### 3/5 — CUTE SHEEP

*2023-02-22*

I would love it if it was just the relaxing music and sheep animations!!! the sheep themselves are so so cute! was trying to find a game to count sheep too to avoid these thoughts before bed though lol, i’m a uni student and they stressed me! but so cute love the premise!

### 3/5 — I thought too much

*2023-01-17*

So I used this to try and sleep but then the app says that my closet door is open and it was so now I can’t sleep and I don’t want to get up or I’ll get eaten. Idk what to do

### 2/5 — Confused

*2022-04-30*

There was no introduction and just loaded on the screen. I think the idea was to have the sheep pop to release negative thoughts but it just drills new negative thoughts before bed instead. :( 
The music and art were well made and the functions of the game had nothing bad. Maybe the content should be fixed and reviewed more.

### 2/5 — Anxiety Provoking at Beginning

*2021-05-03*

This concept of popping sheep is cute and the graphics are well done. However, as said in other reviews the negative sheep at the beginning turned me off the app before I could finish. I haven’t had trouble sleeping in years and the negative sheep brought back up old fears and worries. I started to feel my heart tighten, and my head spin, and shut off the game and switched to relax melodies and was asleep in 5 minutes. 2 stars for cute concept, poor psychological construction. Should be easy to rewrite the text, and I hope the creator does because this game has a lot of potential.

### 4/5 — At first it’s a little depressing

*2021-01-09*

So when I played this it was kinda depressing at first but when you start to finish the story it gets wayyyyyyyyy better I have a recommendation for the creator I would love this app if it was all positive and no negative like pop the positive sheep’s instead of popping sad sheep’s at first but overall I like this game but warning ⚠️ at first it’s depressing so if you don’t like depressing stuff don’t download!

### 2/5 — Kinda depressing

*2020-03-24*

The sheep are cute, so I gave it a stars, but I was honestly looking for a cute game to get me to sleep. They went on about possible monsters or failing my test or being forever alone... ya that’s stuff I worry about but making sheep out of it just adds fuel to the fire. It would be a much better game if they gave solutions, like “I studied enough, I’ll be fine.” OR if they just added positive things in the sheep in the first place, like “you’ll be okay.” But I DID give it one more star because they talked about fluffy monsters, which was a cute solution to the being scared problem

### 4/5 — Happy, Nice and Sweet

*2019-08-21*

Well I can say I don’t have the same problems as the game shows but, I still love the art and it is calming to pop the thoughts. Nice sweet little game. 
You should get it if you worry about tests a lot.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-12-06*

I didn't like this app; the negative phrases stay in the child's subconscious.

### 1/5 — This app is the worst

*2023-11-03*

What even is this app?! I had a rough day today and I thought I would try this app out only to find out how negative it is and does not help me sleep.Delete it.

### 1/5 — DONT SUGGEST !!

*2022-10-22*

I was just trying to go to sleep and this app literally made my anxiety go out the roof….don’t suggest.

### 1/5 — no lo haga compa

*2021-12-07, version 1.09.2*

te da más ansiedad y te quita el sueño

### 1/5 — terrible

*2021-09-04*

thought i’d try it out, but like other reviews said, its terrible!! so negative and for an over-thinker like me it worsened my night sleep.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-08-10*

This will give you anxiety. A lot of the quotes are related to school, I’ve graduated and was stressed about a test tomorrow THAT I DON’T HAVE. Maybe it’s some sort of way to let the thoughts enter your head, and then simply let them go. But it was creepy and made me think this was supposed to make things worse in some twisted sick way.
I’ve never reviewed and app until today 🤢🤮

### 1/5 — Take this down

*2019-03-22*

I would give this zero stars if I could. The premise is great, it gets you to focus on the sheep and finding the ones to pop. However, that’s where this should have stopped. I get where the developer is coming from, getting you to think about how all these thoughts stop you from sleeping, but when every statement is so negative and quite frankly triggering for anyone with depression and/or anxiety let alone if those people are also students which judging by the content this is who it is aimed at, it is very irresponsible to have created this app in this way.

### 1/5 — instigates suicide

*2019-03-14*

Worst app ever. Delete it

### 1/5 — NEGATIVE

*2019-02-18*

The thoughts are very negative. This doesn’t help me go to sleep. It actually puts me down. Not great thoughts before sleeping.

### 1/5 — An honest opinion

*2018-07-19*

That is the worst app I have ever used!! It is so negative and I believe it would affect students in the worst way possible! It should be removed honestly.

### 5/5 — It actually helped me sleep

*2026-07-02*

Ironically to what the other reviews say, knowing that others think like this out my mind to ease, maybe I should go draw some sheep.

### 5/5 — 不会玩

*2022-03-05*

### 5/5 — Recomendada <33

*2021-09-27, version 1.09.2*

Me da identifiqué mucho con el juego, los gráficos son muy lindos y en sí es un gran juego para pasar el rato.
Excelente trabajo ^^

### 5/5 — Beautiful!

*2021-06-13*

I haven't finished it yet but this is such a great demonstration of what I feel each night. It started to get really personal for me so I haven't finished it yet but I'm happy to find something that helps me feel more seen! The artwork is very lovely too!

### 5/5 — Aw... :)

*2020-05-21*

It’s a really cute story!! I recommend it. But I don’t think it’s meant to help you fall asleep..

### 5/5 — FINISH THE WHOLE STORY!!!!

*2020-04-30*

This app is really amazing. It starts out with just a couple thoughts. Then it slowly just adds more and more, as they increasingly become more negative. I decided to stop playing the game and look in the reviews because this app was just to sinister. But one review gave me hope that it would get better. I continue playing the app and found the beautiful truth to the game at the end. I highly recommend this app to you!

### 5/5 — Oddly good

*2019-06-29*

Okay, at first I was a little apprehensive after reading the other reviews. Let me start by saying this is NOT a sleeping app. This isn’t meant to help you fall asleep. It’s more of a narrative centered around the theme of falling asleep. Admittedly, the story does contain some negative phrases like, “What if I fail?”, “I’m so weak”, and “My friends will leave me”. But that’s only for the first part of the story. You have to continue on, and I promise the ending is a lot more positive. Yes, there are some negative thoughts in the story, but these are things that many of us think from time to time. In the end, it’s not your thoughts that shape your life—it’s what you choose to do about them, and the narrator in this story does something positive with his thoughts. I personally found this app to be interesting, even if the story was rather short. But then again, sometimes a short story is all it takes to change a person’s perspective...

### 4/5 — Creative game

*2023-08-11*

I downloaded this game after discovering “kiwis cant fly” and loving it so, I figured I try this one out. I liked the concept of this game a lot and the graphics and music are very nice, just like the previous game, but in my opinion I felt like there could have been more to it. I understood what they were trying to convey although, I felt it could have used more back story or a different animation instead of the popping sheep. For example maybe a journal/sketch book background with the sheep in pencil etc. to give it more life.

Though I still recommend it because it was very cute and I really enjoy the creative thinking of the game developers :)

### 4/5 — Suggestion to creator

*2021-07-26*

Perhaps there could be a function for the user to create their own thought bubbles? A lot of the thoughts didn’t apply to me, since I’m not in school. But I love the concept snd it’s very calming to pop away all the anxious thoughts that keep you up! I love this and am going to try using this regularly before bed.
