Nature for All
Naturespace for iOS and Android is an effective, drug-free solution for combating stress and anxiety, aiding sleep and relaxation, and enhancing focus and concentration. There are over 120 natural spaces and events to choose from, and each one of them captures a long and evolving landscape unfolding over time. The average length of a Naturespace track is over 12 minutes (with many that are over 30 minutes before they seamlessly loop), creating an infinite listening experience without the artificial repetitiveness of shorter loops.
Users have reported that Naturespace is effective in coping with insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, tinnitus, chronic pain, and more. Download the free app here.
Naturespace's holographic audio has a wide range of uses and benefits for daily life. Below are some of our recommended uses and user testimonials.
Insomnia
Naturespace is an excellent noise-masking tool, but what makes it superior to white noise is that our night recordings actually make you sleepy. Realistic, peaceful nature sounds send a signal to your subconscious that it is safe to relax, enabling you to fall asleep quickly and naturally.
Here's what some of our iOS reviewers have to say on Naturespace and insomnia (all testimonials are from our public iTunes reviews):
I suffer from chronic pain, depression, and insomnia. I can't begin to tell you how much this app has helped me deal with these issues! Just by focusing on and immersing in the many excellent tracks, I can tune out the chaotic noise of the here and now and just forget for awhile. Odin is my go-to track for sleeping and Daybreak Songbirds or Utopia will brighten your mornings. One of the recently released tracks, Sheltered, took me back to a time and place where I last felt at peace, hearing the light rain on the roof and the thunder all around, echoing off the mountains... If you're looking for high quality holographic tracks, look no further. I cannot recommend this app high enough. And if your mind and body needs a way to recuperate or just to recharge your soul with meditation, this app may very well help your healing.
I purchased this app about 16 months ago and have used various sound tracks for pain relief, anxiety suppression, insomnia, mood elevation, concentration enhancement and various other benefits. It is extraordinarily effective and its benefits rapidly take hold with my Bose over-ear headset. It benefits are truly remarkable and even continue after I must power down the app, say when entering a work situation. If you need relief, motivation, focus or any number of other benefits you cannot go wrong with this unmatched app.
This app is like no other. What makes Naturespace so special is the unparalleled catalog of exceptional recordings. I have suffered with insomnia and anxiety problems for years, but including the sounds from this app in my daily routine have given me peace and rest unlike any I've found from any other product. Sure, the tracks may be a bit pricy, but you totally get what you pay for! Developers, please update for iPhone 5! Thank you!
I can never sleep anywhere - now with the magic of Camping in the Rain, I'm out in moments. Absolutely worth every penny.
This is such a wonderful app. The best that I've found. I have horrible insomnia, I'm a night shift worker, and live in a noisy apartment. This app does wonders for peace and sanity in not so favorable conditions. It is a bit on the high side but is worth every penny. They have something for any occasion. Thanks so much for putting time and effort into this.
This app will relax you and bring you to the calming place of your choice. Even when riding the subway I can drown out a crying child or loud conversation with this app. Great for reading, concentrating and lulling your mind to sleep.
You won't find sound quality this good elsewhere. Stunning. I am constantly recommending Naturespace to people. There's a lot of different types of things I listen to to combat insomnia, but I'd guess I choose Naturespace at least three times a week. Insomnia isn't a problem anymore.
I have terrible insomnia, and I troll the App Store for sounds of the one thing that drops me off to sleep: good ocean wave sounds. It is really hard to find realistic sounds. It is hard when I grew up by the sea. But this app is outstanding for its quality and number of different ocean waves that are just heavenly. And I have found some other really cool tracks that have helped lull me to sleep, too! Yes, the tracks are more costly than others, but the quality is something out of this world.
This is truly the best application for the job. It gets me to sleep and keeps me there. That reason alone is enough to make me love it, but sleeping is not the only thing I use this application for. I can take a mini vacation anytime I choose. I can escape any environment I choose, and I don't need a plane ticket or have to worry about losing my luggage. This is my favorite out of all the apps I own. Nice job and keep up the good work nature space.
