We appreciate your support! ### 5/5 — Effective for promoting relaxation, but needs more varied background music‌ *2023-03-05* The meditations on this app have been helpful in calming my child and promoting better sleep, but I find that some of them are a bit too long for my child's attention span. It would be great to have more options for shorter meditations that can be completed in just a few minutes.    ‍‍  ‌ ### 5/5 — A good app for calming kids down, but needs more variety  ‍ *2023-03-05* I recently downloaded the Calm Kids app for my 7-year-old daughter and we've been using it daily for a couple of weeks now. Overall, we really like the app and find it helpful for teaching mindfulness and relaxation techniques. The animations and music are engaging and keep my daughter's attention. The only reASŌn I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wish there were more guided meditations specifically tailored to younger children, as some of the sessions seem more appropriate for older kids. But overall, a great app and we'll definitely continue using it!  ‌ ‌‍ ### 5/5 — A Life-Saver for Anxious Parents *2023-02-08, version 3.1.10* Calm Kids is a fantastic program and I highly recommend it.

Thank you for your support! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-04-16, version 3.1.69* I receive an SSL certificate error when attempting to use any module within the app. This is happening across multiple devices. It seems as though the developer may have abandoned this project. ### 1/5 — I can’t even open the app or ask for help *2023-12-30* I got the app started the login, then it cut out now every time I try open the app it cuts out. I haven’t purchased anything because I can’t open the app, I can’t get help because I haven’t purchased anything. It is a stupid scam design. ### 1/5 — Content of the stories is not great for anxious kiddos *2023-01-30, version 3.1.9* I REALLY wanted to love this app to help my anxious kid calm at bedtime. BUT the content of some of the stories is VERY questionable, especially for anxious children. My child was in an anxious panic last night because the story she was listening to was about mermaids sinking ships. Certainly you and I know that mermaids don't sink ships but an anxious kid trying to drift off to sleep now can't calm their worries because they have to worry about sea creatures upending their boat the next time they are on the water. At that point I wasn't too concerned, I hadn't read the full story and mermaids are a common theme in kids books...but tonight I walked in to see the following on the page "the king's son was beside himself in pain, and in his despair, he leaped down from the tower. He escaped with his life, but the thorns into which he fell pierced his eyes". I'm not sure who thought this would be an appropriate story to use to get an anxious child to calm? I really love the idea of a children's app to help calm little minds but this one needs to do more proper research and editing. ### 3/5 — Review. *2026-02-03, version 3.1.74* Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Calm Kids is overall a strong interactive wellness tool that promotes emotional awareness and regulation, particularly for children and young adolescents who are beginning to experience “big feelings” and require developmentally appropriate strategies to calm and wind down. One of the app’s primary strengths is the variety of options it offers, including sleep stories, guided meditations, music, and activities such as yoga. Because children and adolescents are not a “one-size-fits-all” population, this range of modalities allows families to engage with the app in ways that best meet their individual needs. Another significant benefit of Calm Kids is its potential to foster connection between children or adolescents and their caregivers. Features such as shared yoga activities and bedtime stories create opportunities for caregivers to be present and emotionally engaged, which can support the development of a safe and secure attachment. Adolescence, and late childhood, are periods marked by a heightened need for connection and are particularly sensitive to co-regulation, consistency, predictability, and emotional anchoring (Moretti & Peled, 2004). Drawing on Moretti and Peled’s discussion of attachment in the article, Adolescent-parent attachment: Bonds that support healthy development, as an ongoing relational process, the shared use of a wellness app between a parent and a child (for example, ages 5–7) can support secure attachment by promoting emotional co-regulation, parental responsiveness, and consistent emotional availability. Two of the most important attachment-related factors highlighted in the article are parental support of autonomy and the absence of emotional withdrawal. However, despite these strengths, Calm Kids presents notable limitations that warrant further discussion. One of the most significant limitations is the accessibility factor; particularly the relation to cost. It became clear after a few reviews to verify the content & free options, it was determined that a vast majority of the app is behind a monthly or yearly subscription. Which is congruent with the parent app, Calm.  Furthermore, depending on socioeconomic statuses of families, a monthly subscription of $11.99 can be unattainable for many families, especially in this economy. However, with that being said, depending on the family size, engagement and the want or need – it can be beneficial & worth it. Overall, Calm Kids is a great option to expose or introduce adolescents to concepts of health, wellness, and emotional regulation, including the practice of cultivating moments of stillness. ### 5/5 — Mama is a girl in my family *2024-09-26, version 3.1.60* Harley and her family ### 5/5 — amazing! *2024-01-10, version 3.1.39* i use this app everyday and it makes me so calm before going to bed and makes me be awake to in the morning and i feel way more relaxed and calm and makes me lower my anxitiy and i feel better and you should buy this app and if you want to be calm like me then buy it. ### 5/5 — Calming Techniques *2023-11-10, version 3.1.32* I've seen beautiful changes in my child since using the app ### 5/5 — Mindfulness in Play *2023-11-10, version 3.1.32* Animal yoga poses are the highlight of our day They’ve brought so much laughter and joy, all while keeping my little one active and present ### 5/5 — Perfect End to Our Day *2023-11-09, version 3.1.32* The Mindful Music has been a soothing background during our reading and quiet times ### 5/5 — A Mother's Gratitude *2023-11-09, version 3.1.32* Sleep was a battle in our home.

The Parental Tracking Tool gives me insights into my child's emotional journey, allowing me to support her even better. It's heartwarming to see her growth and happiness. ### 5/5 — A great app.  ‍  ‍‌ *2023-06-19* They say this app is about mindfulness and has bedtime stories for children, so I downloaded it for my 4-year-old son. We continued using this app as free users, and eventually, I subscribed for a year. It's truly worth the money. The content is rich with various yoga and mindfulness exercises. I also use this app for my toddler who has just started walking, and they love the sleep music. It's a great app!     ‌ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
