### 3/5 — Good options but needs to be updated

*2020-12-08*

I’ve had this app for a few years and it has some good options for white noise. Unfortunately, the app is has not been updated for the most recent iOS iteration and is no longer functional.

### 1/5 — App no longer works

*2020-11-25*

The app stopped working since the IOS 14.2 software update. Please update this app. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Plays on its own

*2018-11-18*

Horrible app that plays on its own without clicking on the icon.  Just randomly starts playing during meetings even after force closing

### 3/5 — So-so

*2018-08-27*

Not a bad little app. Number of sounds is limited, and the sleep timer sometimes doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Karl1982, we'll investigate the issue you're having with the Sleep Timer feature.

### 4/5 — Could be greater

*2018-03-09*

I love the rain, as a former soldier, I spent most of the time in Iraq. Iraq is a dry dry but extremely place, rain is once a year for 3 minutes at most. I did not appreciate rain before my deployments. I love the sound, the smell and the mood it places you just listening to the falling water. This app puts me in such great place when I’m falling asleep with it on. I sleep better, wake up in a better mood. I think it needs more options in sounds and more free options on the other apps. I get it, y’all are trying to get money for what you make and your time blah blah blah. But do you expect people to pay money for literally “noise”? Eh... I don’t pay for apps in general and well “noise” apps is not on my top list if I ever do buy an app.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate you leaving this review Cangri81! We'll definitely keep this feedback in mind, it really helps us.

### 5/5 — Best background rain sounds

*2018-02-02*

I Love the sound of this rain app. It’s great to surf the web and have this on in the background. However, it always shuts off at some point when hitting certain web pages or running certain apps. Please fix so that it runs consistently. This is the best rain!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review Loganeer, glad to hear you like the app. And, we're investigating this issue!

### 1/5 — Annoying App

*2017-12-28*

Constantly self starts during the day, even after force closing it. Only way to get it to stop is to reboot the phone. Deleting and never again using because I no longer trust an app that starts on its own randomly.

### 1/5 — This is not relaxing!

*2017-11-26*

I totally thought this would be a soothing sound. I’m from the Pacific Northwest and I love the rain!

For some reason this is like heavy heavy rain on a tin roof. All the options are anxiety inducing. 

If you’re looking for a nice nighttime sound, you will not find it in this app :/

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Pulliam. We're from the Northwest too! Sorry to hear that the rain sounds are not relaxing for you. Different people find different sounds relaxing so we're trying to accommodate people with different tastes. If you have any ideas for what types of sounds would be relaxing for you please let us know!

### 4/5 — Nice set of rain sounds but they are missing an important one.

*2017-11-24*

Quality set of rain sounds but they need to add “rain on a tin roof”

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review and suggestion ShanStewart!

### 5/5 — Very relaxing

*2017-08-11*

Love it, it's very relaxing 😴

**Developer response:** Thank you Drojas4!
