I like the ability to blend multiple sounds and save a preset. Minus one star for nagging me for a review every single time I click on my preset to start playing the noise. Rather annoying considering I’m an annual subscriber. ### 3/5 — Everything *2025-04-10* I love how there are so many options thank you all so much ### 2/5 — Shuts down when I close the app to sleep *2024-12-11* Why is this app shutting down? ### 3/5 — Annoying much? *2024-08-05* Love the different types of pink noise. It puts my daughter and I to sleep every night. Love that they’re free as well. What I hate is the annoying pop ups to either pay for the premium or write a review everytime I go to use the app. Lay off! ### 5/5 — The best app *2024-07-18* I listen to it every night and it puts me right to sleep good for people who cannot fall asleep written by Sawyer ### 1/5 — Ruined by move to pricey subscription model *2024-06-09* This was a great app until recent updates (labeled as ”bug fixes” in the version history) moved many of the sounds, and the ability to play in the background/when the phone is locked, behind a $25/yr paywall, without warning. I’d have been happy to pay a few dollars to help the developer out but can’t fathom a subscription model, much less at that price, for a minimalist app that shouldn’t require much updating at all. Feels like a money grab. Uninstalling. ### 4/5 — Noise Sounds *2024-05-18* The variety of color sounds provides something for every need. It’s the only sound app that consistently helps me fall asleep. ### 1/5 — What happened?! *2024-05-17* This app was free and awesome but all of a sudden everything is behind a pay wall. ### 1/5 — Suddenly ALL of my sounds are behind a paywall ! *2024-05-16* Moving in to another app or perhaps an actual noise machine. Putting the noises that I use for sleep behind a paywall with out notice is just wrong! Goodbye!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incessant rate request *2026-06-04* The app is actually very good and I actually enjoy it. However cannot overlook or forgive the incessant harassment to rate the app. So here we are. ### 1/5 — Exhausting App *2026-05-05, version 1.1.1* Barrage of mostly mandatory questions before even being able to use app. Then, you have to pay $59.99 a year to use after 3 day trial? And mandatory response popup each time saying either you’ll give feedback, or that you’ll do it next time. Well, here’s your feedback: 1 star, and app experience so far barely deserves even that. ### 1/5 — Constantly pauses *2026-02-22, version 1.1.1* I paid for the premium version of this but it constantly pauses. I wake up when it turns off and last night It was 5 times. Even though I’ve paid for it I can’t imagine I’ll continue to use it. ### 1/5 — Please provide refund *2025-12-25, version 1.1.1* Please contact me or post where the team can be contacted , I was charged when it said I had a free trial ### 1/5 — $24.99 charged no response *2025-05-24, version 1.1.1* Avoid! No Customer Service Response. This app is $24.99. When downloaded it stated a trial period. I cancelled at 7 days but was charged for 1yr. There’s been zero response from the developer to my inquiries. Even worse - The app did not work for me. I tried numerous combinations. My rest was worse (lots of dreaming) with Pink or Brown noise. ### 1/5 — Scam renewal *2025-05-17, version 1.1.1* I purchased this app in large part because it assured me I would be notified before free trial ended (3 short days!) I was not, or missed it and then was charged, now have to dispute with cc company.mi hate these practices so much ### 1/5 — Time wasted *2025-04-21* You answer a ton of questions then get “try 3 days for free“ and you know what that means. ### 1/5 — Accidentally subscribed to trial too long *2025-02-25, version 1.1.0* Ignoring my request for a refund. ### 1/5 — Did not increase deep sleep *2024-11-24, version 1.1.0* Now I can’t figure out how to get a refund. ### 1/5 — $24.99 charged no response *2024-08-10* This app is $24.99. When downloaded it stated a trial period which I thought was 14 days. I cancelled around 7 but Apple had already charged and I can’t find anything stating the trial period. There’s zero response from the developer to my inquiries. The app did not work for me. I tried a lot of combinations. I did not get rest (lots of dreaming) with Pink or Brown noise. Basic rain sounds was more effective. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great!! *2026-06-16, version 1.1.1* Awesome sleep ### 5/5 — Pink Noise generator *2026-05-31* It works so good.

There are many sounds to pick from and over all is one of the best apps for drowning out background noise. :) ### 5/5 — No need to buy stand alone *2025-05-22* Does more than 4 $100 machines ### 5/5 — Won’t let you cancel *2025-05-11, version 1.1.1* Auto billed me for the whole year when I couldn’t find the area to cancel on the day before my due date to pay. No support no place to contact them to get help ### 5/5 — Pink noise generator *2024-10-22, version 1.0.4* Generator ### 5/5 — fav *2024-07-18, version 1.0.4* this app has helped me sleep everynight ! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
