### 5/5 — It is true…

*2023-09-10, version 1.2*

I am 68 years old and the brown noise helps me get to sleep AND stay asleep. The pink noise is my next favorite. If you haven’t tried it you really should try all of the color noises.

### 5/5 — Works wonderfully

*2023-08-12, version 1.2*

I use the Brown Noise to go to sleep it has worked exceptionally well for that purpose. I particularly like the timer feature.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2023-02-22, version 1.2*

I like the addition of Grey Noise,  that I use occasionally but Brown noise is what I find is the right tone for me

### 3/5 — BROWN NOISE CLICK

*2022-12-04, version 1.2*

When playing the BROWN NOISE option, there is an annoying CLICK that repeats EVERY 10 seconds!  Please fix!  Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-11, version 1.2*

I use it all the time to sleep at night!

### 5/5 — Best App I’ve tried

*2022-06-19, version 1.2*

I have literally gone through probably 20+ apps that were free & easy to use. This one right here is it y’all. My baby likes some pink noise to sleep and precious apps I’ve used have a time limit or pay monthly fees to use the app… or even worse, have COMMERCIALS playing like every minute 🙃 this app is great and there aren’t any fees or anything.

### 5/5 — Great for bedtime

*2022-05-21, version 1.2*

We use this all the time when putting our grandchildren to bed. Easy!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2022-03-07, version 1.2*

Have been using for a few months & really like. I used to have white noise machines but like that I can control the volume better on the app. I like the brown noise best for sleeping. I turn it on, plug into charger dock & am good all night & wake up with a fully charged phone so a win-win! Take it with me when I go to visit anyone to drown out all the noise: people, traffic, etc; wouldn't be without! 😁

### 5/5 — White, pink and more

*2022-03-01, version 1.2*

Dependable noise, especially when I’m traveling.

### 3/5 — Audio ads are killing this

*2021-11-17, version 1.2*

I’ve been using this app for years. Over the last several weeks they have introduced audible ads once you try and turn on noise for bed. Seriously? I’m sleepy and trying to relax and you decide that’s a great time to run a dissonant sounding ad?? 
Also, if someone calls or texts (even if you’re phone is on ‘silent’ mode) while you’re using this app, the noise will shut off. To continue, you will have to restart. Kinda defeats the purpose of a SLEEP noise app. 
I’m switching to another app.
