ChatterBlocker App Reviews

Perfect for reading or trying to concentrate. This works better than earplugs.

I love listening to sounds of Mother Nature while working in a busy coffee shop or at the office. It definitely helps saying focused, thanks.

A great app., equivalent to ChatterBlocker on the Mac which I have been using for a number of years. My wife snores and keeps me awake at times. No "sleep noise" app. had supplied a frequency low enough and varying enough to block out her snoring. By mixing "Male Chatter - Medium" at half volume with "Creek" at full volume, I finally have an app which works great for not only blocking out TV noise while Im reading in the next room but also her snoring. Substantially different from other sleep apps, and the voice "chatter" selections make it superior in significant ways. My only complaint is that the custom mix like the one I created will not "hold" after the app is closed by tapping the home button and then removing the app from the bottom "open app" bar. In that case, I have to re-create my custom mix. Perhaps, in the absence of a sync feature, Apple makes such a thing impossible. This is a small issue, however. Highly recommended.

It works impeccably. Way better than anything else Ive tried. At $2.99, the price is extremely fair, too (though it does make me a little grumpy at having paid $20 for the Windows version). But whatever. If you need help concentrating in a louder, more chatty environment, this is the app you want.

This app was a godsend I discovered while staying in a hostel in Spain. It helped me sleep in a room with 5 other people who were snoring, whispering, talking loudly, and making noise with their suitcases. I love this app! Way more effective and relaxing than plain white noise or an oscillating fan noise.

I downloaded the app to my phone after using the Desktop version for sometime and I am thrilled with the new version. I use it at work regularly and have even used to to help a cranky baby fall asleep and stay asleep just by playing it next to the crib. Awesome!

I use this in my office to block out coworkers phone calls and other conversations. It works like magic. But the BEST application is on a crowded bus when one person nearby is blabbing at full volume. This application erases their voice from the air and makes it so I dont have to strangle them. Thank you ChatterBlocker.

Ive used Chatterblocker on the PC for years. It is worth every penny. I work at a University where we leave our doors open most the time. This app allows me to keep my door open and to tune out conversations from the hall. It is simply amazing and much better than any competitor that Ive tried. I can also work at a coffee shop and easily tune out conversations. My only gripe about the iPhone app is that it lacks the music sounds found in the pc version. Please add them to the next upgrade. Still 5 stars!

I work in a big open room with 8 other people, and some days this is the only thing that keeps me sane. It does a great job of masking out keyboard noise as well as chatter. Like the other reviewer, Id love to have the music options added for the iPhone/iPod version as well.

Chatterblocker, as its name indicates, is intended to block out sounds so that you can concentrate. It works super well with the desktop version, and I was thrilled when it came out as this iOS version. I had been using a hour-long recording of my desktop Chatterblocker before as a way of using it on the go, but this is the real thing. I dont habitually use it to block out sounds (although it does that well). I tend to use it to help me concentrate. Its often better than background music because Im not trying to not pay attention to the music. Its a lifesaving app!

This works really well. The mumbling sounds cover the speech from the cubicles around me, and the nature sounds cover the mumbling. Theres enough variety in the nature sounds that they dont become tiring to listen to. The only downside Ive noticed is that the nature sounds can be so soothing that sometimes Ill start to nod off. Im not sure what can be done about that.

Please include the "Music for Concentration" from the desktop app in the next update please.

Great app. Would like to see more sounds as in the desktop app for windows.

I have never liked something enough to write a review, but this app has been a godsend. I work in an open sales office with seriously obnoxious people at times. I mean yelling, pagers on full blast, printers, paper shredders, people in and out constantly, its like working in a zoo. I love my work and job but I seriously wanted to pull my hair out on a daily basis due to this environment. I tried noise canceling headphones, classical music, thunder storm noises, a sound machine, white noise... Then 2 years later this. Oh my gosh, all I can do is thank the people who came up with it for giving me back my sanity. The mumbling noises in the app cover chatter, laughing, yelling and if loud enough, pagers. I use it with just standard headphones. My productivity has increased significantly in the 2 months since purchasing and I no longer feel the burning desire to duct tape my coworkers mouths shut... Most of the time :)

This app is very easy to use -- just tap the sounds you like and find useful in any combination. My only disappointment is that the conversations -- especially the high pitch ones -- are very fast-paced and frankly stress me out. If slower/calmer conversations were available, I would happily pay more to include them in this program.

Just noises that u have to turn up to drown out other noise which just becomes more annoying. They have female and male chatter which is worse then the actual chatter of real people

This app is so helpful for me working in a cubicle to block out the noise around me so I can focus. Would love to see more updates with new sounds. The UI is also a little out dated.

I though it was actual noise cancelation. No , its just noises.

This seemed like a real app for canceling background noise. Its just another nature sounds app. Very disappointed.

Personal mixes are a nice feature, along with a nice menu of natural sounds. But the best part is the simulation of human speech that just drowns out actual conversation. Perfect for reclaiming your work space without the monotony of white noise.
