As a child therapist, I’m going to be using this and recommending to my friends abs clients! ### 3/5 — Pretty good *2021-01-25, version 1.1.0* Calming I like it the thing is cute 😊 ### 4/5 — Calm *2020-09-30, version 1.1.0* So calm ### 5/5 — So cool *2020-08-25, version 1.1.0* I really enjoy it it makes me feel so calm and happy after I have used it so thank you this is truely a gift😀 ### 5/5 — Nice game *2020-08-16, version 1.1.0* 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Free stuff *2020-07-14, version 1.1.0* Everything we need is free becauseWe don’t have any money ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-07-14, version 1.1.0* Thank you so much for this it’s exactly what I need I have bad anxiety and have tried other calming apps before and nothing worked with that being said great job to you guys! And I hope you guys make more apps like this ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2020-07-13, version 1.1.0* This is The best App in the world whenever I’m stressed out it’s like my phone appears in my hand and I go straight to the app.my favorite story thing or thing to calm down my anxiety that I got to so far is the breathing exercise in the third one ### 3/5 — Amazing! Thought the money thing was a bit of a promblem *2020-06-10, version 1.1.0* I LOVED THE GAME, but I’m unable to pay. I was wondering if you could please make the main levels free, but then people who pay can dress their flibberdigets up, change their color and background, and more. Also, maybe you have to wait a specific amount of days before doing one level to another and you can pay to not wait. I would really like this to happen and thank you for reading. ### 5/5 — Love dis game.to my mom:thanks,this is Claire brookes *2020-06-10, version 1.1.0* BEST,GAME,EVER I have play date right now :<| ### 5/5 — Brilliant, just what was needed! *2020-05-28, version 1.1.0* Fantastic app, just what my son needed as he’s suffering with anxiety since lockdown. He’s found this app so helpful. ### 5/5 — Well worth a few dollars!!! *2020-05-27, version 1.1.0* I’m extremely disappointed to be reading the comments of all the people who complained that this app once cost money. Does anyone have no idea what it takes to build an app like this?? After my daughter got through all the unlocked levels I was HAPPY to pay for the rest of the locked ones and shocked to see that you now can unlock them for $0.00. It bothered me so much that I wasn’t paying for something this well made, I went to read in the reviews to see if there were any clues as to why this was. I’m not sure if it had anything to do with it, but all the entitled comments demanding that it should be free almost made me need to use this app to chill back out!! To all the developers and creators and people who worked tirelessly on this app, thank you for making it, and I wish there was some way I could have repaid you for doing so because it truly is a fantastic piece of work and you deserve to be compensated for it, no questions asked. ### 5/5 — Really good *2020-04-26, version 1.1.0* GREAT 👍 ### 5/5 — Thx *2020-02-24, version 1.1.0* Downloaded this app and I love it ### 5/5 — More exercises? *2019-11-13, version 1.1.0* Really like the app but will there be more added? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Iz not fixed 😡 *2022-03-05, version 1.2.1* FIX IT!!! I TOLD U 2 FIX IT 12 MONTHS AGO! PLZ IM BEGG’IN U 2 FIX IT ### 1/5 — Dumb problem with sound *2021-10-20, version 1.2.1* I just installed it. It says “turn on your sound”. But doesn’t say how. I turned up my iPhone volume, but that’s not it. So where exactly do I turn on sound? Is there some setting to enable? I ha e never had to enable sound for an app before. Frustrated. ### 1/5 — Am I paying for this app? *2020-05-26, version 1.1.0* Clicked on “purchase” after first three trial activities. There was no price listed in the app or the App Store so what exactly am I paying for this app? ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-01-12, version 1.1.0* My son and I were excited to get started but I continue to get an error message saying my sound is not turned on despite the fact that it is. I’ve tried deleting and re-downloading but to no avail. I’m disappointed. ### 1/5 — Really a rip off *2018-11-15, version 1.0.13* It’s a good app in all, but after the first three lessons you have to buy the whole thing. And the only thing you do with the pet you get that is supposed to resemble you is pet it. Really a let down and I was disappointed. Don’t waste your time unless you plans include spending money on a stupid app. ### 1/5 — Do Not Purchase - Broken! *2018-03-23, version 1.0.9* I have restarted this app several times and tried it on more than one device, yet none of the timer achievements unlock after the first one. This should be fixed, as it is crucial to advancing and enjoying many aspects of the game. Otherwise, the app seems great. I would love to rectify my review if the problem is ever fixed. ### 1/5 — Incredible App until a week ago *2018-01-01, version 1.0.5* Downloaded the free version to start with for my daughter. It worked marvelously at helping her calm down when she was overwhelmed. So we went ahead and paid for the upgraded version. It too worked well until the latest update. Then the app wouldn’t play any sound at all. Checked the iPod to make sure it wasn’t a malfunction. Found it was the app. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Now we have sound but we lost all of her progress and the $2.99 we paid for the upgrade. AND it won’t let us tap the crystal at the beginning to start so she can’t even use the app. :( could have been the BEST calming app for kids on the market until the malfunction. :( ### 1/5 — Started out great.. *2017-10-21, version 1.0.3* When I first began, I couldn't stop! This was perfect for my spare time. Until it said I HAVE to buy to continue. And now that I can only rep,at the same lessons, I'm not getting mindful, I'm just getting frustrated! Every Time I reach the part where it tells me to pay, I feel even WORSE than I did before! This app will only work if you pay money... I'm not re downloading ever.... ### 2/5 — Great but....... *2017-10-23, version 1.0.3* It's great but u can't do much it gets a little annoying and I don't think it would work that great for kids. It's more of a stress app that takes ur stress away. Not the best for kids sry. ### 3/5 — Not enough *2024-07-02, version 1.2.1* My daughter loves this but we wish there were more stories and opportunities to grow the plant and unlock gems. Will you be adding more? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still enjoying *2026-06-26, version 1.2.1* My daughter is still using this app regularly as a tool in her toolbox. I’m so glad it’s still available. ### 5/5 — Mia *2026-05-21, version 1.2.1* This app helps me so.

Wish you would add more stories. Would purchase! ### 5/5 — Great calming App *2021-11-20, version 1.2.1* A great App which my son loves when he’s calming down for bed. Helps him settle if he’s feeling silly. Really appreciate you making this App. 👍 ### 5/5 — Cute *2021-10-17, version 1.2.1* They are so cute ### 5/5 — 8yr olds favorite *2021-02-11, version 1.1.0* I never leave reviews but wanted to say thank you so much for this app!! My 8yr old has been feeling anxious and bedtime was getting him so stressed out he would feel nauseous. We downloaded a few mindful management apps and this is by far his favorite. He loves how cute the little guy is, and says the voice of the lessons sounds the best. He even appreciates how the lessons talk about the science (reasons) behind everything. His sleeping has gotten so much better, and I can tell he’s happier. Thank you so much!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
