Doesn’t work. Brown noise doesn’t work! It was the only sound I liked on this app and now it is silent.
- ★★★★★ads in app
Porn ads. Very disappointed that a porn ad came up at the bottom of the app page. Deleting for that purpose.
- ★★★★★apple watch app
Watch app is useless. Not sure what the point of shipping an Apple Watch version of this app is. You start playing a soundtrack, and it immediately stops when you put your wrist down. Doesn’t play in the background over connected headphones as one would expect.

Apple Watch bug?. I got this app for my Apple Watch (Watch OS 8.4), but it turns stops playing every time the screen turns off! This doesn’t happen with any other Watch apps or with this app on my phone. The developer website doesn’t work to get support. It’s a shame because it sounds amazing but it doesn’t do what I need it too.
- ★★★★★update bugs
Used to love this app. I used to use this app everyday to meditate with brown/white noise. They spelled brown wrong and added an annoying clicking sound to it. Way to mess it all up just to change the colors of the interface.

Bad update.. The new update is not very good. The old version worked better. Also, it’s BROWN not brawn.
- ★★★★★update bugs
New update made app unusable. Odd clicking and rattling noises disrupt the sounds. Why would you think people want to hear extra random noises? Fan noise is different now and awful. Baffling. Please revert back to the old sounds.
- ★★★★★update bugs
Warning- no more pink noise. The latest update deletes pink noise as an option- so odd, since pink noise is widely viewed as best for sleep. If you use pink noise, update at your own risk. Update: there is a terrible clicking in the loop for “brawn” noise as well. Deleted.

Update disaster. Used this app everyday for more than a year. Sadly this new update, the fan sound is terrible. What happened guys?
- ★★★★★sleep timer broken
New design doesn’t work please fix it. Used to be the best app for white noise now it keeps crashing, buttons are way to big it’s impossible to scroll down. Please fix the design.

New design is horrible. I liked the old design much better. This new design doesn’t work properly. Brown noise has ticking in the background which is super annoying and can’t use anymore which was my go too. Have to get a new app now…

BACKGROUND PLAY STOPPED WORKING. I was using this app for a little while to help me sleep, it did the job. Suddenly today it will not continue to work when I lock my screen! Making it useless... Very disappointed.

Drains battery life. This app drains phone battery very quickly, at least when connected to wifi
- ★★★★★sleep timer broken
Timer doesn’t work. The timer option doesn’t work 99% of the time. Plays all night long not just the 30 minutes it is set for. Tried all different ways and still wants to play all night. Did help with going to sleep but wakes me up in the middle of the night because it’s still playing.

Hate the update!. Used to love this app. Pleasing sounds, that you can mix and match, easy to use interface, then an update became available… when the app loads, the screen no longer responds consistently to my touch. I can’t scroll to look at all the sound options. I touch the screen and drag down as you do in scrolling and nothing happens. Try again, nothing. Eventually, after multiple attempts, it responds, but as soon as I lift my finger I am back to fighting the screen to scroll. It didn’t do this in the earlier version of the app.
- ★★★★★update bugs
Woah! Bad update!. What happened? Why is there now weird clicking noises? And now the scroll is broken, things are misspelled…. Huge step backwards. I really depended on this app and now it’s broken. I’m devastated. Please put it all back to how it was!

timer does not work. I set the timer to 30 minutes, fell asleep, woke up 5 hours later, app was still running. Deleted.
- ★★★★★ads in app
Nice app, bad ads. I’m all for free speech and personal liberty, but showing porn ads is classless. Do better.
- ★★★★★update bugs
Good but flawed. I got this app a while ago and really like it in a lot of ways. The sound quality is pretty good, and the interface is nice and simple, but there are a few things I really don’t like. * Ads. It doesn’t matter too much because I don’t spend time looking at the app, but given the option, I’d much rather pay a couple of dollars as a one-time purchase to get rid of the ads. * Sound pauses whenever other sound is played. I wish there were an option to override that. Sometimes I play the white noise on my iPad while browsing, and if I accidentally start playing a video, the white noise stops, and I have to reopen the app and start it playing again. That problem is made worse by the fact that… * It gets stuck on pause/stop. If the sound is stopped, it’s common to get into a state where it won’t start again. It doesn’t matter if it’s paused by me pressing the pause button or by another sound playing, it won’t start playing again until I completely close the app out. * It only supports portrait mode. Like I said, I have it on my iPad, and when I open the app, it’s always stuck in portrait mode. It won’t rotate the display if I’m using the iPad in landscape mode. This didn’t used to be the case, but the screen rotation seems to have been broken in a recent update. I have an iPad Pro M2 running the latest iPadOS.

Love on iPhone, hate on Watch. Another recent reviewer also made a similar observation. It's only occupying memory space.

Surprisingly Useful. I guess it works pretty good. Better on iOS than anything else. The Android will make you angry. Locks up and sometimes just shuts off on its own. This app saves the day sometimes tho. I have bad tinnitus and it really helps!

Good!!!. It was very good but how do we make our own

Updated review- volume controls on screen broken, sometimes app crashes to desktop. Well, it was good for a while folks. App provided nice sounds, no ads (which isn’t a dealbreaker, just a nice bonus) used at again today and crashes out to home screen/desktop after a few seconds, along with banner ads at the bottom that cover up controls. Coincidence? A uninstall and reinstall seemed to fix, but now the individual volume sliders on the effects are broken, you have to use the control panel at the bottom. No ads again. Weird, maybe something to do with ads loading screws something up? Anyway app seems to work for now half way, but like a lot of other apps that start out good, you get concerned that it’s just going to become ad infested unusable hot garbage down the line...
- ★★★★★sleep timer broken
I like this app, but….. This app is pretty good except every 3-4 days it gets a little wonky. It will not play for the time you set for it, but it’ll play through the entire night. Then I have to d/c the app, wait a day then open it again. If they could fit that, they’d get a 5. 🙂

Nice app but one complaints. Ok so I have a problem with stress. The app is good but I feel like bedtime stories would be even better but other than that great app Thank you

Décent. This app is pretty good. It halos me sleep when there is no fan, however it can be a bit laggy at times.
- ★★★★★helps sleep and focus
Really good but there is one main problem. Okay so this app is really amazing because there is a lot of customization and you can even save sounds. On the other hand, every time I turn on or unpause the WhiteNoise, it turns on a forest sound with out saying that the forest sound is on. Its really annoying but that’s really the only problem I've ran into with this app.

Love it but 1 complaint. I love this app it helps me sleep soundly I used to listen to a podcast but this is way better. I wanted to listen to the podcast and not go to sleep. My only suggestion would be let us dealete the favs that we didn’t fav at the beginning. So if you are have inv a hard tim sleeping I recommend this app.

It’s good!. Pretty good! Seems to drain battery when running.

Okay. I think it’s a great app. I love the sounds and the mixing feature, I just wish that the save feature actually worked. The sounds I save just get deleted when I close the app.
