Haven’t even used my device two months and since the very first time using it the sounds cut off and I couldn’t get it to turn back on . I use it for my baby to sleep so you can imagine how frustrating that was . The only way to get it back on was to delete the device on the app and reinstall . Not sure if this is a usual problem or if I got a defective one but I’m highly disappointed in my purchase . Not worth the money .

The app is all around mid, and just takes half a second to respond, i have no direct complaints tho (aside from not being able to schedule a bi weekly alarm), good app, good clock, decent white noise even tho i don’t use it much. ——By Amazon Customer

Bought it as a birthday gift for our grandaughter and she loves it. ——By Amazon Customer

This is a fantastic sound machine as well as a night light. I'm excited to use it while flying because I always have a hard time sleeping due to the surrounding noise; I'm anticipating this will provide excellent noise cancellation and sound monotony. My kids despise hotel rooms, so I'm looking forward to using this as a night light instead of the intense bathroom glare in the middle of the night. ——By Amazon Customer

This can help you go to sleep and it can wake you up! There is an app so you can control it with your phone, but there are buttons on the device, too. The biggest surprise is that it comes not only with a USB cord, but with the plug, too. Don’t see plugs being included very often. It is made in China. ——By Amazon Customer

There are many light/white noise combos on the market today and this one is the best I've seen. It combines an infinitely (almost) controllable light with a sound machine that has a very good variety of sounds. The light can take on a wide variety of colors and the brightness goes from quite dim to very bright. The sounds are quite varied and have the usual suspects for these types of machines, like fans, water sounds, etc. But the sounds also include some that I haven't seen on other machines, like a whole collection of meditation sounds that I like quite well. I particularly like the Zen soundtrack. It's great for meditation or falling asleep. The sound isn't the highest quality but is perfectly adequate for the purpose. On the light itself are touch controls for brightness and volume. The real story of this lamp/sound machine is that it is controlled by an app on your phone. You first download the LaView app and sign up for an account. They send an email code and once you enter it in the app you can plug in your light, which puts it in pairing mode. In my case the app found my light right away and connected to it. Once connected you can turn the light on and off, control brightness, control volume, pick different sounds, and set an alarm. The app works very well and you get full infinite control of the volume and brightness. I like the alarm settings a lot. You can set it to be a sunrise alarm that brightens as wake up time approaches, set a fadeout sleep alarm, pick the music and volume, and alarm duration. Those settings give you an extremely controllable alarm clock. In addition, there is an Alexa skill for LaView so this lamp can be controlled by Alexa. Alexa works ok with this lamp but finer control is obtained by using the app. This lamp is very attractive in my view. The look of the base is reminiscent of the Echo Dot fabric covering, a very nice look. The clock is automatically set through your network and has a nice visible look. You can also control the brightness of the clock. The overall look of this product is terrific and it stands well on its bae. I imagine you can tell that I like this lamp/sound machine a lot. It does a lot and the app controllability sets this product apart from others in this category. All I can say in tribute is that it now stands proudly and permanently on my nightstand. ——By Amazon Customer

Overall the device is fine, easy to setup and control. Device do have some basic function to change brightness and volume without using smartphone, I would like to see it also have control to select themes and soothing sound I would also like to see it able to play music/sound from my phone by wire or wireless, and have build-in rechargable battery so I still able to use it when there is a power outage. Update: After contact their support, found out it has hidden feature to play music via bluetooth. ——By Amazon Customer

I’ve tried a couple similar devices in the past and they were fails because of the lack of a sturdy stable base. This product solves that issue by having the light embedded in a base that doesn’t move or wobble. The time shines through the fabric covered base, as bright as you want it. Huge plus for me is the option for a 24 hour clock….that’s how I think and I appreciate the display. You can chose your colors and sounds. The sounds are decently authentic, I prefer the rain. You do need a Wi-Fi connection to do the set up; that took me less than 5 minutes including the download of the app. This alarm and light has provided an answer to my issues with other devices and I love it. ——By Amazon Customer

This light has completely upgraded my nightstand. My old alarm clock had broken after working great for over 10 years and while I am sad to see it go, this wake-up light is a definite improvement in every way. First off it looks great and way more modern than my last clock and works great with the design of my nightstand. I also love how it has a wake-up light feature that is new to me and I absolutely love how it wakes me up with a sunrise effect. The light is also awesome to use as a reading light at night. It gets very bright and I can control it all with my voice using my google home. I can also change the color of the light to any color that I could want and that adds an aesthetic to my room that I did not previously have. I really like the light that has a speaker in it that works to create soothing white noise to help me fall asleep. The speaker is also great for waking up. I can customize what sound I want to wake up as an alarm along with how bright I want the light to sunrise to have the best wake-up experience.

