1. [R1] 5/5 · GB The best: I’ve tried a few apps in the ambient noise space and this is my go to. Loads of choice, a fair price, and good design
2. [R5] 5/5 · GB You’re great, never change, never leave!: I love this app. Hand on heart, I use it every single day when getting to sleep and I’ve used it every day for like 10 years and not just for sleeping, but studying and reading too. It’s not just about the sounds but being able to edit pitch, volume, sound location relative to headphones, vary how the sound moves around your head is really great! You ca
3. [R12] 5/5 · GB Great and really helps.: I have tried many of these apps and keep returning to this one. Downloadable sounds, high quality sounds, settings to fine tune, it is all just perfect. I can’t recommend it enough.
4. [R19] 5/5 · GB Perfect Mixes: Allowed me to create the exact mix of sounds I find the most relaxing for sleeping with a couple of easy downloads from the great selection on the Market. Being able to fade in a mix as a gentle wake up is a feature I didn’t know I needed but I’d now indispensable. Worth every penny.
5. [R8] 5/5 · GB Best app for tinnitus masking: Highly recommend it!
6. [R14] 5/5 · GB Best Sleeping App For Kids: I’ve had this app for eight years. I have played it to my kids while they were in their mommy’s tummy and now, years later they still sleep to it at night. It quiets their minds and helps them to relax and drift off peacefully. This has been one of my best childcare decisions ever. 😁
7. [R15] 5/5 · GB Brilliant app, love the choices and only one my son responds to: Used it for my son and currently the mix I made for him has almost 2 years of playback!
8. [R21] 5/5 · GB The best white noise app.: I have always slept with a fan on since I was pregnant with my first child. I find it impossible to sleep without that background noise now so when I go on holiday it can be a problem. I searched loads of white noise apps and tried them all and this app is by far the best. The sounds are so similar to the real thing, you can mix and blend the sounds. There is a t
9. [R93] 5/5 · CA Great app.: Excellent idea for an app that is well-executed. The fade out feature is fantastic.
10. [R3] 5/5 · GB Best sound app: Used the free version for a number of years so thought it was only right to buy full version. Best sound app, thank you Devs.
11. [R26] 5/5 · GB Awesome App: I downloaded the free version which is fantastic ( it’s so good it shouldn’t be free!) it does exactly what it says on the tin. Was so impressed I paid 0.99 for the upgrade. Many thanks nice app
12. [R32] 5/5 · GB Well worth £0.99: No subscription required. Great range of approx 30 noises for a solid sleep. Loving waking up to the sound of beach waves. Clock function means I can finally get rid of my prehistoric bedside clock
13. [R2] 1/5 · GB Latest Update Annoying: In the latest update, the lock screen you get a large image of the sound you’re listening to, which means the clock Is no longer the same large font it normally is and instead it’s tiny and at the top of the screen. This means you have to squint to see it - not great when you’ve just woken up and want to see the time. Change it back please!
14. [R10] 1/5 · GB Too clunky will only resume randomly: Crashes a lot
15. [R13] 1/5 · GB Crashes after latest update, not happy - pls fix :(: please please fix !!!!!
16. [R22] 4/5 · GB Slightly annoyed: I love this app and use it a lot. Not just for listening to when trying to go to sleep, but I use it a lot when I’m reading books or newspaper articles when my partner is watching tv, because I don’t like the distraction. My annoyance is that, when reading newspaper articles, as I scroll down the page, the app cuts out and I have to go back into the app several times to restart
17. [R29] 1/5 · GB Mix won’t make: I downloaded but everyone I make a new mix it sends to main menu of iPhone and rejects them, I tried again and it does it again, I want this bug fixed so I make new mixes, the new copy mix button is here and generator costs $0.99 now, I want to makes mixes and It still won’t work, PLEASE FIX THIS
18. [R4] 2/5 · GB Paid version with ads: This app is good, but the paid version still has popup ads
19. [R9] 3/5 · GB Good app/ scam at it’s finest: Downloaded the light version not knowing there is another one, then paid for the”regular” version, just to have to pay for a pro version. Deleting the app immediately and sticking with MyNoise. #annoyed
20. [R24] 4/5 · GB Excellent: Would be 5 out of 5 but there’s a loud pop-up which appears just after opening which is the last thing you need on an app that’s meant to help you relax. Otherwise, a well designed, easy to use and very useful app.
21. [R6] 3/5 · GB Swiping speed: It’s a great app with a good market of sounds, but they refuse to fix the swiping speed between sounds. It is almost impossible to move to the correct sound as the slightest swipe moves backwards or forwards by several sounds.
22. [R7] 2/5 · GB Old and lots of bugs: This app still looks like it’s 16 years old like something from 2009. I have had this app now for over 6 years. It used to work great but now a lot of things are broken and the layout is a total mess. Another negative is that the developer has forced its users for no reason at all to download a separate app after you have this one, just to be able to add in extra sounds to th
23. [R34] 3/5 · GB Does the job but a little buggy: Decent selection of sounds and the ability to make your own mixes is nice, but, it’s quite buggy with frequent freezes at startup and updates have a nasty habit of deleting favourites and mixes. Needs work on the UI and stability
24. [R28] 3/5 · GB It’s ok but...: I love the app and it’s great for calming! But one thing bothers me. I find it a bad thing to download another app just to get access to more sounds. I mean yes people will download it,but for the people who don’t have enough space and don’t want to delete anything or download anything, it’s annoying.
25. [R18] 3/5 · GB App is completely inaccessible when trying to record a your own sound using VoiceOver.: The app is brilliant aside from one really annoying problem! When using VoiceOver to read the screen, you cannot record your own sounds as it is completely inaccessible so is therefore useless to a blind person. It’s even more infuriating being as I’ve bought the app. And if a user is paying for the premium fe
26. [R11] 1/5 · GB Apple Watch app: It does not appear to work independently from a phone, even with Bluetooth headphones connected to the watch. Any sounds played gets played through a phone. Spotify have got it right.
27. [R17] 3/5 · GB Good but uses a lot of battery: This is a decent app with lots of sounds. However when the white noise is playing it clearly uses a lot of processing power as the phone gets warm and the battery goes down very fast. Would be good if the devs could make it more efficient.
28. [R67] 1/5 · CA Never stops asking for ratings!: Never stops asking for ratings!
29. [R137] 1/5 · CA Stop making me rate you!: Great but stop forcing me to rate you. Tap to rate, swipe to dismiss, but swipe doesn't work so I have to tap and rate! Annoying.
30. [R161] 1/5 · AU Don't force paying customers to make reviews: See title
31. [R23] 5/5 · GB Tinitus relief and calm: Great app helped me with the offset of tinitus, highly recommended.
32. [R49] 5/5 · GB Great App!: I've had issues with insomnia for years, and this app has pretty much cured it. Got the free version to start with, and was so happy with it that I upgraded to the paid version.
33. [R58] 5/5 · CA Amazing app: Worth buying, you get so much for only a few $$, use it every night.
34. [R20] 5/5 · GB Fantastic white noise app: I love this app. So many sounds available, I can create endless mixes so easily, add my own sounds…what else can one ask for? Thank you 😊
