White Noise Lite for Negative User Reviews
✓ Sound stops when switching appsThis app earned my 5-star rating until I learned its one very inconvenient hiccup. It, without a doubt, has the best sound of any I’ve heard yet - even better than my embarrassingly high-priced standalone sound machine. Truly, the only drawback is that you can’t go into any other apps without the sound turning off. For some people who may use this app only for sleep that is absolutely no problem. For me, however, that is a more bothersome problem as I use my phone for contacting clients, navigation, scheduling appointments, etc. When my relaxing zen mindset is interrupted because I need to answer an email, it takes me a good few minutes to get back in the zone. If they ever allow this app to continue in the background while using other apps, I would gladly reinstate my five star rating..Version: 7.4
✓ Used to love itThis is the app that I’ve used when traveling as I have a standalone white noise machine at my house. But this most recent update is basically trash. Had to take my phone off silent to hear anything - which means that I have to remember to put it on ‘do not disturb’ or I’ll be woken up by every call/text/snap/etc. that’s not a good business model for someone that uses this as a travel nurse. I’m exhausted after night shift. Plus I can’t lock my screen anymore or it stops playing? Why? Why was that a necessary update? So while I’ve enjoyed using this app for YEARS (like as long as it’s been around) you’ve completely screwed it up and I need to find a new one. Every part of this most recent update was unnecessary. If I could give this update zero stars, I would. Update: Good to know that 2 months later you’ll get back to people. Don’t pay for this..Version: 7.9.8
✓ New Update Has Broken My App, Been A Favorite For YearsI have used this app consistently for years. I have even logged over 100 days of listening! I prefer it to other white noise, such as the kind offered by paid apps such as Sleep Cycle or Headspace. There really is just nothing that works as well. However, the app was just updated and now my sounds aren’t working. I hit play and nothing comes out. I’m not sure if this is a glitch on my end (I just imported my first sound from the White Noise Marker, though I would hope that doesn’t break my app). However I am pretty sure it’s related to the new update. I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but I would love a fix so I can use this fantastic app again! TL;DR— This is a fantastic app (the best for white noise) and I would rate it 5 stars if the most recent update had not rendered it unusable..Version: 7.7.1
✓ Only works on ear speaker not loud speakerCan’t get it to work on speaker phone mode, it’s not loud enough and only plays out the little speaker on iPhone. It use to work fine until update. I removed the app and got another one that works better. Used this app for 4 years no issues until now. Sorry to say goodbye.Version: 8.0.14
✓ Odd noises in the background.Sounds such as brown noise have really subtle odd looping sounds and dialogue in the background. Changes on pause and play. Sounds like a clip of music? Really disruptive. Saw another similar complaint. Sorry for the low rating but woke me up in many occasions and is just plain creepy!.Version: 7.0
✓ Nice but creepy sounds(apologies in advanc for the long review) I always use the air conditioner sound and it really helped me sleep but the one time I tried listening to the stream water flowing I swear I heard someone drowning and it was super creepy. It was a few minutes into the sound and it started with lots of splashing which seemed normal-ish but then I heard a man gasping for air and more frequent splashing and it really freaked me out. Then a few months/maybe a year later (a few nights ago for me) I was listening to the air conditioner (which I've listened to nearly every single night for years) and I heard 8-bit music? But then it became a much lower pitched sound and so I paused it and resumed it to see if it would stop and then I heard talking. Really weird. It doesn't bother me too too much, I'm just leaving this (along with the bad review, sorry) for anyone else looking for similar things. Otherwise nice app :').Version: 7.7.9
✓ Drains phone batteryI’ve been using the free version of this app for years, and love the quality and variety of the sounds, but it completely drains the battery of my iPhone every time. Last night I had my iPhone charged to 97%, turned it on battery saver mode, and closed all other apps and location services off, before turning on the White Noise and setting an alarm for 8 hours later. White Noise was the only app running on my phone. Woke up when the white noise turned off 8 hours later and my phone was completely dead. The battery drain happens every time I use the app without my phone being on the charger, whether I start at 40% battery or 100%. I prefer not to keep my phone on the charger overnight for several reasons - fire safety, protect battery life - but I can’t risk using this app and missing an important alarm due to a dead phone..Version: 7.6.5
✓ Not so good any moreThis app used to be great but about two years ago it stopped working efficiently. Whatever time period I want it to play for, it stops after about two minutes. I've done about two updates in the last few years but they've made no difference. Very sad..Version: 8.0.17
