PLEASE let me save my perfect scene by CyberCraft RobotsI spent a bunch of time mixing the perfect scene for me and was ASTOUNDED that it just went away when I went to check out the premixed scenes. Please may I keep my own? This whole app seems like a waste if I have to stay awake to remix my sleep scene before I go to sleep...
:-) by anonymI use this app every day when I go to sleep. I enjoy all the different sounds. Very relaxing. It helps to slow my mind down. Thanks for fixing the issue. 5/5
Crashing constantly by anonymSince my phone upgrade to lollipop 5.0, the program crashes frequently. In fact, if I try to use the white noise plug-in, my phone locks up. Had to uninstall. Please fix! 2/5
Good but... by anonymStandard lightning bug is good but new plugins seem to crash it 3/5
by anonymGreat app. I can't go to sleep without it! 5/5
Works flawlessly by anonymBeen using for years on my EVO & now my Galaxy S5. I 5/5
Seems to get worse by anonymIt used to be amazing, and its still my go-to. However, lately its been freezing or just dies out and stops way before the sleep timer is set. Ive had this on every phone, and through my 5 yr olds Infancy and now my newest addition, but it stopping before the 15 really screws me up. :/ please fix this. 3/5
by anonymLove it, I live by freeway so this helps me sleep like a baby 5/5
Have loved this for years by anonymBut it just started having intermittent gaps on my S2 again last week, even with the "fix" turned on. Works fine on my S4 4.4.2. 4/5
by anonymEver since I installed this, it hasn't been able to run. I keep getting the same message "Sorry,Lightning Bug has stopped working" :0p 2/5
Still the best by anonymThe only app I have used every day for at least 5 years. It is the only clock app I have come across that actually gives you a black background with dark font so you can sleep without the numbers blaring in your face. 5/5
Long time user- tons of beautiful sounds by anonymTried a lot of them but this one was the best. Been using it for at least a year or more. Had a few minor issues when I first got it, but Dev was really helpful and it works like a charm. Beautiful images! 5/5
10 stars!!! Wonderful! I even use it to relax! by anonymMany sounds you can mix, and adjust volumn on ea individual sound in your mix. Has clock, weather, alarm, shut off sleep times.....what more could you want? Seamless? Yes, even that! Backgrounds? Beautiful ones! Love this! 5/5
Best app ever by anonymI switched back from 2 years on windows phone just to get LB back 5/5
After update, no sound by anonymIcons for sounds gone, no audio at full volume. Does not work. HTC One M7 1/5
One of my Most Favorite Apps by anonymSoooo Cooool & Sooooth-ing Zzzzzzzzzzzzz Thk-U Lightening Bug Developerzzzz 5/5
My favourite sleep application by anonymI have tried several different sleep applications to no avail. I came across this application and fell in love with it. It really helps to fall asleep and to stay asleep. Keep up the great work! 5/5
Deserves More Recognition by anonymI'm disappointed only in the fact that I can't give this app more than 5 stars. I turned this on last night and I slept SO well. 5/5
Skips by anonymIt will go quite and then start again at least 3 times a night. It use to not do that. Maybe its because i have S6, i don't know. S5 ran lollipop and it didn't skip on it . 2/5
I love sleeping even more now by anonymThis app is great. Sometimes I lay in bed for hours, just thinking about stuff. When I put on the custom rain sounds I just get too sleepy and relaxed to think about stuff. I've set it for 15 and 30 minutes, and never have I stayed awake long enough to hear the timer stop playing the sounds. Recommended for the night owls who can't hit the off switch on their brains. 5/5
Lighting Bug by anonymThis terrific several "mood" depicts in the scene. Each is beautiful and sounds, if you wish. Colors can also changed. You will surely enjoy these terrific surrounds and sounds. :) 5/5
Can't do without by anonymA must have on every phone I've owned and a great selection of sounds 5/5
Love this app by anonymIt helps me sleep or relax With a ton of sounds and scenes i can customize! 5/5
Love this app! by anonymMore than two years later than my original review and I still love this app! 5/5
