It not only gets me to a place of deep sleep it keeps me there! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working right *2026-06-27, version 8.0.4* Paid for the full version, stopped working, messages developers. No real response ### 1/5 — Can’t restore purchases *2026-05-20, version 8.0.4* I got a new phone and now I can’t restore my purchase. The app bugs out and crashes when attempting to play any of the free sounds. ### 1/5 — Ruined *2026-04-06, version 8.0.4* AVOID! I used it for years… but suddenly they made the app inoperative. When I re-downloaded it most of the sounds were gone. So now I have to pay them $16 for sounds I formerly got free? What a bunch of conniving thieves. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-04-03, version 8.0.4* Overpriced. ### 1/5 — Useless premium upgrade & no instructions on how to use *2025-12-10, version 8.0.4* Bought the upgrade and nothing happened. When I tried to use the tools (after I had to search how to do it!) all it did was show me a page that said I have the premium upgrade membership. Not one darn thing else. I deleted the app, restarted my phone, downloaded the app again and it was just the same thing even a day later. I emailed support and got the typical auto reply. Then nothing. So, I don’t have time to waste on this. I deleted it and cancelled my subscription. It would be a good idea to maybe consider fixing these issues so those who purchase premium, will be able to actually use the perks vs. just having pages pop up that says the premium upgrade was purchased. Good luck if you choose this app. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-11-26, version 8.0.4* You have to pay for everything ### 1/5 — UGHHHH THIS IS THE WORST 😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 *2025-07-25, version 8.0.4* So I was looking through the reviews and I found that you used a trick to get more money 💰 and that someone bought something and then you changed it and then they lost it all please make it less money 💵 good night 💤😒😜edit:this game stinks, you have to pay for like EVERYTHING. Also the app is just trash 😤if u r reading ths DONT GET THE APP IT IS THE WORST ### 1/5 — Pay to win knock off *2025-07-11, version 8.0.4* You only get like 5 sounds with the app the rest are very expensive when you can just use something else also they don't have white noise like most people prefer so I would say just use like something else ### 1/5 — RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!! *2025-06-03, version 8.0.4* 🤮 ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-04-28, version 8.0.4* No actual steady white noise. Just horrible “nature” sounds that will keep you awake ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sleep *2026-08-23, version 8.0.4* Great works ### 5/5 — Very awesome *2026-08-20, version 8.0.4* Awesome love it to go to sleep to ### 5/5 — I’m a professional critic *2026-08-18, version 8.0.4* This app is a great sleep noise app, however there isn’t much sounds you can access for free. You have to pay 9.99$ for one noise package, or 19.99$ for all of them. That isn’t that expensive but I would recommend making some extra free noises. I would also love a free package! -Reagan (Jesus loves you) ### 5/5 — Good Sounds *2026-08-12, version 8.0.4* My two favorites are rain and fire place… they can just soothe to sleep. I like the 1 hour timer - but would be perfect it there were 8 hours. ### 5/5 — Amazing! you NEED this app *2026-08-09, version 8.0.4* It is great for me, because I have trouble sleeping and this also can calm me down even when I’m just trying to relax. Really great and comes with lots of free sounds. ### 5/5 — Get this app *2026-08-07, version 8.0.4* This noise is amazing. You can chose different tunes to help you fall asleep ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-07-31, version 8.0.4* Of all the sleep assist apps I have tried, this is the one I keep coming back to. I love the custom combos I can create. I can make myself feel totally at home or far away in an exotic spot. Well worth the money! ### 5/5 — Very amazing *2026-07-29, version 8.0.4* This helps me sleep when my melatonin doesn’t work. Very happy yippee 😴😁 ### 5/5 — App keeps on giving *2026-07-25, version 8.0.4* I first got this app close to a decade ago and I use it when I want to hear soothing sounds, or as a compliment to my tabletop roleplaying games where it provides lovely atmospheric sounds without being overly distracting like music can be. ### 5/5 — 🌊🇺🇸 *2026-07-22, version 8.0.4* I love it because I am a morning person I wake up at 2Am or 5Am for practices for my sports I get it I’m 15 but I have to get to bed early plus I can not stay up late I’ll be so tired if I do but it helps me sleep and clam so when I’m having a big day I hope in bed I sleep and wake up refreshed and my sister and dad snore and when we go to vacation I share an room or bed with my little sister and she snores so I turn the rain sound on and she doesn’t snore which I can’t sleep with snoring because I’m also a light sleeper I would recommend this 🌊🌊🌊🩵🩵 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
