The woman’s voice is so calming. Wellbeyond meditations have become a part of our routine. Mindfulness and relaxation are needed even more now during this uncertain and stressful time. ### 5/5 — Classroom essential *2019-11-17, version 2.1* We mediate every morning and my class loves it! I like the short ones for when we are crunched did time. I’ve used his for kindergarten to grade 7! Please add more short ones 😄 ### 4/5 — Good *2018-06-27, version 2.1* It’s helped a lot it’s so amazing ### 5/5 — Great app! *2018-06-20, version 2.1* We have been using this app for over a year with our kids. Had the free version, then upgraded to get all the meditations. It’s great for bedtime, calming, mindfulness, etc.. The kids even ask to use the meditations on their own now and will start them, curl up in bed and conk out. It’s been really useful to teach them to be still at bedtime and follow simple directions. Best few bucks we’ve spent on a kids’ app! ### 5/5 — Love This! *2018-06-16, version 2.1* So I wrote a review about how my favorite meditation disappeared from the app, the company contacted me and totally helped me get the issue resolved and get us back to meditating! ### 4/5 — Amazingly perfect! *2018-05-03, version 2.0* Gold star to you special people!⭐️ ### 5/5 — Good child appropriate meditation *2018-04-23, version 2.0* My preschooler loves to look at the images while doing the meditation. So far it has helped with sleep and with preventing a tantrum. ### 5/5 — Great for the family *2018-03-07, version 2.0* We love meditating to these gentle guided meditations. These helped my children a lot during some tough family changes and stressful situations. They helped me too. At first my youngest started off not able to sit still for even a second. A year later, he sits through them all the way through. Stay hopeful! ### 5/5 — Wonderful tool *2018-01-29, version 2.0* Using daily ### 4/5 — Great product!! *2018-01-19, version 2.0* Great product!! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2018-01-10, version 2.0* My kids are 5 and 7 and they love meditating with this app! ### 5/5 — Great App for Kids of All Ages *2017-12-12, version 2.0* This is a wonderful meditation app that works for kids of all ages. It is also great for kids with special needs. ### 4/5 — Very comforting for children *2017-11-19* I bought these meditations to help my 8 year old son sleep and they have certainly help to settle his mind and sooth him to gently fall asleep. He really struggles with sled issues. There is a good selection of options for different occasions, more sleep ones would be good to have all the same. My daughter broke her arm today and tonight was very emotionally impacted when we came home after her plaster was put on. We listened to My Emotions Journey Which lasts about 10 mins and it was a huge help to settle her mind and body. I’d recommend this to anyone with children. Worth the money I spent compared to other junk we buy our children these days. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2017-11-18, version 2.0* It helps me in toughest of times and makes me centered😁😙😎 ### 5/5 — WellBeyond is the best app ever for a child ego struggles with bedtime. *2017-10-15, version 2.0* I depend on My Sleepy Stuffy is amazing! My son falls asleep nightly to it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor narration quality *2020-02-14, version 2.1* For meditation apps, narration quality is paramount. So it’s too bad that the meditation guide sounds like she is in an echo chamber and don’t know how to read/perform meditation guidance. Get a professional sound engineer and performer you guys. ### 1/5 — Update removed the meditation I used *2018-01-17, version 2.0* I've had access to sleepy star meditation since I downloaded the app a year ago. I just updated and the content I previously had now is only available to be by purchasing it. Not going to happen. How do I know it won't disappear again. I'm going to find a different app to use. ### 1/5 — Nothing you want is free *2017-10-14, version 2.0* No meditations that you want are free in this app. Only samples ### 1/5 — Loved it but... *2017-07-12, version 2.0* My kids and I would use this app all the time. The sleep meditation actually worked and we used it every night. Now with the new upgrade it's asking me to pay. Why do we have to pay when we used to get it for free? It's very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Need to purchase to access meditations??! *2017-04-13, version 2.0* My daughter and I completed meditations every night before bed. With the new update now we are being charged to listen to the full meditations that were previously Free! Very upsetting especially after establishing these mediations in the bedtime routines! ### 1/5 — Dull, kids will not want to listen (understandably) *2016-07-16, version 1.0* I have two meditation apps for my kids (8yo, 6yo) -this one and "Calm:" and OMG what a difference. In calm app, the narrator's voice is calm but engaged and so pleasant to listen to. This narrator is so dull, it's like she is about to pass out at any moment...like she is narrating for a thousandth time and ran out of energy. May be other reviewers never experienced other meditation apps... No idea why this has positive reviews... Wish I did not purchase it. ### 2/5 — Great idea..needs work *2019-08-29, version 2.1* This