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

    10 years and now it’s unusable. Been using this app for what must be 10 years now. A few years ago there was an update that made it drain iPad battery. That was bad enough. Now the latest iOS update plus latest version of the app makes it shut off after 1 min of the screen being off. I’ve adjusted every setting I can find, but no luck. Still works on my phone, but I can’t sacrifice my phone battery to being plugged in all night like I did the iPad. This sucks. I don’t want to find a new app.

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

    Not worth it. If you can’t start it with a timer, what good is it?

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

    Sound shuts off with screen on iPad/phone.. Unless you leave the screen on, which lights up the whole room, your sound will shut off one minute after shutting off the screen. There are no settings to fix this and when I sent a request for help, it was ignored. Useless if it just shuts off.

  4. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Ads. Ads. Ads.. The ads in the marketplace are shown between every download. And I paid for it. Not ok.

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

    A ripoff. This app used to come with free downloadable sounds. Now the want to nickel and dime you or get you to subscribe. Just another money grubbing company.

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

    No contact?. I am trying to figure out how to upload sounds I recorded, there is no way that I can find to do it on app or website, and also no way to contact via email for help??

  7. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No Advantage vs Free White Noise App. White Noise Pro If there is a difference between the Lite and Pro apps. I can’t find it. Save your money until there are additional features. My doctor has prescribed a med with interrupted sleep as a side effect. I downloaded White Noise to help “lullaby” me back to sleep in the middle of the night. It plays through my Bluetooth enabled hearing aids. It helps some, certainly better than silence. White noise offers a considerable selection of satisfactory sounds and the option of creating a playlist to vary them. I found it worth encouraging the developer with a paid upgrade of less than a dollar. It’s worth that. The app does have it’s issues: The option menus are not very intuitive, and they are confusing There are a few “tips” but no manual or help function The upgrade wipes all the playlist, mix creations, and manually recorded sounds. It leaves the old Lite app in place with a different colored icon. It’s just odd and awkward. I don’t resent spending the dollar, but I can’t see that it buys anything really The volume of the sounds vary a lot perceptually from one another. It’s just about impossible to create a playlist that does not have jarring volume changes. The app really needs the ability to adjust the volume of playlist entries individually. There is a shuffle function that reorders the playlist but no capacity for creating a specific desired order by moving items up or down manually.

  8. ★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Was one of my favorite apps but not anymore.. I have used this app for along time. I have paid for the App and recently found that sounds I already have downloaded will not backup to ITunes. I am requested to purchase the sound again in iTunes. On top of that there are continual messages coming up on the App that the App isn’t appropriate for iPad. This App has turned into a scam.

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

    Non-moving pictures. If you want a little movement in the pictures. This is not for you. One still picture per sound. I was looking for a replacement for YouTube ambiance videos. This is not it. The timer is a nice feature though.

  10. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Almost perfect. This is useful for masking noises near me, and selecting a mix, as in “mix with music”. However, the aforementioned setting option is not working! I have a Bluetooth speaker that lags unless it’s in AUX mode or sounds in the app mixes. It either complies or doesn’t whether I prefer something or not! The sooner the app is updated to fix that glitch, the better!

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

    Alarm not sounding. Subject

  12. ★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Volume control. I like this app and use it every night. However I don't like the change in the volume control as I now have to turn the volume up a lot more to get the same level of sound I had before the latest version. Not a good change, in my opinion.

  13. ★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Needs Dolby Atmos support for Apple TV. Needs Dolby Atmos support for Apple TV

  14. ★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Not Quite Ambience, But Close Enough. It’s not quite what Ambience used to be before its developer abandoned it, but after a long time spent away from iOS this seems to be a suitable replacement. At least I’ve been able to find comparable sounds to those I used to enjoy in the aforementioned app. There are only two reasons I’m not giving this app five stars: 1) The market for other sounds is another app entirely, and 2) The interface seems like it could be improved upon, maybe made a little sleeker. But other than that I’m fairly happy with it.

