I listen to thunderstorm every night. It’s very soothing and just enough to drown out my husbands snoring! ### 5/5 — Used with all 3 kids! *2019-11-28* Love this app. Variety of sounds to accommodate any child. There is also a night light feature you can use. My favorite part about it, no extra packing. My phone is always with me so I can have white noise play where ever and when ever my bab my is asleep. ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2019-11-27, version 6.6* Ive used this app multiple times a day for more than 2 years. The continuous play is fantastic and the sound options are great. I can’t recommend this highly enough ### 5/5 — Best Baby noise app! *2019-11-08, version 6.6* Awesome app thats helped my 1.5yr old since birth sleep while in the stroller or traveling. I’ve even found it useful for myself while napping. ### 5/5 — Ended up purchasing *2019-10-03* Started out with the free version and ended up upgrading when it REALLY helped our babies sleep. It’s so convenient when we aren’t around our white noise machine in the baby room or our baby falls asleep in another part of the house. I also like how the volume gradually increases when u initially turn it on, it’s not a sudden loud white noise to scare the baby. The paid version doesn’t turn off automatically after 30 mins so I didn’t have to worry about it turning off in the middle of baby’s nap. AWESOME app. I’ve had it for 3 yrs now. ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-10-01, version 6.0* Love it. Use it everyday ### 5/5 — Still using it 2 years later *2019-09-04* I was recommended to this app by my sister who has 3 kids. We started playing the womb sound for my son as soon as he was born and he slept like a champ minus his feedings every few hours. We switched to the fan noise once he was a few months old and he is now 2 and sleeps with the app on for every nap and bed time. My husband liked hearing it on my sons monitor so now we have mountain river playing all night in our room too. Thank you for making such a great app with realistic sounds. They have been a life saver and a staple in our routines! ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2019-02-01, version 6.0* Absolutely love this app! Have been using it every nap and bedtime since my daughter was born and she’s 2.5years. I even use it for myself when I sleep! The range of sounds is perfect but we only stick with the mountain river sound 😊 also love that it have the continuous play option ### 5/5 — Used every night for a year *2019-01-13, version 6.0* This app helps to drown out noises of siblings/ early risers when one is still sleeping. We’d be lost without it! ### 5/5 — Sound sleeper- love it! *2019-01-01, version 6.0* I use this app with both my baby and toddler as a sleep association and to block out background noise. It has a great range of sounds, we tend to use the water ones. I love that it has the option for continuous play so we can have it going all night. ### 5/5 — Continuous noise, no internet needed *2018-12-30, version 6.0* This is perfect for babies and exhausted parents. We set it on airplane mode and place next to the baby’s car seat, or bed. When I had my first baby we had YouTube white noise or pandora lullabies with these awful commercials midway through the nap, loud and jarring. We had to buy this app! It is great for travel too. Just remember to put your device on airplane mode! ### 5/5 — Helps my newborn sleep! *2018-12-25* We had a white noise machine at home ready for when my son came home from the hospital. It doesn’t even hold a candle to this app! The vacuum cleaner noise is what instantly calms him down when he is upset. This is what he falls asleep to in his bassinet at night. For all the new parents out there - buy this app! It is definitely worth it and can help your newborn sleep. You will come to love the sound of vacuum cleaner! ### 5/5 — You MUST get this for your babies *2018-10-25* We bought this app when our first (now 2) was born and it is a LIFELINE. The different sounds work great and there is no “loop” that you can hear. We originally got the free version but then paid for the one that gives unlimited time and it’s the best money we’ve ever spent. We have this app on both our phones and our iPad. Great for traveling as you just take the familiar sounds with you. I’ve plopped my phone on the car seat canopy behind me in the car before, to help my second child fall asleep. Can’t rave enough!! It’s the best! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-09-09, version 6.0* This is awesome, like a magic calming app. Worked with both of our kids, and though people laughed at the fact that they fell asleep to a vacuum cleaner, they were even more surprised when they saw it would instantly calm them if they were crying 😅. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2018-08-29, version 6.0* Perfect ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-08-28* We bought this app almost 5 years ago when my daughter was born. She loved the hairdryer sound. We also used it again when my son was born a year ago. Thankfully, he loved the thunderstorm and not the hairdryer! 🤣 I still use it when I can’t fall asleep. Very good app, good sound quality, can leave on all night or for a short period of time. ### 5/5 — This app has saved my life with my newborn! *2018-06-20, version 5.8* This app has saved my life with my newborn! ### 5/5 — Great for babies and parents *2018-04-19, version 5.8* Love this app. We’ve used it for my sons nap and bedtime since he was around 4 months old and it marked a bit change in his sleep. He still has it on now, a year down the line. I also use the app when I’m staying in hotels or tying to catch up on sleep during noisier times of the day. ### 5/5 — Very happy with this app! *2018-02-12, version 5.6* I have found this app VERY useful in the last week! My 4 month went from sleeping through the night to being very unsettled and sometimes waking every 1/2 hour! He loves the sound of the hairdryer, although we’ve not tried any other noises. He mostly sleeps through the night again sometimes only waking once or twice (which I can manage) Highly recommend this app to anyone, Downloaded the free one to start but as I didn’t realise there was a full version for £5 I switched straight away as