   Inappropriate ads. I got rid of this app because the ads on the bottom were inappropriate. I hadn't paid any attention to the ads and used the app for for while. Tonight I went to turn on the white noise and saw a bunch of inappropriate stuff on the bottom. Not cool! Do not recommend this app!

   Need support. I used it every single night. However now my speaker on my iPhone is blown out (the top one) !!!!!! It happened when I started used this app every night specifically the thunder!!!! I need someone to contact me because now every sound on my phone is crackled.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Only a few sounds. It says over 70 sounds but that’s a lie. Yeah it has the sounds in multiple categories, but they’re the exact same sounds duplicated. There are multiple storm buttons, but they all sound exactly the same and you can’t space them out so the thunder hits at different times. Also, it mutes a bit when the thunder hits. If you are looking for something to drown out snoring, this is not it! And the sounds are on such a quick repeat that it gives me headaches. I used this app because my actual sound machine broke and I was hoping an app would suffice, but no. Don’t waste your space.

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Timer Doesn’t Work. I can’t believe people complain about the timer not working and still rate this app a four or five star. I’m rating it a one star because the main reason I downloaded the app was to be able to set a timer to go to sleep at night. But the timer does not work and the app does not stop and continues running all night long. Please fix timer function!

   Loved it till today. Been using it for a while. App turns off now when my screen times out. It’s never done that. Please fix. I use this during counselors sessions with my clients to call the mood.

6. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Great app but…. Today the app stopped working in the background. Was great before that.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Used to be good. This app used to work as it should, playing all sound options for unlimited amounts of time. Now, there are ads and when they creep up 3 seconds after starting the app, the sounds turn off permanently. I don’t know if these ads are a new thing or if they’ve always been there. Regardless, I deleted this now useless app.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Different from android. The android has more opinions with sounds and vibrations. Wish iOS would update!

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Now shuts off randomly. I used to enjoy using this app... it had soothing sounds and performed well. But now, the app is shutting off those sounds at random times. It appears to coincide with certain banner as changes, or when the screen times out. The new timer is set to 23 hours, so that’s not the issue. New “updates” have made this app progressively less reliable. What good is a relaxation app that randomly shuts off?! Disappointing, as this has been my go-to for a long time. Guess it’s time to pull out my sleep machine again.

10. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    inappropriate ads. Start inappropriate ads, removed.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Was my favorite until.... Political ads while trying to fall asleep. No thanks !

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Trump re-election messages. App deleted. ✌🏻

13. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    It’s not working?. If I exit the app it runs, but if I play something else on top of it, it stops working. This isn’t a software problem either because I didn’t update my phone.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Quits. Every. Time.. Not sure when the app was last updated. Quits every time using iOS 13.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes. I loved this app, but then I got a new phone and once I redownloaded it, it keeps crashing. Whenever I click on one of the sounds It just crashes.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Crashes all the time. Want to wake up 5x a night to turn the white noise back on cause the app crashed AGAIN? Then this is the app for you.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Beware. Excessive collection of user data and sharing with 3rd parties.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Timer does not work. Timer does not end sound when time is up. Tested for 1 minute and it worked. Tried 1 hour and it was still producing sound 4 hours later. Bummer.

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not A Great App. It could have been a good app. The sounds are pretty good. However, the timer doesn’t work correctly. Once auto-lock kicks in on the iPhone, the timer stops working, and the app continues to run and doesn’t turn off. I sent an email to support, but they never responded. For anyone considering purchasing the app to get rid of the ads, it may not be a good idea. I already wasted money to get rid of the ads. If I knew the timer didn’t work correctly, I would not have paid the money that I did.

20. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    All sounds at once. Are you not able to bring up all the sounds playing at one? I have to scroll through all the pages to find what’s on? Wish I’d known that before I spent the money.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Timer issues. Was working great till last update now timer will not shut off app runs all night

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stopped working in the background. All of a sudden the sound only works when the app is open on my screen but if I try and open a second app and try and keep it on in the background it stops.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No longer works. I used to use this every night until recently it won’t play while my phone is locked. Now it won’t even play anything.

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Starts great, however.... When I started using this app, it was perfect. I could blend the sounds I wanted and it worked beautifully. Then the talking started. This is your Calm... I tried to shut if off, but there is no way I could find. So, rather than slipping off to sleep I ended up frustrated that I had to listen to something I had no interest in. So, I downloaded a different app that is okay, but not as good as this one. But, I don’t have to listen to Calm messages. Hint, if that’s what I wanted, I would have downloaded Calm.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Works but different frequencies for iPhone vs Android. Gf has this on her phone. I liked it so I dl to my iPhone X. We have different frequencies for the mental side. Plus most these sounds are pretty generic. Whoever found the audio for the owl needs to spend some time on YouTube cus it’s pathetic. Same with the 4 different sounds for rain which all sound like the waterfall. Works, but don’t be fooled by the 7 different pages of sounds. They all are pretty much the same if you check them or just straight weird. I use it nightly but it’s mostly cus it’s all free and I’m too lazy to hunt down another one. Would give 2.5 star at best. But round down to make these reviews more accurate

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Limit of 6 sounds is unreasonable. I paid to remove ads and thought maybe I would also remove the cap of 6 sounds, but no. The arbitrary limit is stuck with you for good.

27. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Stops and starts. The app occasionally will stop and then jarringly start at full volume a few minutes later, waking me up

28. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Need alarm fix. I like the app. However, I have reminder alarms on my phone. When an alarm goes off, the app does not continue to play. It remains stopped. I have to navigate into my favorites and restart the app. It would be nice if the app would continue to play after an alarm goes off. If that gets fixed, 5 stars.

29. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Only half of binaural work. The first 6 working fine. The remaining are in mono. Please fix this. Also, there are other frequencies that should be considered when updating such as 3.785, 4, 5, & 7 Hz.

30. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bruh. My audio keeps braking up Please fix your app
