There are few things in life worse than suffering through a terrible bout of insomnia. Many different things can trigger insomnia but it’s almost always due to some kind of stress in your life. Fortunately the App Store is full of apps designed to help you deal with stress: everything from great quotes to help put things in perspective to soothing sounds to help you relax. Soundrown is a simple little app in this latter category that is designed to help you relax and meditate when you’ve been faced with a stressful situation This app is available for purchase from the App Store at a cost of $0.99 and it’s compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. 

Relax to Soothing Sounds

There are certain sounds that are very effective in helping us relax, things like the sound of crashing waves on a beach or the soft pitter patter of gently falling rain drops. The developers of Soundrown incorporate these sounds and many others as tools to help you relax and meditate. This isn’t the only app that does this but what makes Soundrown unique is how customizable it is. Most apps that provide soothing relaxing sounds for meditation feature very little control by the user. All you can do is play the sounds and hope the developer got the right mix of sounds to help you relax.

The best iPad apps for stress awareness

The ability to customize the sounds that you will include to help you sleep is a great feature but it’s not the only thing that sets this app apart. The app also includes a sleep timer which can automatically shut itself of after a predetermined time period. This is a great way to conserve your battery life. Another plus is that the sounds continue to play when your device's screen saver kicks in. If the sound cut out every time your screen went to sleep it wouldn’t be very effective. This app will require 45.9 MB of available space on your iOS device.

How it Works

This app is extremely easy to use. When you open the app you’ll see a side-scrolling list of available sounds. To activate a sound you simply tap on its icon. Each sound includes a level control so you can adjust the individual volume of each sound. Another cool feature of this app is that you can activate as many of the available sounds at one time as you like. For example, you might have the sounds of waves crashing on the beach, chimes blowing in the wind, and rain falling in the background all running at the same time. It’s entirely customizable based on what works for you.

If you want to make sure the app turns off after a set amount of time you can turn on the timer by tapping on the settings icon in the middle of the screen on the left-hand side. The timer can be set for anywhere between 1 minute and 90 minutes so you don’t have to worry about it running all night. It’s just another feature the developers have included to help with your peace of mind.
