"I’ve never written a review on the App Store before but I had to write one. This is a great app. So easy to use! And I love that I can record my own voice and put it on replay [...] My baby passed out within minutes! It’s a total MUST!" - App-Store review. When our second daughter was a baby we spend hours in the bedroom helping her to fall asleep. Over the time it was okay for her when one of us sat next to her bed continuously shushing. At this time I started developing this app which soon helped her falling asleep and we were able to leave the room. And it worked - as simple as that! The app contains many builtin white-nose / ambiance and shush sounds. But the best thing is: You can record your own voice or sounds the play what you baby likes most. Tap the sound, set time timer - that's all. A crying baby / toddler can be a challenging task for parent's, we read much books like the wonder week, blogs and so on. We learned much, but after long evenings and short nights this simple app helped us out many, many times!

Works great! ### 4/5 — amazing app *2023-03-27* I love this app it’s amazing it has all the classic sound. You need the baby to sleep and it’s free. They do have an app purchase for like a dollar or you could record your own recordings which I love but it is a little tricky. I’ve recorded the same thing over and over. It doesn’t always save and it doesn’t give me the option to edit or delete which I do not like but aside from that it truly is a great app. This is the only one you’re gonna Need. ### 3/5 — Meh… *2023-01-09, version 1.46* App is easy to use. Mostly bought it for the shhh sound. However the shhh sounds is a voice recording of a person that has a whistling sound in their shhh…. It’s not relaxing sounding to my baby. It actually startles him. ### 5/5 — Saved my sanity *2022-03-23, version 1.45* My 2 month old son loves these sounds. Calms him immediately ### 5/5 — Omg! Love! *2022-01-12, version 1.45* I just tried this with my 3 week old son and he fell right asleep. He woke up when it turned off after the 5 min, and I put it back on and he’s asleep! Magic! My fiancé thought it was funny when he heard me bring it out. But he was amazed on how it worked!! I definitely recommend the “shhh” sound! ### 4/5 — Love it but... *2022-01-02, version 1.45* The screen margins are off for an iPod touch. I downloaded it onto an iPod touch to leave in my babies’ room for sound instead of using a phone. The screen ratio barely shows the purchase button for infinite play on the right hand side. I pushed along the edge enough that i finally hit it and it allowed me to purchase it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your Review and Feedback. I will check this and fix it, so that the button is usable on the iPod touch device. ### 2/5 — To many issues *2021-12-30, version 1.45* The app helps out my daughter to sleep but it kills my battery tremendously even if I use it for ten minutes and it makes my phone super hot, glitch and irk in slow motion. Just not worth it. Be amazing if it didn’t do all that other stuff. **Developer response:** I am sorry to hear this. I have checked all available Diagnostics-Data provided by Apple. Those do not show significant issues with Power Consumption by this app. Please contact me for further support! ### 5/5 — Sara *2021-10-22, version 1.45* Love it so good ## Frequently asked questions about Shushr ### What does Shushr - Baby Sleep Sounds do?
