Rater review

Helps with Tinnitus!
This is a praise and a frustration. I have Tinnitus and I discovered years ago that that the deep brown noise on a sound machine kept my Tinnitus at bay. But after several years of use, my sound machine broke. I searched many apps and I finally found this app and was able to mix some sounds to get that deep brown noise that I could only get here and it is about the only thing that helps me. That is a huge praise! So I have this app set to my favorite sound and it is on all the time while I’m at home. My only complaint is if I have it on and I get a text, call or an alert on my phone, the app CHANGES my sound to a real low and soft WHITE NOISE sound about 8-10 seconds after the alert, text or call. I have to unlock my phone, go to the app, and switch it back to my preferred sound. Imagine my frustration when I’m group texting!! EVERY SINGLE TIME! I don’t understand why they would make it change your sound about 8 seconds after you have laid your phone down! Now you have to go back, pick it back up and change it back. It’s just really frustrating. I really wish it didn’t do that!!