This is very good sleep machine. Very bright and easy to set. However I dislike that you cannot say more than one wake up or sleep timer. Also the app ferris very basic and is not very polished.

I think the design elements of this white noise machine with wake-up light by LaView are stunning. It's made of a strong plastic yet the spheroid gives the appearance of glass when lit. All contol buttons are cleverly camouflaged to blend into the housing which further add to it's clean modern profile. The digital clock stands out and is easy to read against the fabric covered base. The dedicated app that controls this product is available on both Android and Apple. I synced it with my Google home assistant via Bluetooth without any issues. When positioned near my head on my bedside table, I find that the light is large and bright enough to disturb my sleep and wake me. This is my first experience using light to wake, and I find it's a far less jarring experience compared to my phone's audible alarm clock. I also am enjoying this as the perfect night light. It can be dimmed to give off the softest of glows that I find most relaxing. When lit, it's reminiscent of a modern object of art. Bottom line is that I'm enjoying this product and believe the quality is there. The manufacturer also generously offers a one year warranty from date of purchase. I've posted some photos and a brief video to give you a closer look and hope that they, along with my thoughts, help you a bit in your decision. Thank you. ——By Amazon Customer

I wanted an alarm clock for my daughter that had an app so I could change the alarm times through my phone and for the price this seemed like my best choice. Its very aesthetically pleasing and we like the color options but the app to control it is crap. Constantly says error when trying to change or add alarms. I can't figure out how to get it to turn into a night light / reading light without the app or if that's even possible. I think if the app worked better and the clock itself had more options on it , then I would like it more. We don't use Alexa so maybe it works better with that. I also didn't realize it doesn't have battery back up in case of a power outage either. ——By Amazon Customer

The device requires you to pair it to the companion app, the app is pretty good but I choose to pair it to the Tuya app instead. Both apps are pretty much the same thing but I have all my devices set up in the Tuya app so it was more convenient. Pairing to the app is what connects the device to the internet which is also how it gets the current time for the front display. When you disconnect the device and reconnect from power, it will automatically get the current time automatically, this means that the time is always accurate. The app has several alarm features and lighting features. I really like the theme features which make the LEDs behave a certain way. There is a beach theme where the LEDs change to several colors at the same time to simulate water and sand, there is also a fire pit feature where the LEDs act like a flame. I really like these features but they are very limited and you can’t program your own unless you want a single color. If they had added a thunderstorm LED theme with lightning effects I would have loved this device but for some reason they didn’t. This device also has several non looping sounds but they are complicated to access. Overall this sound machine is pretty nice, It sounds good and has lots of features in the app. If you are a fire pit or beach fan then you will love the special light features for those sounds. I rated it four stars because the sound machine is a bit more complicated than it needs to be because of the app setting layout, the special light features are also very limited and can’t be configured manually unless you want regular non moving lights. I do like that it does have regular Bluetooth for your own music. ——By Amazon Customer

The biggest dislike about this product is the app, it is so very confusing to use it seems to have multiple ways to set up an alarm, and in the end it missed a few alarms and it keeps disconnecting from the Wi-Fi. So the alarms will not go through until 40 minutes later and I just can’t take that risk if I’m going to solely rely on this machine. I wanted this to work because I don’t wanna actually have to access my phone until after I get ready, so the alarm was supposed to keep me from being distracted and staying on track, I would say it did not have such a confusing app and if it did actually work when it supposed to it’s a total keeper. If you want some thing that’s going to create ambience it’s absolutely perfect! ——By Amazon Customer

Google Play or the Apple app store to get the app to use with the phone set up was easy the directions were clear and we had no issues getting it paired. The colors are fabulous and the sounds are clear with one tap of the finger you have control of volume, brightness, We even went to the website and were impressed. We have this in our kitchen to give us a nightlight, clock, and sound which helps our dogs not get triggered by neighborhood sounds at night. We are very Impressed with LaView. ——By Amazon Customer

It's taking a few days for me to figure out what light intensity is good for me as an alarm, and doesn't jolt me awake, but with it being SO personalizable I'm sure I'll figure it out soon. Only thing that gave me trouble was it needs 2.5G I believe to connect to the internet/my the app, and I had 5G. So my tech friend had to come mess with the settings a little. Once we fixed that, I was golden and hadn't had issues. You can also change the brightness of the clock face fyi. Very nice yellow light for both evenings and morning!! So many color options if you want. I also use the night routine sound machine function to fall asleep. Just keep in mind the sounds are on a small loop and a little grainy, but not the worst. Overall I'm really loving the product and glad I didn't get a more expensive one. Fyi the manual isn't helpful for app functions, but it isn't too hard to play around with and figure out. ——By Amazon Customer

