Outstanding noise masking &sound mix
Update (2023): Still (again?), my favorite of this type of app. The mixer function was buggy in one iteration many updates ago, but they fixed it, added new sounds, improved the look and UI, and cleaned up any bugs. This app took a step back & then two steps forward. All of my last review below still applies:
(Review of an older update) I continue to love this app. One of my top five favorites out of my 1000+ apps on my iPhone and iPad. I use it for so many things. I like to use it for background for electronic music sometimes, I use it as I say below for sleeping, it's my first app that I turn on whenever I want to do something to mask out other sound or to relax me. The mixer, and saved favorite function, is one of my favorite features on this app. I can design different blends for different purposes. If you like this kind of thing, find various kinds of white noise, background sounds, nature sounds, etc. useful, helpful or healing, this is the app for you. End update
Original review: I really like apps that generate background noise and sound that can be soothing as well as masking/blocking other distracting or disturbing sounds. I use these a lot sometimes to write and sometimes to help me sleep. I really like this app because it's got a lot of different varieties of sounds (both from nature - eg ocean, waterfall, rain, etc, as well as electronically generated sounds - white noise, pink noise, brown noise) and you can custom mix and match in many different ways. The mix controls (levels, balance) are very robust & sophisticated, yet simple to use. You can save your favorites both in terms of individual sounds as well as your mixes. It also allows you to layer the sounds on top of other music you might be playing. And unlike some other noise generating apps, it plays in the background. I can also imagine myself using some of this app's tools for my own music in composition. I tried a lot of different apps with various noise generators, and this is the best one.

Sounds loop every few mins with a notable pause.
Not a fan. The frequent pauses and repeat tends to jar you awake.
White Noies!
I like white noise because if my baby is sleeping I can put it on and if your in a hotel and forget the sound machine you can use your phone thanks to whom ever made this app 😊
Must own
Great app! Must own! Very convenient and easy to use.
Trouble sleeping
I have to say that this app turned the words sleeping into spelling—- off the bat. Not a good first impression. Ll
