### 4/5 — Great app! But why only 3 stories

*2021-12-12, version 1.3.21*

Overall this app is awesome! I always fall asleep before the end of each of them. These stories have helped so much, but I wish there were more. I hate that there are only 3 stories, I wish there were more. I enjoy this app lots, but I hope they keep writing stories.

### 3/5 — Meh,it could use alot more stories and a new activity!

*2020-12-23, version 1.3.21*

I was super exited to use this app my therapist requested it but when i finished all of the stories it got a little boring...i would like it for there to be at least 1 or 2 more stories! But on the other hand....this app is great 8 fall asleep wven before the story ends! It is a good but bad app at the same time!

### 4/5 — Why only 3 stories????

*2017-08-04, version 1.3.21*

My kids love the stories but they would like more stories.  Any ideas?

### 3/5 — Fantastic app but it loops endlessly

*2017-05-03, version 1.3*

My son loves listening to "his lady" before bed-he's 7 and has been listening to this app for about a year at bedtime.  I rub his head until she says "close your eyes", then he sends me to bed.

The only issue is that with one of the later IOS updates the "loop" slider button doesn't work so unless I remember to turn off the iPad in his room, it keeps looping all night until the battery dies.  

Please update this awesome app!!!

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2017-02-03, version 1.3*

This helps my 7 year old daughter calm down and sleep like nothing I've found in 7 years prior to this one. It also puts me right to sleep, which is an added benefit. The only annoying thing is that I inevitably wake up and have to turn it off. For $5, you would think that it would come with a timer - or just quit after the story ended?

### 3/5 — Just so so

*2017-01-06, version 1.3*

I was hoping for a more relaxing voice/interesting story or relaxing background voice. This one is Just average

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2016-11-08, version 1.3*

My 5 & 7 year old boys love this! My 7 year old has some sensory processing difficulties and finds this app really helps him relax. Ms Kerr has a very soothing voice. Only wish there were more stories.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-10-24, version 1.3*

This app is amazing!  My 6 and 8 year old sons love going on the guided meditation adventures- I hope she releases more like this!

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2016-10-22, version 1.3*

I got this for my 7 year old who has trouble settling down at night (and other times).  It and it has been super helpful-- quicker sleep times & less popping up.  I played it recently when she had a friend sleep over and they were both asleep within about 15 minutes (a small miracle as anyone who has had a 7 year old sleepover can attest :).

I like that it continues through the different stories instead of ending abruptly.  My only complaint is that I wish it had more than 3 stories!

### 4/5 — Great, but needs a sleep timer

*2016-09-05, version 1.3*

My son loves this, but I really wish there was a way for me to set it to turn off after one meditation, or a certain amount of time. I don't like leaving the iPad playing next to him after he's fallen asleep.

### 5/5 — It works!

*2015-10-22, version 1.3*

My 8 year old who has a hard time settling down loves it and falls asleep to it.

### 5/5 — This is magic

*2015-08-06, version 1.3*

I've tried this out on myself...and I never make it longer than 10 minutes!! Now I use it every night for me.  With my 4 year old daughter camping this weekend we turned it on just as meltdown was about to happen....and all three of us were asleep in 10 minutes.  These are amazing and I wish there were more to buy.

### 1/5 — Made my 4 yr old very anxious

*2019-07-25, version 1.3.21*

Can’t say why but the stories my son terrible anxiety. He usually loves podcasts. I wish I could have sampled the story before purchasing. Found the stories quite soothing myself but bummed to have wasted the money as it’s quite expensive for only 3 stories that we can’t use :(

### 1/5 — Awful

*2019-02-10, version 1.3.21*

Three mediations that we’re not engaging at all. In fact, the beginning of one of them frightened my children. Waste of money. There are free apps that do a MUCH better job!

### 1/5 — Same complaint as others

*2017-06-12, version 1.3.1*

For a $5 app I expect this app to work as well as when I first downloaded it. It really helps my anxious, spirited kiddo go to sleep but it is very agitating when it goes quiet when the screen shuts off. I've learned to change the setting to leave the screen on, but that really drains the battery. Please fix.

