Sleep Fan Reviews

by Josephsaenz

works well for while noise. can make sound, even after you press the sleep button, which is nice if u need it to be absolutely dark when you sleep. the reason I give them a 1-star review is the ads. I don’t mind the ads existing (I mean I use it while I sleep), but as of late, the ads have not been so much full-size ads with just a picture, like one would expect, but lately they’ve been videos and they are LOUD. If SleepFan is meant to be used while you’re sleeping, or getting ready to sleep, why the HECK would they have ads loud enough that they literally startle me at night and get my heart racing. I can’t help but feel like this is absolutely deliberate. 1 star until this goes away. I don’t like this at all.

I have been a user of SleepFan for years, recommended it to my family and friends. Recently, very time I click out of SleepFan or lock my phone, the fan noise stops. I don’t know why and it’s driving me kind of nuts. And I tried to just have my phone open while playing the fan, but since I play it all night my phone literally overheated and I couldn’t use it( my phone is an iPhone 11). Please help fix this issue! I would be more than happy to change my review once the change is made!

Normally I would say I love this ap, I use it every single night. Lately however, unfortunately the advertisements they force you to click through before you can use the ap are purposely designed to keep you from being able to quickly click through them. They've made it so that the X icons to close them don't actually work the first 9 or 10 times you try to press it, which is an obvious ploy to make sure poeple are actually looking at the advertisements before it lets you close them. But they don't seem to realize that this is the worse ap to "f" with people like that because by the time you're ready to turn the ap on, you're dead tired and irritable and barely able to keep your eyes open, and the last thing you have patience for is incredibly annoying and persistent advertisements that won't let you close them. If they can fix that issue, I'll revise my rating to 5 stars.

Love SleepFan , thanks for helping me sleep. However, with the new update the sound will stop if I lock my phone or minimize SleepFan and it didn’t do that before. Can you revert it back so that it keeps making sound even after locking phone? Also, when I scroll to 11 hours to set the time I have to wait until it rests on 11 before selecting done or it won’t register. Can you fix it so I can just scroll to the end and hit done without waiting for it to finish resting on 11?

SleepFan is the only way I can fall asleep within minutes. I can even take a quick nap and fall asleep by listening to this. You don't need an actual fan to hear the noise, and I like that because fans sometimes dry the air out really bad. Another cool thing is once you're used to sleeping with it you can use it as an alarm. I wake up when the fan stops. So time it to when you need to wake up and it's more gentle than an alarm. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because sometimes SleepFan won't open, or run or whatever, and it freezes. I've even had to delete it and download it again. This always seems to happen when I am exhausted too. All in all a fantastic sleep aid.

Pretty cool app. Saving me right now because I'm traveling without my white noise machine. I used to have a different app I liked better where you could combine noises but this one is OK. I don't like that you have to set timer each time, it could be an option but it's a hassle when going through fans to see which one you like. In general I would prefer to pay a couple dollars for an app I really like then to see the advertising. Actually the only fan noise I even like is the first one.

I usually sleep with a fan on so this is great when there’s no fan around. I’ve been using this fan app since I was 13 now I’m almost 20 and still use it. It’s great when ur away or at someone’s house and just want to sleep. SleepFan has really helped in many ways and if you’re someone who needs a fan to sleep like me, I suggest highly to download it.

You would think I’m a heavy sleeper the way I can sleep through the night without waking up to small noises, but it’s the way SleepFan can drown out background noises so well. I like that there’s 4 different options of fan sounds and you can set a timer on them. Each one to me has a smoothing sound as I just generally like the white noise from fans. Highly recommend!

I can't believe I haven't written a review for SleepFan yet. It's so easy to use and the fan sounds help go to sleep instantly. I've been using SleepFan for a long time and never had a problem with it. I recommend SleepFan to anyone looking for fan sounds to help sleep. Thanks for SleepFan !

I have been using SleepFan for many years. Probably around the time it was first released. It helps me fall asleep fast, cured my insomnia and blocks out all other noises. Seems like the sounds are exclusive to SleepFan since I have tried others and none have this exact sound. I don’t mind though, I love SleepFan and it has become a crucial part of my routine.

