### 5/5 — They help me

*2026-07-09*

They help me go to sleep and wake up so I’m just sitting in bed watching the game with my eyes

### 4/5 — I love it

*2026-06-09*

It’s amazing all the books are so interesting i could read all the books all day im so happy that you made kidly thank you

### 2/5 — História de dormir muito agitadas

*2026-02-20*

A maioria das histórias 'para dormir' falham em seu propósito básico: elas não induzem ao sono. Para serem eficazes, a narrativa precisa ser lenta, pausada e quase monótona. O conteúdo atual é acelerado demais e mantém a criança alerta. Na ausência de um controle de velocidade nativo, essas histórias acabam sendo contraproducentes para a rotina noturna

### 5/5 — İyi

*2026-01-24, version 2.0.9*

Çocuğum tablet ve internetli şeylerden uzak durduğu için yapana helal olsun

Not sure what’s going on, but if has suddenly become glitchy and will not load any books. I can’t figure anything out. I deleted the app and reinstalled. I have premium. I’m a little upset.

### 1/5 — £7.39 a month or £44.49 a year