### 1/5 — No longer functions

*2017-06-03, version 1.3.1*

My son has been using this app for years. Since the update the story fades out when when the phone goes to sleep. I deleted and reinstalled the app, and tested it on my phone as well and the same thing happens. Please fix this.

### 1/5 — Just bought this

*2017-05-10, version 1.3*

I just bought this to try out on my grandkids tonight. I'm disappointed that I spent $4.99 and it tells me the app needs updating to work with future iOS updates 😢

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2012-02-29, version 1.1*

I need a refund for this. The woman who takes you on this "sleep" journey speaks so quickly we all got stressed out trying to keep up with. Save your money on this one. :(

### 1/5 — Meditation for kids Bed Time

*2012-01-05, version 1.0*

Just bought the app version of this instead of the CD. Big mistake!! The content is superb but the app plays one story straight to the next with no way of playing just one track as you would with a CD. So each track has an introduction which reawakens sleepy children. It would get 5 stars as an app if you could select one track only. My children were very relaxed towards the end of the first story, drifting off to sleep.. Then suddenly "Hello, are you ready for bed?"  loud and clear and kids wanting to hear next story.

### 2/5 — Was good

*2024-06-21, version 1.3.21*

My son loved it, but I got a new phone and can’t restore purchases, so I’m back to just the 3 tracks… disappointing.

### 2/5 — Overpriced

*2017-10-10, version 1.3.21*

Is that I don’t know how to access everything this app has to offer or does it really only have 3 tracks for $4.99? My kids are already asking for something different.

### 2/5 — Only 3 tracks?!

*2017-04-12, version 1.3*

Did I really just spend $5 for only three tracks? That is very disappointing!

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I used to love this!

*2023-01-06, version 1.3.21*

The nostalgia is bringing me back to when I was a kid!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-06-06, version 1.3.21*

Great help for my kids. Keep writing more stories.

### 5/5 — My favourite sleep app!

*2018-08-22, version 1.3.21*

This app is so wonderful!  Christane’s voice is so calming and her imagery is so beautiful.  I bought it for my kids who love it, but have found that I love it too.  Sends us all straight to sleep every time.  We have had an issue where the tracks loop through automatically with no way of stopping them, but hopefully this will be fixed in the next update.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-08-19, version 1.3.21*

The app is fixed. My daughter loves it at bedtime. She talk about letting her worries go. Thanks!!!

### 5/5 — UPDATED Review 7/10/17 back to being a favorite

*2017-07-11, version 1.3.21*

Thanks for fixing the issue with the meditation shutting off when screen goes to sleep.  

We use this app every night with our 9yo daughter. She will ask for it if we forget to turn it on.  It is the right combination of soothing music, easy visualization for children to follow, and the wonderful voice of Christianne Kerr. It also puts the grown ups to sleep as well!  We have recommended this to so many friends as well as our pediatrician. 

Prior review:  These meditations are great,  but new update causes meditations to shut off when screen goes to sleep. Please fix

### 5/5 — Was a 5, after the new update a 1!

*2017-07-10, version 1.3.21*

My daughter loved this app.  Completely frustrated with the new update that times out and shuts down when the screen goes dark.

7/10 - response from the publisher and app is updated.  My daughter won't go to sleep without it.

### 5/5 — Miss Lulu Mostyn

*2017-05-04, version 1.3*

Hi . My name is Miss Lulu Mostyn and I am a teenager with insomnia and seizures and this app is really nice and soothing to listen to at night time 

I have had sleep problems from the age of 10-13 years old and I'm now 17 years old but this recording still calms me even if it is aimed at younger age groups

### 5/5 — Wonderful app!

*2017-05-01, version 1.3*

I love this app and so does my 5 yo who listens to it each night. Please consider updating it so we can continue to use it! Thank you!

### 5/5 — I wish there were more!!!

*2017-03-18, version 1.3*

I struggle getting all my boys to calm down at night. This is magic, make more!!!

### 5/5 — Thank you! Thank you!

*2017-01-16, version 1.3*

Since I started using this app My kids have not appeared in my room in the middle of the night to announce they can't sleep. They are falling asleep faster and staying asleep! This app is magic! I do wish it had a timer to make it stop and I'd love more content. I would happily pay! This app has changed my life.
