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 — Glitch fixed - Back to five star! *2015-05-19, version 4.2.0* This is an amazing app! Ive used it for a long time (literally years) prior to the last two updates, the most recent update just fixed a glitch brought on by the one before that. No more glitch or problems! When it had problems (NOT anymore) I contacted customer service and they were AMAZING! SO courteous and helpful and friendly I was impressed. Five star for customer service AND another five for the App itself. With this App - You can pick your fan and the ambient noise choices that come with are great (especially because they are free). This app is the best on the market and we use it every night and my baby also naps with it instead of a separate white noise machine through-out the day. We use it on many different devices and apple generations of devices, no problems. SO worth the money here! ### 5/5 — Great, i love the new update *2015-05-19, version 4.2.0* Worth the money. I use it every night, helps me get to sleep in my loud house. Also, I love the new update, there is so many new options and you can make it sound exactly the way you want. :) 5stars ### 4/5 — I recommend it. *2015-05-14, version 4.1.0* This is a good fan app. I've been using it for about 4 years, every single night. But this recent update did create some glitches. Hopefully they get them fixed soon. Because I loved this app! ### 2/5 — Update *2015-04-12, version 4.1.0* I liked this better before the update! ### 4/5 — Last update created glitches *2015-04-06, version 4.1.0* Several glitches since April 3rd update. -honey medium fan won't launch and crashes app. -intermittent pauses during fan cycle. -if App is running then I turn on phone in lock screen, I can pause/adjust volume. If I pause then restart however, ambient sounds also start. -other issues that others have already outlined also present. Love this app otherwise. Hope the issues will be resolved. ### 5/5 — Update *2015-02-15, version 4.0.0* To me, the update isn't all that bad. I will agree that most fan options are unusable because you can't hear them. However you can still choose fans that are very loud like the original (there are 2 that are as loud IMO.) combine it with river and it's even louder and sounds good. Granted, I'm all for making the other fan options louder so we can use them as well. The louder the better. That's why we use this app isn't it? ### 1/5 — Update ruined this app *2015-02-11, version 4.0.0* Please go back...it was the best. No there is no on and off. Sound is too quiet and no choice of fans. ### 5/5 — Love the update *2015-02-10, version 4.0.0* I use headphones so those who say it's not loud enough I don't have that issue. I love the different options and the option to record my own fan! Then u won't hear a loop which I can't hear anyway. It's a fan.... But this app has saved me on two vacations now. In ABQ New Mexico at my sisters and all I hear is expressway. Used to the quiet woods and my fan. So thank you. Best App I've ever purchased!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — What did you do? Thumbs down! *2015-02-07, version 4.0.0* The fans are too low and the one that is loud enough (I think it was Turbo) is such a bad recording that I can hear the repeat in the loop of the recording! There's nothing worse than listening for the replay in the middle of the night. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-04-15, version 4.1.0* Deleted it. Before the update, used it every night. Since the update, deleted it. God awful! Why fix something that isn't broke? ### 1/5 — Please fix! *2015-04-13, version 4.1.0* Sound doesn't loop properly ### 1/5 — Sound Drops *2015-04-04, version 4.1.0* I have the same problem as the previous reviewer. The sound drops out periodically. It's unusable for me. ### 1/5 — Problem with looped sounds *2015-04-04, version 4.1.0* There is an issue with the looped fan sounds and there's a delay before the loop starts causing a pause. Very annoying! ### 1/5 — Please stop pause!!! *2015-04-03, version 4.1.0* For the love of God, the update now added a quick pause in the fan/white noise every 20 seconds or so. Fix it today!! No pause, continuous sound..... ### 1/5 — Too quiet now *2015-03-21, version 4.0.0* ***UPDATE. Saw your newly posted "advice" on making sure the sliders and device volume are up..... Thanks for insulting everyone's intelligence, but that has been done and it is still too quiet. Don't be naive. It's a problem. Please update this with the option of it being louder as it was before. I used to use this every night, now I can barely hear it on the max volume. I'll be finding another sleep app until this is fixed.... Very disappointed :( ### 1/5 — Not happy *2015-03-18, version 4.0.0* Freezes everytime I use it , waste of 2$ ### 1/5 — Ruined! *2015-02-11, version 4.0.0* Was my only and go-to app, now it is horrible. I have to delete and search for another one. Please bring back the last version!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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!!! ### 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 ### 5/5 — Realistic. *2016-02-28, version 4.2.0* Perfect. ### 5/5 — I'm a real Fan of this unique app *2015-07-11, version 4.2.0* I have several ambience and sound type apps and this one definitely is the best in its class. The developer has recently put some fine effort into really polishing up the app, including support for the latest iPhones. Recording and photo tagging of ones own custom fans works surprisingly well. A few extra well selected background sounds would be nice. Very happy with this app! ### 5/5 — WONDERFUL, SOOTHING FAN SOUNDS *2015-06-07, version 4.2.0* Love going to sleep with the sound of a fan, nature sounds are too contrived for me. This app has a great variety of beautiful fan sounds. Been sleeping real soundly since using this app. IF YOUR LIKE ME AND LOVE THE SOUND OF FANS GET THIS APP. YOU WILL LOVE IT. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
