I put it on brown noise, but out of nowhere it goes into this loud annoying white noise that is 10 times louder. It has woken me up several times. It's suppose to help me sleep, but it does the opposite. Also, the fan sound does not sound like a fan and it skips every 30 seconds. Cannot sleep with the constant clicking.
Helps me relax. But I bought the app and it still starts with an ad even though it quickly hides. Plus unless I have the timer set, it randomly goes off then back on but to a louder noise... defeating the purpose.. Other than that, it's easy to use, the sounds are great and I use every night. Makes me want to invest in an actual noise maker.
I have been searching for a replacement since my nerelco machine broke. I grew up in the country, but live in a duplex in town now. Ear plugs alone didn't help. I still wear them though and crank up the pink noise with my phone plugged in to a speaker. This is a great app, plays all night for the light sleeper. I am thinking about the upgrade, but unless there is something louder, I am satisfied.
First off, the good: Noise quality and variety are good. The bad: Even after paying for "no ads", you still get a pop-up ad every time you close the app. Sounds clip out about every 9 seconds. Ultimately these two issues take what has potential to be a five-star app and turn it into something frustrating and useless.
UPDATE: i bought the ads free upgrade hoping that maybe the upgrade worked better. I'm still getting ads. The sounds are good but there are still major problems with this app. I will not raise the rating beyond the one star. END UPDATE. Works well but won't stay on sound selected. Keeps going off then restarts with an obnoxiously loud sound that startles us awake. If it weren't for this I would give it a 5 rating, but this is way to big of a problem to give it more thana single star. Please fix this.
This app preforms it's function as a noise generator good enough that I was willing to pay the $0.99 the app asks for to remove the very obtrusive adds. The problem is that, while it does remove the in app banner adds, it does not remove very annoying and obtrusive pop-ups and add redirecting the happens when you exit the app and set a sleep timer.
Of all the apps I've tried for sound machines, this has the best sounds, but it has one flaw that I can't get past. Whenever I have the brown noise on (my favorite), it'll stop and switch to white noise out of nowhere. That makes the app completely useless to me.
Opens ads during any interaction and program close, making use of the program very difficult and annoying. Doesn't scale correctly on high resolution tablet making buttons too small. Most sounds are perceived as too high pitched due to small device speakers, and need to be better mixed. Only positive compared to other apps is smooth looping without noticeable gaps.
I like that it allows me to use other apps and runs as a service so I can easily turn it on and off. However, it frequently fails by cutting off, then turning back on super loud. Disturbs my child! I also have to go in and hit play then stop to get it to stop playing after this happens.
This app was great when it worked. My and my wife loved the rain. Now the play back is every 15 secs and it wakes us up. This is unacceptable and this is why it's getting a one star. I tried to buy the no ads also as well and I had even more ads pop up. Please fix this asap. We loved your rain and thunder.
I paid for the additional sounds, and now the app keeps randomly shutting off the sound I had chosen (air conditioner) and playing a different (loud and not restful) sound. I have to go back in and reselect my sound. The change is jarring. Also, sometimes the additional sounds don't show up in the selection menu! Not cool!
When the sound you've chosen to fall asleep to suddenly becomes a roaring static sound that is far louder than the original volume, it tends to break that whole "relaxing to sleep" thing. Your app is broken. I am more awake now, a half hour later, than I was when I turned it on to help me sleep.
This is a nice enough application, but some of the sounds don't loop correctly. By this, I mean that you can hear where the loop happens. Take the ticking clock, for instance. This is a high tick followed by a low tick. This one should be fairly easy to get right so as to convince the listener that the clock just keeps on ticking forever. But no, you can hear the loop plainly with two consecutive high ticks in a row. This is so annoying that it serves to keep you awake.
I love this app. It puts me to sleep in less than an hour which is great for me. I love that they have cat purring. It is my favorite. Just one thing: if you exit without turning off the sound, it gives off this terrible screeching sound. But other than that, five stars
Most of the sounds dont actually sound like there supposed to. And there is a bug in this app ,in the morning i go and close the app on my app bar 5 seconds later a really loud white noise sound goes off even though i closed the app already and its really annoying.
While you can use other apps, occasionally this causes it to jump into white noise- which makes you jump if you had it on one of the more soothing options. It's very obnoxious and because I need to use my phone when baby is sleeping at times, not helpful. As long as you don't open any apps it will continue with the sound you started with all night.
Nice but please add a feature so I can find my favorite sounds. Or make it so when I open the app is can be set so the last sound starts playing. This is suppose to relax me but I get upset and mad because I have to search for the sound (smile). Thanks for your good work.
I love this app for my newborn. The cat purring is the best but afyer awhile, it will just randomly go to white noise which always scares my baby and wakes him up so now i have a cranky baby. Not good. PLEASE FIX THE GLITCH OTHERWISE WILL UNINSTALL.
Good selection to pick from. All a re decent to good quality sounds. However, the electric fan needs to be louder - too dim sounding to be useful. Overall it suits our needs white we travel so we don't need to lug around the home fans from our bedrooms. Thank you to the developer.
I love this app. I have always had a hard time falling asleep & with this app I can fall asleep to many different noises This app is awesome! I love it! I am from the sou & I recently moved up north to be with one of my daughters. The noise of all the traffic & people kept me awake nights, since I found this app I have had no problems falling asleep. I love the sounds, they're clear & I can play them as long as I want with the timer. GREAT APP!
This happened to me twice and thank God I'm a light enough sleeper. I was using this app twice at a hotel and had also set the built in Android alarm to wake me up. First morning I thought it was a fluke. I heard the alarm go off and reached over to snooze. But the alarm was already turned off. Second morning I heard the alarm go of but less than two seconds later the alarm had turned off by itself. This has never happened to me before and I can only conclude that this app is to blame.
I like it and use it nightly. My only gripe is that I used to be able to set the app then switch screens. Lately, when I switch screens, the sound goes off and this loud screeching sound comes on until I exit the app. I reset it and then the app is fine until the next time. UPDATE 4/11/15: The loud screeching noise is happening more often, nearly everytime I switch screens. I want the sound as background while I still use my phone, I don't want to stare at it.
