## What is Sound Relaxed?

Sound relaxed is an audio based application developed to help with sleeping problems and Tinnitus. It can also be used to listen to music from your music library and streaming radio stations.

Fetaures:
1. Preloaded audio sounds
Specially selected audio samples which help you relax and drift away to
2. Play audio from your music library
This app harvests the content of your music library so you can playback your own music tracks and albums from within the app itself. This allows you to apply the same timers and fade features to your own music
3. Play streaming Radio
Specially selected radio stations have been preloaded for that soothing background streaming audio. The timers and fade feature can also be applied with this option
4. Apply a timer to set the duration of play
All the music playback options support the ability to apply a duration timer so that the playback will stop when the timer expires.
5. Apply a fade timer
The fade timer will automatically adjust the volume by a defined number of minutes from the end of the set duration, which provides a gentle fade to 0 so you can drop off easily.

In-App purchase package
1. Ability to add your own radio stations
If you have a favourite radio station you like to listen to then you can add this to your list if the station supports streaming audio over the internet.
2. Additional pre loaded audio effects
The application comes with 5 pre loaded audio sounds by default. Additional audio sounds are available as part of the in app purchase providing a greater choice for your listening.
3. Graphical visualisation effects
Although this application is predominantly audio based, we thought it would be a nice touch to add visual affects to be easy on the eye as well as the ears. This will provide a selection of colours and shapes to choose from to give that unique visualisation effect.
