An editorial reading of the saved reviews

BetterSleep is a strong sound mixer with a flexible timer and a broad library, but the abrupt move of previously free presets behind a paywall destroyed loyalty among longtime users. The product itself sounds good when you have access.

What people use it for

People willing to pay for a custom personal sound backdrop builder

What reviews praise

The ability to blend multiple sounds into one preset and save it is a unique mechanic among competitors.

What reviews complain about

There is no guarantee that a sound you have gotten used to will still be in the free tier tomorrow.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I've always loved this app- i've used sounds to mix together my perfect mix to sleep to. Now all of the four sounds i've mixed together are all premium, and I've been forced to switch to a new app after being loyal to this one for years.

I definitely recommend this app to anyone that needs white noise or thunder storms or anything else to sleep! The only thing I say is that it's kind of annoying that I will waste my battery while I sleep! But overall it's great!
