Sleep Bug: White Noise Soundscapes & Music Box for Android
I had this app with my Windows Phone and loved it. I had the free version, then paid. Now that I have an Android phone it skips. I can't sleep with the constant skipping. My husband emailed the developer to see about a fix because he seemed good about responding, but we never heard back. Sad because the app I have to use now isn't very good. I wish this one would work for me.
When I press the play/pause button a few times all the sounds disappeared and even after restarting the app didn't help. Only solution so far is restarting the phone. Please fix this bug. Another bug I came across is after adjusting the volume slider for specific sounds it auto resets to default for some of the themes. Otherwise it's a good app.
I don't always need this kind of noisemaker app to help me fall asleep, so I haven't used this in a while. 2 nights ago I had my phone plugged in and charging, and set this to run without setting a time limit. When I awoke in the morning, my phone had rebooted during my sleep, which it never does. Original nexus 5 phone, still running android 5something.
Worked fine the first time; however afterwards it takes a few presses to get going again. Might still have a few bugs (not the noisy ones). Will keep trying it out over the next few days.
I loved this app. It helped me fall asleep so easily- especially the birds. I decided to pay for the premium to try out others, and now, suddenly, it stops working. Just decided it doesn't want to make any noise sometimes, sometimes just the extra sounds effects don't work, and sometimes it's perfectly fine. Really annoying, as this happened literally right after paying.
Takes up far too much space. Developer has replied that has given sound files to save users downloading. Perhaps a choice or the option to delete individual not liked/unused sound files from within the app would be good.
Thank Appgratis for full version. Many choices but no tempo setting. I can't use this to relax or fall asleep without customizing the tempo. for example, the classical setting is way too fast
Supposed to be full version for free, no way to do that on mine. Will give more stars if someone decided to stand behind the offer.
I was excited for this app as I got the full version free (app gratis 12/27) however the volume disappeared as I went through the scenes. I exited and closed multiple times. I even went through every scene over and over. I went as far as uninstalling and then reinstalling. Still doesn't work and no longer have premium for free.
The best sleep/ambient noise app I have ever used. Had a Windows phone before, and was thrilled the app was available on my new Android, too!
I am impressed with this program. Thanks for a nice and customizable group of sounds. NOTE: Revised from 5 to 3 because this program really, seriously, needs to be able to be transferred to SD due to size. It can't sit where it is, hogging device storage. May have to delete.
Worked fine for the first few days. Then only some categories. Then none, un-installed and reinstalled now nothing.. was so looking forward to using this highly recommended app too. Please fix.
The weather isn't working properly it's making a very hard noise like static
I found the sounds to be harsh, not soothing. Many of the wind, rain and water sounds are synthetic or processed on short loops.
Best thing out it helps me sleep I down loaded and paid for it on my old phone but could not transfer it to my new one :(
Beautiful app, but needs ability to be moved to external storage card. Five stars once it can do that.
Top notch program. You won't find better. Full version is worth every penny.
We dont know what we'd do without your app. We use it every single night for baby. He sleeps deeper and wakes up more rested. He also doesnt hear us in the other room if we arent ready to go to bed yet. It also plays in the background if I want to use my phone to read while baby sleeps. Thank you for contributing to our lives.
Sleep Bug is fabulous. Way better then any sound machines on the market. I know - I've bought my fair share. Love everything about this app. Great graphics and a wide variety of sounds that can be customized! Other sound apps just can't compete with Sleep Bug. And tech support can't be beat. 5 stars all around.
This is a great app! Well layed out with tons of functions! Works great! Very original. Has all the classic bio- sounds and a few new one I haven't seen before! Great job! Here's one suggestion - have a free style screen where a person can use all the backgrounds and all the overlay sounds at once to make a custom sleep track.
I had this app on a previous phone & loved it! I was super excited when App Gratis had the premium version for free (12/22)! And it worked wonderfully until this morning. All the sounds have been taken away, it won't run in the background and it asks me to pay for the premium version. So I guess I'll use the free version. **Edit: I have no idea what happened, but the app is working just fine now. Thank you for reaching out to try and fix it. I'll keep your address handy in case I have any other issues.
Whenever another sound plays on the phone, the pause/play buttons lose their sense of identity and the sound keeps stopping until you relaunch. When it works it works great but then it doesn't.
There should be a more obvious way to exit from the app, other than hitting the 'back' button until it kicks us out. Just saying. Keep up the good work. Oh... and maybe a warning not to use while operating heavy machinery. :) j/k
Stopped working after 5 minutes, Samsung G7 ..no more sound. Otherwise, good variety of music genres Just wish could get a little deeper base
Dont waste your money. I was stupid enough to buy it.
This app is perfect! And if you experience any issues, the creator of the app is quick to respond and very patient...especially since the issue I was having was fixed by simply restarting my phone. I ended up purchasing the pro version because I was so pleased with everything.
There are all many sounds to enjoy on this app. No matter of you want white noise, city sounds, running water, etc. the app has it. It worked like a charm to get my kids to bed. My only gripe, and it's a little one, is that one of the sounds on the orchestra section really doesn't seem to fit with the calming orchestral sounds of the rest.
Improvement can be made to the individual volume controls. When you turn down one sound, another sound becomes loud. Can't seem to take the customization properly.
I tried, but I couldn't make it work. I looked for instruction on app, this page and even their website. All I found was advertising saying how great their product is, without instruction. More stars if developer troubleshoots on this. Let's see.
I love the fact that this app features: 1) it's free; 2) white noise works wonders for my baby, puts her to sleep every time; 3) it has additional bird/wind/thunder sounds; 4) it is available on both Android and Windows phones means anyone in the whole family can use the same sounds on their phone for my baby --> This definitely deserves a 5
Multiple customizations. Takes you away from all your worries, has very calming effect. Very difficult NOT to fall asleep listening to this.
Using an LG G4. Lobe this app on windows phone. But it won't work properly with my g4.:(
Downloaded this app from app of the day, now my sounds are all gone. It also skips on my tablet (android 5.0.2) but works fine on my phone with no skips. Wish it worked on my tablet.
My infant falls asleep to the beach noise within seconds! Love this app!
The Creator of this app ACTUALLY worked with me to fix a problem I was having and this app does in fact help me sleep a little bit easier!!
Initially downloaded this version and got it converted to pro version. The developer was very helpful in resolving the issue I'd with conversion from simple to PRO version. The content in PRO version is more than in simple and it's well worth it. Helped me in meditation, concentration and be present. Thanks sleep bug.
You can hear a click when the audio loops, making this app unusable for me.
I use this app when I'm sleeping in a new place or just can't shut my mind up at night. It really helps. The sounds are great, and the app is super simple to use.
Had it since 2009. Use it every day on vacation and on the rough nights at home.

I first got this on windows 7 after contacting the creater of this program the guy was very friendly and helpful and had no problem answering my few questions. So I can say that I stand by my review and suggest that others get this program as well. On mobile I can't get it to let me customize the scenes like I could easily do on PC
