1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Volume Pathetically Low. Even turned up to maximum volume, this isn’t loud enough to drown out even the slightest background noise, unless you use amplified Bluetooth speaker. Not worth 10% what it cost, going back to using Free app with better volume.

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

   No good. The one sound I wanted to hear, was barely audible. A total waste of money.

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

   POC. I’ve downloaded the app and the Rain Sounds but I am not able to create mix. Most of the sounds I have mixed in the past aren’t available. I have used this app every night for many years. I had to redownload it and that’s when it lost everything.

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

   make that easier thankyou.. Still can’t find my mixes anywhere I give up Such. A good sound app but impossle to navigate

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Can’t cancel subscription. If you buy this out you will never get rid of it. It does not show up in subscriptions and they charge you a dollar just to get tech-support. Total scam!!

6. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   NO WAY TO CANCEL. There is absolutely no way to cancel this app. If you need technical support they charge you a dollar to get it. Do not download this app because you will never get rid of it!!!! All sounds are repetitive after one minute it plays the same thing over and over again. NOT A GOOD APP AT ALL!

7. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Didn't have 600 different sounds!!. False advertisement honestly and I'd like a refund please!!

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Not impressed. Only high frequencies are picked up. They have not captured the ocean that I grew up with. You-Tube does a much better job. I'd take a refund , thank you.

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

   1 star for this crap is high. Just wasted $2.99 on nothing. Terrible app. Says 600 sounds. More like 60 and crap.

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

    Not worth it!. Thought it was going to be so much better but once I bought it I realized it wasn't worth the money. Seriously the sounds sound so fake. Don't waste your money on this app.

11. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Buggy. Sometimes it plays sometimes it won’t. Only cure has been to re-install and rest. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

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

    Great but not great. I’ve had this app for a couple of years and was very happy but recently when I tried to create a new sound mix, I was not able to give it a title and it only goes to the default as my mix.

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

    Unintuitive design, great library of sounds. This app has a great catalog of sounds and once you figure out how to create a mix, is very customizable. The interface is very confusing and not intuitive. I would use it more if it were simpler to navigate, it feels like they needlessly chose a more unique design that sacrifices usability for aesthetics.

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

    SleepSounds. Nice sounds but finding them and editing them should provide much easier options.

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

    eh it's ok. for starters theres def not 600+ sounds if they are idk where else they are because there's prolly about 80-120 maybe. so far the sounds i like are just the same sound in a short loop, makes a nice creepy wind/water effect with the low frequency underwater shimmering voices and space whale...but the looping really shows with the space whale. not a bad app and will use but not worth the 6.99usd, i'd say 2.99 is more fair

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

    No Full screen X support?. Make it full screen for the X and I’ll update the rating!

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Very wide variety of high quality sounds. I love the extensive library of very high quality sounds to choose from... I would have given the app 5 stars except the backlight on my IPhone 7 Plus stays on as long as the app is in use. Which is annoying because I need the sounds and total darkness with my insomnia to sleep. The other sleep sound app I have, the backlight on the phone automatically goes off after a few minutes. The light not going out, will prevent me from using the app. I wish I could get a refund for my purchase

18. ★★★★★accessibility and assistive-technology issues

    Darlenjoy. I love this app!!! I am blind and I like the fact that I was able to access it by myself. I only ask that when the sounds are playing that the buttons have text on them. But continue these wonderful sounds, they are fantastic!!!

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

    very nice. I use this all the time! It’s a great app!

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

    Love - but could use more animal sounds. I use this app every night since I have tinnitus which keeps me awake if it’s too quiet. This app probably has more sound options than any other sound app! I do wish there were more animal sounds (wolves howling, horses grazing/whinnying, elephants, etc.), and I also wish there was an option to record and upload our own sounds. Those are the only things that could make it even better!

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    iPad support please. thanks you

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    I love the household and industrial sounds!. I wish there were an option to separate the sounds but otherwise I love the app.

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great App. Lots of sounds to choose from. I wish there were a few more. Very easy to make a custom mix and then adjust the volume of each sound in the mix.

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

    Oregon Rainforest. Not working well right now It keeps cutting off when I put my phone on the Boze speaker mount....?

25. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    It’s worth paying for.. Positive: The sounds are high quality, don’t loop every few seconds, and there’s a broad variety. Negative: When you’re looking at sounds to download, there’s no indication as to which ones you already have, and there’s no way to build a playlist without first downloading the exact items you like. It makes that part of the process fairly clunky. Positive: It does everything it promises, and with the right headphones, it makes for a good night’s sleep.

26. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Paid for the upgrade and generally love it BUT.... You CANNOT download the upgraded version! What’s up with that, developers?! So in order for me to play the mix I have w/ the upgrade, I HAVE to have internet so I can open the app in the app store! 🤬 NOT cool! But the sounds are GREAT and it has helped me sleep, that is for sure!

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great relaxing tool. We use this soothing sounds to sleep every night. We love it. I love the blend of sounds and ability to bring certain sounds to the forefront while others are background. Neat tool. I’d love to have bob white on the choice list and also slow down the chatter of birds. Otherwise nifty!

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

    Very Good. Wish more sounds would be added

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

    Great app!. Could use the ability to soften or dampen the sounds to go along with being able to change the volumes

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

    Nice variety of quality sounds. If you’re looking for a nice distant train whistle, you’ll find one on the Pacific Chorus Frogs and Train track . The whistle is not present on the preview. It would have been nice to have a description of each track that would help in finding specific things of interest such as this, rather than downloading and listening to complete tracks. There is a good variety of sounds in the app, but it took me a while to get the hang of the user interface, and I still get confused occasionally. Overall a worthwhile purchase. Edit: I tried the search function as suggested by the developer, and found that it does in fact work well. Thank you.
