Kills your battery

A fully charged phone plugged in will only last 4-5 hours before this app kills your battery. Makes it difficult to sleep through the night.

Love the app

Really good sounds great app no ads download today for free

Love the app

Really good sounds great app no ads download today

Simple, Effective!

I don't need fan noises, rain drop sounds, fancy programs... Just a button for brown noise, and sometimes pink.

This does that beautifully. :)

Wish there was a 1-time "lifetime purchase" option to get rid of ads, but I am glad it is not a subscription model.

Amazing

Amazing, always helps me sleep. I feel like I have a much better sleep when I use the app. So simple and easy

Zzzzz

I love this app so much! I literally use to nightly. I live off a highway and its helps!

Amazing when it works. Mildly annoying when it doesn’t.

Perfect in many ways however sometimes it just stops working. Resetting is easy though by closing and reopening the app.

Awesome 👍

I have been using this app for a few years now paired with sleep headphones and it has worked brilliantly to drown out my husbands snoring. After ten years of insomnia and other sleep problems this has really done the trick. Also great for flying. Please don’t change the app it’s great as it is!

Get this and stop looking!!!

I have used this app for years. Don’t waste time looking for “color” sounds and just use this one.
I normally don’t write reviews on apps, but this app deserves it!

I love this app!

I have been using it every night for several years and it’s always worked perfectly for me. I love the simple UI & unobtrusive ads, & that it does exactly what it says on the tin. Thank you for making it!!!

Use the app every day

Works great now!

Best noise app

This is my favorite noise app so far, esp the brown noise. But I have one small issue… I keep my phone on silent but if I get a call the noise machine will go off while the call is coming in. It wakes me up when the noise randomly stops. I have to pick up my phone and make it start again which disrupts my sleep. Love the tone of the sounds though and the ease of use of the app!

Simple & Functional

A great app with no hidden fees. Straightforward and lets you choose a sound to play for an unlimited time without requiring to upgrade. Great selection of sounds and a very friendly user face.

Great app, a couple new bugs

I love the app, PLEASE make it so it still plays sound even if your iPhone is on vibrate again. It seems like they removed that functionality in the last update. I would love to be able to use the app even when my phone is muted. Also, I just noticed that when I turn off my screen, the audio stops. This didn’t happen before, please fix!

Response from developer

Hello, We are also users of the app every night and have not experienced this issue. Our phones are also on vibrate, no ringer on. It could be that there is a background process happening on your device that is interrupting the sound, so you could close all the apps on your phone and try again. If that doesn't work, you'd can let us know what model iPhone and version of iOS you are running and we can try that in a simulator and see if we can reproduce the issue. You can send that to info@threegreenwedges.com. Thanks!

Great sound but needs a timer function!

As the title says it… great sounds to choose from and handy with AirPlay.. just needs a timer function and it would be perfect!!

Safety app for years. Flashing ads bad for photosensitive migraines/epilepsy.

Im autistic and when I’m stressed or overwhelmed for years I’ve had this app on my phone (now my tablet) and put on my headphones and listen to brown noise. Loud noise and high pitches overwhelm me so this app has been amazing and saved me from many meltdowns and shutdowns in public and private. I can think better when I can isolate what I need to do in my brain (ie. Am I hungry, do I have low blood sugar, am I too cold, do I have to go to the bathroom). Those sound like normal things to a lot of people, but for a lot of autistic ppl too much input makes it hard to figure out what is wrong and then everything is overwhelming. My therapist and I put this specific app/my noise cancelling headphones into my safety plan about 3 years ago.

Im epileptic/photosensitive and have severe migraines so when ads flash on games apps I can’t watch. I liked to keep it open on a low brightness as long as my head didn’t hurt because I really like the stars and moon so it was calming to look at. When I opened it this morning, I already had a migraine so I was trying to figure out why (had low blood sugar), but immediately panicked when I saw the flashing g ads and the new green noise button. The ads intensified my migraine, and the change in general just panicked me because my app that has been my safety for years didn’t feel safe anymore because it must have updated overnight on its own. I know that sounds kind of weird and hysterical, but change to things I’m used to that keep my days normal and safe is really big to me.

I’ve loved this app so long. I’m probably not going to find a better substitute. I’ve tried YouTube videos, Spotify podcasts, turning my heater on, turning my fan on, turning them both on at the same time, sitting in my car parked while it’s running, listening to music to drown out other stuff, just noise cancelling headphones, sitting in the bathroom in the dark with the fan on, the background noise built into iPhones now, and listening to my kitchen fan. It’s something about the specific sound and consistency of the brown noise on the app that I like and I haven’t found it in anything else.

Subscriptions aren’t a thing for me because of monetary limitations, but this would definitely be worth a one time fee to remove ads if the devs decide that they choose to keep them.

Although personally Id be happily willing to keep an app and ‘tip’ a dev for an app I love if I’m not forced into removing things that are bad for my health. And more devoted to a company that has the best interests of it’s disabled consumers in mind.

Doesn’t work anymore - thank you for fixing this.

I am sorry but this app will no longer connect to my Bose speaker. It has been working for a long time. But just stopped in the last couple weeks.

Thank you for fixing this. It works great now!

Hi Jack! We are aware of an issue with bluetooth in the first version of the update and apologize for the disruption. Please check the App Store for version 2.0.2, which was published yesterday (2023-02-09). Should you still experience problems after the new updates, we'd love to investigate this further. It would help us if you could send us the type of speaker you are using, if you are up for that, please send us an email to info@threegreenwedges.com. Thanks!

WOOOOO 🥳🥳🥳

The bug has been fixed! Perfect flawless app!!!

Works Very Well & Helps with Sleep

Update 2/11/23: The developer corrected the Bluetooth issue very quickly and even reached out to me personally to let me know. This is a great app for using White, Pink, Brown or Green noise for a variety of reasons. I use the brown noise at night to help with sleep. The sound has a great quality compared to others I have tried. The app is straight forward and easy to use. Try it out for yourself and see!

I have used this app for quite some time as brown noise at night to help me sleep. It was simple & easy to use. I just did the update & now it will not connect to my Bluetooth speaker. All other apps with sound will but for some reason this does not recognize it. I’m going to have to find another app to use until this is fixed. Please fix it soon as I relied on this app each night. Thank you! I’ll be happy to give this five stars when this is fixed.
