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

   Full of spam and porn. The app is effective, and the white noise is good, but the ads and the pornography is not a good thing. This is one of those apps that shoves pop-ups and payments in your face through the entire process. It’s horrible.

2. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Ruined by the "new subscription option". Have had this app for about a year and it was perfect. The sound restarted itself if there was an interruption by an incoming text or other function. Now you have to open it back up and X the screen to subscribe monthly or yearly to get the noise on again. Not worth paying for so I'm deleting it. It was nice while it lasted.

   THEY CHANGED MY FAN. been using this app for years and always fall asleep to the fan sound but they changed it today and now it sounds more static wooshy and has little TINKS IN IT which completely ruined it. I need consistent noice and the little tinks ruin that. I am so sad. I need to find a new white noise app for the second time now 😭

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Was five up until tonight. Ive been listening to this for 4 or 5 years. I was trying to go to sleep and this creepy laugh in the background started talking to me. I asked it a question I thought it might be a glitch or something, but she answered back accurate to my question and she seemed like a real person. Im so creeped out right now

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

   Big layers. All apps free only 5 song Not good quality Not good option 😩😩😩 only man you need money Not free

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

   I hear people talking on each of these pre-recorded noise tapes.. You’ll at times during the night, you’ll be awaken by hearing people’s voices, sometimes groups of people talking.

   Thanks. Great app for meditation!

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

   White noise app. After initial setup the test of sound was pleasing, however when I tried to return to the settings for creation of a timed setting I could not find the proper place. Tried unsuccessfully for several minutes to get to the proper place and gave up. You need to work on usability. Am now deleting the app.

9. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Stay away. This app manipulates settings on your phone, turns things on and off without permission. If it’s blatantly doing that, who knows what else it’s up to that you can’t see.

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paying for noise ? Stupid. Thumbs down 👎🏻

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

    Can’t shot off the website. ???

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

    Stop the delay. Every time I start the app, it delays by asking a few questions. Very inconvenient when I’m reaching for quick white noise with child in my arms.

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

    Way to difficult to figure out. If you want something simple and easy to set up and use, this is not the app to try.

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

    Cuts off. Continues to cut off while activated. Will awaken you.

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

    Yeah thanx for yet another app I have to turn my iPad around for.. I am sick to death of apps that “force” me to change from landscape to portrait mode, the latter of which I **never** use. I deleted this one the second I saw this. I resent being treated like a 2nd class citizen. I usually ignore this and just delete. But today I’m taking a stand. If I don’t see “preview” screenshots that include at least one landscape view, I’ll just pass. So, developers of this one, you gonna take the easy way out or make some changes? Somehow, I doubt that very much.

16. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Why is it pasting from my clipboard?. Since upgrading to iOS 14, the OS shows when you paste anything into an app; and every time I open this app it is pasting whatever is in my clipboard into itself. What is it looking for? Who is it reporting to? Has it been doing this for years and I’ve never known? This seems pretty insidious, the trust is broken, and I need to go find a new white noise generator that won’t spy on me.

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

    White noise. Helps me sleep when it is on but shuts off after a few minutes even tho I said none to shut off. Very frustrating when using it for sleep

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

    Gremlins. App keeps turning itself off. Or alternatively turns on music or videos from other sources. Or opens the ad on the bottom of the screen automatically. Does NOT help induce sleep!

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

    Stupid. Not easy to use or understand....thousands find out how stupid it is everyday.

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

    REMOVE THE ADS. They were not there when I bought this and Rain apps..

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

    BE AWARE. They steal your information

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

    Nags. Automatic one star for apps that keep nagging me to review them.

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

    Crackling wakes me up. I can’t understand why it has to keep cracking over the speakers of my phone. It’s so loud it wakes me up or stops me from falling asleep

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

    Unusable at night. Ads keep popping up in the middle of the night and waking us up. Completely unusable for sleeping.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    The app is great but the ads defeat the point of paying. Remove the ads and you'll get the five stars you deserve. Don't bug your PAYING customers with forced ads. It ruins the interface and makes it look terrible. Update: A year has gone by since an update and we still have ads!

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

    Constant pop ups. I like one sound on this app but there is a pop up ad when you try to do anything. Not worth it.

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

    This app is awful. It doesn't even deserve one star!

28. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Trying to sell you stuff!. This app is just trying to get paid & is very aggressive in doing that. I deleted within minutes.

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

    Ads take you right out of the app. Supported by ads, and there's nothing wrong with that, but they are the low quality ads "you won..." and others that don't wait for you to tap the ad before taking you out of the app to download the advertiser's app.

30. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    Ads, more ads, all while draining your battery.. The app comes with 4 prerecorded noise, all but the pink noise you can find on any ambient sound collection. It serves TONS of ads, ads by the developer each time you launch, add by the developer randomly why you have it open, and then a scrolling banner ad for everything else from soap to just about anything else. The app seems , so it can display its ads ?, also seems to keep your phone from locking and power down the screen for some time. I saw my screen start to go dim several times for a brief instant then go back to full brightness without me touching it. This went on for about 30 minutes... The app had promise but the tons ads and only 4 sounds which are just 'ok' at best I'll likely be deleting this app shortly.
