THE DESCRIPTION:
SleepStream Lite offers nine soothing sounds designed to help you fall asleep, meditate, or relax.
THE GOOD:
Each sound is very gentle and relaxing. Choose from “Cozy Fireplace,” “Mountain Winds,” “Forest Rain,” and six others. You can adjust volume and select from two binaural beats (special sounds that create barely-perceptible low-frequency pulsations) to play in the background (“Sleep” and “Energize.”). Most of the audio is realistic and it will continue to play even when your device locks. With nine options, you will likely find one that you like.
THE BAD:
Some of the sounds are more authentic than others; “Rain and Thunderstorm,” for instance, could use a little more intensity.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
This a very convenient, effective way to access relaxing sounds and the best free option available. You’ll have to upgrade to the paid version if you want more sounds or an alarm function. Try “Brain Wave” for a wider variety of functions and “Pure Sleep” for an alternative paid upgrade.
