Purchased app no longer valid. I purchased this app in 2020 when we had our first baby and used it for a few years even after our second. Great app and sounds. I went to use it in Feb 2026 and it says I have to pay $59 for lifetime use. I think if I already paid to purchase the extra features once, I shouldn’t have to pay again, not to mention more than 3x more than what I already paid last time.

Suddenly charging $60/year, thanks.. I paid for the app years ago. Now it’s a subscription?

Selfish. I’ve been using this app for years, and had 5 of my own mixes created to help me sleep. I go into the app to use it, and the company locked most of the sounds and you now have to pay money. There are 100 sounds and now you can only use 16 so 84% of the sounds are behind a paywall. ABSOLUTELY APPALLED.
- ★★★★★app crashes and stops playing at night
Randomly stops playing. Randomly stops playing and when I exit the app and go back in it just flashes when I choose something to play. Not awesome when it happens in the middle of the night while I’m trying to get a child back to bed

The app is great. I purchased the app in 2019. I’ve had on my device in my iCloud account since then. My new phone. Same iCloud account. I redownload all my apps and now I have to pay $2 after I already paid for the app years ago. Full price. All my sound mixes showed up, purchased restored…. But now I have to pay? Seems like a scam or fraud to me. Charge people. Then change it to a subscription fee later. $2 a month. $24 a year. From every other person with the same situation. I wonder how that adds up?

Deceived. I paid for the app. When I downloaded a second time on my phone, I’m being required to pay again in order to be able to listen to all of the sounds. After you download it, leave it alone. I had to delete it because I didn’t have enough memory on my phone. However, after you paid the whole fee for it, you shouldn’t be required to pay again.

Bug. Bug! I now can’t access the shush, it’s overlapped with the record tab. I don’t know what’s going on! I need shushing!

Payment. I paid lifetime but it doesn’t work.

Don’t update. Update got rid of a lot of free sounds

No response from customer service on mistaken purchase. I accidentally purchased this app - I downloaded the free version initially and the option to purchase repeatedly popped up on my screen. I accidentally touched the screen when the purchase option was present and somehow Apple Pay went to work without me purposely choosing to purchase the app. I emailed customer service about my mistaken purchase twice and never received a response.

This app costs $8. Hidden behind IAP.. Most of the app is locked until you pay $8. But they don’t want to have the app cost $8 up front because that’s just silly, so it’s an IAP.

Not free!!. If you want any actually sounds you have to pay 8.99!!
- ★★★★★relentless review prompts
Annoying pop up. Listen - this app is probably my most used app on my phone with a 7 month old at home. I paid to unlock everything. But in the last few weeks it has a pop up begging for a rating right before I click the white noise button. Delaying me that much further when I have a baby on the verge of waking up. Program the prompt for after the selection, not before. Or - better yet - don’t ask for reviews from people that have paid to unlock everything.

Free app is 1 of 1000 others. The paid app might be okay but the free version is useless compared to the 1000 other, better sleep sound apps.
- ★★★★★free version has very few unlocked sounds
High frequency noise. I bought the full app with the hope of accessing some lower pitched white noise (deep rumbly sound, like a large waterfall a mile away), which is the best for sleep. Unfortunately, even the deepest white noise in this app is too high pitched -- I listened to all of them. I would have happily just contacted the app developers to get my money back instead of leaving a review, but instead of just providing an email address, the app forces me to interact with Apple's built-in email platform.

Wow. You get like 10 sounds for free. Anything else pay 4.99. Might as well just advertise it as $4.99. Dumb micro transaction app once again.
- ★★★★★free version has very few unlocked sounds
Pay to play. There are some sounds available for free, but none of them are soothing. Any of the reasonable sounds, and all of the “shushing” sounds require 4.99 to unlock. I admit it’s not much money, but I don’t appreciate the bait and switch App deleted

Owner plz help. I made payment to unlock sounds but even after receiving payment confirmation mail, sounds have not been unlocked. Don’t know, where should I complain about it.
- ★★★★★app crashes and stops playing at night
Sounds Don’t Work. I purchased this app and the premium sounds don’t work!
- ★★★★★sound mixing and variety
It’s crap.. After getting my THIRD- “developer just responded to your review” notification AFTER THE FACT..... Rewording this. There are not many FREE sounds. There’s a very audible click (just as MANY other reviews ALSO state) when the noises cycle on their loop. It also is NOT a continuous play. It will play for a few hours and then cut out. How do I know this? Because my 9 month old wakes me up each time it cuts off! Any new parents at their wits end desperately searching for an app.. Don’t bother wasting your time. I downloaded another free app, RelaxMelodies, instead that doesn’t cut off. (And NO, I’m NOT changing the wording of that because that is PART OF HOW A REVIEW WORKS). Developers comments and updates STILL are snobbish and insistent on talking down to me as if I don’t understand how a phone battery works or alarms. Wowwwww... FYI, people still use ALARM CLOCKS. Especially when they’re sleep deprived parents not wanting to disturb their baby! My iPhone is left CHARGING in night mode with do-not-disturb settings. When it is set to loop (EVEN WITH YOUR PHONE PLUGGED INTO YOUR CHARGER) after awhile the app DOES randomly stop. So, if you have a sensitive sleeper like I do, you will be awoken each and every time throughout the night! Very glad I did not pay for this app! Literally, the ONLY thing running on my phone was their dumb app that kept stopping and clicking. I’m a recently UNEMPLOYED (quit to EBF) Stay-At-Home-Mom that gains absolutely nothing from my HONEST review except for a better nights sleep from NOT USING this app! -July 27 edit- And it’s now MONTHS after my initial comment, but.. here we are, yet AGAIN, with another email alert at 0130 this morning with the seller continually re-editing their comment saying the SAME thing.

Not working, requesting refund. Just purchased all sounds. Clicking on different sounds and nothing.
- ★★★★★app soothes babies and children
stop asking me to rate your stupid app. Any app that relentlessly asks me to rate it gets an automatic 1 star. STOP IT. I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID RATING.
- ★★★★★relentless review prompts
Great app except for one thing. I don't appreciate when I'm at 👶 defcon 4 and I go to open the app, and it pesters me to rate it on the app store. All the while, I've got screaming baby in one hand, fumbling at the app with the other. To be clear, I bought all the in app purchases. What more can you ask for? A review? Well, here you go.
- ★★★★★relentless review prompts
Great app, asked too many times for a review. I understand they want me to rate the app but for real...don't ask me EVERY time I open the app.
- ★★★★★app soothes babies and children
Asks for review too often. The fact that this app asks for a review every time I open it is so frustrating. Most times I have a crying baby and the fact a review button pops up every time is ridiculous. I paid for this app it should not have pop ups to review it every time.
- ★★★★★sound mixing and variety
One star for asking me to write a review everyday. One star for asking me to write a review everyday I already paid $3 for the app.
- ★★★★★app soothes babies and children
Stop Review Nagging. I want to use your app, not close a modal dialogue all the time.
- ★★★★★relentless review prompts
Stop asking me to rate you. Stop
- ★★★★★app soothes babies and children
Great concept.... Except you literally have to pay for everything. The only lullabies unlocked are from Spain (really?). Nice bait and switch though!
- ★★★★★free version has very few unlocked sounds
Please be careful. All, Please do not use this throughout the night for your child. White noise blocks out natural noises and slows the development of your child's hearing. Developing humans are designed to analyze natural variable sounds, not a repeating sound wave. It is more than fine to use to help your child fall asleep but do not keep this running throughout the night. Please do your research before using this product.
