Sleep Sounds Reviews

In 2016 I purchased Fitness22’s Meditation and Relaxation app. After my iPad updated recently all sound (which I paid to unlock all of them) were missing so none of my custom sounds would work. I tried to restore all the sounds SleepSounds failed/crashed and hasn’t worked since. The Original App no longer shows up in SleepSounds Store even though it shows up in my previous downloaded app list. So then I discovered that Fitness made a completely new App that is exactly the same as the original. Of course I can’t restore your purchases because it is a different App, even though it really is the same App. The only difference is the name and the thumbnail image, otherwise once in SleepSounds it appears and functions exactly the same. So a new way to screw people who have paid to fully unlock all features of an App is to terminate that App and develop a new one to make people pay all over agin.

I payed for the $20 version. It claimed to have over 200 sounds...or something like that. It does have a few really good rain/water/fire sounds, but if you are looking for a decent thunderstorm sound, you won’t find it here. In fact, there are only really 20ish sounds that could be used for sleep (IMHO). The rest are songs, animal noises, odd frequency sounds and someone saying silly “inspirational” phrases.

There are some good things though. You can mix 3 sounds together, putting each a varying volumes to create your own “mix.” If they lost most of the silly noises and added different variations of certain sounds, ie thunderstorms, SleepSounds would be 5 stars. Until then, you’d be better off getting a much cheaper one.

Hi, so I have trouble falling asleep every night, so I thought SleepSounds would be perfect! But really it didn't have as many sounds as I thought it would have, and if you did want more, then you would have to pay. I think SleepSounds DOES have potential, but for me it didn't satisfy me. I'm not sure what everyone is saying about its so great. It is good..just not great. And it isn't a background sound thing, so you can't turn off your phone to just drift to sleep. So these are my problems listed:

1). Not that many sounds. As I said before there isn't many sounds, and if you do want you have to pay. Which many people (including me) want a free app.

2). The sounds AREN'T background sounds. Apps like these should have there sounds as background sounds. So you can fall asleep without your phone turning off.

3). These apps should have sounds to help you with other stuff other than sleeping. I know that these sounds can help you when you need to sleep. But I would suggest like you make SleepSounds a little more customized for you(as in the user).

Those are all of my problems! 😕 I did rate SleepSounds 3 stars, because it ISN'T a BAD app!! 🤗 It just needs to add more things. Also I get if you don't add the 3rd one because this is a sleep sound app. Thank you for your time! 😄

I absolutely love SleepSounds, it helps me fall asleep at night & I play it on my water speakers. It used to take me hours to fall asleep and then I stumbled upon SleepSounds in need of good sleep. I downloaded it and boom. Life. Changing. I love the timer so that my battery won’t run down while I’m sleeping and it will automatically turn off. About the timer, I wish it would have a longer time limit. I am not interested in buying a $9.99 add on just for an alarm. I am content with the sounds. I wish there was a 4.5 star rating but otherwise I suggest downloading SleepSounds if you are in need of sleep. I promise, it’s worth it.

SleepSounds has let me sleep nice and well for 5 months! It really helped me with staying up, and it puts me strait to sleep. I think you should definitely get SleepSounds, if you are having sleeping problems. And also, there are no adds, and even the sounds you don’t have to pay for are relaxing. I always listen to the fire or rain. It also helps with dreams. With all of this stuff going on, it really just calms you down and puts you into a nice cozy place where nice calming sounds are. I really hope you get SleepSounds because it will really help you. And don’t worry about it. I was a test run, and here’s your feedback.

Ok so I got SleepSounds because I can only sleep with a nose maker on. And so when I go to a sleepover (by the way that’s y I got SleepSounds) I don’t have to lie awake in bed because I can’t sleep because I don’t have to nose maker. So I was going to go to a sleepover and all my friends hate the sound of rain when they are sleeping or any nose in general. So I got this for myself and put in my earbuds and went right to sleep!!!!!!

It has sooooooooooo many amazing noises that you can lesson to at night... I love ❤️ SleepSounds get it... please!!!
Thank you for an amazing app!!!!!! Bye for now!!

I route all that below before they get an update. Now that they’ve done update you cannot listen to the sounds anymore because it puts a commercial in when you try to go to set it to sleep mode where it goes to sleep after 15 minutes. As soon as you touch SleepSounds turn on the sound and then touch the sleep mode goes to commercial which makes a huge racket of noise which shuts off the sound and wonder commercial is over with the sound no longer works. So having tried to do that over and over with shutting off Commercial when it ends in the center enough I just give up on it and now I will have to delete it and find someone else to listen to. I have no problem watching your commercials for these things because it is a good app well correction It WAS a good app. Now it’s just advertising platform that doesn’t work anymore.

Before The update:

I like SleepSounds I've had others that were pretty terrible this one is very nice! Unlike the others this one does not have the sound of the loop. you don't hear the ends of sound loop. It had a constant flow as if it is never ending.
I also like that you can mix multiple sounds and that you can set favorites these all make it the best app that I found for helping me fall to sleep each night.

