### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-01-18, version 2.2.3*

My poor black cat can’t purr. I can feel him (Sir Peach Phuz) vibrate but there’s no sound. I put his picture on here and love it. Now I just wish I could send it, pic and sound, to friends and family.

### 5/5 — Love that this exists

*2024-12-15*

Grateful that the developer thought to create a simple app with three different types of cat purring sounds. I love how simple it is to start and stop and how simple it is to choose one if the three sounds. I wouldn’t mind a few more varieties in purring sounds, maybe one with an old cat or a kitten etc. If there’s a way to increase or decrease the “speed” of purring, that too would be great (you could even have two paws on the screen, one to increase and one to decrease the speed). Such a soothing straightforward app, I recently lost a kitty to old age and this was so very helpful.

### 4/5 — Love it, short loop.

*2024-08-12, version 2.2.3*

Love it, but it’s obviously just a 15 second or shorter loop.

### 5/5 — Very relaxing

*2024-06-29, version 2.2.3*

Makes my cats purr along 😹

### 5/5 — Sounds like a cat is on my lap

*2024-06-18*

I like this app because it plays while I use my phone for other activities. It sounds an awful lot like my daughter’s cat who purrs like this with just a bit of congestion. The slight pause lets me know it is cycling through again. It helps me relax and sleep better than other supposedly white noises.

### 3/5 — Love it!

*2024-06-17, version 2.2.3*

This app is oddly very nice! My favorite trait of this app is how you can play the sounds while playing on another app like Spotify! What I don’t like about this app is how it plays the same audio and if you would like any other ones you have to pay! Overall, love the app🐈😻

### 2/5 — Sounds fine but needs a timer.

*2024-06-14, version 2.2.3*

Needs a sleep timer

### 5/5 — Helps anxious kittens!

*2024-06-07*

This app is so sweet! I use it a lot when I am socializing feral kittens. It soothes them so much. My feral babies love Chicken’s purr best. 💜

### 2/5 — Looped recording

*2024-06-06*

This seems to be around a 15 second low quality recording that continuously loops. There’s a very noticeable sound when the recording starts/ends. Would have been great if it was edited better.

### 4/5 — Almost Purr-fect

*2023-09-01*

I love this app. I wish it didn’t have the clicking sound part of the way through. Takes you out of the zone. Other than that it’s very soothing.
