I paid for this app when it was a different name ten years ago. When it changed names I lost my purchase but still stuck with it because I liked some of the sound effects. Over the past two years they have been wanting to charge me $60 per year to use it which I have not done, still using the couple free sounds that I have used for years. Now, those couple sounds are locked behind the pay wall. I understand you have to do business but I don't have to participate. Sadly this is uninstalled.

It used to be great, where about half of the library was free and the other half premium. Apparently that wasn't generating enough revenue because now there are only 7 sounds you can listen to unless you want to pay, which honestly is insulting. How do you go from 50% to 1% access? I had used this app for over 2 years, never once paid, never did free trials. Now to have virtually nothing available, it's no longer worth the storage it takes up on my phone.

*2025 edit* words of advice, don't get attached to the free stuff—it won't be free for long. Crazy how after years of listening to the same 4 sounds, I am now required to pay for one of them... *Old edit of review after app lock issue* Team responded quickly to issue and all my favorite stories and sounds are accessible again! I can sleep in peace and all through the night once more

My partner showed me this app a year ago and I loved it. However, I've noticed several times over the year, they were slowly locking more and more behind their subscription. Last night, in the middle of the night, they moved 90% of their sounds to premium, leaving a handful to use. Both my partner and I were shook to have to wake in the middle of the night and figure out sounds because they want to lock anything actually usable behind pay walls. Shame on you, Subscriber-Sleep.

I was using this app for a while because I liked the variety of free sounds and control with them. They sounded good and really did help me sleep. However, they recently restricted the free sounds to a dismal 7 sounds out of 200+. I can no longer use ANY of the sounds I used to without upgrading to the paid version. I don't like any of the sounds that are still free. The free generic rain sounds more like a faucet running than rain. I will not be using this app thanks to this change.

I wrote this: ",easy to use, love the features and design!" in 2019. WOW how times have changed. I can't do ANYTHING in this app anymore without paying for a subscription. I can only access my very first mix when I signed up, and even though I had several saved, can't access them. they used to have various sounds available for free, not anymore. very disappointed. deleting and finding a new sleep source.

So, mixes that I've already favorited and saved and have been listening to for as long as I've used the app are now behind a pay wall? And when I browse other sounds it looks like 99% of pretty much EVERYTHING is also behind a paywall. The only way you can get away with this is if you were the only game in town. I assure you that you're not.

This used to be a really nice app to use but as of late they have restricted almost all the sounds behind a subscription service. Its a bit annoying as you should just charge for the app at this point. All the sounds are mixed and you are not able to filter by free or behind a paywall. Definitely something that could be improved on.

Warning: I've had this app for years (10?), I loved that there was such an abundance of free sounds to mix and save. A few years ago, some of the free sounds were taken away, and I had some locked up saved mixes, which I deleted. Well, whatever, it is what it is, but recently there was another update, and now that there are so few free sounds, I had to delete all my saved mixes because they are locked up. I don't even get thunder anymore. I'm so disappointed.

Update: Everything is working again, as of the evening of 2025/09/10. However, the developer response included that I should use in-app support. The problem is that I hadn't been aware that there was such a mechanism, and struggled to find it. Once I found it, it was easy to get back, but the navigation makes no sense to me. Two star deduction until it's easier to locate.
