### 2/5 — Like clicks?

*2026-07-13, version 1.0*

There is an odd clicking sound about every 5 minutes on the white noise band. It’s not loud enough to wake me up, but it does disturb me as I am trying to fall asleep. So I cannot use this for sleeping.

### 2/5 — Uninstalling.

*2023-11-30*

Not a lot of good as a sleep aid, when you get some advert blaring out to wake you up; uninstalling.

### 4/5 — Great app except getting woken by ads

*2023-02-09*

Love the brown noise for sleep while on vacation. The first night or two of sleep was ad-free and then last night got woken by 2 ads. I can’t imagine  how trying to advertise to people who are trying to sleep is effective. Deal breaker. Please offer a paid, ad-free version that can be billed monthly or for short periods of time, like $5 for two weeks for travelers.

### 3/5 — No ads please

*2022-12-28*

Love it the sounds are fantastic only gave it 3 stars because a loud ad comes on in the middle of the night and wakes me up otherwise I would rate app 5 stars

### 3/5 — Ads wake you up

*2022-06-23*

This app is perfect except for the ads that wake you up in the middle of night hearing someone talking loudly. Like others have said I’d pay to remove the ads. With ads the app is useless!

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2022-06-13*

I had just got my baby to sleep with the amazing pink noise when an advert started up which was 10x the volume of the pink noise. Baby woke up screaming and my whole day was messed up because of the lack of sleep. Waste of time app

### 1/5 — Woke up to someone speaking!

*2022-06-01*

I wanted to use to sleep but suddenly I woke up to someone talking! Maybe an ad? Useless app to sleep with

### 1/5 — Worked great 1 night then obnoxious ads started!

*2022-05-29*

We got 1 peaceful night of sleep before the ads started waking me up. This is INSANE for a sleep app! There is no option to pay for ad-free or I would. The sounds are wonderful, but the ads have got to be removed or I will never be able to use this app again.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2022-05-28, version 1.0*

It keeps playing ads when you fall asleep. Terrible app. Finding another

### 1/5 — Random songs play throughout the night

*2022-05-05, version 1.0*

Used the app for 2 days without incident, now random songs play periodically through app…delete!

### 1/5 — Avoid... Noisy ads disrupt the pink noise

*2022-03-06*

I understand free apps want to try and make money using ads... and noise generators are the perfect place for this. The problem with this app is that whole screen ads take over the app at regular intervals and either disrupt, or worse still have their awful audio come through the speakers making this app pointless. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Terrible!

*2022-01-17*

My wife and I used both used this app while on a vacation to mask noise in the hotel. After starting we we awoken often from a loud click that we THOUGHT was coming from the hotel mechanical room next door. We even complained to the front desk. After two nights of this we realized IT WAS THE APP WAKING US UP! ThThe clicks were coming from the app we both had running on our phones! We tried the app one more night after resetting it and several minutes after starting it the app suddenly starts playing a loud advertisement! Deleted it

### 1/5 — Shame

*2021-12-05, version 1.0*

This app worked great for a week. Then woke my baby up from a dead sleep with an ad. With no option to turn off ads or to purchase an upgrade to get rid of them, this app is completely useless.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP

*2021-11-05, version 1.0*

Others mention it, but it will randomly play ads. What a nightmare (literally). This is an awful app. I’m deleting it directly after writing this review.

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2021-10-28, version 1.0*

Interrupting music and ads during the night will wake you up at all hours!

### 1/5 — High-pitched sound every loop

*2021-10-07*

High pitched squeak at the end of every brown noise loop. Pretty much the worst thing you can have in a sound loop. It only had one job, and it’s super fails. Cannot sleep with that high-pitched sound at the end of every brown noise loop. Amazingly bad, still can’t believe it

### 1/5 — Beware in app ads!

*2021-08-28*

Beware in app ads! No use for sleep if loud ads keep popping up!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not my style

*2026-07-19, version 1.0*

Not even for than ten more sounds to hear from

### 1/5 — Using Sounds for sleep

*2024-09-30, version 1.0*

Twice in the middle of the night…LOUD ADS BLASTED OUT OF THE SPEAKER! 
It disturbed my important night of sleep after I had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. I’ll NEVER use this again!

