A relaxation technique (relaxation training) is any method (include audio therapy, sleep sounds and nature sounds), process, procedure, or activity that helps a person to relax; to attain a state of increased calmness; or otherwise reduce levels of anxiety, stress or anger.Yoga music, massage, audio therapy, nature sounds, relax melodies, bird songs and other techniques that include deep breathing tend to calm people who are overwhelmed by stress, while rhythmic exercise improves the mental and physical health of those who are depressed. People who encounter both symptoms, feeling depressed in some ways and overexcited in others, may do best by walking, listening natural sounds of rain, thunderstorms, birds or performing yoga techniques that are focused on strength.

### 1/5 — Pas terrible

*2025-10-05, version 3.0*

Des pubs intempestives et des loop trop courtes ex la forêt ou un oiseau crie toutes les 6 secondes… il y a mieux

### 4/5 — Decent

*2022-05-09, version 3.0*

It’s a great app but it only has peaceful  NATURE sounds I suggest adding some peaceful music (no words).

### 1/5 — Deleted!

*2022-02-21, version 3.0*

“Gentle rain” is relaxing and soothing. When it’s got a screaming lake  loon squawking in the background, it’s disturbing. Moving on, finding something less squawky.

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍👍

*2021-08-30, version 3.0*

seriously its very good sound app, i really like its clearness and high quality records and most important is the ability to lower or up a soecific sound such as raising thunder sound or lower the frog sound😬seriously thanks

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2021-05-17, version 3.0*

When YouTube bed time music won’t work

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2020-09-27, version 3.0*

I just switched from an android phone to an iPhone, and on my old phone I had an app similar but better. I could pick and choose the background sounds and their volume. That was perfect. This app doesn’t have that feature.

### 5/5 — Good free app

*2020-07-31, version 3.0*

Good app

### 5/5 — I love the app!❤️

*2020-07-08, version 3.0*

I love this app. It is amazing. I put on one of the sounds and almost fell asleep sitting up on the couch, I was fighting the sleep. I love using the app for falling asleep, but sometimes I use it just to calm done and relieve stress. I got the idea to download it from my friend. She had it and turned it on in the car and it was soo relaxing so I downloaded it. I have only had this app for 3 days and I love it!!❤️❤️ I highly recommend this app. I don’t think there is anything that could make it better.

### 5/5 — The music can be turned down

*2020-04-14, version 3.0*

These nature sounds give you the option of listening to just the waterfall, the campfire, etc., or keeping the added “background” music and animal sounds. Keep all the sounds or choose to turn off the background sounds. There are many nature options to choose from.  The quality of the nature sounds are great and I have had much deeper and longer sleep from the very first night.  All this ... for free!  Really a fantastic little app!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-04-09, version 3.0*

En ces moments de confinement c’est l’application idéale pour s’évader. On peut régler les bruits de fond. Sur mon balcon au soleil, les yeux fermés, on s’y croirait.
