Having trouble falling asleep at night?\n\nNature Melodies is designed to help you wake up gently; calm your body, mind, and soul at all times. Nature is the only thing that can connect you with mother earth. For most people, living in a cosmopolitan city makes it impossible to wake up in countryside locations, and the only way to create a pseudo farmland like atmosphere within the four walls of your bedroom is by the use of Nature Melodies that makes you feel closer to nature. The soothing sounds of nature will also help you feel better, relax, release stress, prepare for meditation and fall asleep faster. This app can also be used in many different situations and is perfect during messaging sessions, exercising in yoga classes, while working on your favorite activities, or help your baby fall asleep if you're a parent.\n\nDownload this app and start enjoying your night by listening to wonderful nature melodies that would help you sleep in less than 20 minutes, and wake up refreshed to the soothing and pleasant sounds of Rooster crowing, bird singing, Ocean waves, Thunder and Rain, Blizzard wind, and much more. \n\nNATURE MELODY IS A 3 in 1 APPLICATION. You can set an alarm to wake up on a nature sound of your choice OR set a timer if you want the sound to stop playing after a period of time OR you can listen to the soothing sounds while using other apps. \n\nWhat’s new?\nNature Melodies now includes an Alarm Clock that is really simple to use. Just Scroll through the nature sound list, set the alarm, and enjoys the beautiful simplicity of this app.\n\n** Other nature/white noise apps claim that they have high quality sounds, but if you notice these apps don’t use up much space either because the sound length is very short or the sounds are not high quality.  \n\nHere's how Nature Melody works: \nSelect the nature sound that you like. Adjust the volume of each sound for better quality. Relax and listen to the melody of your choice and enjoy falling asleep or waking up to nature sounds. It can't get any simpler than this!\nNote: In order for the timer or Alarm to run properly, the app must remain open. Do not press the home or power button. If you want your screen to turn off, just place your iPhone face down. \n\nFeatures: \n- 32 relaxing HD nature sounds with high quality that are perfectly looped.\n- Plays in the background so you can save your battery life while still listening to the sounds.\n- Simple controls that allows you to switch from one sound to another.\n- Sleep/nap Timer\n- Alarm Clock to wake up to the sound of nature. \n\nStart falling asleep and waking up to the sound of Rooster crowing, Soothing Rain, Electrifying thunderstorms, Crickets and water, Sparkling water, Rain on window, Birds singing, Heavy hail, Crackling fire, Relaxing ocean, Pleasant beach, and much more.\n\nNature Melodies includes:\nSoothing Rain\nThunder and Rain\nThunder and Heavy Rain\nThunder and Light Rain\nElectrifying Thunderstorms\nRain on window\nThunder and Bird Trills\nRain Alley\nWater Frogs\nBig River\nStreamside Songbirds\nJungle River\nCrickets and Water\nWaterfall\nRainforest\nBird Songs\nTwilight \nCrackling Fire\nSongbirds\nTurkey Talk\nPleasant Beach\nOcean Relaxing Surf\nSparkling Water\nBubbling Water\nAirplane\nOcean Waves\nCampfire\nBlizzard Wind\nHeavy Hail and Rain\nWind Blowing Leaves\nCountryside Waterways\n\nDownload it now and start feeling better by improving your health, waking up gently, and falling asleep faster.","facts":{"developer_id":741752887,"developer_url":null,"first_released":"2013-11-18T22:26:00Z","support_url":"http://www.naturemelodiestosleep.blogspot.com/","privacy_url":null,"website_url":null,"app_version":"3.0.2","release_notes":"Bug Fixes","rating_current_version":4.74835,"rating_count_current_version":4407,"star_counts":[44,38,109,601,3615],"genres":["Medical","Lifestyle"],"languages":["AR","CA","CS","DA","NL","EN","FI","FR","DE","EL","HE","HU","ID","IT","JA","KO","MS","NB","PL","PT","RO","RU","ZH","SK","ES","SV","TH","ZH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-10-24T05:44:13.183Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-10-24T05:44:13.183Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-10-08T23:39:25.877Z","placed_at":"2026-10-08T23:38:25.877Z","scored_at":"2026-10-24T12:12:12.825Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"Plays looped nature sounds with a sleep timer, a nature-sound alarm clock, and background playback, listed as free.","what_is":"Nature Melody is a free iOS app in the Medical genre that plays 32 looped nature sounds, such as rain, ocean waves, birdsong, and thunder.
