From the noise selection to the aesthetic gui. However, there is a very annoying niche issue: if you have multiple apple devices and decide to switch from laptop to phone for sound, instead of pausing the sound, this app keeps insisting that the headphones stay focused on the laptop. It’s been an issue to the point where I have to angrily quit the app multiple times a week. ### 5/5 — Best app for watch *2023-10-04* Edit: too bad I cannot add more stars to my existing five star review - the developer read my review, and implemented the suggestions within a week!!!! This is the only white noise app I’ve been able to find where the watch app is actually its own app; all the other watch apps seem to just be controllers for the phone app. And: the sounds are *very* high quality. The app is great as-is and worth the price. But on my wishlist for the watch app: - the ability to set favorite sounds on the watch, or have my phone favorites synced over, so that they can appear at the top of the list. - the ability to make/sync mixes so they can be accessed from the watch **Developer response:** Thanks for your review. I’ve added these features into the watch app in the 3.6 release. ### 5/5 — Best app for watch *2023-09-27* This is the only white noise app I’ve been able to find where the watch app is actually its own app; all the other watch apps seem to just be controllers for the phone app. And: the sounds are *very* high quality.

It never failed. I highly recommend it for someone who is used to a constantly running air cleaner noise. ### 5/5 — Yeeeeereeer *2023-07-28, version 3.5.2* Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ### 5/5 — poop *2023-06-12* it helps me go to sleep ### 4/5 — Best App for basic sounds *2023-05-05* I’ve tried over 20 apps and keep coming back to this one—it’s great for the basic sounds I would seek out on other apps + has the customization within the sound. My only complaint is the sound is not loud enough even with my phone at full volume (can still hear birds outside, a car door shut on the street etc) ### 5/5 — 总体不错 *2023-03-01* 雷声可以再大声点，调到最大了还是小。没有付费，但是看付费的功能很多。如果以后需要我再来体验下。 ### 5/5 — Get a great sleep *2023-01-24* I love this smooth background noise. It puts me to sleep. ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-11-01* Great help for people who practice meditation ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading Advertising *2025-05-13* I found the advertising not straightforward and misleading, because when you first look at the app it said free, or “get”, with nothing notifying you that you have to buy a subscription within the first four lines of the description unless you press “see more”. There were absolutely no free options. I felt disappointed. ### 1/5 — Very … *2021-12-30* TERRIBLE. No noises emitted, and to pay for any of this would be even worse **Developer response:** Please contact me at support@bridgetech.io and I’ll be able to assist you with the app. I’m not sure why you’re not hearing any sounds. ### 1/5 — No longer free or any good *2021-12-15* This app had all of its features available for free. It not only does not function well and the noises don’t loop well what so ever anymore, but you’re required to pay a weekly sub to get proper functionality?? Come on….I’ve used this app for a long time and I’m having to wait to fall asleep because I have to find another app that meets my needs. Extremely disappointed. **Developer response:** I understand you’re disappointed that there are now features in the app that are paid for. I’ve tried to keep what’s there for free enough to make the app still a good choice for the many people who would prefer not to pay. Unfortunately, I’ve got to charge some people something. As I’m sure you can imagine, it takes time and costs money to develop apps. There has to be some kind of small income to pay for the royalties for new sounds etc. I’m interested to know what’s not functioning well for you now? I’ve been through the sounds today and noticed Jungle isn’t looping well after the last update. Is that the one you’re referring to? If you’ve got the time to get back to me my email is support@bridgetech.io ### 1/5 — Took away free *2021-11-28, version 2.11* Used this everyday for that reason. Definitely a shame will be deleting soon ### 2/5 — Close but compromises. *2022-07-31, version 3.1* The ‘effects’ are global and not per voices so who cares about oscillation? Sure miss “Storm”. Nothing since comes close. ### 3/5 — Loop is too short *2026-04-17, version 4.1.1* Does the job, but the loop of white noise seems to only be about 3 or 4 seconds long. My ear picks up on patterns pretty quickly which can make it harder to fall asleep ### 3/5 — Nice, but why so much RAM use? *2025-06-13, version 3.11* Don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice. But why does it take 600 MB of RAM after starting and 1 GB after an hour or two? Surely this could be quite a simple little app? ### 3/5 — One Glaring Issue *2025-05-15* The way this app handles apple headphones is a monstrosity. If I want to use my phone during my lunch hour I have to make sure I quit the app or else the laptop and phone start wrestling for the headphones’ signal. Everything else the app is fantastic. ### 3/5 — Was Great! *2024-02-13, version 3.7.2* For the last few weeks this app keeps on cutting out on me! Very aggravating! It was always perfect before😩 ### 3/5 — Can’t see saved combinations on Watch *2023-07-14* Not sure why this isn’t possible. Incredibly limiting. Gave feedback, but the thunder sound s very quiet even at max. Immediately covered by any sound over 1/3 volume. Would be a great app otherwise. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Piece of noise cake *2026-03-27* As delightfully easy to use and swingingly spare to behold as one would wish a noise generator to be. The only such gizmo in my experience to have a ‘womb’ setting, which did seem to kindle my own primordial memories of inverted, astronaut-like drifting. This lil’ app has everything you need and has the austere UI of a Kubrick moment. ### 5/5 — Best sleeping app out there *2026-02-06* I can’t tell you how much I love this app rather it was me trying to sleep on a loud base. Or using it to sleep at home with three teenagers and there music. I’d suggest this app any day hands down. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2025-10-31* My loud neighbours life saver 🤣 him and his noisy dogs barking every morning thankfully I can now sleep till I wake up naturally with the calming rain sounds 😁 ### 5/5 — WHITE NOISE SOUND MACHINE *2025-10-23, version 4.0* BEST FREE WHITE NOISE APP! ### 5/5 — Sleeper *2025-03-09* The sound selections and settings allow me to find just the right sound to put me to sleep. ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-02-08* I am able to sleep much better now. Stayed on throughout the entire night, it didnt drain too much of my battery at all, but it might depend on the device you use. Would recomend this app ### 5/5 — Only white noise app for me *2024-11-23* Love the noise choices as well as the customizable length of time. Had a white noise app that would crash (and the silence would wake me up!); this app does not quit until you want it to. ### 5/5 — Best App Ever *2024-10-04* So many sounds to combine and with other sounds and also play that sound by itself. LOVE IT! You need to try it! ### 5/5 — 嬉しい *2024-03-29* ぐっすり眠れる♥️ ### 5/5 — Battery Drain but worth it! *2024-01-15* LOVE this app! It's helped me relax through some tumultuous times. Just be ready for a bit of energy drain if you run it all night. I love the ability to change up the sounds, and adjust the frequencies. It's always just right for my needs. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