  15. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    White Noise Pro is absolutely amazing. I’ve been using this app for YEARS. It’s my go to for everything bg noise related. I have fallen asleep countless times to the white noise // brown noise mix. I’ve got it tuned to the absolute perfect frequencies - and you can too with this app. It does everything you’d expect and more. You can combine one, two, three, four, five…. Whatever number of sounds together. Decide how they pan, decide the volume of each, just an absolutely genius app that I wish I’d written. Get it. Now.

  16. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Best Source for Sounds to Listen to While Relaxing…. Best Source for Sounds to Listen to While Relaxing… Has everything you could ever possibly imagine inside as far as sounds go + users are constantly recording their own content and sharing their own experiences with sounds with the world!!! It’s definitely the most powerful sound sharing platform ever created and it’s stock sounds are absolutely fantastic but it’s definitely worth getting into this platform simply because of how much user content is available and created every single day and it’s got a huge library of FREE CONTENT in the White Noise Market App for users of this Pro Version!!!! Hands Down By Far The Best App/Platform For Users Who Want To Use Sounds To Help Them Get Relaxed!!!

  17. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Great for Sound-Masking. As requested in a pop-up message on this app, I am reconfirming my rating above and what I wrote in the following sentences. I work at home, so I use this app to block out household noises and the conversations that tend to be distractions. It is also a sleep aid, especially since I am an early-to-bed kind of guy, and my wife tends to be a night owl. I used to use an app called Simply Noise, but it was not updated to fit the most recent iOS versions. I'm using White Noise Pro, which is much more diverse than Simply Noise and allows an ad-free experience. The developers have combined photos and sound to provide a very pleasing experience. There is a version for Mac, which I also use with satisfaction. A great app.

    Sleep Aide. Thinder is it!!

  19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great update!. Finally, no playlist limits. This is a wonderful update.

  20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    this is app for your iphone, had this since it came ou. no negatives here, create your own mind distraction, this is the best on the markets i have seen, tried alot of em, and well they really were crappy

  21. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    BEST White Noise App!. I love this app. I have used it for years for myself to help block out noise while I sleep during the day after working night shifts. I also now use it for my son. So many options and just the best sound quality and seamless loops. I recommend it to everyone with a baby on the way.

  22. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Another Perfect Night!. This is an almost perfect white noise app. It is the only one that has a built-in sound recorder, which is my favorite feature. I wish it was able to record for more than 59 seconds, but it is still worth the download!

  23. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Great for Studying. If you have a hard time finding a truly quiet, distraction-free place to study, this app (with a set of noise-cancelling earbuds) can be a great help. There are many easy-to-ignore ambient sound loops that will help to mask any otherwise distracting sounds. It is also great for sleeping if you get distracted by creaks, footsteps, and conversations around the house. Very valuable escape in our sound-addled world.

  24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    It’s amazing. It’s really been a amazing experience listening to the sounds in hd compared to the original and lite. You won’t regret it I promise

  25. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Been Happily using White Noise to sleep just about every night for nearly a decade. Great UI. Fantastuc customizabiluty and options you would have never thought of. It is just the perfect sound machine. I also love the market place where you can share and discover nearly limetless amounts of sounds for whatever tickles your fancy. Keep up the great work and support you’ve shown over the years TM Soft!

  26. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    Better than my $125 Brookstone Sound Machine. For years I depended on my Brookstone sound machine. However I started traveling for a living and needed to leave it at home. This app makes every hotel room a room I can sleep in regardless of external noises. My brain hears my favorite consistent sleep sounds (that I was able to mix with the purchase app) and I sleep well. I upgraded and it’s worth every penny.

  27. ★★★★★sleep sounds alone satisfy the need to fall asleep

    I love it. I note that many software authors have created a sleep sound program such as this one. Certainly I haven’t tried them all, but if you have this one, you don’t need to try any of the others.

  28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Noise. Very good. Yes

  29. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Just what did I pay for?. They also have 2 other apps that pretty much do the same thing. 1 is just to search for sounds and download them I think, but I am not at all sure. This company needs to get their act together. I feel used by them. Do not waste your time with these apps. They are to complicated and do not have good information on how to use them.

  30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Daily driver. Love app. Just wish I could have is auto launch using apple shortcuts and automation. Instead have to rely on a script which still takes user interaction. Bummer
