But recently when I start a sleep sound, an ad pops up at the bottom and it completely stops the sleep sound. I thought if I click back and try again, it would work, but no the ad keeps popping up and stopping the sleep sound. I even tried closing the app and trying again, the ad still keeps stopping the sleep sound. Unfortunately I’ve had to download a new white noise app, so hopefully that one doesn’t have any issues. ### 2/5 — Great except for ads! *2024-12-06, version 7.1.0* Would be a fab app except everytime an ad comes up it turns the sound off which negates the point of a sounds app! Wakes my child up and I’m now deleting the app and looking for a new one. ### 3/5 — Uses cellular data *2024-11-10, version 7.1.0* When using this app be sure to disallow cellular data in settings. I’m on a crappy phone plan but I’ve never had issues with maxing out my 40gb data limit - that is until I started using this app for white noise while I sleep. ### 3/5 — Cuts out with adverts *2023-06-19, version 7.1.0* This app was great and worked a treat however it now cuts out every-time an advert pops up, so it is in usable. Annoying really as my daughter did love it. ### 3/5 — Please Update *2022-12-12, version 7.1.0* I love using the app and it has worked a treat for my bub - but now it plays for a few seconds and then stops, plays for a bit and stops. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-09-14, version 7.1.0* Love this app usually but one of the ads cuts off the sound as soon as it opens, completely defeating the purpose of the app. Disappointed in this. ### 1/5 — Keeps stopping *2022-08-09, version 7.1.0* I have used the app for years but this latest version is terrible. It stops after a while and turns off no matter how many hours I put to run or run as indefinite it still stops. Fix it please! Wish I didn’t upgrade I want the old version back. ### 2/5 — Ads interfering with playback *2022-08-08, version 7.1.0* Certain display ads are causing the sound to stop. There’s no way around it until the next ad rotates in. Shame because the heavy rain sound is great. ### 3/5 — Latest update not good *2022-06-08, version 7.1.0* Love this app generally, but the latest sound updates were terrible. Rain sound is no longer constant with volume varying, detectable recording loop, and random thunder sounds. This is no longer soothing. Doesn’t remember previous settings either. I have had to buy and download my own consistent rain sound and use it in the ‘my music’ section as a workaround. I hope designers release a fix soon. Thanks for an otherwise great app over the years. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Help! App is crashing *2024-05-06, version 7.1.0* I depend on this to get my son to sleep. Now the app is crashing and won’t open. At all. Please help. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2024-03-08, version 7.1.0* It’s great if you’re in airplane mode or for the first 4 seconds but as soon as an ad pops up the sound goes out, completely defeating the purpose of the app. ### 1/5 — How do you get rid of ads? *2023-11-26, version 7.1.0* I can’t use this anymore - the ads come up and the sound stops - I can’t see an x to click out if it only the open button. So disappointing I have used this app for a long time. ### 1/5 — Ads Stopping Noise *2023-10-24, version 7.1.0* Still no noise playing when ads pop up at bottom. Defeats whole purpose of app. ### 1/5 — Ads block sound *2023-09-09, version 7.1.0* No noise ### 1/5 — Keeps Glitching when starting?? *2023-06-27, version 7.1.0* I’ve had this app for at least a year and has been perfect until the last two days. Now, when I start it at night, once the ad pops up at the bottom, the sounds go off. And will go often on every time the ad changes. What is going on? This app went from a⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ app to a ⭐️ app overnight. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay running *2023-06-26, version 7.1.0* Have been using this app for a few years and sometimes it would play for a couple of seconds and then shut down. It would take many tries to get it to start. But that only happened once a week or so. Now it’s doing it nightly and tonight I finally had it when it just would not continue to play. ### 1/5 — Sounds stop for adds *2023-03-28, version 7.1.0* When add pop up on the bottom of the screen when a sound is selected, the sound stops playing. The sound will only play for about a second. Plz fix this! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2023-03-14, version 7.1.0* I’ve used this app since 2015 with no issues until now. There’s a banner ad at the bottom of the screen, and certain ads cause the app to not work. The music or sounds will play for a second, then stop when the ad shows up. Sometimes it will finally work after closing and reopening 10-15 times, but who has the time or patience for that when trying to get young kids (or yourself) to sleep? If this issue were fixed, I’d be back to a 5-star review. But as-us, this is app is now a total disappointment. ### 1/5 — Stops sounds for ads *2023-03-01, version 7.1.0* The sounds will stop while banner ads go across the screen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best app *2026-02-07, version 7.1.0* I’ve used this since I was a baby wonderful app ### 5/5 — Loyal to this app please don’t delete it again *2025-06-04, version 7.1.0* I have used this app since I was 9 years old and had it on my iPod touch. I am turning 19 next week. The lullabies help me when I’m having nights of high anxiety and trouble sleeping. When this app was taken off the App Store temporarily I freaked out. Unfortunately now it’s having tech issues with the app not playing the lullabies with some ad’s audio. Love this app. Mr and sleepy sounds Forever. ### 5/5 — The best *2025-05-16, version 7.1.0* It’s helped me all my life ### 5/5 — App has stopped working after 4 years *2025-03-22, version 7.1.0* I depend on this daily for my routine driven child,it has stopped working tonight 😥😰 please bring it back ### 5/5 — Please put this on the App Store in the U.S!