No I would say don’t waste your time on this piece of crap.

I’ve used SleepSounds since 2011. Since I was 11 with a one direction phase and the kids used to bully me for being chunky. Through the ups and downs of my life, my several mental health issues, SleepSounds has been the one constant in my life - I guess other than the pencil case I’ve had since 8th grade. Men will come and go, but SleepSounds is forever. There is a great variety of sleep sounds and honestly you can just whip out your phone anywhere and fall asleep anywhere. If SleepSounds ever gets deleted, I think I will officially have abandonment issues.

I have had to take a melatonin supplement to help me sleep for nearly a year, but I still have a lot of trouble falling asleep. I also noticed that I had started to wake up earlier than necessary. So I I gave SleepSounds a try; not only do I fall asleep quickly (I set the timer for an hour but it never takes that long), I sleep deeper and wake up more rested and I no longer need the melatonin supplement. I also don’t wake up hours before I need to be up anymore. I don’t know what it is about the sound of rain falling (my preferred sound), but it puts me right out! I plan to try other sounds as well. Great app!

I have used Sleep Pillow for years now and have found it a versatile and effective mobile alternative for a noise maker. It has many different sounds for free and many more for purchase, though I have never spent the money on these myself as I found the free sounds wholly satisfactory, and has helped me sleep many a night. I do have to say I have never tried another app like this, so I cannot compare its services to those or any other app, but it is a compliment to Sleep Pillow that I have needed no other app. I would recommend SleepSounds to a friend in heartbeat.

I absolutely love SleepSounds!! I fall asleep in about 10 minutes when I use it (and it used to take me over an hour), and then I sleep a full night instead of waking up all the time. The sounds in SleepSounds are terrific, and there are not too many of them which is great - they just have the best and most effective sounds that work. I also like the images that they put on each sound - my way is to look at the image for about a minute or so while the sound is playing, and then put the phone aside. when I close my eyes, I still have the image of nature in my head and then while listening to the sounds it feels like I'm there.
my favorites are the different water sounds, those are the ones that make me fall asleep the fastest. I even think that it has improved the quality of my sleep - I sleep really deeply now and have these really realistic good dreams. SleepSounds is literally a lifesaver! love it love it love it

I have been using SleepSounds for many years now... I absolutely love it. Except about a year ago it changed something that now makes it stay on no matter what other app you open... like video or voice memo or phone call... gotta go into app to turn off... it’s SO ANNOYING!! It’s like that rude drunk guy that never knows when to shut up... SleepSounds used to have better manners and turn itself off when other apps or videos started to play... which made more sense than what it does now...
Please, sleep pillow... fix this issue... go back to how it used to be...

Hi, so SleepSounds is pure AMAZING!! I love the sounds I have used this sense I was 5!!!! It STILL puts me to sleep. I used to have sleeping anxiety but it’s gone with some medicine and a nice flow of these sounds! I usually like to use the first sound (water/rain) to some people it’s a terrible but to me I love it!! I also love the sunset water thing ( like beach water) sometimes but it is amazing, all of them! My parents and some friends are like “why do you use sound to go to sleep?” Well guess what it’s peaceful, stress relief, and easy to fall asleep with! This is the most amazing app, I’ve had it for so many years! And I most likely will continue! Thank you

So I always had trouble sleeping even know my bed is comfortable and I didn’t know really how I was going to sleep but....... I went on a search to find an app to help me sleep and I found this one! So let me tell you about it!!!!!! So you can mix the sounds or you can leave it how it is and you can by sounds FOR ONLY 10 DOLLARS!!!!!!! And it helps you sleep everyday ever night and well anywhere!! It’s SUPER calming and relaxing..... oh! And by the way there’s barely ANY updates! So you don’t have to wait! And SleepSounds takes like 20 seconds to download!! It’s AWESOME so what are you waiting for?! You can sleep in seconds!
Have a nice night!

I want to start off by saying that I only use the free version and I only use the storm sound. I have a balcony door in my bedroom and when it thunderstorms I like to leave it slightly open and listen to the sound. The setting on SleepSounds simulates that sound very well.
I love the fact that it has a sleep timer so that your battery doesn't drain by having SleepSounds running all night. But honestly, that is as much as I use SleepSounds .

To be honest, I do not understand what more the users who are posting negative reviews are expecting. But if you have simple needs like I do and just want something soothing to help you get to sleep, definitely give SleepSounds a chance.

I like that you can combine a couple sounds and make your own sound. White noise fan sound would be a nice addition or a purring cat sound. But I usually use the crackling fire to sleep. And I sometimes add in a slow metronome slow timing combined with fire sometime. The rain and water sounds are also relaxing. The whales also work to put me to sleep. My cats like the sound with the birds and frogs. I don’t care for the sound with the baby image or the massage image sound. Wind would be a nice option Sleep pillow has a timer and that is great I set it to as long as it can be on for and I sleep soundly and it helps me fall asleep faster especially when I am stressed out and have a lot on my mind. Thanks Sleep Pillow !