Productivity, focus, and creativity
Working in a loud, chaotic (or unnaturally silent) environment is distracting at best. Noise pollution and other intrusive sounds are almost inescapable in modern life, but at a cost; it demands mental energy to process unwelcome sounds and creates a feeling of unease. Naturespace is a simple, two-fold solution: our superior nature recordings mask noise better than any other white noise app or machine, and our peaceful, daytime nature soundscapes allow your subconscious mind to rest and take a break from processing complex background noise. This frees up your brain to focus on what's in front of you and to be fully creative.
Our listeners are writers, painters, comic book artists, sculptors, journalists, students, and anyone whose work demands a high degree of focus and/or creativity.
Here's what some of our iOS reviewers have said about Naturespace, productivity, and creativity (all testimonials are from our public iTunes reviews):
What a stunning idea and a beautiful looking App!!! - it's very nice to use. Particularly convenient is the ability to make in-App purchases without the tedium of opening up another App. But the ability to transport you into another glorious dimension makes this App a haven for the weary. I use it more and more all the time as it is a refuge from the hubbub without actually being distracting - this is why writers and artists escape to the wilderness - nature sounds stimulate the creative mechanism. The holographic sound is truly gorgeous and it's astounding how well it works to revive body and mind.
I love this to get into a perfect headspace for work. I let the soundscapes close the leaking holes of my attention when I need to hunker down and finish something important. My favorite tracks (mostly the abstract/melodic ones) are a seamless combination of balanced melodies and outside ambience. I prefer the Newton under a tree naturespace for blocking everything and making me feel focused. I play the Hansel and Gretel naturespace when I need to feel like I'm back home. The support crew is awesome, even though I have not had any trouble I have contacted them before accidentally and they were super friendly and excited to help were I to one day have trouble. Very glad to see they are crafting new naturespaces these past few months.
I use this app often throughout my busy day -- while I work at home, at our retail space, at the yoga studio where I teach, and finally, to help me drift off into sleep. I have my favorites, but I enjoy them all. Great sound quality. I have fooled my yoga students into thinking it was beginning to rain, or that we were getting a larger than usual flock of birds outside. I like that they loop at long intervals so that you don't recognize a pattern. Highly recommended for all occasions but especially for chilling out while studying, working or simply relaxing with a book at the end of the day.
I use this at work all the time! I get tired of hunting down some music to listen to, and always return to nature space for good background noise to focus to.
this is everything I've been looking for in terms of good natural sounds to listen to while trying to focus and study or to relax before going to bed. thank you to the developers for making such a perfectly done app!
This collection of high-quality soundscapes keeps out unwanted noise and helps keep you focused and relaxed. Whether resting or thinking, these pleasing natural sounds keep you there.
I love listening to the sounds of birds outside when I'm studying, it helps me stay focused and breathing deeply. Many, many choices and nice long recordings so my brain doesn't hear the looping pattern.
Superlative sound that immerses you in a world all of your own. Amazing on earbuds, headphones and speakers alike. The sound this app puts out can close you off from the rest of the world, help with meditation, focus you to get some serious work done, relax you and literally drain the tension out of your mind and body. Want peace and balance? Look no further! This is hands down one of my favourite apps in the history of ever.
.... This is the ambient music/environmental soundscape tool you have been looking for to assist you in completely focusing on the task at hand. Download it now, use it copiously. You won't be disappointed.
Families and Maternity
Whether you're expecting, or already raising children of your own, Naturespace has something to offer. We've tailored our catalog to include some of the most relaxing, sleep-inducing nature recordings on the planet, which have just as strong of an effect on children as it does on adults. We are proud of the diversity and variety in our catalog as well; we've rendered farmyards, scuba adventures, and space trips in stunning 3D to engross and entertain listeners of all ages.
Here's what our iOS users say about Naturespace and families (all testimonials are our public iTunes reviews):
My wife has just gone through her entire labour and delivery of our first-born with the help of the "Unity" Naturescape. Thank you! Fantastic product!
