    • Charged me even though I cancelled within 7 days. Not cool.
    • Unfair business practices — I started a 7-day trial. Cancelled on the final day and they then charged me for a full year.
    • Charged me for a year after a 7 day free trial — They charged my card after I canceled for a whole year subscription...

    • $40 per year — It’s not free. It’s a one week free trial for a $40 subscription. No chance this is worth $40 a year.
    • Way too expensive for what it is.
    • They want to charge you $40 a year which is way overpriced.
  • Aggressive or misleading sales tactics during onboarding
    Users describe high-pressure prompts, hidden pricing, and deceptive UI that pushes them toward paying before they’ve even used the app.

    • High pressure sales tactics — Used high pressure sales tactics on me as soon as I opened the app...
    • Be careful w free version — They constantly try to trick you into making a purchase.
    • Just show the price — Download it. Answer endless questions, just to be told you’re going to be paying for it in a few days.
  • Poor battery performance and background resource usage
    Users report extreme battery drain when using the app, suggesting it runs inefficiently or consumes excessive resources in the background.

    • Suspicious Resource hog — It’s crazy how I can play music all night with any app on battery but if you play white noise in this app it cuts through your battery like a hot knife through butter.
    • No good. — Plan automatically renewed without any prior notice and it made my account bounce.
  • Lack of free content and limited free features
    Users are frustrated by the minimal number of free sounds and the requirement to pay for basic functionality.

    • No! — Terrible you have to pay for pretty much all the sounds except for like eight.
    • Little free options — It had barely any noises that where free
    • Paid app — Somehow you have to pay for this
  • Poor customer support and unresponsiveness

    • Developer doesn’t respond — Don’t waste your time emailing the developer. Not sure why they publish their email. They don’t respond.
    • Worst customer service — Not sure what’s worse, the unreachable customer service, the amount that they charge or the app!
    • I could’ve put zero stars I would.
  • Misleading app description and lack of transparency

    • Misleading — The description is misleading. While it’s a free download, they charge after 7 days. Doesn’t say it anywhere in the description, very deceptive!
    • Offer Lifetime Tier — No lifetime tier available.
    • They don’t say anything about cost, ask about your personal life, age etc and then say that it’ll cost 40 bucks a year.
  • Technical issues with audio output and device compatibility
    Users report problems with sound only playing through phone speakers, not external devices like Sonos, or no sound at all.

    • Other sounds play — What a waste of money, music plays in background of fan noise
    • No sound — Sound only comes thru my phone, but NOT the speaker device!!
    • Doesn’t connect to my Sonos often. Pain in the butt.
