Great app, thank you! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2016-07-27, version 1.1.1* I use this every night and it hasn't let me down yet. ### 4/5 — A nice simple app to aid sleep *2016-07-27* The graphics shown with each sound make this app different from alternatives I've tried and do work as a night light whilst being nice to look at. I like the idea that the app listens for the baby waking and restarts the sound. ### 4/5 — Awesome *2016-07-25* App looks good and using it helps a lot. Try it yourself. ### 5/5 — Great *2016-07-22, version 1.1.1* Interesting sounds and helps a lot ### 5/5 — Love it, but please change the swipe function *2016-07-17, version 1.1.1* This is great, really settles my baby. I love that you can still use your phone as it plays in the background. However the swipe function is too easy to knock and it changes the white noise, which can cause the baby to become unsettled again. So a lock button or different way to select the sounds would be better. But still I love this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2016-07-03, version 1.1.0* Great idea and design! 🏆😄👏🏻😺 ### 5/5 — Good idea! *2016-07-02, version 1.1.0* Sure will try tonight :) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2016-11-15* I was very disappointed with this app. It looked promising, but then when I wanted to change the time for how long the sounds and the "realistic" picture were going to last, it denied me and told me I had to pay. No thanks. I can get better night light apps that don't make me pay for however long I want the light on. 0/10 would get again ### 1/5 — Not impressed *2016-10-16* If you say something is free then make it free. ### 2/5 — It's okay *2017-01-19* Sound options are decent but the pictures with each sound are awful. It also drains my iPad battery very quickly and I hate that I can't set it for 30 minutes and have my screen shut down after it's done. ### 2/5 — aPurpleDerp *2017-01-04* I really liked this app until it made my phone bug out, requesting to buy it in the full version every 5 sec, very disappointing. ### 3/5 — One problem *2016-06-06* It's an overall good app that i like to use. Thing is j used the in-app purchase of $1.99 for the full version and never got any of the features unlocked. So i lost out on $1.99 which really upset me since i was really looking forward to this app since it works so well. Got in contact with developer so hopefully i can either get refunded or they give find a way to unlock it. ### 4/5 — Good app *2017-06-03* Nice app ### 4/5 — Nice sounds *2017-01-11* All sounds are high quality. Animations are also good! 30 sec may be too short...though. ### 4/5 — A good app *2016-11-29* A neat small app to help you calm down. ### 4/5 — I'm a white noise snob *2016-09-11* :) I've become a snob about these things, having sampled so many of the apps out there, and working in recording studios... I really appreciate the way this app's full version (in-app purchase) combines sensitivity settings for indications that a baby is upset and in need of soothing. The description and screenshots suggest that it's suited to babies AND adults. However, the audio includes a (mother's) heartbeat, which is clearly targeted at babies — and doesn't offer any other masking audio options such as would be suitable for adults. ### 4/5 — Works every time *2016-08-06, version 1.1.1* App on original womb type soothing sounds works every time for our daughter, even if she wakes raging eg with teething pain. Also works every time with friends little boy :-) 🤕‼️**wish developers would enable the app to run in the background; if you attempt to perform any other function on your phone then the app instantly stops! This makes it useless when baby's poorly and I need to use google for NHS Symptom Checker, or Notes to record her temperature etc.**‼️🤕 Would be a 5 star review if this were fixed?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cute app *2017-01-26* Great sounds, so relaxing. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — My favourite *2017-01-25* A really nice sleep aid for kids, smooth sounds ### 5/5 — Cool *2017-01-25, version 1.1.3* Excellent, You should give it a try. ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2017-01-25* I used many similar apps but the audio and images provided in this app are really very soothing and relaxing. You just gotta download and try it for yourself. ### 5/5 — Soothing sleep app 😴 *2017-01-24* Nice sounds to put anyone to sleep- not just the kiddies! I like how you can set it to keep playing even after closing the app. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-01-17* This app is awesome! I used to toss and turn before falling asleep, and now with this gentle sound I find it way easier to rest. I totally recommend it ### 5/5 — Good idea *2016-09-30* Very good idea, love the sounds, waiting for new ones, well done ### 5/5 — High quality stereo background sounds *2016-09-23* This app features 6 high quality stereo sounds that loop. For each sound there is an animated visual on the screen. The sounds can be changed by swiping the visual left and right. Simple user interface and high quality sounds is all I need for such an app. Job well done! ### 5/5 — Lovely! *2016-09-23* Love the sounds and the graphics! Well Done ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2016-09-20, version 1.1.2* Found it very interesting. Great job done. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
