We're sorry to hear that you're not satisfied with the current setup, and we appreciate you taking a minute to leave a review. Currently, we offer two free stories (they do not have a diamond icon), and we provide a 7-day free trial to explore all the features and decide whether to continue using our app. We hope you'll find something that suits your needs. Kind Regards, Stella Sleep ### 2/5 — Crashing *2022-09-13* Bought the year and the app keeps crashing everytime I click to start one **Developer response:** Hello Amahdjen! We had some unplanned development and experienced technical issues on iOS16. We have solved the problem, and now the App works well. Please update the App to the latest version through the App Store.

Kind regard, Stella team ### 5/5 — So peaceful and relaxing *2024-01-30, version 3.0.5* I really lovely this App. We used to use the Calm app but thought we’d try this one as it was a bit cheaper. 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.