This arrived in a box and it was sealed if I’m not mistaken. It’s pretty nice duo for white noise machine with an actual clock. I find both come in handy, but I find it to be limited without the ability of Bluetooth for the asking price. The sound quality is nice and the lighting effect. The app was easy to find and wasn’t so bad connecting it. Requires 2.4gbhz network to work. No remote, but can control it from your phone device. ——By Amazon Customer

It’s cool to wake up to…definitely beats a traditional alarm clock. I like the gradual light and sound increase. It wakes me before it gets too loud. And it never gets to a point where it is jolting me awake and out of bed. I hate the heart racing feeling first thing in the morning from a traditional alarm clock. This gradual wake up is just as effective and doesn’t take much more time to accomplish the same thing. I do want to note that you need to use the app to get the most out of this noise machine. So many different patterns to choose from on the app. The fire and water effects are pretty cool. Sometimes I just turn it on in the background while I’m working or trying to relax. This little machine is my new favorite sleep butler.

It’s a little annoying that I need to control it with my phone, and sometimes have slight connection issues that resolve easily enough. It’s a nice way to wake up, assuming that I went to bed on time and got enough sleep. If you’re a heavy sleeper and it’s important to wake up on time, I recommend setting a backup alarm on your phone too, in case you sleep through the gentle alarm on this clock. It hasn’t fixed all my sleep problems, but I think it helps somewhat. Glad I bought it.

I found this sound/light machine to be an visually attractive device. I like the fabric covered base, with the embedded clock display. The disc with a front piece that has different levels of brightness and interesting lighting colors/effects. There are some buttons controls to activate the device, lower/raise light brightness, lower/raise sound volume and a reset button. The reset button, besides resetting the device, also turns Bluetooth on/off. To set the clock, set alarms, lighting color and other features requires use of the app. In fact, the app will make operating the device incredibly easy. However, it's also an obstacle to quick operation/control of the device. One of the features that attracted me to the product is the alarm clock. I don't know if it's counter productive for me to open an app, pair it with this device, and then set an alarm. It's much simpler and easier to just set the alarm on the phone. Although, you can see the lamp to come on, perhaps to simulate a sunrise. So, there are some benefits to using the device as the choice of 'alarm'. You will need to set up an account, registering the app. When you've added the device to the app, you'll have access to all the functions and controls of the device. Admittedly, control of the features is very easy with the app. However, I still would have liked access and control of the features to be on the device itself, too. In this arrangement, only the owner/holder of the phone/app has the luxury of complete access to controls/features. The sound/white noise and lighting machine is attractive, and does function well. I do like the digital clock that displays in the fabric base. I think that not having full/easy access to the features and controls limits the usability. Attached are photos to show real world images of the sound machine, with a ruler for size reference. Various angles and close ups are provided for an overview of the product. Personally, I don't like this device being too dependent upon a phone app. If it added features, then I think it adds value. But, it serves to provide access to the features and controls that should be available on the device itself. Based on these observations and considerations, this product receives a 3.75 - 4 star rating. ——By Amazon Customer

I tinnitus is getting worse and I heard these noise machines can help. Therefore, I found this one, good specs and to give this one a try. I was not disappointed, this one works great. First off, very easy to set-up. Downloading and connecting to the app was so easy right out of the box. Once I was connected, it automatically synced up the correct time and gave me all kinds of options. Secondly, the lighting is awesome where I can make it any color I want. It also allows for scenes too where I can make it do different things on different schedules, where that is so cool. Lastly, and the most important to me, is the sound. The sound effects are so real where my fav is the fountain, where the water and the bird sounds just make the tinnitus ring just go away and that makes all the difference in the world to me. Hard to show how nice this one is with just pics, so I did a video to show. No cons, it really works great for me, where I am very happy with the purchase. ——By Amazon Customer

This beautiful smart white light noise machine makes a perfect gift because it doesn’t look or feel cheap and the lighting is relaxing. Check out my video. You will need to download the app and setup an account to get the most out of this device. The amazing sounds and light illumination is created from the app. The features on this device makes it a great accent for any room and works great to relieve stress. This one is a keeper.——By Amazon Customer

I just received my White Noise Machine app and I couldn't be any happier. If you have trouble sleeping like me you are going to love this product. It has a wide variety of options and sounds you could program to fall asleep faster. Personally the sound of ocean waves sends me to sleep like a baby, that combined with the soft lights that it provide makes it so awesome. Also, you can program alarms with specific light settings so you don't wake to the usual horrible sounds alarms. Overall, I really liked this product and I would recommend even for your baby.——By Amazon Customer

It can connect to our Alexa and my son can easily control it through that.
