Lovely calming tool
Has been a lifesaver for toddler meltdowns using the 5-minute morning calm stories, and for adding into our bedtime routine. It’s been more than worth it! I keep some of the techniques in my back pocket to help my kiddos stay calm in situations when I can’t access the app.
Great stories!
My 5 and 3 year old have been listening to these stories since the launch. We love listening to the same stories over and over and get so excited when a new series launches. The emotions series helps them to name their feelings and we even listen to the for grown ups together too.
Love it!
We have used this on and off for my 3 1/2 year old since it launched and it has helped through countless bedtimes, tough transitions like becoming a big sister, nap battles. A favorite in our house!
Love it!
We listen to Goldminds every night before bed. It helps my kids unwind and fall asleep. There’s a great variety so there’s always something for everyone. My only complaint is that there used to be an add to queue feature so you could select different stories each night to play one after another. It seems to have been replaced by an add to playlist option. It makes it difficult to switch up what you want to listen to since you have to create a playlist in order to listen to multiple stories in a row.
Update: the add to queue option is back! My kids love being able to choose the stories themselves and switch up what they listen to every night and this makes it so much easier. We’ve been using this app for almost 2 years now and it has been invaluable for bed and helping my kids fall asleep independently. My daughter especially looks forward to bedtime and getting to pick out a story or 2 to listen to. Most nights she’s asleep before the story is over.

My favorite kids app!
This app has been such a game changer for my sensory seeking, bouncing off the walls at bedtime kiddo. It helps his brain wind down like no other stories can! And I love that there are important lessons embedded in the stories like making mistakes is okay and being kind to yourself and being different can be something to celebrate etc. The creators are so thoughtful in what they include in the app and they are always taking suggestions from the community because they really want the app to be helpful. I can’t recommend it enough!

Is this seriously a subscription service?
This is NOT worth $8 a month subscription. I’d pay a one-time fee for this because it’s like buying a book of stories. But $8 a month just to hear these same stories? Absolute money grab. What am I paying for monthly?
Wonderful
This works wonders for our 2.5 and 5.5 yr olds. It’s so calming and truly helps them wind down and go to sleep. I love the variety and the various themes.
Gamechanger for bedtime
I’ve been using the app for over a year and since using it my kids 5 and 7 now fall asleep so much quicker. They don’t event finish the story most of the time 😆 the calming voice and music is wonderful. The goldmines story each night has become part of our routine and it’s been great. I highly recommend it.

The best
My daughter loves these sleep stories, since we brought them into our routine bed time is truly a breeze and she loves being able to pick her own story each night. She also has a few faves and knows the words, so will tell the story as she falls asleep 🩷🩷
The Best for Toddler Sleep!
Goldminds is the absolute best! Such a lifesaver for the nighttime routine with our toddler. Every night he asks for Goldminds!
Our holy grail app
We have been using this app since it launched in 2024, and it has been such a game changer for our daily life. Our toddler has super low sleep needs, and because of that, we struggle with falling asleep. Goldminds has been the perfect solution to winding down before sleep.
My child loves to pick the story before naps and bedtime. We have our favorite stories, but also love branching out to try new ones. Cynthia’s voice is incredibly soothing. The lessons in each story stick with our child and we often reference back to them at later times. We love the affirmation stories that help establish positive thoughts about oneself.
There is no better mindfulness app for kids. We use this app at least 2x a day and have referred it to countless friends. We love it so much!

Bedtime Life Saver!
Goldminds is the best part of our bedtime routine. My kids will happily choose their story and love to see the new ones released each month. With a newborn, it has been so helpful to have an easy way to settle down my big kids at bedtime. I also love the family sharing so kids can listen in different rooms at the same time. Best app that I pay for, by far!!

One year in…
We’ve been using Goldminds for over a year, and it’s been a five star addition to our bedtime routine. Our son is 3.5 and loves being able to choose his own story every night before bed. You can watch as his little body relaxes and drifts off to the soothing stories. As a parent I love that most stories are themed around what kids love - animals, trucks, airplanes etc. our daughter is 1.5 and loves the piano/rain sounds as she falls asleep.

Perfect
This is the perfect app for children and their families! We use it at least once a day. My child and I both look forward to it!
Relaxing for both kids and parents
Goldminds has become a bedtime staple in our house. The stories are calming while also delivering great learning opportunities about building confidence, gratitude and relaxation techniques. We have our favorite stories but always look forward to the new stories at the start of every month!
Best sleep stories
I love these stories. Not only are they soothing and help my kids drift off quickly, the stories have heart. There is always one that relates to what my 5 and 2 year old might be experiencing. For example, we’ve been listening to the road trip story and airplane story a lot leading up to our travels. There are also stories supporting various transitions (school, new house, etc) and emotions. It’s really a special app and worth paying for.

The best!!!!!
Goldminds is truly the best! The app and the Yoto card are both part of our nighttime routine. They have made such a difference in helping our 2.5 year old fall asleep. He loves choosing a story from the app, then listening to his special sleepy Yoto card. We love that new stories are added to the app fairly often. More Yoto cards please!!!!

A gem for kids and parents
I love so much about this app, but my favorite thing has been noticing how much the stories help my toddler relax, feel confident, and wind down. Stories have relatable themes, and I appreciate that there are new stories each month. Not to mention, there are meditations for grownups too! It has been a great help for both of us as we work to crest new sleep associations and tools for handling the big emotions that come with toddlerhood.

Wonderful app, kids love it
I’ve been using this app for a little over a year now and I really enjoy it. There’s been so many amazing updates since I started, and we love so many of the stories. I love that it has family sharing so we only need one subscription.
It took a while for my youngest to want to listen to the stories so I was originally hesitant to keep the subscription, but now she listens nearly every night (and actually falls asleep to them). Highly recommend giving it a try if you need something calming at bedtime!

Life changing
Goldminds changed our bedtime forever and we’ve never looked back. Bedtime was always a battle for my daughter. Two years of lying in a dark room with her. Trouble settling down and getting into a deep sleep. We starting using your app when she was about 2 and it has been the end of our bedtime routine ever since. She loves creating her own stories and picking different ones each night. She’s usually asleep before the first story finishes. It truly was life changing for us and for her, allowing her to truly rest and enjoy bedtime which was stressful and scary for her before. We’ve just started to use it with our little guy, her 22 month old brother and hoping he’ll enjoy it just as much. Thank you!
