### 3/5 — Süß aber zu teuer

*2026-08-18*

Es ist an sich süß gemacht, aber es gibt nur eine Tierwelt das finde ich sehr schade. Für den Preis hätte es zumindest drei geben können. Man kann es sich umsonst auf YouTube anschauen. Bloß bei der App kann man das licht selber ausschalten

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry that you don't like our app so much 😥. The game was designed for toddlers to get them ready for bed. Have you already seen all the fun animations when you tap on the animals? You can also switch between a summer and a winter landscape. Maybe you play it one more time with your children to discover its true charme 💕🛌💤 . Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — 好

### 1/5 — Не работает. Деньги на ветер.

*2026-03-10, version 4.8*

Приложение работало один раз и больше ничего нельзя делать кроме покупки новых приложений внутри приложения.

### 5/5 — ♥️

*2025-08-04*

Лучшее приложение для малышей, уже 10 лет, а я никак не нарадуюсь, сначала один сын играл, сейчас второй. Очень красивая анимация, отличная озвучка и добрая атмосфера.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback ♥️💫. We wish good sleep with 🌜NIGHTY NIGHT CIRCUS 🎪💤! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

Why is the monkey no longer in the tree house?? We miss it!

**Developer response:** Hi there 👋. Please contact our customer service if you have questions about our app - we are happy to help you🤗💗: contact@foxandsheep.com. Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Good memories, effective bed time ritual

*2025-01-08*

I have fond memories of using this app. I’ve used it countless times when my two young sons were very young, and I always enjoyed the soothing sound design, animations, and simplicity of the activity before bedtime. 
Reminiscing about this ritual brings tears to my eyes. I would give anything to relive those days when this app played a small but significant role in my sons’ lives.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your lovely review and also for sharing your beautiful memories with us ‍💞. We are very happy to hear that our app has given you such great times 🤗. Don't be sad, who knows, maybe you will need this app again soon... 😉! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — It’s a great app

*2024-11-19, version 4.8*

I Loved This but it wasn’t a bad app but it’s still better than YouTube

### 5/5 — Игра очень хорошо сделана

*2024-09-12*

Не слушайте других по поводу не возможности покупки новых зверей. Они спокойно покупаются.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review💫. Keep on having fun with our 🌝 NIGHTY NIGHT CIRCUS app 🎪💤! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Una certezza

*2024-08-20, version 4.8*

Nuovi personaggi, stessa meravigliosa e dolcissima grafica. Gli animaletti sono meravigliosi e compiono svariate azioni se stuzzicati, anche una volta che dormono alcuni.

### 5/5 — Still going at 6 years old!

*2023-12-04*

The kid still asks for it after all the years. Many a late night has been been tempered by the soothing sounds of the circus…half the time I fall asleep before the end!  We would love more animals…will pay!  Highly recommend!

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you for your lovely words 💗. We are very happy to hear that you are having fun with our NIGHTY NIGHT CIRCUS app 🛌💤 ! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊 🐑
