1. ★★★★★timer too short or playback cuts out

   Was GREAT until update!. This app worked beautifully for YEARS!!! I could turn it on and it would play ocean sounds all night long. After a recent update, It no longer works the same way. I try to schedule it to play for 12 hours and it will turn off after an hour. It used to always remember that I wanted it to play for an extended amount of time, now I have to set it at that time EACH night before bed. Please go back to the way it was before! It worked so well and now it doesn’t work at all.

2. ★★★★★limited sound variety and short loop

   Waste of money. There only seems to be two recordings of wave sounds. Neither is normal wave sounds. Hard to believe I wasted money on this.

3. ★★★★★surprise charges and no-cancel policy

   They IMMEDIATELY charge you. I wanted to simply try this app out, so I downloaded and agreed to a 7 day free trial, but was immediately charged $25. Incredibly deceptive and I would give minus stars if I could.

4. ★★★★★technical bugs and offline issues

   No sound what’s the point?. I hit the play button and I don’t hear any sound. So what exactly did I pay for?

5. ★★★★★surprise charges and no-cancel policy

   No cancellations??. I bought this app for a vacation with a baby so I purchased the monthly plan expecting to cancel it. Apparently, no refunds or cancellations are allowed. What on Earth is that nonsense?!

6. ★★★★★technical bugs and offline issues

   Quit working. Quit working

   Ocean waves app.. I have used this app several times and not had any issues with it. Last night I turned it on and this morning I cannot shut it off. I’ve even tried deleting the app and reinstalling it and that’s not working. Could you give me any suggestions as to how do I get rid of the sound? Thanks You didn’t answer my question with your reviews how do you shut it off once it’s running refuse to shut off and I had to delete the app and then reinstall it and subsequently I’m afraid to use it.

   Does nothing. No sounds

9. ★★★★★surprise charges and no-cancel policy

   Used to use this app daily… now not so much. Changed to one star because it’s 7.99 for the paid version. Very disappointed. 😔 my previous review from 3 years ago was 5 stars…Love the app. It does the job well. Please make a paid version so I can get rid of the ads! I would also like a longer timer- up to 2 hours. Thanks

    No good have to paid. No good have to paid

11. ★★★★★surprise charges and no-cancel policy

    Just don’t love it. Title says it all.

    Ads That Won’t Go Away. I enjoyed this app for a few weeks when one or two ads would start popping up that I could cancel. Then it started showing me ads that there was no way to get rid of and even in turning the app off I still had the background noise on my phone. I had to do a restart on my phone to get rid of the ads.

13. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Ads. After a while of using it it would show a add then i would turn my phone off and the sound will stop.

14. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Can’t Remove App. I can’t remove the app!

15. ★★★★★limited sound variety and short loop

    The timer doesn’t work.. I paid $7.99 specifically for the timer function and it doesn’t work. Very disappointed. The ocean sound is pretty, but not for the WHOLE night.

16. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Subscribed by mistake. Searches for beach waves and didn’t see a price so I thought it was free. When I hit the get button, it said payment confirmed. I did not intend to do that and I’m not sure what it cost me. Does anyone know how to delete this?

17. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Timer Ruins This App. There is a new timer which needs to allow users to set their own time up to 12 hours. I used to sleep all night to the relaxing ocean waves sound from this app but now it maxes out at 59 minutes. Sorry to delete this app but I need consistent sound for 8 hours otherwise it was great and relaxing. It used to be 5 Star but now it’s 1 Star.

18. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Not satisfied. This app is not even playing

19. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Just Stops working. I downloaded this app two months ago for our newborn. I love it up until today, when it won’t keep playing. It help my baby fall asleep at night and stay asleep longer. It would play all night on our iPad. Today I can’t keep it playing. It is random in its play length from 1 minute to 15 but not just shuts off waking my baby!! So frustrating! If you would have asked me yesterday I would have given 5 stars.. not today.... very sad and frustrated customer. It also throws adds in now too today was the first for that.

20. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Ruined. This was a good free app. It’s is now ruined by corny shouty ads. I would pay for this but £1 is the max price for looping a single ocean wave recording. Deleting.

21. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Missing timer. I really wanted to love this as I bought the full version for my iPad, but it’s missing the count down timer and only shows the picture of a beach. I’m disappointed.

22. ★★★★★intrusive ads interrupt sleep

    Commercials. You download this app as a means to wind down for the evening and boom commercials. Ridiculous

23. ★★★★★timer too short or playback cuts out

    Sounds nice… but…. The sound is great, but the timer doesn’t work. It never shuts off, even in when I paid for it…

24. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    One sound. No choices.. Bought this thinking there would be a variety of Ocean Sounds. What a disappointment. And what a scam. I guess that was an impulse buy on my part because I was desperate for sleep sounds, but was too hasty

25. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Too predictable -. Too robotic

26. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    WASTE OF TIME.. One pitiful wave sound?!! DON'T BOTHER.

27. ★★★★★helps fall asleep

    Plays waves but stops too early. Played maybe for 10min then I had to Pause/Play to work

28. ★★★★★technical bugs and offline issues

    Not too smart. After purchasing and using for 2 days we went on a cruise. The second day at sea the app decided that I needed to purchase it again. Apparently it needs to have the internet to remember it was already purchased. After getting back to port and connecting to the internet it remembered that it was purchased.

29. ★★★★★intrusive ads interrupt sleep

    No more adds. Get rid of the adds and make it free for everyone to have a good experience

30. ★★★★★intrusive ads interrupt sleep

    Amazing!! But…. This app is amazing but it will ask you to pay but you have the option to not pay but over all this app is amazing! But over time it will give you adds