### 1/5 — Noises of games

*2024-02-15, version 1.0*

What kind of a sleep app wakes you hours later with AWFUL game ads and a stupid-sounding voice talking?! 

It's darned near frightening! I about had a panic attack.

### 1/5 — Woken up by ads

*2023-06-11*

First night was awesome. Slept through the night first time in over a year. Second night was awakes by people talking. I thought another app had opened by mistake. What a horrible app that plays ads while you are trying to sleep.

### 1/5 — Creepy talking when wifi on

*2023-04-08*

If my wifi is on on my phone, I’ve heard Chinese people talking, also an African American sounding talk radio or something like that, and one time it was just loud nasty music. The pink noise is still playing but you can hear these voices. It’s really just creepy. 

ALSO it has little blips or millisecond pauses that can wake the baby up. The start and stop.

### 1/5 — The ads ruin it

*2023-02-18*

The app is easy to use but randomly plays ads and podcasts in the background. I was trying to find something for my newborn and every time he would finally fall asleep some random ad would come on and wake him up.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-02-01*

I could hear the sound of people talking in the background. Didn't put me to sleep, just creeped me out. Now I can't seem to delete it.

### 1/5 — Want to love it BUT ADs

*2022-10-19, version 1.0*

This app is great except ads play randomly during the night and wake you up.  The first two nights I didn’t notice any ads.  The third night I was woke up by a voice talking 2-3 times.

### 1/5 — Game shows start playing every hour

*2022-09-22, version 1.0*

YOU ONLY GET ONE NIGHT OF SOUNDS. Then the next night a.weird game show starts playing EVERY HOUR. I’m SLEEPING. BYE!!!

### 1/5 — Plays ads and random noises during use

*2022-08-13, version 1.0*

Will play selected sound for a while but then start playing ads and other noises randomly throughout.  Terrible idea when using to keep a baby sleeping

### 5/5 — Juste WoW And Free et fonctionnel et gratuit

*2025-11-02, version 1.0*

Très pro !!!!!

### 5/5 — Pink sound is amazing

*2023-08-30, version 1.0*

I love it! I have ADHD !!! Sleeping is difficult, not any longer.

### 5/5 — Free app that’s actually free

*2022-08-25*

So glad I don’t gotta pay for anything. Works even if my phone is off when I’m sleeping and it stays on until my alarms in the morning.

### 5/5 — Good sounds

*2020-07-07, version 1.0*

I love the sounds 👍👍👍🤩😴

### 5/5 — Helps with tinnitus and hyperacusis

*2019-11-10, version 1.0*

If you have tinnitus or hyperacusis, this app might be a life-changer for you. I know it was for me. The pink noise provides sound enrichment for my ears and helps “reset” them. The best method I’ve found to make it work is to put the iPhone’s actual speaker right next to my ear and slowly move it back and forth. If you have tinnitus or hyperacusis, it means your ears need to reset and are hungry for sound enrichment. Pink noise is the best way to enrich them!! Look up Chris Singleton on YouTube if you think you might have hyperacusis (sensitivity to every days noises). 

I just have one small criticism of this app. I would like to be able to pay to have the ads removed.

### 5/5 — The sounds

*2019-10-17, version 1.0*

The sounds are saasvghj

### 5/5 — Sleep like a baby

*2019-07-26, version 1.0*

Great selections of sounds. I use a combination of pink noise, forest, and ocean and sleep like a baby.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-11-03*

True that it would be good to add more control (timer) but really, i dont mind. Love the fact i can mix and match the noise or play one by one.

### 5/5 — 1st time

*2018-08-31, version 1.0*

Sleeping better than I have in years!

### 5/5 — Great Appp

*2017-12-31, version 1.0*

Awesome. I use it every night to block out noises in and around the house. The looping of sounds is seamless. It's great!
