1. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes

   Glitchy, sounds shut off randomly. I’ve been using the free version of this app for years. I just want rain and ocean. Nothing fancy. But recently, it started up with ad pop ups and now it’s super glitchy. The sounds shut off randomly and I have to fiddle with it for several frustrating minutes to work every night. I’m ready to buy a sound machine and give up. And no, I’m not upgrading this glitchy piece of garbage. I don’t want all the bells and whistles. Just the basics please, with no hassle.

   Dog barking. Why on earth would they ruin a lovely forest night with cicadas and crickets with a DOG BARKING!!! Who can sleep with a dog barking all night?!!! Not to mention it made MY dogs bark. I loved it besides that. Too bad.

3. ★★★★★loud ads interrupt and wake you up

   Ads are horrible!!!. Loud loud ads on a program designed to help you sleep, when you click on anything! The app has some nice features. I’ve had it for years, but lately the ads are completely ridiculous. I start it when I go to bed and sometimes I need to adjust the volume on a sound after a bit and BLAM super loud ad waking up my wife, and of course with those impossible to close buttons. I honestly don’t recall if I ever paid to remove the ads, had it for a long time, but they definitely make the app unusable now. Also, it would be nice to be able to save sound/volume combinations. I always had it play Rain, Storm, and Wind but with Storm and Wind way lower, but it always resets them back up.

4. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

   Update asks for money. Run!!. Had this for three years. Updated now is asking for money when I’ve had those same sounds for free for years. RIP-OFF!

5. ★★★★★other

   Great. Hey wut I meant to say was trash like if there was a 0 it would that u have to pay for everything and that’s really annoying do just don’t get this look for white noise that is 10 times better your welcome

6. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes

   Glitchy and Rude. I have used this app since 2015. A week or so ago, I opened it and found that it was trying to charge me a second time for the extra sounds/no ads package that I had bought several years ago. I received no response. I emailed again, suggesting that if I did not receive a response I would get a lawyer involved because I do not appreciate not receiving a service that I paid for. Rory, the developer, sent me a rude email in response that did not actually give me a solution to continue using the app with the features I had paid for. With so many sleep sounds options on the market, I will switch to one where I feel respected and don’t have to threaten legal action to get a response to what I had assumed would be a minor problem.

   Terrible. Terrible

8. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

   In app purchases. I paid in app purchase in the past and now I don’t see option to restore the purchase. It seems like they try to make me to pay again to unlock something that has been paid

9. ★★★★★loud ads interrupt and wake you up

   Adds pop up. I'm not going to buy this app, so stop making the ads pop up! We are already inundated by advertising. Either make it free or not. No ads!!! Erasing this app now.

10. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes

    The perfect app to crash your tablet every 40 seconds. If you are searching for the perfect holiday app to guaranteed crash your iPad within 40 seconds, you've come to the right place. I bought the upgrade! Yay me!! Total waste. Look elsewhere. Do yourself a favor.

11. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

    Waste of effort. Not worth the space needed to download. Do not upgrade is a rip off.

12. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

    One star you ask?. I push the "get" button thinking the app is free but I may have to purchase an "in-app" addition later? That's what I thought anyway. Then I get charged 2.99 for the ?? This is confusing, and damaging. Give me a "free" button or a "2.99" button.... Make up your mind. Oh, and by the way, I want a refund please.

13. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes

    Not responsive. M

14. ★★★★★other

    Lame. They barely give you any sounds and the ones on there are not good, much less of good quality. Then they keep bugging you with adds to pay 99 cents for very few crappy sounds. Uninstalling. There are better sound apps out there.

15. ★★★★★mixing and layering sounds

    Sounds do not loop. There is a 1 second silence every minute or so which is very annoying even when sounds are layered. I didn't notice until after I bought the full version. Please fix this for a 5 star rating from me.

16. ★★★★★loud ads interrupt and wake you up

    No stop button. Have to turn off all the sounds before the noise will stop. Needs a stop/start button. Multiple full page ads. Uninstall.

17. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

    Updated and lost free access. I’ve been using this app forever. I decided to update and it was a big mistake. I know people have to make money but to lock the other two screen options after providing them for free for years was extremely disappointing. 5 stars before the update. *sad sleeper* ☹️☹️

18. ★★★★★other

    Ok. I can not sleep it is so annoying

19. ★★★★★other

    Was better before. The app was great before it was changed. It WAS worth five stars...

20. ★★★★★other

    Sleep sounds. Not happy with limited sounds.

21. ★★★★★other

    Can't sleep. At the sound loop of the ambient noise it sounds like some one is walking Across hardwood floor in high heels !

22. ★★★★★loud ads interrupt and wake you up

    Simply great. Quite honestly the best free ambient noise app. Occasional ad if you don't upgrade, but honestly worth upgrading just to support excellent software.

23. ★★★★★other

    Relaxing. Haven't really tried yet, the reviews sounded good. I hope it helps me to sleep at night.

24. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes

    Pretty Bad app. All it does is crash it doesn't play the sound for at least 5min.

25. ★★★★★other

    Too many adds. I love this app but too many adds

26. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

    Comments Below. I wish it had a one time price to unlock all sounds vs a monthly sub.

27. ★★★★★mixing and layering sounds

    Thx! But, I Have A New One.... I see that you have read my previous review! Thx for doing that! No app that I have ever written a review for has not yet responded. Anyway, I see that you fixed the loading screen! But that night, I went to my mom and dad’s room and they downloaded a better one for me. I forgot what it’s called but you can create mixes of up to 6 sounds and all sounds are free! I am currently listening to my usual, forest (Birds In A Forest), river (River In Scotland), and fire (Crackling Fireplace). I loved this app but I may use the new one a bit more and see which one I like better. Thank you for reading! If you have questions or concerns, please let me know via response to this review! Stay home, stay safe, and WEAR A MASK 😷!

28. ★★★★★asked to pay again after an update

    Upgrade did not update. I purchased the ONE TIME FEE to get all the sounds, but with the recent upgrade for bug fixes, it now says I have to purchase it AGAIN. The upgrade did not update.

29. ★★★★★other

    Multiple devices. I payed the extra fee , but i could not use it in another one of my ipad or iphone

30. ★★★★★app freezes and crashes
