Oasis version 2.2 gives the free soundscape app a more useful place in daily routines. The iPhone update adds ready-made soundscapes, new audio options, and quicker ways to return to a setup when you’re trying to focus, fall asleep, meditate, or cool down.
The biggest change is a new library of 16 presets built around calm, meditation, focus, and energy. Oasis also adds more than 10 sounds, a mini player, session memory, background mixed audio, interface updates, bug fixes, performance improvements, and accessibility tweaks.
It’s still free, and the App Store listing says the developer doesn’t collect data from the app. For a calm app, that privacy detail helps. Nobody wants another account, dashboard, or data trail standing between them and a few quieter minutes.
What makes this update useful
Presets should make Oasis faster to use when you don’t want to tune every layer yourself. You can open the app, pick a mood, and start from a finished soundscape instead of building one sound at a time.
The mini player gives the app a lighter feel during longer sessions. You won’t need to keep digging through the full interface just to manage what’s playing, and session memory helps bring back the setup you were already using.
Background mixed audio is the most flexible upgrade. Oasis can sit under music or podcasts, so you don’t have to choose between an ambient layer and something you’re already listening to.
How does Oasis build atmosphere
Oasis is built around spatial sound placement, letting users arrange nature sounds in a 3D audio environment. That gives it a more tactile feel than a standard loop player, especially when you’re stacking different sounds together.
The App Store listing also mentions binaural tones, which gives users another way to shape a focus or meditation bed. A sleep setup can lean heavier and softer, while a work session can stay lighter and less intrusive.
Where does Oasis still have limits
Oasis has a focused job. It’s an audio environment builder, not a larger wellness platform with coaching, lessons, or a broad content library, based on the supplied information.
Availability also needs a careful caveat, since the App Store page provided confirms the Austria listing. For now, Oasis version 2.2 looks easiest to recommend as a low-friction first step. Start with the presets, then adjust individual sounds once one feels close.