I tore the labrum of both shoulders playing high school football. Recovery from surgery required that I sit upright in a stiff chair so that my arm could be supported by the rests on either side, preventing me from turning over and aggravating the injury again. As you could imagine, I could not sleep. Worse still, I was developing insomniac sleeping tendencies that would see me up until sunrise before I could even manage to drift to sleep. SleepSounds helped tremendously. I chose the crackling of fire mixed with the sounds of waves crashing, winds blowing, and whale calls. The sound has put me to sleep for maybe 4 years now, and helped me sleep through 9 months of rehab. My friends have even reported sleeping better with SleepSounds playing. I couldn’t recommend it more.

I love SleepSounds! I have been using it when needed for the past two years or so, and it’s always extremely helpful. I don’t have premium, but I find default to be enough for me, especially because I mostly use the raindrop sound effect. If you routinely have troubles with sleep, then maybe you should get premium, or if you are a person who likes extensions. So far as I can tell, leaving it on all night doesn’t use much more than about 3%, but this could definitely vary. The user-friendliness of SleepSounds is very good, and the sounds themselves (rain, waves, wind, rainforest, fire, message, and lullaby) are also extremely appealing, at least to me. Again, I love SleepSounds and suggest it to everyone, no matter how successful (or poor) their sleep schedule is.

A sound for every occasion, every need, and for any person! I never thought I needed to hear water softly hitting the side of a boat...or the windshield wipers of a car during a rainy ride. My kids especially enjoy the animal noises like birds chirping in the forest, or frogs croaking at night. They also really enjoyed the sounds of distant trains and city streets. And of course, all the fan and water sounds (why I got it in the first place) are incredibly on point and soothing!
I do not enjoy the sounds where there are voices in the background. But that’s just my personal preference. They’re actually pretty cool.

I downloaded the free one week trial, wish I could keep it forever!

I liked SleepSounds at first, the the preloaded package left something to be desired. All of the sounds on SleepSounds sound very synthesized an echo you like they were done in the studio. The one sound with the ocean waves I was looking for has a bunch of seagulls in the background which is less than relaxing. A lot of the ones that are supposed to sound like rain sound more like water dripping in a basement. Some of them that are supposed to sound like a waterfalls sound like someone poured a glass of water down the sink. There is another one where the picture looks like it's going to be a windy plain, but it sounds more like wind between two buildings in Chicago. Overall, there are only 3-4 sounds I like enough the use. I wish I would not have upgraded SleepSounds. It was A colossal waste of money.

SleepSounds does exactly what you want it to do when it comes to sleep sounds. I use it on the train every day and I’m out in seconds. BUT, if they would just update the timer to utilize different time settings it would be 5 stars. Right now you can only do 15 minutes as the longest amount of time under an hour. Why not 30? 45? For someone who uses it on a commute, I have to turn it on before I even get on the train depending on which train I take so I know it will go off and wake me up before I get to my stop. Add support for any combination of time and you have my 5th star

I love the options for sounds in SleepSounds , there's a great selection. You can individually control the volume for each sound in a mix and make mixes perfect for napping or deep sleep as well as morning wake up and relaxation or meditation in addition to individual sounds. It allows you to mark your favorite sounds and mixes for easy searching as well. Just highlight the heart sign and only your favorites will appear! Volume control in both SleepSounds as well as your device makes it easy to find that perfect level.

I have purchased several "sound" devices over the years, but something always happens to them. I was so happy when I found SleepSounds for my iPhone! Now I can listen to the sound of rainfall all night and when the alarm on my phone is set, SleepSounds will go silent while my alarm goes off. It works perfectly! There are several choices of sound for free, and others that can be purchased. If you are the type that likes or needs some kind of soothing sound for sleep, I definitely recommend you download SleepSounds! It's truly awesome:-)

I have barking dogs all around me and a train that sounds all times during the night. SleepSounds was recommended from a friend who used t while we were on vacation. I got so used to hearing it every night that I downloaded the free version once I got back. I listen to the rain/storm/wind one and I can't fall asleep unless I have it on. It drowns out the outside noise and lets me get that deep sleep I desperately need. My body relaxes and I fall asleep instantly after starting the sound. Definitely give it a try to see if you like it. You won't be disappointed.

I love SleepSounds. The sounds are high quality and sound like the real thing. You can even buy additional sounds for it. You can set the timer for as little time as you want and turn it off before the time's up, if you need to. When the timer is done, SleepSounds turns off so you don't waste your battery. I enjoy combining the sounds how I like them, so I don't have to have a water or wind sound with my combination plus you can adjust each sound. It's very easy to use. SleepSounds is a keeper.
