### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Almost purrfect for falling asleep

*2022-01-20*

“Chicken” sounds just like my favorite black cat from years ago, and it could put me to sleep like his purr did when he would lay right up to my ear…If only it did not have that tick-tick-tick clicking sound repeating every minute or so. That sound keeps me from falling asleep and would be wonderful if it could be edited it out.

### 4/5 — Nice free cat purring app

*2021-10-15, version 2.2.3*

It does what it sounds like! Just repeated loop of cat purring. Nice for a white noise background.

### 4/5 — Sound track

*2021-03-24*

Love the app as the sound is so soothing and reminds me of my beloved Patches, but even though I purchased the HD package I still hear that background noise as the tape goes around. Do hope this issue can be resolved as that would make this app absolutely purrfect !

### 4/5 — Great but...

*2021-02-17*

I use this app at the shelter to comfort the frightened kitties and love it but the extraneous noise that occurs after every ninth purr is a bit irritating. Without it I would have given it five purrs—uh, stars.

### 4/5 — Purr away

*2021-02-13*

The periodic background noise was distracting.  It woke me up when I was hoping to use this app as delightful white noise for a good night’s sleep. 
Could you possibly have someone edit it to remove that? The purring itself is soothing and exactly what I was looking for.

### 3/5 — Purring with an interruption

*2021-01-24, version 2.2.3*

Not constant purring.  
Some noise is interrupting it.

### 4/5 — Love the purrs, needs a timer

*2021-01-05, version 2.2.3*

I would love the option for a timer so I could fall asleep to it.

### 3/5 — Bruit autre

*2020-10-17, version 2.2.3*

Il est domage qu’on entende un autre bruit que du ronronnement à 2 moments, ce qui fait que je me tanne d’entendre la séquence, car le ronronnement est vraiment réconfortant autrement

### 4/5 — Love it, but....

*2020-07-16, version 2.2.3*

I love hearing the purring kitty,  but the recurring click and mic sounds make me switch apps. 😹

### 5/5 — It’s Purrfect.

*2020-06-12, version 2.2.3*

This is exactly what I was looking for.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Super repetitive

*2021-07-30, version 2.2.3*

No good. Same purr track over and over. And you can hear the loop

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-06-04, version 2.2.3*

Won’t load. Wasted my money.

### 1/5 — Du vol

*2020-06-09, version 2.2.3*

J ai payé et ne fonctionne pas

### 1/5 — NOT FOR CATS

*2020-03-16, version 2.2.3*

My new kitten HATED This! He got very stressed & started sniffing & searching my phone & body & cried for a good while after

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

*2024-06-14, version 2.2.3*

Needs a sleep timer

### 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.

### 2/5 — Love it, but…

*2022-11-30, version 2.2.3*

I don’t like that the purr goes from soft to louder. There’s 2 clicking sounds and purr starts over.

### 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🐈😻

### 3/5 — On/off

*2021-04-02, version 2.2.3*

I would have given this 5 star if I could have found on, off buttons 😳

### 3/5 — Wish I loved it more, but.....

*2021-02-07, version 2.2.3*

That "tick" just ruins it for me.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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. 💜

### 5/5 — Raising a kitten

*2023-01-16*

This app puts her right to sleep. I lay her on top of it and between the warmth of the phone and the purring vibrations she’s ready for a nap.

### 5/5 — Thank you!!

*2022-12-30*

I rescued a beautiful cat from my local shelter only to learn that he has a silent purr ☹️ I can  feel the vibration and know he is purring but it’s inaudible. So, when I am really missing hearing kitty purrs, I use this app and get my audible purr fix.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-02-04, version 2.2.3*

Needed an app to make purring sounds so that my cat wasn’t stressed in the car, put her to sleep for an hour so it really helped, thanks to the creators.

### 5/5 — So calming!

*2020-12-08, version 2.2.3*

This app come to my anxiety and allowed me to get a good night’s sleep! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2020-09-10*

I just found this app. Thank you for creating it. There is just something so soothing and relaxing about a cat/kitty purring. I love nature sounds and had been looking for “cat’s purring” recording or app on and off for months. Finally found your app. 

The little hiccup is a little weird and may be bothersome to some. To me it reminds me each cat/kitty has a different purr. And each of their purrs are different. They purr when scared or sick not just happy. They purr to calm and soothe themselves, each other and their humans. Sometimes they have a cold, etc. so the little hiccup didn’t bother me.

I love that we can add a picture of our cat to the app. I also love the black fur background. That said some may not like black fur. Are there plans for different fur options? Not just adding a picture of our cat.
