I’ve used this app for ages, to provide white noise while I sleep. I love that you can create mixes of any sounds and I have a preferred mix I use nightly. That said, I have one big problem with the app, and that’s the incredibly tiny Play button. I have to put my glasses on and be really careful every time I hit it, because it’s so easy to accidentally pull up some random sound I don’t care about in the options near the button, which is much smaller than a human fingertip. Why so much screen space devoted to other sounds you may or may not want to listen to? The default screen should just be a big play/pause button, for the last mix you used. Yet every time I open the app, the only thing I see is a long list of “new releases” and “recommended for you” sounds that I will never listen to. And below that, in a tiny little strip of screen real estate at the bottom, is the only bit i care about, the little play button.The on/off functionality of the app is one of the main things you use it for, so the button should be prioritized visually. This seems like such a simple and obvious fix, I don’t know why it’s never been done. Tiny play/pause buttons are a pet peeve of mine in the first place, but especially for an app that you use when you’re likely to be half awake or not wearing your glasses. Cmon guys just make this one basic change, it’s a good idea!
Thank you for your valuable feedback and for being a longtime user of the app. We understand how frustrating it can be to navigate a small Play button, especially when you're half-awake or not wearing glasses. Your suggestion to make the Play/Pause button more prominent is a great one, and we've shared it with our design team for consideration in future updates. In the meantime, please note that the last sound or mix you listened to always appears at the bottom of the screen for quick access, and you can add your favorite sounds to a mix to avoid scrolling. If the text feels too small, you can also increase your phone’s text size through your device's Accessibility settings. Thanks again for your input — it really does help us make the app better for everyone.
