Sound of the Sea: Ocean Waves

Sit on the beach and watch the sea, wherever you are. Real footage from sunrise to starry night, wave sounds that match the size of the waves, and a playful Tilt mode.

Sit on the beach and simply watch the sea. Sound of the Sea is a calm app made of nothing but real ocean views and the sound of waves.

• Real ocean views • Five times of day: sunrise, midday, sunset, dusk and a starry night • Three wave sizes: calm, normal and big. Big waves crash into a seawall and send up spray • In Auto, the view follows your clock from morning to night • Fills the screen in portrait and landscape, on iPhone and iPad

• Wave sounds • Only the sound of waves — real recordings that match the size of the waves you see • Keeps playing when you switch apps or lock the screen • Sleep timer (15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes). The waves fade out gently, then the screen is allowed to turn off

• Tilt • See the sea from the side. Tilt your iPhone left and right to slosh the water; waves crash against the walls with a splash • Tap the water to make ripples

• My Beach • Add your own sea videos and photos from your trips. They're stored only on your device

• Price • Free to use. Ads are a banner at the bottom of the screen and occasional full-screen ads • Full-screen ads appear only when you come back to the app from the Home Screen, another app or the Lock Screen (at most once an hour) or at a break such as changing the view (at least 15 minutes after the previous one). Never while you're just watching, during the sleep timer or in Tilt • Remove Ads (one-time purchase) turns off all ads
