White noise is hands-down the best and easiest thing you can use to help you and your baby sleep better. White noise creates a safe space for them by blocking out that stimulation. They fall asleep more easily and stay asleep longer. It also helps to block out the noise of life (older siblings, doorbells, ringing phones, etc.) that can interfere with naps and night sleep. Did you know that hushing sounds mothers and fathers make is exactly the same as white noise? Important is, that the white noise is louder than the screaming baby, otherwise the baby cant hear the sound over his own cries. An alternative would be a running tab or a hair dryer. Using these methods are highly unpractically and are hard to carry a long. The volume should be around 50db, which sounds like someone taking a shower in the same room.
So why is there yet another app for white noise in the App Store? Being father of a little baby myself, our family had very good experience with white noise. It helped our baby to become calm and to fall asleep easier. I did not like that many other apps have a lot of settings and options you can fiddle with. I wanted to create something simple and beautiful that just works. Using it just for myself and providing it to friends I decided to make it now accessible for anyone with an iPhone. So what is the differences to other white noise apps?
Beautiful and simple interface working hand in hand with the new iOS 7 look and feel.
One button to switch the white noise on and off. So nothing to fiddle with if you have an upset child and just one hand free.
Four different high quality sounds: White noise, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer and heartbeat.
If you like you can set a timer and the sound will automatically stop after 15, 30 or 45 minutes.
The app also works in silent mode, so you dont have to be afraid that your baby is woken up by an incoming message or phone call.
Once the white noise is started the screen brightness will be reduced to save your phones battery. Also your baby wont be distracted by the device.
And why is it not free? Designing and developing and app is a lot of hard and time consuming work. I am sure this app will make your and your babies life easier. So just look at it as just a small thank you token.
If you would like to have something added to the app or you want to share your ideas how to make it better just let me know. I am always there to help.
