This is great, I paid for a lifetime membership to brain.fm but the app is still broken on iOS. If these can play for longer then 25 minutes (where brain.fm dies on mobile for me) then I’ve found my go-to.

myNoise is good on iOS, it's not exactly like Brain.fm but has a whole bunch of different sounds. I think the author is a member here and that's where I heard about it a few years ago. Edit: and it absolutely does play more than 25 mins, I quite often leave it on overnight playing rain noises and it's fine.

  Came here to mention mynoise. Absolutely love the website (plays all day in my home, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time curating my tunes) but think the app needs some work. If the author does indeed peruse HN, I've got a few suggestions for sounds, but I'm sure you're completely inundated by such things :) Thanks!

Damn how'd you get that lifetime membership? Seems they don't offer that any more.

  It was a special offer 3years ago to celebrate brain.fm hitting the HN front page. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11148896 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11148896

Yikes. Also have a lifetime membership, don't recall the 25-minute hiccup. Probably haven't used the app in the last 30 days, did it become broken recently? Also I've had nothing but positive experiences when emailing for help / support / suggestions, have you tried that? You probably did the lifetime membership when the intro / debut post was on HN a few years back... not sure if the app developer(s) are still active on HN (probably?) but you could probably contact / post / follow up that way too.

  Unfortunately, it has never worked for me on iOS with Bluetooth headphones. I recall submitting a support request and then seeing a fix in the App Store update but it just never worked for me, even if I download to my device. Ah well.
