Lifesaver!
Our 6 year old autistic son started using this app well over a year ago when he started having trouble during bedtime. It’s a staple in our house and we can’t do bedtime without it! Most nights, he listens more than once and we’ve even used it during tantrums when nothing else calms him down, he will specifically ask for “the Koala”. We needed support with the app and their team is so responsive and incredibly helpful. I can’t recommend this enough!!!

Great app, helps my adhd son
This app is worth the purchase. It’s has really helped my son who has ADHA in to relax at bedtime and sleep.
The best there is!
Cool Koala has been a nightly staple in our house for the past few years. Out of all the apps out there, Cool Koala is the only one that our 9 year old consistently asks for each night.
Nice Way for Kids to Get into Sleep Meditation
My sons (9, 12) have been doing this sleep meditation for over a year. It’s a good way to wind down and the meditations aren’t so long that we parents can do it too. I am hopeful that my kids will remember the lessons on how to let go of frustration, relax deeply, etc.
Best Nightly Routine
We listen to Cool Koala every night before bed. My son has ADHD and it is a great way to get him relaxed and clear his mind from the “noise” of the day. He loves that it changes and he can look forward to a new meditation every night. He also feels like he knows each character and gets so excited when they join in on the fun.

Amazing intro to the power of mindfulness for my kid
I’m a parent of an 8year old boy with ADHD and this year he started to experience anxiety so I sought out a mindfulness app that we could do together at night before bed. This app is awesome! The daily meditations mean we never hear the same one twice and they introduce important lessons on emotional regulation, focus and self confidence that have been so helpful for my son. Highly recommend!

An essential part of our bedtime routine
We have tried many different methods of helping our boys calm down before bedtime. Cool Koala is the only meditation app that has resonated with my boys and has become an essential part of our bedtime routine. The meditations rotate with nightly themes, but follow the same structure so my kids know what to expect (so important!).
Additionally, it is not too long or too short, introduces social-emotional coping strategies and wraps with quick affirmations. Highly recommend!!

Love this app!
I cannot say enough good things about cool koala! My 6yr old son looks forward to bedtime every night and always looks forward to meeting cool koalas friends in each meditation! We have found it has helped him relax and he has woke up in the middle of the night and has wanted us to put it back on to help him go back to sleep. So far it has been very helpful with his anxiety and has been relaxing him right to sleep!

Our Bedtime Routine
Fantastic podcast we do this 80% of our nights! We even set the smart lightbulbs to get the perfect mood lighting every night. The kids love it (imagination time is their favorite) and my wife and I love the wind down it provides. We really appreciate the thought you’ve put into this app.
This app has changed our lives
Our 4 year old has ADHD and bedtime was such a struggle. Sometimes lasting 2+ hours. We were tired, frustrated, and hopeless.
After adding Cool Koala to our routine, he’s usually asleep after the music finishes.
We love the characters, the lessons, and the music. We also requested the personalized meditation which was a huge win with our son.

Great meditation but loads off issues
Great meditation, my kids loves it, but almost every second day struggles to load and need to wait or does not load at all
My son asks for this at bedtime!
Thank you Ryan and Cool Koala for such a beautiful addition to our bedtime routine! Not only do these meditations help my son relax into sleep, they provide him with helpful tools he can use during his day to deal with stress, anxiety, worry, frustration and to help cultivate a grateful heart. My son regularly asks to listen to Cool Koala before bed! Thank you so much!

Amazing
This app put me to sleep! Most nights I have trouble sleeping but with this I was asleep as soon as they stopped speaking and I the next morning I felt so refreshed and ready to go. I haven’t slept so well in a long time. Love this app so much and I’m so grateful for it!
Amazing!
My brother loves this app! Me and him use it every night!
What a gem of an app!
Ryan & Cool Koala have become part of our bedtime routine & we couldn’t be happier. My 7 year old daughter is in the 2nd grade & she’s definitely a busy body... Sometimes it’s hard to get her to calm & wind down at night because her brain is still going going going.
Ever since Ryan & Cool Koala have become a part of our bedtime routine, our nights have been more peaceful, more loving, more calm, & more beautiful. My daughter requests it every single night without fail.
Not only do the meditations get her to sleep fast 100 percent of the time, but they’re also very informative & teach kids about beautiful things like… Positive feelings & emotions, being loved, empowerment, being grateful, letting go of negatively, finding inner peace & so much more.
Ryan’s voice is so inviting & so soothing that even I have found myself dozing off quite a few times. Lol.
The icing on the cake was when I sent Ryan a request for a “personalized meditation” for my daughter & he emailed us one back fairly quickly!
My daughter was so surprised when I played it for her that night. “Mommy OMG they said my naaaaammme OMG” & she jumped out of bed with excitement lol.
That was the only night where it took us a bit longer to get to sleep because she insisted on me playing the part where they said her name over & over again. What joy!
We are very grateful to have found an app that can truly integrate into our lives. Give this app a try. It’s amazing, it’s simple, it’s user friendly, & so very rewarding.

Essential wind-down for my 9 year old
So pleased I found the Cool Koala app! My 9 year old son has ADHD & asks for Cool Koala every night to help him drift of to sleep. The characters are friendly, gentle & lovable. The meditation stories are child centric & suggest coping mechanisms / calming breathing techniques. We also love the soft background music, fusing beach waves with a chill-out guitar. Such a professionally produced app - a real keeper!

Ideal Meditations for Kids
I downloaded the Cool Koala app in order to help my son calm down at the end of the day and prepare for bedtime. After using this app for several months, I have seen a remarkable positive impact not only at bedtime, but throughout the day. The meditations offer breathing and visualization techniques which prove to be helpful in various situations (for example, imagining your worries put into a balloon and drifting away into the sky), and our son now asks to listen to Cool Koala every night.
From Ryan's calm voice to the relaxing accompanying guitar music, we have found this app and the meditations it provides to be the ideal way to close each day with our son. We highly recommend this app!

Love it!
Highly recommend! My son loves it and it helps him fall asleep quickly
This has become part of our nightly routine!
Cool Koala has really changed our bedtime routine for the better! I love doing this nightly with my son (7) and daughter (4) it’s such a great way to relax and connect. The personalized meditations are unique and special. Both kids lit up when they heard Ryan say their name. The topics seem so relevant to the big feelings kids have every day. And they’re super relaxing for me too!

Mindfulness Magic
Cool Koala was the perfect fit for our bedtime routine. My 7 year old would get wound up at bedtime unloading all the struggles of his day but with Cool Koala the meditations help him to let go and relax.
Since using the app he falls asleep faster and has better sleep translating to better days. I see him integrating the coping techniques outside of using the app and he’s able to navigate through situations that in the past would have thrown off the whole day.
Thank you Ryan for sharing your talents with us.
