## What is SleepFan?

Treat yourself to the best sounds for sleeping
- 17 Real Fan Sounds with Oscillation
- 5 Ambient Tracks
- 3 Alarm Sounds
- Record your own sound loops

SleepFan is New & Improved

This version of SleepFan does everything better.  We have listened and responded to our customer complaints with this -- the best SleepFan ever.  

The Fans -
 SleepFan currently includes 17 fan sounds, there's something here for everyone.  Of course, you can also add your own fan sounds.  Your recordings are made into seamless audio loops.  You can adjust oscillation and stereo effect on your own recordings, too.

The Backgrounds -
 Ambient sounds (5 included) are stereo tracks, unaffected by fan oscillation.  These noise sources can be used solo or mixed with a fan sound.  You may also add your own sounds to the Ambient tracks, but they will be mono (since most devices don't have stereo microphones).

Timer & Alarms -
 Five alarms are included, but you may record your own.  If no alarm is chosen, Timer will still shut down the fan and ambient sounds after your requested duration.

To all that have provided feedback, we thank you!!

### 1/5 — Disruptive

*2022-08-10, version 4.2.0*

I didn’t find the fan or rain/river sounds in this app to be soothing. I wish I could have sampled before purchasing.

### 1/5 — Drains iPhone13 Pro battery while charging

*2021-11-05, version 4.2.0*

This app was fine on iPhone 6s while charging at night but drains the iPhone13 pro while charging. Unable to see why. I’ll have to try a different app now. Bummer.

### 5/5 — Sleep Fan

*2017-09-16, version 4.2.0*

LOVE IT HAVE HAD IT FOR A FEW YEARS. MY MOM AND MY HUSBAND HAVE IT. We use it for travel and at home, LOVE IT!!

### 5/5 — Great noisemaker, but...

*2017-04-27, version 4.2.0*

Great noisemaker, but cooling leaves a lot to be desired.  I am sweating profusely trying to get this thing to put out air.

### 5/5 — The best

*2017-01-10, version 4.2.0*

The best fan app available. Simple. Easy to use. And most of all, the sounds are legit. Laske Lo is the best one. I use it any time I'm traveling and need the white noise to sleep

### 5/5 — Works great

*2016-10-26, version 4.2.0*

Simple but does the job.

### 5/5 — Use this app to sleep or study

*2016-07-14, version 4.2.0*

It's excellent fan noise that is customizable. Absolutely the best one I tried... Then I purchase it. Love it.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-06-19, version 4.2.0*

Find your favorite fan. Choose an optional ambient noise to mix in. Simple! Sleep! I don't use the alarm. With iPhone 6, I use my on board alarm so I can snooze. I shut off screen with fan in. Fan stops when alarm sounds, tap snooze and fan resumes. Thanks!!!

### 3/5 — Not great

*2016-06-04, version 4.2.0*

I like the actual fan noises, but the app has some bugs, which is disappointing since you're paying for it. Sometimes the app shuts off when my alarm goes off and I hit snooze. Also after my alarm goes of, if the fan doesn't stop, it starts to make a "ticking" noise. Frustrating.

### 5/5 — Good!

*2016-05-01, version 4.2.0*

I like this a lot I sleep in a hospital where I am not allowed to have a fan I tried a lot of free apps and eventually I decided it would be best for me to break down and buy this I was pleasantly surprised I found a fan that nearly perfectly mimicked my grandmas fan I used to sleep with a bit of static but I noticed you can get The best sound quality by placing the fan 1-2 feet away from you and or laying on your side
