## Review summary

Sleepmaker Rain 1 is beloved for its vast library of rain sounds and its effectiveness as a sleep aid, with many long-time users. Recent updates, however, introduce major issues: audio stops when the screen is off or the app is backgrounded, timers are unreliable, ads block controls, and last-used sounds/volume become inconsistent. Despite strong positives, these usability problems drive users to seek alternatives.

### Pros

- Vast library of rain sounds and options.
- Long-time reliability; a favorite rain app for years.
- Relaxing and effective sleep aid that helps reduce stress.
- Well-regarded within the Sleepmaker app family (users appreciate multiple Sleepmaker apps).

### Cons

- Background playback stops when the screen is off or the app is in the background; cannot play in background.
- Timer reliability issues and duration limits (random cutoffs, 24-hour timer not persisting, one-hour limit in some updates).
- Ads/banner overlays interfere with access to options and UI.
- Audio stability issues (sounds changing or volume spikes) and loss of last-used sound memory after updates.
