Extra Downloads Needed, Ultimately Not Free

Out the gate, downloading this app is not enough. You have to download another app for the sounds. Then, there are ads and you need to pay $4 to get rid of them. So, not that free. Typical bait and switch, which is ok if you’re ok with that type of thing. I was disappointed.

Best for sleep

Have used this every night on pink noise for over 2 years. Absolutely love it.

Great app

I love this app. I could not sleep without it. Don’t waste your money on a white noise machine when you can use this app for free.
