To my surprise the sleep stories are so much better than the other app and my 7 year old son falls into a very deep sleep within the first 5 minutes. The stories are so peaceful and relaxing and they have very calming sounds which are perfect to drift off to sleep to. We use this app every night and me and my 7 year old love it. Would highly recommend. ### 5/5 — STELLA-GREAT APP!!! *2023-11-14* Wonderful app with interesting stories, pleasant voices, and sounds of nature. Helps both adults and children relax and fall asleep.
