Description: Sit back, relax, and watch stations twirl and spaceships going about their business in four unique fully animated space scenes. The Earth, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter’s moon Europa set the stage for four mellow rides that are perfect for any busy professional or student looking to quickly unwind in a 5-10 minute break period. Enjoy three unique classical pieces included with each scene, or choose your own tracks from your phone’s files.

Review: SPACE to relax is pretty much what its name might suggest. It’s a space-themed rest and relaxation app that gives you a slow moving, but pleasant looking space scene to sit back and relax with. With 3 scenes to enjoy Moon, Mars and Europa each one has various satellites and space stations that move slowly over you as classical music plays out. The good news is you can also play your own music to make it even more relaxing.

For many people, this might be a little too slow moving to be enjoyable, but it is exactly what it needs to be, nothing too exciting, nothing distracting, just a nice pleasant space scene to get away from all those real-world troubles. VR and meditation/relaxation are strange bedfellows, but yet together they are something oddly beautiful, even with the most basic of graphics.