is a cute app with great illustrations to help kids-or even adults-relax. However, it’s very difficult to get into the meditation because the narrator speaks too loudly, too quickly putting multiple words together at times, and sounds as though she is annoyed rather than calm and relaxed. Meditation should be soft and calm and relaxed in volume and tone. This app has none of that at all! I really wanted to love this app, but unfortunately I will use a different app. As a side note for anyone who does choose to use this app, the parental section of this app has a very weak barrier for kids. It just spells out four different numbers and gives you a key pad to type the numbers written out. Once that’s done, you’re in! This is how they try to prevent kids from getting into the parent section. However any kid over the age of 5 is going to be able to get past that in two seconds! I don’t know what they were thinking with that, but that’s not preventing any kid from getting in the parents section. Just a heads up for any parents out there! ### 2/5 — Sound quality? *2019-08-18, version 2.1* I downloaded those for my daughter and I And was trying to see if I like it enough to purchase the full version. We tried the nap mediation, but I’m so distracted by the poor sound quality that I can’t focus on the message. It sounds like she’s on speaker phone in the bathroom... does the sound quality improve in the “paid”meditations? ### 2/5 — Not yet... *2016-06-14, version 1.0* My first impression and spontaneous reaction to this early effort is: 1. It needs slow and gentle movement or animation in the visuals. 2. The narrator voice and diction and inflections and volume, were disruptive to the goal of relaxation and focus. 3. In the description, include the credentials of the author of the narrations. The idea has potential... ### 3/5 — My 5 year old likes these meditations *2017-12-01, version 2.0* He asks to do them before bed. More choices would be good. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — amazing *2025-11-02, version 4.2* i remember listening to this every-night as a kid, around the ages 7-9 ish. ALWAYS got me to peaceful sleep, even when the nightmares were getting bad, these definitely helped in reducing them. im re-downloading it today as an adult just because of how good i remember it being. (yes the night mares are coming back, lets see if this app can work its magic again). ### 5/5 — Worth it *2024-01-09, version 3.5* I think it can help kids relax and learn how to meditate in a fun and easy way. ### 5/5 — Edited: we have been enjoying this app for years *2023-07-18, version 3.5* My daughter and I have used this app as part of our bedtime routine for years. We were sad when a glitch in the update caused us to lose access to most of the meditations. Thank you, Wellbeyond for fixing this issue for us. We are glad that we can continue to enjoy this app as part of our quality family time. ### 5/5 — Changed to subscription based *2023-07-02* My daughter and I used to love this app. We bought the paid version years ago. But they have switched to a subscription service and now when we try to do more than two meditations a week they say we are out of “free” meditations. Since we already paid for the full app, I think we should be grandfathered in. But I have attempted to contact the developers two different ways and haven’t received a reply. They have not added in any new meditations or features that would justify turning this into a subscription-based product. There are only a handful of meditations available, definitely not enough to be worth a monthly fee. It’s incredibly sad because we used to look forward to our nightly meditations and now our feelings toward the app have soured. There are better services out there, both free and paid. **Developer response:** Oh no! I am very sorry about this. It has been fixed in the latest version. If you install the update, you should have access to all the meditations that you and your child have been enjoying. My sincere apologies and *thank you* for using the app for all these years! ### 5/5 — Love it🐓🐓🐈🐈🕊🕊 *2021-09-17, version 3.3* Really good!!!! It is amazing and my family loves as well ### 5/5 — Great app that lives up to its promise - mindful kids! *2021-03-16, version 3.3* My 4-year-old daughter asks to use this app regularly. In fact, she’s suggested meditation to other kids and has even used the kindness meditation at the park when she’s starting to feel overwhelmed. The different options (sleep, kindness, feelings, focus, and calm) and varied durations are very helpful for finding just the right meditation for the moment, and I’ve even used the sleep meditation to drift off myself! ### 5/5 — Just like a Picture Book! *2021-03-03, version 3.3* This app is truly warm. From the paintings on the cards to the music and message of the meditations—it’s wonderful and it works great! It’s like a picture book in an app! It just feels very genuine and kind. I really recommend it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-06-25, version 2.2* It really helps me sleep. it used to take 1 hour for me to sleep. But now It takes 15 minutes ### 5/5 — Every thing is so cute 🤣 *2020-06-23, version 2.2* It helps me sleep😇 ### 5/5 — Meditation is great *2020-04-23, version 2.2* This is rlly good it relaxes u --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
