I don’t want music, and I don’t see an option to turn it off. There might be, but I don’t want to spend the time to hunt it down. I’ll delete this app. ### 1/5 — This app is terrible and so is the support *2023-05-27* The noises DO NOT stay on with the timer set. I have tried to use this app for over a month and it starts out fine, but the sound does not stay on for the duration of the timer on my iPad Pro. I reached out to the support team three times with NO response. Zero support for this app. My last attempt was to request a full refund as I am unable to use as advertised. Disappointing. ### 1/5 — TO MUCH MONEY *2023-03-24* You have to pay for almost every sound that is needed to sleep ### 1/5 — Turns off every time *2022-10-06* Even with the timer set to 12 hours I wake up in the middle of the night and it’s turned off ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-10-01* This app shuts off continuously all night long, making it so right when you start to fall asleep, you get woken up to silence and need to restart it. Again. ### 1/5 — Will not play all night !!! *2022-04-05* Do not buy !!! It will not play all night **Developer response:** Hi, we have solved this problem that may occur on very few devices, please update to the latest version. If you have other questions in the future, you can send feedback via email 👉 healthsleep.feedback@outlook.com👈 (Feedback entry is in settings within the app). We will solve your problem as soon as possible. ### 2/5 — I haven’t used it yet but it’s trying to get me to buy stuff *2025-03-20* Trying to get me to pay money ### 3/5 — My opinion *2025-06-24* I think “White noise Sound machine” is a great app in my opinion! But most of the sounds you need a subscription to hear them. And I don’t want to sound like a “Karen”, but I do think they could add some sounds that are free and not need a subscription to hear. But overall I think this app is awesome i use it to help me fall asleep, it’s a very calming app. But just in the future, I wish for more sounds to be free than need a subscription to hear them. ### 4/5 — It’s a good app *2023-03-17* It’s good but sometimes it takes a while for me to get to sleep because. ### 5/5 — Best noise maker *2025-08-12* White noise will let you sleep through loud noises because I gave the white noise app a try because I had to sleep on an airbed in our laundry room without a fan blowing on me and I also like to hear the noise of the fan so I can sleep well. The reason I had no fan is because my dad's side of the family was in my bedroom so that is why I was sleeping in the laundry room. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — my battery is 20 percent low *2025-05-31* high is 100 ### 5/5 — Very good just got it for sleep *2024-10-20* Nice ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-01-05* It put my son right to sleep and helps me sleep too! Amazing how you can choose from so many sounds with the free version, and even mix those sounds together (I created camping sounds using the stream, summer bugs, and crackling fire). And you can even change the background image so you can have something to look at until you get sleepy. Works great! ### 5/5 — Really good. *2022-11-05* Good noise selection for both premium and non-premium people. I love how it plays even when I turn my phone off. It helps with my insomnia and I totally recommend it. ### 5/5 — Great Sound Mahchine App! *2022-03-16* I'm so grateful my friend told me about this app. I previously had a white noise machine that kept stopping (even though I had it programmed to play continuously), which woke me up immediately. Now, I just plug my phone in and the 'airplane cabin' noise allows me to sleep through the night. It's wonderful. ### 5/5 — Sleeping well!!! *2022-03-12* I absolutely cannot sleep without it. My white noise machine (which was large & I carried it to hotel) quit working I couldn’t find another one. After sleepless nights I talked with a coworker and she recommended this app. I now just pop in earbuds and finally enjoy blocking out most noises and enjoy the white noise aka Airplane Cabin noise I choose on the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
