You get used to the advertising that shows up – garbage that it is – but yesterday had a new low. The screen was suddenly filled with a warning saying that I had multiple viruses on my phone and I only had two minutes to correct it. I was to click on a button. Obviously I didn't. But to think that whoever is in charge of this product is allowing it to be used by lowlife attackers is unconscionable. I am removing the app and I am warning others to remove the app. It's a shame, because otherwise the app was quite nice, but I don't need this kind of garbage coming in on my phone. ### 1/5 — Only works with screen on *2019-08-05* Not ideal as a sleep app when it switches itself off each time the screen goes dark. ### 1/5 — Bedtime Sleep and Sounds of Nature *2019-07-30, version 1.4* Did well for a while and then too many adds. Had to delete when porn adds started to show up! ### 2/5 — Kept crashing *2019-12-31* I desperately wanted to love this app, unfortunately it just keeps crashing and sounds stop abruptly no more than 5 minutes after they started playing ### 3/5 — First try *2019-08-24, version 1.4* First time using an app to sleep. This is perfect and easy. ### 3/5 — Not really worth it *2019-04-24* If you are trying to listen to this app free you will have no luck. The only free sound is an airplane noise. If you purchase this stuff, it is a good app but there are much better free ones. The prices are unreasonable. If you are looking for a better free app try something like rainrain or rainsounds both of which have other options than rain for free! Or if you are willing to pay this amount of money- use calm. This app isn’t really worth all the hassle. It is also hard to navigate. ### 3/5 — H *2018-08-20* Can’t play a playlist on this app ### 3/5 — Sleep only *2017-03-12* Does not have alarm or timer (though it says in description) Don't tell you about the ads. ### 4/5 — Z time *2020-01-28, version 1.4* I enjoy the app and it’s simplicity. Thank you ### 4/5 — Nice app *2020-01-24* I would recommend it for the insomniacs And for those who love background music / sounds to lull themselves to sleep and relax .

Easy to use, just play with it for a few. ### 5/5 — Good *2020-01-30* Good ### 5/5 — Excellent *2020-01-30* Best app for sounds I’ve ever used. I love that I can set a timer for it. I can set it to just turn off or I can set to exit the app. This app is amazing. Very happy I came across it. ### 5/5 — Every night! *2020-01-30, version 1.4* This is my go to EVERY NIGHT! ### 5/5 — Great app for sleeping *2020-01-10, version 1.4* So many good sounds to choose from. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2020-01-01* Have been using this for about a year to help my baby and older children to sleep. Love the variety of sounds you can choose and that it doesn’t turn off after a set time. On unsettled nights we leave it on all night. Fantastic free app. ### 5/5 — Excellent! Give it a try!! *2019-12-23* I do hope you have as wonderful of an experience as I have had. I am not able to sleep at a hotel or any away-from-home-place without it! ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2019-12-10* Just What I’ve been looking for. Highly recommend for all ages. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