Amazing! by anonymI love being able to customize my own soundscapes. It really takes me away. The add-ons were well worth every penny too. Great app. Keep 'em coming. My only complaint is that I wish I could save my own scenes that I mix. 5/5
by anonymUsed it a lot. After updating Note 3 to kitkat the plug in only loads the clock... no picture or sound. I loved customizing them to my mood. Please fix :) wrote this in June 2014... still doesn't work. 2/5
Old school by anonymThis app has been around on playstore since the start give or take, reminds me once upon a time when samsung galaxy s2 was best phone in the world. 5/5
Problem with plugins by anonymPlugins force stop but keeps playing even after I uninstalled app. Hmmm 2/5
I will always need this app its simple but has a million uses and avaliable on most if not all the difreant devices and the alarm clock works very well by anonymI will always need this app 5/5
Consistently Great! by anonymI've had this app for several years and on many different phones. It is still just as high functioning as the first time I used it. The rain doesn't skip on a loop, which is a feat in and of itself. I've looked for a rain app and could never find one without a skip. I love this app. Well done, Bravo. The look of the menus is outdated, but I mean... It works perfectly so I'm not complaining about anything. 5/5
Great app for anyone who has trouble shutting your brain down by anonymI loved this app since I first installed it. Great variety of noise backgrounds that I'm sure anyone can find what they need. Very intuitive. 5/5
Hurray! You fixed the bug. by anonymNow I can mix my atmosphere with serenity. Lightning Bug is again one of my favorite ap's. THANKS! Is there any chance you might offer more packs? My phone isn't smart enough for AMBIO. 5/5
Good by anonymIt's got some nice sounds that can all be controlled to some degree. It got me to sleep last night with rain & thunder. Best thing is that this app's samples can also be used with Ambio, which allows you to mix all this ambiance and more with your favourite music. 4/5
Search no more ! by anonymI had originally downloaded a similar app that showed great reviews before update then bad ones after it. All great features worked only first nite. Exactly like bad reviews complained about! Lucky I read many & one suggested Lightning Bug! Liked what I read about it & got it based on that one review from other failed app, hoping for an end to frustrating search let downs. HOORAY! Enough said. Used daily for weeks, no glitches! Recommended! 5/5
So good! by anonymHeaps of customization, easy to use. This app helps me to sleep on nights that I just can't. Thanks so much. One of my all time favorite apps. 5/5
After Upgrade...No Sound. by anonymSo, I reinstalled the packs...Even restarted the phone...Still nothing. Upgrading apps, often is not worth the hassle. Uninstalled. 1/5
Love the sounds by anonymI enjoy the variations, and combinations, of sounds you can sleep by. I used to need the noise from a fan, winter or summer, but now I just use Li6ghtning Bug. Thanks guys! 5/5
Lightning bug by anonymOnly gripe: couldn't figure out how to get correct date (in any of the offered choices). Otherwise, what I was looking for. 5/5
Wonderful App! by anonymThis one is just great. I like it more than a lot of other paid apps, including the newer one by the same developer. Just wish they would upgrade the interface and the ugly icon. 5/5
What did you do? by anonymIt worked perfectly when I installed it the first time years ago. However, the last 2 years it has slowly fallen to pieces. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several frustrating times to find no improvement. I've watched parts just disappear! For the life of me I can't get the plug ins to ACTUALLY plug in. ..go figure. Then I find out that my two most favorite free plug ins aren't even available on the list anymore-no more rustic, no more winter. Well lightning bug-no more me. I don't need it! 1/5
LOVE..... by anonymI don't love it, I'm in LOVE WITH IT! This app is the ONLY app I ever recommend, EVER! (if it don't work with ur device msg the developer & ur device provider, so you can get it!!!)(if u have probs, msg them both to get the fix!!!) I have had this for MANY YEARS and 'ambient' sleep sound helps with so many 'issues'....... I can't thank the developers enough! :D <3 5/5
