I think that they’re cool and all but I just want to open this up so I can play my brown noise so I can fall asleep. I think that those letters should still exist, but not just pop up on my screen. I keep clicking for the play button and accidentally downloading them. ### 5/5 — It’s good for my son *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* My son uses it every night because he has autism and he like the nature one ### 5/5 — 90 Day 4 Hours 56 Minutes *2026-08-18, version 8.7* I’ve got 90 Days 4 Hours and 56 minutes of listening time and have loved every second of it! ### 5/5 — This app is actually free *2026-08-17, version 8.5* I would easily say this is the best white noise app. It’s truly free, you can use premade mixes or create your own easily, and it doesn’t make you wait to listen with ads or pay walls. It also has a companion app for sharing and downloading more sounds that will auto link to this app. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-15, version 8.7* So many options, free, no sign in, just tap and its there. Only thing is it can be a bit quiet! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-14, version 8.5* Works great if you remember to plug-in your phone before going to sleep my actual sound machine broke and this worked I used this from at home at a friends house and traveling at works a lot better then at sound machine plus my nightstand had lest cords i think the one think I don’t like about it is it isn’t very loud and that if you forget to plug in your phone it dies halfway through the night ### 4/5 — My review *2026-08-13, version 8.5* Some of the noises don’t help you sleep. ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-12, version 8.5* The air conditioner white noise on this app is the best one. It’s loud and drowns out all surrounding sounds. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-11, version 8.5* Love it! ### 4/5 — Best sound app *2026-08-11, version 8.5* The airplane is my favorite and I also like the menu and alarm feature ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-09, version 8.5* This app has helped me relax and sleep for years. Really love it! ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-09, version 8.5* My mom got it for me one night and I’ve been using it a lot lately, I highly recommend it for people like me who can’t sleep at night because it’s too quiet.

Never happened for several years and now happens almost every time. ### 3/5 — Used to love it *2026-08-08, version 8.5* It was wonderful for years . Now it turns off once again the middle of the night. Very frustrating. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-08, version 8.5* Best sleep app in the world!! Home,motels, camping I always sleep like a baby ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-05, version 8.5* Super helpful if you don’t want to lug around a sound machine if you need to hear white noise to fall asleep. Also useful if you want to just relax on a airplane or in the car💯💯 ### 5/5 — Every day *2026-08-05, version 8.5* Sleep with this every night and the timer is fantastic most days I don’t need my alarm to wake me up. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-04, version 8.5* I have found this app to be the light in the times of dark, when in the forests of my suffering, I can listen to the sweet sounds of rivers, fans, and laundry machines. For when the terrors of the night come to take my life, I know I can rest easy with my sound making companion at my side to ward off the fowl beasts of the night from my head. Thank you, wondrous app, for protecting me while I rest, I shall forever be in your debt. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2026-08-03, version 8.5* White noise lite is the best white noise ever!!! I fall asleep in 2 minutes ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-03, version 8.5* Best out there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What went wrong? *2026-07-14, version 8.4.1* I have used this app for several years and loved it! It was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. However, it now keeps turning the sound off by itself. I updated the app and the same thing keeps happening. Please fix the app so I can sleep. ### 1/5 — Can’t use it anymore *2026-07-07, version 8.4.1* Been using and relying on this white noise app when traveling for a very long time. Latest update suddenly has ads and wants me to upgrade. Time to get rid of it. ### 1/5 — Get Bent! *2026-07-02, version 8.4.1* I have used this for years now all of a sudden I can't keep it on with the phone being closed then trying to get more info and money for stuff I'll go get for free somewhere else. Thanks for nothing ### 1/5 — Kills battery *2026-06-27, version 8.4.1* 1 minute of usage and 8 hours of “background usage” which used more than 50% of the battery life. They need to fix whatever the latest OS update did. Until then…delete the app and find a different one ### 1/5 — Privacy concerns *2026-06-18, version 8.4.1* I’ve used and relied on this app for years, but as all apps eventually do, it seems like a recent update has pushed to collect personal identifiers and harvest data from its user base. Most likely will start to sell off this data to tech giants and advertisers. You can say it’s anonymized, but the reality is with all the data points it’s collecting, it’s not really. Would love to hear why they went this route rather than simply asking its users to support it with small donation. A real shame… ### 1/5 — Volume Ruined *2026-06-15, version 8.4* What the heck?! New app update makes the sound so soft now. I can barely hear anything even at max volume. Will be switching to another app. ### 1/5 — Buggy Lately *2026-05-31, version 8.3.1* Bluetooth issues ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-05-27, version 8.3* I’ve used this app every single night without fail for almost ten years, never had any issues. Starting today, sound stops playing when you turn your screen off or go to another app, you have to restart the app only to get it to do it again after 15 seconds. It’s very clearly a programming error because if you switch outputs, it will continue playing again until you shut the screen off. Completely broken. Please fix this, I’ll update my review when it’s fixed. Absolutely begging. This is my sleep app, I use it every single night and I can’t sleep without it. ### 1/5 — Ads stopping the sound *2026-05-26, version 8.3* Some new ads being displayed in the app silence the sound selection in the app making it useless. ### 1/5 — Lost lock screen clock *2026-05-13, version 8.3* New version forces you to use app clock which I do not like. I only use Gray Noise and IOS now has that for free. Switching to IOS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-08-24, version 8.7.1* Omg I love this app! I use it every night and it’s amazing! 5 stars! :) Soooooo good! And it’s free! ### 5/5 — 5 *2026-08-23, version 8.7.1* Nothings wrong ### 5/5 — Great white noise! *2026-08-22, version 8.7.1* I especially love the fan mode! Sleep like a baby! ### 5/5 — Love this!!! *2026-08-22, version 8.7.1* I never write reviews but I love this app. Turn it on for when baby takes nap. Love that there’s no stupid ads that disrupt the sound. I use this every day all the time. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-22, version 8.7.1* I can finally sleep without the voices bothering me and whispering in my ear evil thoughts ### 5/5 — Ahhh sleep *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* Took a day to get used to it, now I can’t go without it for more sound sleep! Love that it fades, has a timer, and a clock option. Brown noise for the win! ### 5/5 — 🥰 *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* Extremely peaceful ### 5/5 — Tinnitus Relief *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* I suffer from tinnitus for the past 20 years, so sleeping has always been difficult . I keep my iPhone plugged in charging all night while listening loudly to WHITE NOISE . It gives my tinnitus competition, so the noise that I hear doesn’t seem like it’s coming from my head, but rather coming from an external source. The idea was recommended by my audiologist and it’s been a life saver!!!! I cannot sleep without it!!! ### 5/5 — Sleepy time *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* It helps me sleep a lot better ### 5/5 — The best app out there!!! *2026-08-20, version 8.7.1* This is the most simple app to use. I love that you can set a timer for it to turn off that works great for me. The Box fan is the best sound!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
