Cant sleep? Try Away, a high-quality sleep ambience app by award-winning audio technology innovator Franz Bruckhoff. Away simulates a rich forest full of nature sounds to explore and discover, day and night, from morning til evening. Adjust the daytime and move the virtual microphone around to find your favorite spot to unwind and sleep. Away features one of the most advanced nature sound field engines in the world, delivering an unprecedented nature audio listening experience. Hear the forest come to life around you. Get Away today, sleep great tonight!

Taptanium™ certified nature audio means that you hear only crystal clear nature sounds with absolutely zero human made noise intrusions. No people, no airplanes, no cars. Just nature. Infinite playback. Taptanium™ certified nature audio comes from the best sources such as Hawaii and has been mastered to perfection with the highest attainable level of attention to detail, utilizing artificial intelligence to detect even the most distant human-made noise intrusions that humans are almost incapable of recognizing under normal conditions. Only the highest quality nature sounds in the world are able to receive this certification.

Away features Taptanium™ neural 3D audio™. If you put on headphones, Away can create an incredible sense of immersion. The nature and water plays all around you, not just on your ears. This is called externalization, and its encoded in a way that your brain naturally decodes as if you were there.

You will sleep, relax, meditate and focus better with Away because Away masks unwanted noise. Your ears will love Away because Away plays soothing high-quality nature sounds recorded in 3D. Your eyes will love Away because the forest comes as a motion-controlled 3D parallax illustration with daytime transitions. Get the great sleep and productivity you deserve.

Hear the wind and leaves swirling all around you, birds singing during the day, Hawaiian Coqui frogs singing at night and distant American Bull Frogs resonating through the valley. Get closer to the river or waterfall or retreat to the calm pond in the back with ducks during certain times of the day. In the morning, listen to the funny sounds of wild Hawaiian chickens recorded on the beautiful Garden Island of Kauai in 3D. Hear birds waking up and birds singing happily. Away is a treasure chest of sounds. And if you like, blend in music specifically composed and conducted for Away in Hollywood.

Pros and cons of Away ~ Nature Sounds to Sleep app for iPhone and iPad

Away ~ Nature Sounds to Sleep app good for

Away is such an amazing app and also a great addition to Sunny, Windy and Thunderspace! The new spacial and temporal 3D audio is a really cool feature. I love using this app when I need to be be extremely focused on my work or, sometimes, just to relax. Franz Bruckhoff is a talented iOS developer and he is very passionate about his apps which are updated regularly with new features.
The interface is awesome and again, the ability to mix in Windy and Sunny is great! Not sure why others are complying? The music track is very hypnotic and puts me to sleep in minutes.
Fantastic interface. I love this app almost as much as Thunderspace. Looking forward to more music choices to be loaded.
In both the audio & visual departments, this app is beautiful! The sounds and images are crystal clear and the track runs longer than many ten second loops. Love it!
Franz and Taptamium have made another top-notch relaxation app. Theres 3 music tracks to overlay on the different sounds and I like the idea of exploring different locations in the artwork to find different soundscapes that suit your mood and taste. Very relaxing.
Im still exploring the app but I can tell its going to be one of my go to apps for sure!

Some bad moments

I have downloaded a half dozen free alternatives vest that have more sound options to than the this. Its basically $4 for one looping sound effect and an overwhelming amount of ads asking you to spend extra money for more. I dont hate IAP, but this app feels like it is missing content, so the IAP makes me feel like I am being exploited.
Spent money on this to have nice sounds for baby and theres "f all" to this app. Wasted $4 on this to hear the same sounds over and over with a rooster occasionally. Back to Spotify music for a large variety of baby music and sounds. Why would this cost a cent when some games are free that actually put work into the graphics and gameplay. This is brutal. Even if t was free its still boring us all.
Ok I bought this app and now I have to constantly use it to slowly unlock new scenes. What? For the low price of an ADDITIONAL 1.99 I can unlock the new scenes that I just paid for on top of the original 2.99 I paid for the original windy app. Ok so now Ive paid 2.99 plus another 1.99 plus another 1.99 plus another 1.99. This is adding up quick. Nice app but big rip off.
I did not want to purchase it, just see what the new sound was like. Sure enough they charged me for it. I dont like the sounds new one has. The original I enjoy. PITS!
I used this app for the first time last night. My partner and I have been waking up at least once or twice every night for months. Now I dont know if we were just exhausted yesterday or what; but last night with this app on, we slept all the way through the night. High hopes from two insomniacs!
Very pleasant music, sounds, and scenery. Cute idea to move a little circle around the screen to amplify the sounds I that part of the scene. Only complaint is this app rapidly drains battery when left running in the background. I went to my setting and saw it was responsible for about 50% of my total battery use!
