## What is Static?

Static plays soothing sounds that can help you rest peacefully or focus more easily.

If you find it difficult to fall asleep in a silent room, white or pink noise playing quietly may be helpful in your quest for rest. Need to focus on a task at work, but music is too distracting? Try the calming sounds of a campfire or ocean waves. A variety of sounds are available in the full version of Static.

The app also offers full remote-control capabilities. With Static running on one iPhone, you can control it from another nearby iPhone (as long as they’re on the same WiFi network). Parents commonly use this to turn sound off in a nursery without having to walk in to the room.

### 4/5 — Decent enough, needs a sleep timer

*2024-06-15, version 2.1.2*

Nice and simple app, but a sleep timer would make it perfect

### 3/5 — Not enough sounds

*2021-02-20, version 2.1.2*

This app doesn’t have the same amount of sounds as its competitors.

### 5/5 — Great for blocking out noise!

Noisy distractions?  Crank this up and concentrate!

### 1/5 — Obvious loops

*2020-08-07, version 2.1.2*

It’s crazy that you can hear noise within the static, and it’s just a five second loop. How hard is it to make good static????

### 4/5 — Great app with room for improvement

*2019-01-02, version 2.1.1*

This is by far one of the better static noise apps with a simple UI and great functionality. Some improvements that I wish the app had are Apple Watch support and a sleep timer. I look forward to more improvements.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2018-10-23, version 2.1.1*

Works exactly how you’d want it to: simple, efficient, and supports Siri Shortcuts!
