### 4/5 — Great app but buggy recently

*2025-01-03, version 3.9*

Sometimes does not play in the background now. Otherwise a really great app.

### 4/5 — Improvement

*2020-07-22, version 3.6*

Sleep bug pro is an awesome app it calms you down but some of them are to loud and some may scare younger children and could add an alarm to go off when you need to go to bed but overall really good music to fall asleep with.

### 4/5 — Use Every Night

*2020-05-26*

Have had this app for approximately 5 years began with free version but quickly decided I wanted all the other sounds. 
This app has been essential for my granddaughter’s nightly sleep routine since she was 3 years old and she always wants “Baby” because initially she insisted that the baby pictures was her! 
Since I am raising her I have this app on my phone and told her parents they needed to download it so she could go to sleep. Of course they didn’t listen and were angry because she didn’t/couldn’t go to sleep when she spent the night with them. When they finally listened and got the app and put it on at bedtime they were amazed at how quickly and peacefully she fell asleep.
Though I love this app and recommend to many family and friends I gave it 4 stars because some sounds especially the fire sounds frantic and consuming rather than relaxing. Having been through 2 California fires they are almost reminiscent of the sound of those fires as they approached not relaxing like a camp fire and we camp often as well. Please fix this?!

### 5/5 — Best noise app available

*2020-04-24*

Great quality sound. Excellent controls. Fantastic sound selection. I really like this app!

### 5/5 — It works

*2020-04-07, version 3.6*

Nothing more to say. It works.

### 5/5 — A bit of natural sound at home

*2020-03-16, version 3.6*

It change from listening to music with words. Relax and calm your mind and remind you that you don’t need to hear others (music) just speak to yourself it’s enough.

### 5/5 — A life saver.

*2020-03-10, version 3.6*

This is my most important app. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Love it more than life

*2020-03-05*

I absolutely love this I listen to the airport all the time it’s the only thing that will get me to sleep if I forget my iPad and I don’t have my airport I will not sleep my favorite favorite app to sleep with

### 5/5 — Soooo calming

*2020-02-21*

I have used this many of times.  I’m starting to use it with tactical breathing, sleeping a lot better.

### 5/5 — Hockey please

*2020-02-18, version 3.6*

I would love to hear the sounds of ice hockey being played , not the nhl games . 
  But maybe pond hockey . The soft sounds of skates cutting the ice , the wind blowing , soft blows of the whistle . Sticks slapping around . Maybe some banter between players

### 5/5 — Cannot live without

*2020-01-18*

I use this at night for both myself and my little one to sleep and I also listen to it all day at work to stay calm and relaxed. Cannot live without it now!

### 5/5 — Can’t sleep without it!

*2020-01-16, version 3.6*

I use this app every night no matter where I am. It drowns out all the people noise of my busy household and let’s me drift off to sleep while listening to rain.

### 5/5 — Best!

*2019-11-07*

Best white noise app. I’ve tried a lot of sleep apps and this works the best. I love being able to adjust each sound in each scene. White Noise and Winter are my personal favs. I’ve been using it for years! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great Sounds App!!

*2019-11-05*

Offers plenty of sounds and options and no subscription!!

### 5/5 — ずっと使える

*2019-06-26*

宇宙の音が気に入って、よくかけています。
設定が細か過ぎずにすぐ使えるので便利ですがらやろうと思えば細かな設定も可能です。

### 5/5 — Fantastic!! Best ever!

*2019-02-13*

This app has so much features it’s unbelievable!  Customize your perfect sleep sound partner for one terrific slumber!  I’m amazed that this is FREE!  Check it out!  What do you have to lose except another sleepless night!

