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!

Comments on Lightning Bug - Sleep Clock for Android
★★★★★
I've been using this app since I was a kid when my parents would play it for me on nights I had trouble sleeping, I've always loved it. It really helps get me to sleep when I can't, and the wide variety of sounds makes it that much more enjoyable to use.
★★★★★
I've been using this app for almost 14 years! Still the best sleep mixer on the app marketplace!
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work like it used to years ago. Too many glitches to mention and freezes phone. My rating has gone from 5 to 3 to 1 star over the past 10 yrs. Sad. New limited time preview of live nature stream doesn't seem to work either.
★★☆☆☆
Why has it been almost a year since it's last update? I Always loved this app when I was younger many years ago, I'd forgotten about it for a while right up until recently, but it is disappointing to see how long it goes without any updates. I see the apps layout looks extremely outdated and old, I'd really appreciate it if the creators could modernize its appearance in app. So much potential if someone actually cared to bring this app up to date, I'm positive it'd be #1
★★☆☆☆
Keeps stopping making sound for no reason on my galaxy s20fe. I've used this app for years, suddenly garbage. Why?
