### 1/5 — China based?

*2024-02-17, version 2.0*

Developer not sharing source so are they monitoring?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2023-02-18, version 2.0*

I can’t sleep without white noise and this app is wonderful, especially for traveling.

### 5/5 — Great option

*2023-02-11*

I am a high maintenance sleeper and need the sound of a fan to relax and fall asleep. This app has been a great option to use when I’m traveling or if my real fan starts acting up. I only select the fan that sounds the most like white noise, so I guess could also just use a white noise app…but the fans are more fun :)

### 5/5 — Great for trips

*2023-01-15, version 2.0*

I always use this app for white noise while sleeping on vacations! It’s great & love all the fan choices!

### 4/5 — Great app

*2022-12-23*

I have tinnitus and need constant background noise to drown out the ringing. I’m also one of those people who can’t sleep without a fan. Bringing a fan on vacation is not always feasible but this app does the trick.  
I’ve recently learned about the difference between white, pink, & brown noise. I’m hoping they add a fan in the future for brown noise, but even if they don’t, I’ll keep using it.

### 5/5 — White Noise

*2022-12-17*

I’ve always slept with a fan on for the white noise because I’m a light sleeper and insomniac, and if I wake up it’s hard to get back to sleep. I was traveling and didn’t even think to bring a small fan for the hotel and joked about there being an app for that. I like this app especially for those times. It has many options for what people might be used to hearing and has saved me from many restless nights.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-10-20*

I’ve always slept with a fan on. When I was unable to have a fan I found this app and love it. I scrolled through until I found the fan I like, and use it every night. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Great app and variety

*2022-02-10*

When I was first married, 33 years ago, my wife slept with a fan to drown out noise. I quickly got used to the comfort that this gave us. Now as we travel we have come to depend this app to replicate the fan we have at home. This has given us many a good night sleep on the road

### 5/5 — I sleep!

*2021-12-28, version 2.0*

I have been using this app for years and it is awesome!!  I love that is has all sorts of ambient sounds. I need a fan to help cover any air leak sounds from my C-Pap machine and it does exactly that. Love it!!

### 5/5 — Excellent for ambience

*2021-12-13, version 2.0*

When you are traveling and can’t take your home fan with you, this app sure comes in handy.
