Missing so many critical features
I love the sleepy bookshelf, so I tried the free trial of this app for a long trip in which I needed to sleep on several airplanes. Plus hotel sleep is never good, I rely on the sleepy bookshelf in hotels for great sleep!
But this app, what?? It’s so expensive and there’s no sleep timer. A paid app should basically be perfect. How can an app designed for listening for sleep not have a sleep timer? Or a queue/playlist.
You can either listen to one episode, or one whole book.
Why not have a queue so I can line up a few chapters of a book? Or a few random episodes? Some sound great by the description but I’m never going to choose one that’s 20 min, bc what if I’m not asleep yet? I have to turn on my bright phone and go searching for another one to listen to.
Listening to chapter 2 of A Christmas carol and fall asleep? Good luck finding chapter 3, you have to type it in the search. It should just pop up as your next listen. Honestly it’s s mind boggling how user unfriendly this app is. Will not be purchasing after the trial expires.

Looking forward to sleep!
Having a bedtime ritual/routine helps let your brain stop grinding the day and transition into sleep—be consistent and predictable with your routine! I start transitioning about an hour before bedtime…low light, shower, no screens etc. This app is a perfect supplement to the routine and I am asleep within moments…kind of a bummer because i never get far into the stories—I usually ‘enter a beautiful realm within my imagination’ and then I’m gone…it is that quick and simple. The readers are soothing and calming and they paint you a world with their words. If you go with the music and/or sound option, your brain has something to focus on rather than processing the day. Shut down and get some sleep—I so wish I had this app during vet school…now with a very busy private practice where I have a tendency to rethink the cases of the day…I am grateful for this app! Thank you.

Helps me sleep so much
I’ve always had trouble sleeping and this app and the sleep stories help me sleep and some are so interesting. The French Whisperer is my ultimate favourite!
Love it!
I sleep SO much better with Slumber helping me get to sleep
I love Slumber!
I love Slumber! I use the free stories because I can’t afford Premium but even these help put me to sleep on a nightly basis 😴 🥰
So helpful!
I have not purchased this app yet, but am definitely going to soon. I have only listened to some stories so far, and they are so vivid and detailed your imagination can’t help but go on a journey. (And I have also found some life lessons along the way) The voices of the people reading the story are so soft and calming that I fall asleep while letting the music drift on (an option provided) after the story ends. There are various calming sounds to choose to have play in the background with your story, with the option to choose how quiet or loud you prefer each sound. The app also provides a children’s section with some sweet fairy tales and numerous other stories. I am so happy that I found this app, I can’t wait to try some of the meditations and other options available. I find it so simple to use, and now I always look forward to bedtime……

:)it’s amazing ! I love this app
I love this app ❤️ I don’t know how I survived before it 😂 it’s a part of me now :)
Helpful app
This app has been helping me fall asleep a lot easier. Only 4 stars because there is no sleep timer. Some of the stories are hours long so it would be nice to a timer to turn off the app to prevent it from playing throughout the night.
Response from developer
To stop the app from playing after a track completes, we recommend turning "Loop Episode" off and adjusting the "Delayed Ending" to off or setting a shorter duration. You can do this by tapping the "Background Effects" button when you play a track. We hope this helps. Please email us at support@slumber.fm if you have any other questions.
I have been listening to Slumber for the past several years. I often have issues falling asleep.
My go to is Simon Mattacks. His voice, no matter what he reads, lulls me to sleep.
I hope there will be many more stories by him!

Awesome sleep stories
Has tons of great sleep stories, good narrators, and you can customize the background noise as you listen. The stories really help me relax and get sleepy before bed. If you like The Honest Guys (YouTube) sleep stories or Headspace sleepscapes, you’ll probably like the stories on this app.
Well worth the money.