Wonderful app with great sense of space and sound! My kids love the sound and prefer this app to music at the end of the day. The highest praise I can give it is this: My family has a summer house on the Midcoast of Maine, right on the ocean. The sound of the waves on the beach through my open window at night is one of my favorite sounds from childhood, and last summer we had a stretch of bathtub-calm weather with absolutely NO surf at night. It was just too quiet. I set the sleep timer and picked the kids' favorite ocean track... and we slept like babies, our brains convinced that all was as it should be, ocean and all. Love it!
This app has helped me calm down and relax for years. And now it's helping my kids slow down at the end of the day and get to sleep at night. Thank you so much for this app. I love it. My kids love it. Can't wait for the 'Complete through 2015' purchase option so I can get back up to date!
People get so caught up in themselves when they are asked to review something on the Internet. Well let's avoid that here. Plain and simple, this is a great app with loads of sound options to meet your personal preferences. Shelter has been putting me to sleep for over a year, while Indigo Rain has been putting my friends newborn to sleep for 4 months now. So you could say it's kid tested and mother approved. Haven't even needed any of the fade in/out options. Just turn it on and goodnight.
I LOVE its tropical sounds --the best! I sleep with it every night; my kid loves it too. It reminds us of those tropical nights in beautiful Puerto Rico.
PTSD and Chronic Pain
We've discovered that Naturespace is not only a powerful tool for managing stress and anxiety; many users report that Naturespace is beneficial for coping with PTSD, chronic pain, and illness. Here's what our users have to say:
I suffer from chronic pain, depression, and insomnia. I can't begin to tell you how much this app has helped me deal with these issues! Just by focusing on and immersing in the many excellent tracks, I can tune out the chaotic noise of the here and now and just forget for awhile.

And if your mind and body needs a way to recuperate or just to recharge your soul with meditation, this app may very well help your healing.
As a sufferer of PTSD and Depression I have been looking for relaxing sounds (without music) for a long time. Nature Space offers that plus more. Put on a decent set of headphones, select where you would like to be in the world, close your eyes and drift away. It has helped my anxiety dramatically. It is simply brilliant and I can't wait for more. Great work people.
can't sleep without it, as a combat veteran this also helps ease my anxiety I LOVE THIS APP
Naturespace app allows me to go to sleep without the tv on! Some of the water sounds remind me of my Navy days being about to sea! Thank you Naturespace you have helped me along with my fellow veterans out there.
I suffer from insomnia as well as PTSD so this app has helped me fall asleep and stay asleep longer at night now. Setting the timer and letting it turn off by itself is the best part.
Tinnitus
Audiologists recommend sound therapy for managing tinnitus; our users report that Naturespace is effective at masking tinnitus and distracting sufferers to provide relief. Here's what some of our reviewers have to say:
I have tinnitus, and this replaces that ringing in my ears with beautiful sounds of nature flowing through my head. However, these tracks are good for much more than just sleep. They are great background sounds for so many daily activities. I searched for so long in the App Store and tried quite a few apps before I ran across Naturespace. I now keep up with updates on their Facebook page. Keep up the good work
I have tinnitus from 25 years in the army as an artillery officer. The ringing magnifies when I lie down to sleep at night...it used to keep me awake for hours. I sought help and it was recommended that I download a soothing sound app. So I searched and I found Nature Space and I am so glad I did! I set the timer for three hours and play my favorite sound, infinite shoreline, and within minutes I am sleeping! It is wonderful!
If you are looking for audio tracks to help with your Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, you can use these. I have had to contact the customer support several times due to a few different issues. Usually with me having a new phone or something. They were always prompt response and very helpful. When you buy an iPhone, and if you like your ears, download this application.
I need sound to help me fall asleep, help with my anxiety, and help me mask my tinnitus. I have been able to find something for all of that with this app. As one reviewer has noted there is no "tinnitus masking" sound recording and he prefers the ones where you can mix your own but that is personal preference. There are recordings here that do help mask my tinnitus. And while, yes, they are not free - they are well worth the minimal cost of freedom.
