Most of the time I use #16. The timer/sleep feature is nice. ### 5/5 — Fan 16 *2020-12-13, version 2.0* Fan #16 knocks me out fast asleep. Only problem is if someone breaks in and kills me, I will never know. Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2020-02-16, version 2.0* I’ve been using this app for a long time and I love #21! Great for travel! ### 5/5 — Must have *2020-02-10, version 2.0* Cannot sleep without this when I travel. ### 5/5 — Excellent sleep aid *2019-07-24* I have been using thus app ( fan #11) for several years now. I originally found it when I was out of town in order to take my board certification exam as a naturopathic doctor. My hotel room was next to the elevator and the incessant noise from that area threatened to keep me awake, which would have made passing the exam more of a struggle. I searched the app store for a fan app and found this one and have been using it nearly every night since! ( and passed the exam with an A 😊) ### 5/5 — White Noise Life Saver *2019-07-19, version 2.0* With this app and a portable Bluetooth speaker, it’s good for the whole family when you’re away from home! ### 5/5 — Perfect for Traveling musician *2019-05-08, version 2.0* Loud people everywhere. I have to sleep with a fan and can’t always bring one in the hotel. This is an amazing tool! But sure what I’d do without it! ### 5/5 — Wonderful App *2019-03-24, version 2.0* Fan 7 on this app has helped me to sleep many times. It’s truly the best white noise I’ve heard! Thanks Relax Fan! ### 5/5 — Helpful *2019-03-17, version 2.0* Really helpful we use it to sleep when we’re away from our air filter. ### 5/5 — Don’t leave home without it!! *2018-12-24* I’ve been sleeping with a fan for over 28 years. I started when I got in the fire department so that we could drown out all the snoring in the dorm. Now both me and my wife can’t do without. On vacation it’s just like having my fan from home. It drowns out her snoring. 😬 ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-11-10, version 2.0* When my fan broke suddenly I knew I would need some noise to sleep. 6 months later I still haven't replaced my electric fan. Yea fan #12!! ### 5/5 — Hotel Must Have *2017-08-19, version 2.0* Saved our sleep from noisy Chicago traffic noise. ### 5/5 — Great! *2017-08-13, version 2.0* Helps drown out my husband snoring. Thank you ### 5/5 — It's been my baby for years to get me to sleep *2017-08-10, version 2.0* :-) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — China based? *2024-02-17, version 2.0* Developer not sharing source so are they monitoring? ### 1/5 — Horrible *2018-12-25, version 2.0* The skip/click noise when the audio recording is looped is so noticeable it actually distracted me further from sleep. I absolutely do not recommend. The loops could have been longer since they failed so miserably getting it to smoothly loop. I’d love a refund since this wasn’t as advertised. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2020-09-27, version 2.0* I used to love this app, I’ve used it for years. Now that iPhone speakers have improved, the app hasn’t kept up. In most of the fan recordings you can here a slight tick or pop when the sound starts over. I guess it’s time to move on... ### 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. ### 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 ### 4/5 — Box fan *2019-12-15, version 2.0* I have to have A box fan no matter where I go- it’s nice to have a good box fan noise available to me with this app ### 4/5 — Soothing sounds *2017-06-27, version 2.0* I like the sounds (#12 and #20), but they have some hiccups when you really listen to them. It's like a record skipping sometimes. ### 4/5 — Super white noise *2017-04-21, version 2.0* We sleep with a fan most nights for white noise, but the vibrations of the actual fan can be annoying and I don't like the draft, These sounds are consistent and great for travel. ### 4/5 — Love it, but *2017-04-09* For me, i only use one of the fan settings, 21, and non of the sound effects. I am sure that the other fan settings would be used by other people. I would prefer the if the sound of the fan would be on a different setting then that of my phones audio like it used to be. That way I can listen to the fan and music at the same time with out one drowning out the other depending on how i am feeling that night. ### 4/5 — The prefect fan app! *2016-11-08, version 2.0* Fan number 12 is my favorite. This is the best app out of all of them. Worth the money because the rest of them just sound like white noise and that sound scares me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Excellent aid for sleeping *2021-12-07* I’ve been using fan option 12 for a couple years now and it has been a great help providing a white noise to help with my sleep. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Good *2021-08-07, version 2.0* It’s good ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2021-07-22, version 2.0* My husband and I use this whenever we are on vacation or not able to be at our house. Helps us to sleep and tune out external noises. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