I was considering the ‘Mt hummy’ for 10 times the price! Love the remote feature makes life even easier! So glad o found this app xxx ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crush since OS 14 *2020-09-22, version 6.7* Unfortunately since I have updated my iPad to OS 14 the application is not working anymore and as soon as I open it, it closes immediately. Is the developer planning to work on the issue since this was a paid version? Thanks ### 1/5 — Is crashing after latest update on 2 iPhones and an iPad *2018-01-23, version 5.6* Running iOS 11.2.2 on an iPhone X, and iPhone 6, and an iPad Mini, and all have the app crashing after launching. Help! Our baby is sad. :( ### 1/5 — Bluetooth doesn't work with App *2017-08-04, version 5.1* Paid full price for this app and wanted to use it with Bluetooth in my car but it doesn't work. There is a link in the app to email the developer but he doesn't respond either. ### 1/5 — Biggest waste of 3 dollars *2016-05-19, version 4.0* Don't buy it. Not soothing. Generic. Can find better apps / and other free applications to offer you better quality (I never write reviews.) I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Broken *2013-01-22, version 2.0* New version doesn't work with iOS5 and won't be updated until February so if you have paid for this app, tough. It's not like the developer has any responsibility to check their work is it? It is NOT compatible with iPad as claimed and NOT suitable for iOS5. ### 3/5 — Great app But new update doesn't allow Bluetooth *2016-09-17, version 4.1* We sync our phone to Bluetooth and play sound sleeper all night - but with iOS 10 - the app won't let us sync this apps noise to Bluetooth. ### 3/5 — Cost *2015-04-12, version 3.6* I brought this for my phone and want it on my iPad too not happy I have buy it twice!!! ### 4/5 — Great app but... *2016-09-27, version 4.3* Every time there is an update I lose all my favorites and my recorded sounds.... every. Single. Time. It's rather an annoying thing to happen on a paid app. ### 4/5 — Great App *2015-09-30, version 4.0* I've used this app on my little one since she was about 3 months old.. And it's worked wonders. When she was younger it was the only thing that would stop her from crying or fall asleep and she's nearly 2 years old now and it still has a calming affect on her when she is really cranky & whiny. Definitely recommend. ### 4/5 — Not just for baby! *2015-08-05, version 3.7* This app has been absolutely fantastic, not only for the baby when she was younger but also for me whilst I'm trying to drown out the children so I can catch up on sleep whilst my other half looks after them. Reported a glitch with the app and the team responded very promptly and positively! Great all round experience. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 7yrs and counting *2025-07-11* I first downloaded this app 7 years ago after seeing Kassy Mansfield recommend it on her Instagram. As a new mom, I followed every suggestion I could find, and this one truly stuck. Now, my son is 7, and every single night he still asks for “the bedtime songs.” It’s become a cherished part of our routine, we simply can’t fall asleep without it. ### 5/5 — Get the family to bed! *2021-12-21* I used to have a white noise machine that finally died about a decade ago. Since then I had bought a iPhone, I was looking for a White Noise app that I could substitute. Don’t quite remember how, but I ended up on this one quite a while ago. The app was so good that now our entire family uses it to go to sleep. Thank you so much for this incredible app! ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-12-02* I have used this app for years with babies and also myself. There are many options to choose from to achieve that perfect sound for your sleeping needs. I love the Mountain River and so did my babies. I have received wonderful customer service from this app as well. Had a little glitch and they took excellent care of me in order to get me back to my sound sleep. I would recommend this app to anyone who needs white noise for sleep…especially with babies. ### 5/5 — Sleep after baby! *2021-05-07, version 6.9* Not been able to sleep without white noise since having my son. Our favourite is “mountain river” gives me such a peaceful sleep would definitely recommend! Lots of options to choose from which are age recommended too ### 5/5 — This app is a non-negotiable *2021-05-04* Get this app. I have used it for all 3 kids and it works like a charm. We only use one sound haha Mountain river Nothing has ever worked better - I tell all parents to get it - no matter the “season” or age their kid is in ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2020-10-13* I first started using this seven years ago to help my then newborn sleep through the night- the first time I used it she slept six hrs straight and improved every day from there! I used it for my second daughter and it worked like magic again. And then I realized I also love it and it helped me sleep quicker and sounder too! I love it especially when traveling and there are weird hotel noises etc. it’s an awesome app and good for babies for sure- but even adults can benefit from it! Never have written an app review before but this one has earned it! ### 5/5 — Magic! *2020-09-19, version 6.7* This sound machine works wonders with my baby! My favorite is the vacuum cleaner sound. We use it while going to sleep & if she wakes up at night I turn it back on & she usually goes back to sleep for atleast another hour. Now my husband & I need it to fall asleep too! Love this app so much I upgraded so I can set the timer for longer periods of time. ### 5/5 — Super easy to use and effective to help baby sleep! *2020-08-06, version 6.7* Love it. ### 5/5 — Necessity for Babies! *2020-07-14* I’ve used this app for all 3 of my babies over the passed 6 years. The hairdryer sound NEVER FAILS. I’ve honestly never needed another sound than that. Worth paying for the full priced app so that you can use it on no time limits. ### 5/5 — 2 years on *2020-05-18, version 6.7* Defiantly worth getting my daughter is now 2 and have used it since she was a baby. A wide choice and never have to use anything else. I have now adapted using it for myself and within a 10 minute timer I’m fast asleep!
