worden. Die Farben wechseln und sind nicht fest wählbar, was je nach Grundstimmung kontraproduktiv ist, die Proportionen sind - zumindest bei einem iPhone 15 Pro Max - absolut unstimmig, die Wiedergabe ist nicht über den Sperrbildschirm steuerbar (lauter, leiser, stumm, stoppen). Schade.

### 3/5 — Please update

*2024-06-06, version 1.1.4*

Please update to be fully supported my latest devices

### 2/5 — Unimpressed

*2024-01-26, version 1.1.4*

For an app I paid for, I expected a lot more sound options. The brightly colored background is jarring , I would prefer a dark mode. I don’t think I’ll use the app much.

### 5/5 — BEST SLEEP/STUDY APP EVER!!

*2023-09-20, version 1.1.4*

I’ve had this app for such a long time now i cant remember when i found out about it. I have it on my phone my computer and its a must. I must say that the developers did a very good job props to you!!!

### 4/5 — No Developer Support

*2023-06-25, version 1.1.4*

Paid for the premium approx. five years ago - logged in today and there aren’t any new sounds or features :(

No ads or interruptions, I love that. 

The app was last updated six years ago in 2017. Hope the developer’s okay.

### 3/5 — Good but Old

*2023-05-11, version 1.1.4*

New user of Noisli. I think this app has great use, sounds are good, simple design (which not a lot of sleep sound apps have a clean design). The only thing is that I wish they would update the platform. It does not fit the newer models of iPhones. I hope they update this.

### 5/5 — Add “brown “ noise”. 🙏🏽

*2023-03-30, version 1.1.4*

Love the app…..👍

Please add “brown “ noise.”

Thanks

### 5/5 — No tricks. It’s just … peaceful.

*2023-03-29, version 1.1.4*

I love this app. I leave reviews all the time. Good, bad, indifferent and most of the bad reviews revolve around the app not living up to what it promised or, hidden fees. 

 There are some sound elements that could be enhanced, but that doesn’t throw a speck of dust on the fact that Noisli is simple, easy to use and surprisingly spontaneously awesome. It’s playing in the background as I write this review. 

To the Devs: Thank you!

Future Update Suggestions: please improve the ocean sounds / the ocean seems frenetic and it is anything but frenetic. Good ocean = 😍

### 5/5 — Great

*2023-02-01, version 1.1.4*

Love this app, perfect for relaxation or focus. Thank you for providing this free!

### 1/5 — Stopped working-Sleepless in Seattle

*2026-03-16, version 1.1.4*

Irritating app. Only worked for a few nights. I can’t even get it. to play any sounds. Aggravating!  It’s a dead duck in the water. Complete waste of time and money.

### 1/5 — Cannot set timer!

*2025-03-15, version 1.1.4*

Sounds are too soft
Want a refund!!!

### 1/5 — Scam, don’t pay

*2024-11-24, version 1.1.4*

Total scam! Paid for the Pro plan, but it’s worse than the free version. They denied the problem and refused a refund. Save your money!

### 1/5 — Won’t output sound to another device such as an Apple HomePod

*2024-11-11, version 1.1.4*

App seems ok- provided you only want the sound from your phone. If you want to send it to something like a HomePod there isn’t an obvious way to do so in the app, and it doesn’t work by holding the phone near the device to transfer the sound. Wasted $1.99.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-01-06, version 1.1.4*

I have to delete the app EVERY EVENING and re-download it in order for it to work.

### 1/5 — Not worth the purchase

*2023-11-19*

I love Noisli on their website so i bought the app for my ipad but it doesn't play in the background as stated and not all the sounds are available in the app. I'm very disappointed.

### 1/5 — N’achetez pas cette application !

*2023-09-12*

Je regrette mon achat… Le site est bien mieux et gratuit ! Il manque le mélange aléatoire des sons et l’interface est à peine travaillée par rapport au site. Pourquoi faire payer 1,99€ une application qui n’a pas l’air fini ? En plus elle existe depuis 6 ans. Je ne recommande pas du tout. Un conseil : restez sur le site. Ne payez pas 2€ pour quelque chose de médiocre

### 1/5 — App parece que foi abandonado

*2022-06-19*

N tem novas atualizações, n adicionam nada novo, nem atualizaram para a versão dos iphones mais recentes porém tirando isso os recursos presentes são OK tipo pela falta de atualização e melhorias acho que ta ok

### 1/5 — Hardly any sounds compared to website

*2021-08-02, version 1.1.4*

Purchased the app expecting access to sounds similar to the website but it’s just the free ones - so why is this £2?

Also not updated in four years - my fault I guess for not looking before purchasing but either way - seems this should be updated or just removed from the store?

### 1/5 — App crashes on launch every time

*2021-04-14, version 1.1.4*

What a bummer. This app just crashes on launch every time.

### 5/5 — Holy Grail

*2026-05-24, version 1.1.4*

Layered sounds to stay asleep … no need for WiFi or cell connection when in a pinch. I love this app so much.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-05-24, version 1.1.4*

I got this app free through Starbucks so many years ago and have used it religiously since. I love that we can make our own white noise sound mixes!

### 5/5 — Can’t sleep without! ⛈️

*2025-10-17, version 1.1.4*

I got this app years ago maybe over a decade ago through Starbucks when they used to sponsor Apps in little business cards with a code. Over a decade later I still use it every single night before I go to sleep. My most used and most loved app I’ve ever had. The interface still looks sleek and very modern for how old this app is. Couldn’t recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Love love love

*2025-06-24, version 1.1.4*

I love Noisli. I’ve used it for years. The ability to make my own ambient sound track is amazing. My favorite tracks are “Outdoor Cafes” for day (birds and a breeze) and night (cicadas and a fire). <3

### 5/5 — Excellent peace machine

*2025-04-27, version 1.1.4*

I’ve discovered this app as an online thing first, and was using it before installing it on my phone and iPad. I believe this is the original, and it’s still the best. The loops are long and not recognisable (not easily) and the sounds are first class. Buy with confidence.

### 5/5 — Love the simplicity

*2025-03-11, version 1.1.4*

Love the simplicity of this app and the way yycanl layer sounds in. The sound choices are excellent and each one has just the right balance of sounding like blurry white noise and distinctive sounds. I love the changing color background. Also love that there's a fade out timer.

### 5/5 — So simple and helpful!

*2024-12-14, version 1.1.4*

I love this app! So easy to use and customizable. It’s amazing. Just want to ask.. please add AirPlay, that would be so nice!

### 5/5 — Tolle Geräusche

*2024-06-23*

Ich nutze die App schon seit Jahren und teste auch immer wieder andere Geräuscheapps. Aber ich komme immer wieder zu Noisli zurück. Mir gefällt, dass ich die einzelnen Geräusche dazuschalten oder abstellen kann und einzeln die Lautstärke festlegen kann. Toll.

### 5/5 — How to sign up for the pro membership?

*2024-04-10, version 1.1.4*

I love this app and use it all the time, however I can’t find an option to upgrade to the pro membership for more sounds within the app.

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2024-04-02, version 1.1.4*

I am so grateful for this app. The fact that it is ad free and so simple to use is such a breathe of fresh air. I love making sound combos. Noisli allows you to become a soundscaper. I can transport myself to the autumn sounds near my childhood home, camping, or a laying around in a hot apartment with a loved one with a few simple taps. Thank you Noisli for bringing me better sleep and endless nostalgia!
