Key takeaways for Baby Sleep Fan - White Noise
Where is it heading?
The white noise market is consolidating around apps with frequent live-ops and modern UI updates. Baby Sleep Fan remains exposed: its lack of development since 2017 makes it vulnerable to any competitor that offers a similar sound profile with a modern, ad-free experience.
- The 107-month update silence suggests abandonment, which will eventually erode the rating as modern iOS versions break core functionality.
- High user satisfaction with the core audio loops indicates that the product-market fit remains strong despite the lack of active development.
The SWOT
- Simple, single-purpose interface design allows for immediate sound activation without menu navigation
- Implementing a one-time in-app purchase to remove ads would address the top user request and improve monetization
Next best moves
Ship an ad-free Pro upgrade because users explicitly request a way to pay to remove interruptions → increase monetization

The app's 107-month update silence is its primary asset…
Read the full takeSince the last report: The app remains in a state of total development dormancy, with no functional changes or updates recorded since 2017. The primary shift is a move from a stable to a mixed market outlook, driven by the increasing risk that the 107-month update silence will lead to core functionality failure on modern iOS versions.
Bottom line
Baby Sleep Fan retains a loyal base through its simple, reliable audio loops, but the lack of updates since 2017 creates a significant churn risk. Implementing a paid, ad-free tier would unlock immediate monetization from users already satisfied with the core functionality.
