Baby loves the shush sound. Just wish it would go longer than 15 min. for free. ### 5/5 — If you have a baby, you need this *2018-12-18, version 1.28* I’ve neverrrrr 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 because let’s be real, saying shh for 15 mins is tiring. My baby passed out within minutes! It’s a total MUST! **Developer response:** I'm so glad the app works for you :-) Thank you very much for writing a review! ### 5/5 — Baby shush *2018-11-23, version 1.28* The app Is excellent has everything a mom needs and is very easy to use. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind feedback 😀 ### 5/5 — Bubba1011027 *2018-10-22, version 1.26* Love ### 5/5 — Mmjyjhj *2018-09-01, version 1.23* Mivp ### 5/5 — It’s Great!!! *2018-07-26, version 1.23* My baby girl loves the thunderstorm shusher! It really works well! ### 5/5 — Works well *2018-06-08, version 1.21* Works very well, and it’s great that I can record my voice. **Developer response:** Nice to hear that, thanks for taking the time to write a review! ### 5/5 — Life saver for twins! *2018-03-06, version 1.19* This app is the best free thing I have gotten to calm my babies down! With newborn twins it seemed like one or both were always fussing. This app instantly calms both at the same time! Their favorite is the cooker hood. Love all the different sound options! A must have! **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the review :-) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2017-08-08, version 1.13* No complaints! Works when needed. Enough choices and time limits. And it's free! ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2017-07-15, version 1.12* Let me record my own shush. Works so well! ### 5/5 — A life saver *2017-02-22, version 1.1* Great app, the fact you can record your own shhhh'ing or whatever will get the little one down to sleep is totally brilliant. A sanity saver ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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! ### 2/5 — Was 5 *2017-08-14, version 1.13* Was a 5 star but got a update and now it has time limits unless you pay 😡 ### 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. ### 3/5 — Definitely helps, but battery killer. *2019-04-08, version 1.28* Great to have, paid the $1.99 to have longer time, because it’s often needed. Two gripes, however. 1) If it’s on for longer than 45min while plugged in, even if it’s the only app running and the screen is off, the phone starts running hot. First time it happened, I thought maybe it was a fluke. Then I noticed it when my little one and I were napping, and I went to change the volume around 45min and it was hot again. It never used to do that, especially with the screen off, in Do Not Disturb mode overnight, automatic updates turned off, and no other apps running in background. 2) Even when the phone is charged 100% and not plugged in anymore, if the app is the only thing running, while the screen is off and the phone is in Do Not Disturb overnight, it drains the battery. Had the app running 6hrs to keep little one soothed and it drained to 44% battery remaining. I can leave other music apps on that actually require WiFi and data use, and they never drain even half of that! **Developer response:** Der TC1183, I'm sorry to hear that, currently there a no other reports of the problem. A warm device can be the result of many pro​blems.

My baby responds best to my own recorded “shush”. The free version only allows for 15 minutes of repeat. Must purchase for longer play or infinity loop. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2024-04-15* This is the best app ever!!! ### 5/5 — Helps our kid fall asleep fast *2024-04-15* Idk if our second kid is just a better sleeper, but we “lay him down when drowsy” within his wake window, and within the 15 min of the shhhh sound, he is asleep! ### 5/5 — Perfect Shh Sound to Calm Fussy Baby *2023-05-11* Use it every night to try and out our infant down. Works great! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Sara *2021-10-22, version 1.45* Love it so good ### 5/5 — En free *2021-05-31, version 1.44* a feed otub try ha I R up pj ref ### 5/5 — Great *2020-11-11, version 1.43* Great ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2019-10-18, version 1.33* Have been using the 15mins for 7months, no complaints!! 95% of the time babe is asleep within those 15. ### 5/5 — Simple but works shockingly well *2019-09-27, version 1.33* Saved my voice on many occasions --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