I tried a bunch of different fan apps and this one is the best one. Different kinds of fans to find your perfect sound to fall asleep too, all really high quality. It has a timer so I guess you could use it to wake up if you wanted to/could. We love it, it's a must have when we travel. The ads are not a problem at all. Make your money Sleep Fan, thanks for the free service!

I’ve always had a hard time sleeping without a fan running in the background, I burned through more fans then I can count though the years and traveling was horrible because I couldn’t take a fan with me and there are plenty of times there isn’t anything to be used. One night I was traveling and I was desperate for sleep so I tried several apps but none worked as I could pick up the repeating sound over and over. I found this one and it’s been working so great! I have no problem keeping my iPhone or iPad plugged in all night and letting SleepFan run. It really is the best sleep aid!!

I’ve tried a lot of apps, some with subscriptions. This one is free, and it has a great timer feature. It helps when the hubby is up still and moving around and overall helps me settle down. I have a nonverbal learning disability and SleepFan really helps soothe me when I get overstimulated. 10/10 recommend. Going to try their meditation noise one for meditating too.

SleepFan absolutely saved my husband and I on our week long vacation. We forgot our box fan that we sleep with every night, as I was on the way to Walmart to buy another fan, my brother in law told us about SleepFan and we were able to keep some extra spending money in our pocket! I am not kidding, if you have gotten into the addictive habit of using white noise to sleep at night, SleepFan is the perfect travel happy version.

For longer than I can remember I’ve been mostly getting 4-5 hours sleep a night. I’ve tried those nature sounds apps, melatonin, meditation, and breathing exercises they all worked but it generally took an hour or two. I’ve consistently slept over 7 hrs each night for the last 2 weeks since using SleepFan, and I’m asleep in minutes. Seriously thank you I finally feel rested in the morning, my mood has improved, and my energy level has increased.

Absolutely have loved SleepFan for years and for the longest time the fan noise has continued whether you locked your phone or went to another app. I just experienced for the first time SleepFan not working if you lock your phone and just used the noise anyways but woke up and my phone was at a crazy high temperature from being unlocked and used all night... has anyone else experienced this problem?

by SoCuteBleh1345

SleepFan has been awesome, when I got over to my friends house a lot of them don’t have fans so I search for fan apps and I look at the reviews and a lot of them are bad reviews or horrible sounds. I tried SleepFan because I was tired and ready to go to sleep and my friends had no fan so I was searching all the reviews are good and SleepFan is the best I will use it every time I got to a friends house even if they have a fan! 😂😂 SleepFan is amazing though I will use this forever I can finally go to sleep now hallelujah!! 😴🙏✨⭐️🌙

That sounds ridiculous but it's true. I hate being cold, I don't need a fan for at least 9 months out of the year as long as I continue to find myself in a situation financially stable enough to have AC during the summer.. SleepFan has the box fan noise I grew up with during my childhood. It's wonderful and you can set it for a timer. Im so used to it that I immediately wake up when it stops. I also recently added a stream noise with another app and this one still plays in the background.. so now I feel like I'm sleeping in a cabin with a fan with a stream out back. IT IS MAGICAL.

I love SleepFan!! 6+ years finally time to rate and review..give respect, pay it forward, appreciate the small things!! This FREE app is so worth the few seconds of advertising, sleep is essential and SleepFan helps to facilitate slumber. Also, the people who are complaining are somehow missing out on the fact that a lot of people spent a lot of time developing SleepFan and that in order for progression to occur, people should be compensated for their valuable time... So yeah, this is the absolute best app to drown out city / roommate noise, and it’s multi faceted. Thanks for lulling my to sleep every night! (Priceless)

SleepFan is fantastic and puts me (and anyone that’s around me- friends or bf) right to bed. I’ve tried other apps with all the fancy noises, but they never seem to work out for me. They also have those dumb packages you can buy for certain noise types- also annoying. I like that I don’t have to buy anything on here and the sounds are spot on. I normally use a fan for spring and summer, but SleepFan is perfect for colder weather. I don’t mind the ad issue, everyone’s got to make their money somehow. Great job guys. ☺️