✓ BugShuts off now when my phone turns off a few minutes later. Just started happening..Version: 7.9.1
✓ Hidden soundMy wife downloaded this app the other night, and last night while trying to get to sleep, I realized that while she had the “gray noise“ playing, I heard what sounded like a text/vibrate alert going off every 10 seconds. It almost sounded like an iPhone was getting a vibrate alert every 10 seconds. It was making me crazy, so I turned off that app and it stopped. I verified that the sound was indeed coming from the white noise light app. Not sure why they would put that in there, but when you’re trying to get to sleep and pick up on something like that, it turns into something that you focus on. That being said, we will no longer be using this app..Version: 7.9.3
✓ Unreliable, can’t wait to deleteUpdate: still terrible and has ruined my night for the last time. I use this app for sound overnight for my daughter who needs it to sleep. Was already iffy trying a new app. It worked well for a little while and now almost every night it ends up just turning off. So I have to close and re open the app over and over until it plays, waking my daughter up. I’ve never had more hatred towards an app considering it’s supposed to be sleep sounds. Every other feature on the app is nice but now It’s starting to increasingly turn off more often too. Mind you it’s not my phone, Ive never had this issue with any other app of any kind. Can’t wait to delete it when I order a sound machine. Do not recommend only because of that..Version: 8.0
✓ New version is a disappointmentHave used White Noise for years. It’s simplistic features made it perfect. Put it on before bed and turn it off the next morning by opening my phone and minimising the app. It never got in the way of music, podcasts, etc when I left the house for work. Now , even if I kill the app in the morning (double tap and flick up) it wants to take over. Jump in the car and guess what starts playing- White Noise. If I play around with the settings to try and get it back to how it was, it just doesn’t work. Please give me the old version back! I’ll be looking for an alternative..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Turns itself off, wakes you upAbout once every 2-4 weeks the app will spontaneously stop playing. I’ve been using it for years, and I’m conditioned to wake up when it shuts off because it stops playing right before the alarm goes off. I used to think it was my phone, but this is a new phone, and it still happens. I have so not disturb on so nothing should interrupt it..Version: 7.9.8
✓ App randomly shuts off noiseI have been using this app since 2014. Recently, it has begun to randomly shut off. I have triple checked all the settings in my phone and in the app, nothing should be stopping the sound. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app; it still happens. I am getting annoyed as I am woken up when the sound abruptly stops..Version: 7.9.1
✓ Love this app, but...Definitely love this app. It actually helps to calm me as I suffer with anxiety. But please please please, can you make it so the sounds can play outside of the app? That would make it perfect.Version: 7.3.1
✓ Weird noisesGood.Version: 8.0.19
✓ Qualité sonore faible, son et mixes peu convaincantVoilà.Version: 7.9.1
✓ Keeps running in backgroundI have free version and although the sound will stop at time set with timer my data use shows the app must be still running in the background. can not find a way to shut down. for this reason only i rate it low..Version: 7.9.1
✓ Was great but..Had been working great until new iOS update. Volume option disappears and play button will not work unless phone is restarted. Hopefully a fix comes soon..Version: 7.6.5
✓ App has become eccentricHave used app for years as a 5 star rated app but recently it has begun to stop and start, get louder and softer in the middle of the night. Not good for helping with sleep. This has started on iPad Pro. Still works fine on iPhone..Version: 7.9.1
✓ One Fundamental FlawI enjoy listening to the rain as I find it very relaxing. I would love to be able to do something else at the same time (FB, sodoku) but I can't! As soon as I open another app the rain stops, unlike my other podcasts. Hope u can fix!.Version: 5.6.4
✓ May come with pop up ads even in paid versionI had an old iPhone 4. Get pop up ads even In the paid version. Very annoying when trying to get the little one to sleep. Lots of futzing around to get back to the app to adjust the settings..Version: 7.0
✓ Fade outI like the app but I used to have one that faded the sound in and out when turning it on or off so it wasn’t just instantly loud once it started or instantly quiet once it stopped. It was more gentle for having it for my baby..Version: 7.6.1
✓ Be carefulI have used this app & it is great for sleeping but I woke up in the middle of the night & my phone was burning hot that it actually burned my hand when I picked it up. Leaving this app running will cause the temperature on your phone to go up & it’s very dangerous.Version: 7.7.11
✓ I used to love this appI’ve used this app for years and have loved it! BUT in the last few months it randomly stops most nights and that wakes me up. I have stayed up to date on all my updates so not sure what’s happening - it’s been going on for too long for them to not have fixed this. There have been several app updates since it started to randomly Stop and it hasn’t been fixed yet 🤷🏼♀️.Version: 7.9.2
