### 3/5 — widget與ios26不相容

*2025-09-16, version 2.6*

本來ios18時widget顯示正常，ios26後widget變一片黑。

### 5/5 — Nice

*2024-11-27, version 2.6*

Nice

### 5/5 — 某站来的，用着好

*2024-10-06, version 2.1*

哈哈阿里嘎多

### 2/5 — Too many problems, not worth it

*2024-10-02, version 2.0*

I like that that app has many different sounds to chose from but this is where it ends. Other than that, the app has too many problems:

There doesn’t seem to be a way to edit custom or system scenes. 
Creating new scenes is super unintuitive and fiddly. 
It is not clear when the timer actually works and when it doesn’t. I had the timer running and once in a while the sound continues even after the timer stops. 
And talking about stopping the sound, why is there no option to fade out the sound rather than abruptly stopping it. With that, it is not possible (at least for me), to use the app to fall asleep. 
The sound quality is only mediocre, e.g. the Brown Noise has a clicking sound every few seconds, or the rain is very short and then repeats in a very obvious manner. 

It is unfortunate, but this app is not for me.

### 4/5 — $30

*2024-10-01, version 2.0*

是指什麼幣別？

### 5/5 — Amazing and Customisable

*2024-09-27, version 1.6*

First off, I have got to say this is handsdown the best app I have ever come across for playing ambient sounds. I love the fact that each individual sound is customisable in volume and that a few sounds can be mixed together to create the perfect background Ambiance. I use this app to create sounds of waves hitting the shore with a very low volume, wind chime and distant seagulls. Simply and utterly perfect.  This is ideal with noise cancelling headphones, the stresses of the day disappear. I am also using this for the white noise function with my grandchildren. Best of all it keeps on playing on the Lock Screen.

### 1/5 — Instructions?

*2024-09-27*

This app has the possibility to make many customized sounds. Too bad that the page to save them is written in what appears to be Chinese.

### 4/5 — Decent, not perfect

*2024-09-23, version 1.5.1*

Actually quite good, but the sounds can be a bit heavy going. For example "Thunder" seems to mean "Thunder every 7 seconds or so". 

There are volume controls for each sound effect, but I'd like to see occurrence controls as well.

It's still decent without though. And I got it for free on a promo. Can't complain.

### 1/5 — Sound loop is the same

*2024-09-22, version 1.5.1*

Please, extend the sound lines

The same short sound over and over again makes it awful

The focus gets worse
(E.g. cricket sound)

### 5/5 — Very nice app

*2024-09-22*

Thanks for devs, it’s for free. Helps my sleep alot
