Product description

Recommended as a miracle for better sleep! Find out why the world is sleeping better with White Noise. Features ambient sounds of the environment to help you relax during the day and sleep great at night.

Do you have trouble going to sleep? Are you traveling on a plane and need a quick power nap? Does your newborn baby wake up in the middle of the night? There are numerous benefits to using White Noise:

• Helps you sleep by blocking distractions
• Relaxes and reduces stress
• Pacifies fussy and crying babies
• Increases focus while enhancing privacy
• Soothes headaches and migraines
• Masks tinnitus (ringing of the ears)

Even when you’re asleep, your brain is constantly scanning and listening for sounds. If it’s too quiet, unwanted noises such as faucet drips or police sirens can interrupt your sleep. White Noise generates sounds over a wide range of frequencies, masking those noise interruptions, so you can not only fall asleep, but stay asleep.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I need to concentrate, relax or sleep
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018
I've been using the app for over 8 months. It comes with a great variety of sounds but also allows me to mix them and then fine tune the mix by volume, pitch, variance and speed. It also has a playlist of mixes which you can use or modify. I don't notice any repeat markers or rhythm effect in any of the sounds of mixes I've used which I have found in some of the apps. The brain can pick up subtle patterns after a while and any I've noticed seem to come from the rhythms found in nature. However, I stay mainly with rain and some wind and tropical sounds. Battery use is small, especially if I start it, then turn off the screen (or close the cover). I run it on both Kindle HD 8 and HD 10. On the HD 8 I notice it uses about 1% per hour of battery or maybe a little less. I run the app for periods of 8 to 12 hours at a time and with few exceptions it runs seamlessly without stuttering or pausing, even when running other apps concurrently such as reading books, browsing the web and using a calculator (all of those concurrently). I do notice that it will pause and restart if I have loaded a large number of long or complex books and have not rebooted the Kindle in a while. It's just a memory management problem which eventually any machine will have and a reboot takes care of it. I read a fairly large number of books and often switch between large volumes. This happens every three weeks or so, maybe longer. I am pleased. I sleep well with it; it blocks out extraneous noise well. I use ear buds with the Kindles. The only thing it doesn't do well is provide a good fan sound, or at least one I like. However, I use the nature sounds so much that I don't think of using a fan anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful app I have!
Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2015
This is one of, if not the, best apps I've got for the kindle. If you read some of the reviews that are a year or more old, you can see that they are improving this constantly. All the legitimate grips I saw about the app are not true now!
You have a large library of sounds to choose from. If that's not good enough, you can record your own sounds to use ! You have the ability to mix sounds together also. It allows you to set the pitch and volume of the mixed sounds so you can get it just the way you want it to sound! So you could say, there's no limits to the sounds you can hear.
One of the best things, I think, is the ability to use the program as an alarm clock. It runs in the background ( with or without the sounds ) so you can use it as a 24 hour reminder clock. I'm currently using it to help me to take medicine I have to take every four hours. You can pick the sound you want it to wake you from a large selection of sounds.
I like the fact that it will display a large set of numbers to show you the time. You can set the color and brightness of them. If you're worried about screen burn in of the numbers, it even has a setting that moves them around the screen to prevent that. And it doesn't move them so fast you get motion sickness watching it. In fact, you can't see them move! You look at the screen and think, 5 minutes ago those were at the top of the screen, now there at the bottom left corner !
Anything that I can think of that I would want an app like this to do, this does! If you're interested in something like this, you can bet the farm that you won't find a better one!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice interface!
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013
The application was attempted on Kindle fire and I am pleased to report that it does work well. The interface is clean and the sounds are good quality with nice background photos of what you are listening to. The application runs in the background and provides soothing sounds (Or white noise of your choice) while allowing you to read a book or simply do nothing but look at the clock. The Clock is big and easy to read and has a lot of alarm and snooze features. The application will consume battery for sure but this is a app I do not mind running when I am charging the kindle fire and going to sleep.

Having said, what I hate is integration of Twitter and Facebook and host of other online activity that is seen embedded in this paid application. Some applications such as these really do not need such integration. This app is for personal private use and is to be used for just that nothing more nothing less. Why Facebook? Why Twitter? when all you need is peace of mind!

With all that said, when there is a will there is a way. If you turn off your Wi-Fi and immerse yourself in the included noises you will find that it does help you concentrate on what you need to do even if it means going to sleep. Trust me with today's hectic lifestyle going to sleep also seems to be a chore!

Thanks for offering this as a FAOTD. I do appreciate it. IMHO, Remove all web integration and you have a 5 star application.