Acessibility with VOICEOVER
Naturespace is fully Apple Voiceover-compatible for iOS users who are blind or vision-impaired.
The newest update of NatureSpace is nothing short of perfect. the recordings are of fabulous quality. It is like being right there where the recording was made. The sound is so clear and realistic that the listener can tell whether trees are close and densely growing or whether the area is open. Now that all functions of the app work with VoiceOver, I can now enjoy all aspects of the app. I am pleased with the new wake up timer because that was something I was waiting for. Thanks for a great app.
What a beautiful day! I'm sitting outside with my laptop, typing this review with a lake behind me... Whoa! A bird just took off and flew right past my head! Ha ha! Psych! I'm actually inside right now, but the sounds in this app are so realistic that, if I listen long enough, I can almost forget where I really am for a few minutes. It actually seems like I am in the environment that each track portrays. This app is absolutely amazing! I listen to it while going to sleep, to drown out my mom's hard rock music, and it especially helps me when I feel upset. I have a tendency to get scared very easily. For instance, I can't watch horror flicks because, if I do, a particularly shocking and scary scene from that movie will get stuck in my head and play over and over again. However, when that happens, the first thing I do is fire up NatureSpace. The serene sounds in this app are so realistic that, after listening for only a few minutes, my mind is very easily transported to a much safer, calmer place and time where that horror flick can't get me anymore. Just a few moments with NatureSpace takes my mind from frantic and fearful to calm and happy. It's amazing what a little 3d sound can do! I just bought a new track today to add to the huge collection I already have, and I'm looking at the albums you can get from iTunes from the links inside the app. Oh, and I didn't mention that NatureSpace is perfectly accessible with VoiceOver, the iPhone's built-in screen reader for the visually impaired. That's a big, huge plus for me because I'm totally blind, and I can use this app with no problem. Way to go! I would highly recommend this app to anyone, even to those who are not into relaxation apps like I am. Even my mom is hooked on NatureSpace. She can't go to sleep without it. The only suggestion I would make is that it would be nice to have an alarmclock feature. I would love to wake up to the Daybreak Songbirds track while at the same time, being able to use a contrasting track like Rain into Water to help me sleep. Anyway, this is a wonderful app which has found a permanent place on my iPhone.
I really enjoy Nature Space. Being blind, I focus on the sounds of nature since I cannot focus on its visual aspects. All I have to do is plug in the headphones and I am alone in the woods sitting on a log in dappled shade.
Lately I've been really enjoying the rain sounds in this app.also, when the people around us decide to play their heavy bass, some of the sounds mask the base really well. I am so satisfied with this app. This is a really enjoyable app. It's practically the onlyApp I use for relaxation. I like that the different scapes are in stereo. And, I really love the animals and environmental sounds. I'm not so much into the sci-fi and abstract ones, but I think it is neat that they have it available for those who are into that. It's a great app. Keep up the good work. I also really like that this app is really accessible. As a blind person, I love that this app can be used with voiceover seamlessly. Thank you so much and I hope that you keep up the excess ability to.i've told all of my other friends who are blind and low vision about this app. And, my husband, who is also blind, uses this app almost exclusively for relaxation and creativity. Thank you again.
I used to collect nature CDs but not anymore. I am light perception blind and was born that way so I have never seen nature. This app is absolutely amazing. I have looked for weeks trying to find an app that would help me sleep but I didn't find one until I found Naturespace. I have only bought a few tracks so far because I just discovered this app only last week. I was skeptical at first because I have tried so many other apps. I am absolutely hooked on Naturespace because I can feel like I'm there. I highly recommend this app to anybody who is going through stress, has a sleep problem or just absolutely loves nature sounds. This app is absolutely amazing. Thank you, Naturespace, for making this wonderful app accessible with voiceover. I greatly appreciate all that you do and keep up the great work Naturespace.
