Google ads

This app has the greatest wave sounds but after the second day it started having google ads. I don’t have an android device because I don’t want google following me around so why would I install an app with google ads on my iPad?

Wow

I’ve been using this app for years. It’s great because it never has ads and it’s free. It’s nice to turn these on even when I don’t have cellular. I’m shocked this app has yet to become popular!

Stop/start button

Is there a stop/start button or how do you turn it off when you leave the app? I can’t find the Pro version! Is there one? I may delete this app!

New update broke it

Always loved this app for years but noq after the recent update/overhaul it doesn’t work. I click a sound option and it plays 1-2 seconds before it goes mute. Tried deleting and re-downloading and still broken. Now it’s useless.

Enjoying the app for years

Simple, easy to use and relaxing. I like the gentle rolling waves. Updates have made it even better. I am recommending it for my clients.
