Naturespace: Relax Sleep Dream 4+

I've read a lot of reviews recently complaining about the the UI. I respect personal preference, but can't help but feel like many of these complaints are a bit unfounded.

I've been using the app for about 3 years now, and have yet to find another that even remotely compares to the quality, creativity, and length of Naturespace tracks. The UI update was fine. Nothing life changing, but nothing detrimental either. The sleep timer is pretty slick once you set it up, which does indeed have several steps, but certainly isn't complicated. Many of her new features are simply visual: prettier, bigger track images and higher saturation, lightening flashes on the screen for those lightening tracks, and a folder based organization system for convenience. Perhaps it's just me, but I didn't notice a difference - at all - with the lack of earbud optimization. It sounds pretty much like it did before the update. I'm a big fan. :)

If I had one complaint, it would be of a lack of new tracks and bundles with the release of this update. Experiencing my old tracks in a new way isn't half as exciting as closing one's eyes, and losing oneself in the magic of a new track. I understand the recording process is extremely time-consuming, but I think I'd have preferred to be blown away with the new tracks and UI update TOGETHER. Some tracks are indeed more three-dimensional than others, but look luck finding an app with equal quality even on hose "flatter" tracks.

Update: I have been contacted by support and this issue has been corrected. I hope going forward that the dev’s get a fix out so restoring purchases, on new hardware, does not require jumping through these hoops.

Issues aside, I love this app, and have used it almost exclusively since it first came out. I am excited to see life being breath into this app and look forward to purchasing new tracks.

I try not to do this, using a review to get the dev’s attention, and will do everything within my power to work through customer support but in this case it is not working. I have purchased a new iPad and I cannot restore my previous purchased tracks. I went through this with the purchase of a new iPhone and support had to work behind the scenes to get this working. I have sent several emails to support and have had NO response over several weeks, and no the response is not in my junk mail. I was really excited to see renewed life on this app, I have used it for a very long time and have purchase almost every track but that does me no good if I can’t get access to them and can’t get support to respond to help with this issue. As it stands, this app is great unless you purchase new hardware, for some strange reason I can access 18 of my 149 purchased tracks. How can I get this resolved?

JANUARY 2023 UPDATE:

Nothing new to report except that I’m still enjoying this app and the great audio tracks it provides. My favorite track is titled “Serpentine.“ It’s a recording made at night in some remote, mountainous canyon where two distant trains are traveling on railroad tracks. The main sounds are the crickets that are all around you as well as the wind rustling the leaves and grass that are also all around you. Every once in a while, though, you can hear the faint sound of a train horn. Hearing that distant, forlorn, and lonely train horn always makes me stop whatever I’m doing and listen intently. It’s a really amazing experience! It’s so darn immersive and evocative! It’s difficult to describe how this particular track affects me emotionally. I am concerned, however, that the app has been abandoned by the developers. I hope that’s not the case! There hasn’t been an update in a couple of years now. The app is still functioning properly on my iPhone 11, but an update would be nice — especially if it had some new audio tracks to purchase! please don’t desert this app and let it become abandoned-ware.

The sounds in this app are incredible! Very high-quality and ultra-realistic. Very happy and satisfied with my purchase! HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
