Sleep Sounds and Ambient Music app review

Introduction

Sometimes it's hard to drown out the sounds as you lie in bed, or even drown out the stress and thoughts running through your head. The Sleep Sounds and Ambient Music app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone has been created to help you fall asleep easier, calm down, and really relax. This app doesn’t have to be saved just for bedtime though, as it can even give you that sense of calmness whenever you need a dose during the day.

A Touch of Relaxation

The Sleep Sounds and Ambient Music app is able to add a touch of relaxation to your day/night whenever you need it. The app is meant to help you reduce your stress, help you relax when you need it, and is great for use before meditation. If you happen to be a physiotherapist or offer spa services this can act as the ideal background for clients. The app features 16 ambient music tracks, 48 nature sounds, and you have the ability to customize the soundboard to your liking. What this means is that you can set the volume levels, combine sounds, and then save your very own creations.

Once you purchase the app you can then make in-app purchases of music collections. These are all available for $0.99 each and include such offerings as ocean and waves, classic music, lullabies, etc. The app requires iOS 7.0 or later to use and in its' most recent update there were new sounds added and a bug fix. This one seems to be delivering to users in a big way and has 4.5 out of five stars.

These pictures have been picked to go along with the sounds so that you are getting more than just an audio experience.
