  1. [R2] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 5/5 · US Brown noise: For years, I’ve used a white noise maker - even packing it in my suitcase for travel. I decided that I wanted something more portable and added this app. It recommended brown noise based on my goals. It really did seem to make a difference. I was able to increase the volume as well. The price point of about $3 per month was also more reasonable than other apps. It has a nice range of
  2. [R4] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 2/5 · US Very few sounds: There are only 5-6 mediocre sounds available to free users. Lots more sounds available if you pay. But the App is more money than it’s worth.
  3. [R5] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 5/5 · US 8000 hours: Ocean Waves is good
  4. [R8] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 5/5 · US Love the green noise and theta waves: This app is the best whether you’re on a noisy train or trying to get some Deep Sleep. It has sounds for every occasion.
  5. [R3] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 3/5 · US Couple of issues: Use app to help put my 2 month old to bed. You're unable to use certain apps while playing sounds like Facebook or random gaming apps without it turning itself off and playing music from the apps even if you turn the sound off on the app itself. So it's hard to keep yourself awake while you're trying to put someone else to sleep.
  6. [R6] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 3/5 · GB Doesn’t last long enough: 8 hours isn’t long enough for a sleeping baby. When the 8 hours is up & it stops she wakes up! 👎🏼
  7. [R12] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 5/5 · US Equilibrium Restored: Love this app for the different sounds that help me maintain homeostasis throughout the day. At night it is a welcome aid to remind me to calmly reflect as it eases me gently into sleep. Works as intended. Thank you !
  8. [R1] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · US 7 Day Trail: Pay to use this very basic white app. It complicates and monetizes what should be a straightforward service.
  9. [R7] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · US Expensive: Why force people to download your app only to find out there is a charge?
  10. [R11] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · US Charged me even though I cancelled within 7 days. Not cool.: I subscribed to a 7 day free trial and cancelled before the 7 days were up. It seemed like a great ap the few times I used it, but the company charged my credit card 39.99 even though I cancelled within the 7 day free trial time period. I am disappointed in this, have contacted apple and hope the owners of better sleep make this right.
  11. [R31] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · GB Scammers: Took 64 pound out of my account even though I never signed up for one year package
  12. [R35] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · GB A very angry mom: I downloaded this app out of curiosity and deleted it straight away as I was really bothered with the sounds. A fortnight later I was charged almost £40. Which is fair enough, as I didn’t read the small print. I have been using this app for quite a few months. And it had happen on several occasions when during the night the sound had cut off. But tonight it has gone again!!!!!!
  13. [R9] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · US It’s not free: There are plenty better apps which are not only free, but much better.
  14. [R13] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 2/5 · GB Good app BUT….: As the title says, it’s a good app and does what is supposed to but the price is extremely ridiculous and extremely greedy! I don’t get the justification to charge such a high price?! There’s no way I’d be upgrading to premium and the free version just isn’t worth bothering with so will probably be deleted - shame as otherwise it’s a good app.
  15. [R33] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · GB Why?: I’ve been using the free version of this app for many months. The settings have now changed so that the sounds will not continuously play, unless I subscribe. As I can no longer effectively use it I will now have to delete. Very disappointing.
  16. [R23] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 1/5 · GB A rip off these days: I purchased this app a couple of years ago for a few pounds. Now it’s a subscription only for nearly £40 annually. This new approach makes this app, and most other apps a complete rip off!
  17. [R28] White Noise Deep Sleep Sounds 4/5 · US Great white nose app: Great white nose app for helping babies sleep, but it does not need to be a subscription! I would happily pay a reasonable one-time price, but ongoing payment is ridiculous. I don’t use any of the premium features anyway and don’t need new sounds, just the basics.
