Having a problem with sounds and icons disappearing?
The original version of Lightning Bug stored files to a generic folder on your SD card. But in the last year or so various anti-virus and disk utility apps have determined this type of storage is suspect and, in some cases, will automatically delete the contents of Lightning Bug's content folder. So, in our latest release, 2.9.8.1 as of this writing, we moved Lightning Bug's folder into protected app storage on your SD. This will prevent anti-virus and disk utility apps from deleting your icons and sounds.

This means that if you're sounds and icons were already gone before installing 2.9.8.1, they will still be missing. The 2.9.8.1 update will prevent your sounds and icons from going missing again, but unfortunately you'll have to re-install your plugins one more time. We're very sorry for the inconvenience!

Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for years off and on, and love it. No excess frills, plenty of loop options for my taste, and full ability to tweak frequency and volume level of each loop individually. The sleep timer is great, though I wish I could disable the screen finger because it overrides my OS screen dimmer, but this is more of a slight inconvenience than a true issue. Keep up the good work devs, and please don't drop support for this app as software evolves. My sleep would suffer greatly.

Has been the best white noise app for years. The sound loops are flawless. Many other apps use short samples that have obvious splice points, and the restart or pattern of the loop can be very distracting. You can very rarely notice the looping in Lightning Bug. This allows you to relax and drift off to sleep without distractions. I love combining similar sounds ("rain" or "waterfall") from different sample packets.

I have been using lightning bug for many years. Purchased several of the plug-ins. Great app. I have tried many other sleep sound apps and none have the flexibility of lightning bug. There was a time where the app appeared to be abandoned. Looks like they is new updates recently. There fixed the loop skip, now you need to add more sounds. Definitely enjoy the meditation pack and cubicle pi.

What's new

Local Weather has been removed. Because Lightning Bug's main purpose is not to provide you with local weather, we removed this feature to keep Lightning Bug compliant with Google Play. If you have questions, please contact [e-mail].
