### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2025-07-20*

This app has stayed with me since I was an infant!! I use the blow dryer sound and it soothes me to sleep every night! It also helps block out most noises! I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great for everyone in the family

*2019-03-25, version 1.17*

Bought this when my twins were first born. The vacuum sound was great for helping them sleep. Now that they're a little older, I use the fan for white noise and I've never slept better. Best money I ever spent!

### 1/5 — Always stopping!

*2018-07-25, version 1.13*

The sound works good for my baby to stop crying BUT I set the timer to play “continuously” and the sound still stops playing. I constantly have to press play to keep it going. My baby will just settle down with the running water sound and then it stops playing and my baby starts crying again.

### 3/5 — Apps been crashing lately

*2018-06-05, version 1.11*

This app was the best thing that happen to my baby sleeping until 2 weeks ago in randomly started crashing. Last week it started playing this funky music over the sound so I dl on a different device but still the same problem. It’s fine until it crashes and wakes my sleeping baby. I hope they fix this bug soooooon.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-05-17, version 1.11*

It works like magic

### 5/5 — It’s like magic!

*2017-11-21, version 1.9*

This app is wonderful and it’s like magic. I used it for my 3yr old daughter when she was a baby and it works wonders, now I’m using it for my 7 month old baby and it calms him when I use the dryer. He will sleep within 2 mins of playing it. Life saver.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2016-11-05, version 1.6*

This app has given me & my baby countless good nights of sleep! Highly recommend the full app purchase, worth its weight in gold!

### 5/5 — MAGIC app!!!!!

*2016-07-14, version 1.5*

This app is seriously magic. The second I turn on the "hairdryer" sound, he becomes zen baby!!! A must have app, which is especially nice bc it's free. Thank you for creating this for us! My only recommendation is that it'd be nice to use a different app, or let the phone "sleep" while the sound keeps playing. Currently the sound stops if the phone "sleeps" or goes to another app.

### 5/5 — Just awesome

*2016-03-15, version 1.5*

As a father who stays up at nights to take care of our youngest, this is just the best. The sounds are especially soothing to her. Since my little one is very light sensitive and I wanted perpetual sound, I ponied up the 99 cents. Seriously...pay the 99 cents.

### 1/5 — Flawed

*2016-01-10, version 1.4*

I purposely bought the full version of the app so I could lock my screen or use another app while the sound was playing.  Just recently, any time I push the home button, the sound will turn off. Example: I can be in another app like Instagram (with white noise playing), and if I push the home button to switch apps the noise turns off. Coming from a sleep deprived mom, if I ever meet the app developer, I will kick their butt for causing my baby to wake up after hours of trying to put them to sleep. This app is getting deleted and I'm getting a refund.
