The app made me reload recently only to have the stories locked again. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Only has one story now? *2022-05-07, version 1.2.1* I paid for 2 other stories but now they are no longer available? I wish I could at least get my money back if my son cannot even listen to them.. ### 5/5 — Ellaphant *2021-10-15, version 1.2.1* Can one of your stories be about an elephant ### 5/5 — The Best! *2021-09-28, version 1.2.1* My 5 year old son loves these stories! He falls asleep so much easier….I’ve almost fallen asleep listening to them! I cannot wait for more stories to be released!! Also the price is so reasonable! ### 5/5 — HOLDS ITS MAGIC FOR AGES *2021-05-21, version 1.2.1* So just wanted to post this. My son used this app and books for ages 3 to 4. Then we moved on towards another app. It kinda got deleted due no new material he got tired of the books. He is currently is 5 yr. last night he asked to do good night tales. So figuring he would get tired from book right away. Great news he watched the entire book and got sleepy towards the end. By the post credits where they show the toys and with the soft music he feel asleep within 5 min. Incredible he hasn’t done that in about 1 year now. Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful product your provided. As soon as you finish the Ella the elephant we will definitely download it. Thanks so much. ### 3/5 — So much potential! *2021-04-24, version 1.2.1* The idea for this app is truly awesome and just what I was looking for, and the execution is pretty great. However, there are a few things that it really needs: 1) A subscription option or, even better, a onetime fee to unlock all of the content. 2) The ability to hide stories that are not available or not purchased yet. Kinda defeats the purpose of the app if my kid is getting frustrated when unable to access all the stories. 3) The ability to make default the narration and subtitle settings in the main settings, not just per book. ### 5/5 — A Perfect Little App. Just needs more content! *2020-07-21, version 1.2.1* So helpful at bedtime, I’m really glad I found this. The free story is quiet, lovely and was requested by my 2 year old frequently for some time. Now that she’s 3 we have purchased the other stories (there are only three of them and a bargain at .99 each). Each story seamlessly transitions into a long bedroom scene at the end which is brilliant, the perfect tool for helping young kids drift off to sleep without realizing it. The scene is a child’s toy filled bedroom slowly being revealed in a sleepy segment that balances soft, sweet music with just enough camera movement to hold the attention of a tired kid with heavy eyes. My daughter tries to watch closely as different sections of the room are panned to or zoomed in on as she seeks out hidden characters or counts their appearances in the space. It lulls her to dream land on our roughest nights when some extra help is needed - almost every time! And since it’s the parents (not the kids) who get tired of watching the same content repeatedly, I really hope they are actually working on new stories; the app has said they are “coming soon” for a long time now. My daughter - and especially I - look forward to seeing more! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app *2020-07-15, version 1.2.1* My seven-year-old son loves it and so do I. Beautiful music and great stories, however we wish you add more stories soon thank you. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Art & Calming Music *2019-09-07, version 1.2.1* Excellent app, highly recommended for putting children to sleep/bed. The soft music combined with beautiful imagery are a great value. Hopefully they can continue to add more stories! ### 5/5 — Strongly Recommend for Language Development *2019-02-01, version 1.2.1* As an Early Education School Psychologist, I conduct assessments of children 2-4 years of age in order to determine if they present with any type of disability that may negatively impact their learning. By 3-years of age, children are expected to comprehend and verbally express over 500 words and should be putting together 3 to 4 word sentences when speaking. However, many children that I assess only use approximately 50 words in their vocabulary, so I am constantly urging parents and caregivers to read out loud to their children. The Good Night Tales series is an absolutely wonderful way to increase children’s language exposure. In our busy world of video games and social media, listening to stories read aloud can teach kids comprehension skills, new vocabulary words and overall language skills, and the love for reading. I would strongly recommend this series to parents, educators, preschool teachers, early education centers, and anyone who enjoys listening to stories while viewing beautifully created and age appropriate high quality art. ## Frequently asked questions about Good Night Tales ### What is Good Night Tales?