### 5/5 — Sleep Bug Pro

*2019-02-02, version 3.4*

Very interesting variations of astounds and Habitats all intended to assist the onset of Sleep

### 5/5 — Wonderful.

*2019-01-02, version 3.4*

I've been using this app for years. It even helped me sleep during my terrible battle with cancer. That's in the past now and I still find this app such a soothing, helpful tool. Thank you xz

### 5/5 — Bluffant

*2018-09-30*

Application très simple mais efficace. Impressionant.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2018-06-27, version 3.4*

Noinstructions on how to use.  Do not like sounds.  They are obnoxious and would do anything BUT cam me down

### 1/5 — Randomly just stops working

*2017-01-27, version 3.3*

I usually use this app to sleep. Every night since your last update it has randomly stopped working in the middle of the night. The sudden lack of noise has woke  me up every night this week. Therefore, very unhappy with this app.

### 1/5 — Sleep

*2016-12-13, version 3.1*

Change the kid rating. Most 4 or 5 year olds won't understand it or how to use it correctly.

The Emperor has spoken!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-12-13, version 3.1*

Looks really promising but won't download.

### 1/5 — It won't download

*2016-08-11, version 3.1*

Four attempts to download and it doesn't work.  Hope they fix it as it seems very promising.

### 1/5 — Another failed app

*2014-06-29, version 2.5*

All these apps fail eventually. This is the 3rd in 6 years to do so.Have had it over a year, but the last 2 nights it has stopped, and by doing so woken me up at 1:30am and 3:30am. Don't trust it anymore, time to look for a new one!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2013-09-19, version 2.2*

The sound does not play when the phone is locked! And it doesn't prevent the phone for locking itself when it is running so the sound goes off after a few seconds. 

The variety of scenes is good but there is no way to regulate the intensity of some effects... 

There are better apps out there.

### 1/5 — It doesn't work for me

*2013-09-18, version 2.2*

I only have it one star because I can't give it no stars

### 2/5 — So close

*2013-09-19, version 2.2*

I'd give this app 5 stars but even with a timer when I lock my phone the sounds stop. Very draining on batteries having to leave my phone "on/open" great looking app, very easy to use very relaxing otherwise.

### 3/5 — Hard to figure out how to navigate

*2024-08-24, version 3.9*

Still have not figured it out

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Puts me to sleep in no time

*2025-02-15, version 3.9*

Used almost every night to drown out the noise of the day and be taken to another place.

### 5/5 — Best White Noise App

*2024-10-19*

Hands down best app if you can’t sleep/focus in silence. Tons of options to choose from and you can set a timer. I set it to stop about 15 minutes before my alarm, and I usually wake up before it goes off.

The only thing I would recommend they change is the sound slowly getting quieter before turning off, instead of abruptly stopping. It’s startling sometimes.

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2022-05-11, version 3.8*

I have sleep anxiety and it really puts me to bed easily

### 5/5 — best sleep app

*2022-03-28, version 3.8*

helps me to sleep every night

### 5/5 — Sleep soundly

*2021-11-06*

Once you download and use, you’ll never sleep without it. This app; specifically the ocean waves has been putting my son to sleep for NINE YEARS. It travels with you wherever you go on your device. It’s soothing, relaxing and realistic. Plus, it drowns out street sounds, barking dogs, whatever noise is happening.

### 5/5 — Simple! Beautiful! Absolutely perfect!

*2021-08-26, version 3.6*

I’ve been using this app for years now. It’s simple and very easy to use, perfectly customizable, beautiful backgrounds and soothing sounds act as white noise and a night light if you wish. It can be timed, so it won’t wake you in the middle of the night. A perfect app to put anyone asleep, meditate, or practice mindfulness. I can’t believe it’s free. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Top Notch!

*2021-05-01*

This is the 4th I’ve tried. The others are pretty awful. You have so many options with this app it’s unbelievable. By far the best I have used. Want to hear the ocean? Of course, but what if you want to add sea gulls? No problem. You’ll love this app!

### 5/5 — Magnifique!

*2021-04-28*

Simple mais efface! Bravo!

### 5/5 — Love sleep bug pro

*2021-01-28, version 3.6*

Use it every night to go to bed by and I love it

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-11-20, version 3.6*

Use it ever evening as a way to relax and get a good sleep.
