It has really great sounds, the quality is wonderful and it’s super easy to use. I would like to have some more natural sound choices: Sea (whales, dolphins, seals) Farm animals (cows, chickens, sheep), Serengeti (lions, elephants, running antelope, monkeys ) Also calming instrumentals: Harp Violin These types are the only ones that are missing. I’m sure I’m not the only ones that would enjoy these additions. ### 4/5 — ***Very relaxing and the best part free *** *2020-12-19, version 5* I would’ve gave this review five stars however I took one star away because it would be perfect if we could save the sounds or a playlist we created ourselves. Other than that, I love this app! ### 3/5 — I can’t find... *2020-10-23, version 5* ...any controls. ### 4/5 — It’s good ....not great *2020-09-22, version 5* It’s a decent app for what it is wish there were a few more options like saving or marking my faves and I could hear and noticed the sounds looping. All in all I would recommend it at least to see if it works for you. ### 5/5 — Still getting used to it. *2020-08-02, version 3* I take medication that interferes with my having a good nights sleep! I tend to enjoy the natural sounds rather than city, but then I live in a less populated area now Years ago I would have appreciated the city sounds when I first moved from NYC. IVE ONLY USED IT A FEW TIMES but I can see where it helps you center your thoughts. And after a bit I’m picturing the place or thing the sound is imitating. And it has a timer. Great for naps. ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-07-10, version 3* Unlike other meditation apps this one does not have a trial 🤗 I love it for my kids so they won’t pay money to have sounds they want thank you for the the new and improved app ### 5/5 — Soothing.... *2020-07-04* I love hearing pleasant, and soft sounding relaxing music! Your app is just what the doctor ordered, puts me right to sleep!! Thank you ever so much!! Anita Sanino **Developer response:** Thank u for good comment:) we love u, pls don’t forget share our app 🥰 ### 5/5 — So good *2020-05-27, version 1.0* I love this app it is so calm if you have stress I love it 💟💟 ### 5/5 — Sounds *2019-10-25, version 1.0* It really works. THANKS army man ### 5/5 — It helps *2019-10-16, version 1.0* It helps me 😴 **Developer response:** It’s great 💤 please share our app 🎁 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Mixing with other apps *2025-07-07, version 8.3* This use to be a great app because it could blend with other apps but now that feature has been taken away , can you all please bring that feature back ### 1/5 — Love the app *2025-04-04, version 8* Just tried to open the app and the screen is en. I see that you have updated to ad AI. I deleted and downloaded it again and still frozen ### 1/5 — Crashes immediately *2021-05-03, version 5* I haven’t heard Sound 1 in this app; just downloaded it on a newer iPod and it crashed 4 times, at the title screen and while I was trying to browse categories. ### 1/5 — Not city *2020-12-12, version 5* When you have a series of City sounds...not for me ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-09-10, version 4* I almost bought into this app and then I see a picture of them telling us to wear a mask. I’m a PhD in physiology and I understand this virus better than this company does. When one in every 19 million people between the ages of 50-65 die from this virus. Let me repeat that I’m not talking about young people I’m talking about middle-age 50 to 65 years old only one in 19 million people die from this virus. Do you have companies like this one telling us to wear a mask and I have no idea what they’re talking about. This virus is not nearest bad as people thought it would be and I am a scientist plus a clinical Anesthetist. I will debate anybody any time on this virus. before you make comments that you know nothing about think it through. I’m sick of political talking points being stuck in my face when I know the truth. I will not recommend this app to anybody. ### 1/5 — This app is definitely a lie *2020-04-05, version 1.0* Well I got tricked into thinking that there were more sounds Nope u only get nine sounds that are it so yeah highly disappointed ### 1/5 — Cycles in and out *2020-02-13, version 1.0* Incredibly annoying since the sound fades and then restarts again and again instead of being a continuous sound for the duration one chooses. Very disruptive. Useless for relaxing. ### 2/5 — Good *2021-05-03, version 5* Good but glitches me out of the app every time I have to scroll down! And there are way to many ads!!😡please FIX THIS! ### 2/5 — Sounds fade out *2020-02-29* Its a shame many of the sounds seem to just fade out then fade back in instead of looping. White noise and brown noise are perfect for blocking out background noise but with the way they are looped here they are unusable sadly. **Developer response:** I have good news for u :) All sounds changed to new without fade out version. Please update now 🥳 ### 3/5 — I like it-works well *2025-07-27, version 8.3* This app used to be better until I had to redownload on my new phone. Where is the “rain on window” under the rain category and why can’t I use the timer?? I always could use the timer even when I didn’t pay for the app and even now that I do pay for the app, I can’t use the timer?! Why? And if we choose to pay for the app I think it should unlock other features such as different sounds in each category and especially more frequencies. That would be great. There are some specific frequencies for full body healing I’d love to see on here. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super *2025-11-30, version 8.4* Super ### 5/5 — Love the app *2024-08-07* Live the fact that I can open other apps that include sound and this will play in the background. Very disaoooined that game ads have been added to the app. There have always been short ads when opening the app but these are much longer **Developer response:** Hello; thank you for your nice comment ❤️ I want you to know that I don't choose ads and their duration, but if you make even the smallest donation, you can get rid of ads forever 😳😍 ### 5/5 — Bedava *2023-06-23, version 7.3* Hem ücretsiz, hem de sadece tek reklam gösteriyorlar. Diğer uygulamalar gibi aylık üyelik tuzağı da yok, birden fazla ses ekleyip istenilen sesin yüksekliği de değiştirilebiliyor. Bunların yanında zamanlayıcı kurulup arkaplanda da çalışabiliyor ve uygulamayı kapatıp açınca yine aynı liste yüklü geliyor. Daha ne yapılabilir ki ??? Harika ### 5/5 — This is a amazing app *2021-11-14, version 7.2* This app is AMAZING it’s so soothing and really helps with stress. ### 5/5 — The music doesn’t work *2021-11-09, version 7* We love this app when it works. In the last month or so the app doesn’t play anything. I have to delete it and then reinstall it and even that only works sometimes. If it worked all the time I would give it a 10 start. Please fix it because it is very nice to listen to at bedtime. ### 5/5 — Appreciated *2021-08-05, version 7* You are are truly God sent ! Thank you much for this app❤️ ### 5/5 — Excelent *2021-03-24, version 5* 👏👏👏👏👏🔥 ### 5/5 — Great app! But maybe one thing could be adjusted.. *2021-03-17, version 5* I just got this app and i just scrolled through all the sounds. All of them sound so relaxing and could help me sleep! The one thing i would like would to add more sounds. Nothing specific but more options! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-10-08* I use this app a lot! I let play, sometimes for hours, while I’m working at my desk. This app was invaluable while I was writing essays in college. It’s the only one I could find that had such gorgeous ‘music’ to accompany the sounds! I do have a request... can you add ocean sounds? Please??? **Developer response:** My research on the sounds of the ocean continues, your request may come true soon ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Absolutely wonderful *2020-09-16, version 5* I absolutely adore this app. I can pick and choose what sounds I need, can even do more than one. It’s wonderful for both sleep and meditation. 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
