About this app
Fall asleep to horror stories, with white noise underneath.
400+ narrated scary stories in chapters, no ads. Sleep-safe ones have no jump scares or sudden loud moments.
Layer white, pink or brown noise, a fan, rain, a storm or ocean waves under any story, each at its own level, or play the sounds alone for free.
Horror Hours is a horror story app built for the one time you actually listen to them — in the dark, in bed, with the lights off.
Every story is narrated and cut into chapters, so you always know where you are and can pick up exactly where you drifted off. Hundreds of tales, from creeping small-town dread to cosmic deep-water horror, read by voices that know how to hold a room at 2 a.m.
THE PART no other horror app gets right: sleep.
Turn on Sleep Mode and the whole app changes. Stories are mastered flat — no sudden loud stings, no jump scares to yank you awake.…

Five-star share of ratings
80–89% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the app package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Method and limits
What a missing label means
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Limits of this report
- A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
- Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
- Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
- A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
