Noise Machine - Brown, Pink

I purchased this app, happy to support a developer for what was a useful tool; it’s easy to just have the noise on to help a baby sleep in a pram etc. But the money grab to make this simple app a subscription service is shocking and has led to me uninstalling with no intention of using it again. There are popular music services that offer the same function.

A real shame and disappointment that the new app update has made it compulsory to sign up for $30/year to play a sound for longer than 5 minutes. I’ve used this app for a very long time but have now deleted & found a different app that requires no payment for unlimited play time.

When will we be able to do half hour increments?? I pay for the premium and it’s crazy that we have to set the timer by the hour past a certain point!

Great for camp, wherever you may be

I’ve used this so for years so I like it, but since they moved to the subscription model it’s started logging me out in the middle of the night and stopping the white noise which is incredibly annoying. I tried to contact support but only got a blank page so writing a review in hopes they’ll fix the issue.

All of the features listed (except noice color choice) require subscription. Subscription is 12.99/yr (seemingly marked down from 19.99). It is unclear if the 12.99 is first year only discount from 19.99/yr. Developers should be more transparent regarding app services so I don’t have to download 42 of them to find out which one works best at a price point that is suitable.

I use it to block out my husband’s snoring and noise in hotels when we travel. My son is super sensitive to sounds around him and uses this app with his earbuds to do his schoolwork. It has been a game changer for him!

In June 2022 I bought the Lifetime Unlock for this app ($9.99), and then suddenly in September 2023 it started limiting me to 5 minutes and gave me the option to unlock it with an annual subscription ($12.99)…at first I didn’t but then needed the app so I paid for the subscription. I reached out through the App Store and haven’t heard anything from the developer. Now, after 11 months it’s now acting as if my subscription has run out (limiting my use and offering me a 12 month subscription for $12.99). Not only am I supposed to have it for life but now they cutting my year subscription down to 11 months?! Feel like theft to me.

Shame! This use to be free. Now everything has to be a subscription .. Update: Back in October 2020 I bought “Noise Machine lifetime unlock”. This is not fair to me and needs to be honored! Update: looks like ai “restored” my account and it restored my lifetime membership!

I can't give an accurate review because it will only go for 5 minutes. If there were even a few trial, I might purchase afterwards. But it will only play for 5 minutes without buying. So I have no way of knowing if it helps me sleep. If I were to fall asleep in 5 minutes I wouldn't need the app
