Ok, so I have had several different apps. I hate subscription services so I try and avoid anything that is based on that platform. However, I am a student and do require noise to drown out my wife watching TV, company that comes over, people in the library, etc... I am constantly listening to white noise or other things. However, this app has the ability to create your own soudscapes which I absolutely need. I don't want to listen to TV static for 5 straight hours so I like to layer the sounds so that it reduces my listening fatigue. This app is awesome!
