### 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 🦊🐑

### 3/5 — Help

### 5/5 — The Cherry On Top Of A Good Bedtime Routine!

*2022-08-18, version 4.8*

I had been struggling for two months to get my toddler to settle for bed. We have always had a bedtime routine since he was born but it just seemed like he had more mental energy lately and couldn’t settle down. Bedtime became filled with tears for both of us!

We recently went on vacation visiting a friend and I searched bedtime stories for toddlers on YouTube. He was absolutely enamored by the visuals! I could see his mind settling as each animal climbed into bed. When it was done, I cut it off and turned off the lights and he immediately fell peacefully to sleep. Buying this app was mostly support for the developers for helping him sleep while on vacation, but it continued at home when he kept asking for “GAME!!!” Before bed. So now it’s our ritual, after we’ve eaten, cleaned up, take the dogs out, and had a bath. He gets so excited to curl up next to me and it’s how he learned how to say all the animals names. He has learned how to play it himself in a few days. 

I enjoy the visuals myself as well and describe the scene to him in as much detail as I can. It’s a perfectly paced game for him - he’s 15 months old. He won’t sit still for a real book yet but he enjoys this! I bought the original Nighty night too but it’s not as much animated as this one and he didn’t like it. I don’t care though, I will gladly buy all the games in the series as it’s such a big part of our night ritual now!

### 5/5 — Wo sind unsere anderen Apps geblieben?

*2022-07-27*

Edit: es gab mal Kritik von uns. Dieses Problem ist nun gelöst. Es gibt nur noch positives zu berichten. Der Kundendienst leistet gute Arbeit. Danke.

**Developer response:** Hallo, selbstverständlich müssen Sie nicht ein weiteres Mal bezahlen. Bitte kontaktieren Sie unseren Kundenservice: contact@foxandsheep.com. Wir helfen Ihnen gerne weiter 💗 Viele Grüße aus Berlin 🦊🐑

### 3/5 — Slightly disappointed…

*2022-06-14, version 4.8*

Very lovely animations, i bought the game for my little brother (age 2) after he loved watching the youtube video, didn’t realise you’d have to pay an extra £1.79 for the monkey, fish and pig, bit of rip off 😐but he did enjoy turning the lights off himself :)

### 5/5 — 구매 취소 부탁 드립니다. 타 앱 업글중 광고가 잘못눌리며 구입이 되었습니다.

*2022-04-13*

에어팟으로 통화 하면서 애플 업데이트를 눌렀는데, 정신팔린 사이에 광고가 클릭되면서 구매가 되어 버렸네요.
다운도 정지 했습니다.

**Developer response:** Hello, we are sorry but we cannot give you a refund. To do this, please contact Apple Support. Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Still a Favorite

*2022-02-16*

We purchased this app a few years ago. I noticed another review complaining about the cost of adding more animals. We’ve gladly paid for and added each new animal group as they’ve become available. My son is now 7 and this is still one of his favorites. Beautiful colors and graphics. Easy enough for a toddler to use but fun enough for everyone to enjoy. Lots of animals doing fun things before they go to sleep. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi there, we are happy to hear that you like our app! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Bellissimo!

*2021-12-14, version 4.8*

Non esiste bambino a mia conoscenza (tre nipotini tra i due e quattro anni e loro amichetti) che non abbia goduto di questo e degli  altri due giochi della serie della "buonanotte" rimanendone incantati. 
Questo dei tre è il più bello per  qualità e lo spirito delle animazioni.
Lo consiglio vivamente, estensioni incluse. 

Mi permetto solo di suggerire agli autori  una modifica della modalità di interazione: bisognerebbe bloccare le animazioni fino alla loro conclusione prima di consentire  che un nuovo tocco le interrompa sovrapponendovi la successiva (generalmente sono tre le animazioni disponibili)
I bambini infatti una volta capito che l’animazione inizia con un tocco, continuano a picchiettare sullo schermo creando un continuo convulso salto da una all’altra, costringendo gli adulti che li assistono a bloccargli le mani.

### 5/5 — Ihr seit die Besten

*2021-12-11*

Meine Mädchen sind inzwischen 9 und 12. Eure Apps waren die ersten mit denen sie sich zu langen Autofahrten oder an Tagen wo das Einschlafen schwer fiel ab und zu beschäftigen durften.
So liebevoll gestaltet und immernoch gepflegt, selbst nach so langer Zeit. 
Da könnten sich Entwickler heutiger Applikationen echt gleich mehrere Scheiben abschneiden, die nur noch auf Profit abzielen mit Abos und in App Käufen. 
Von uns ein dickes von Herzen kommendes Dankeschön❣️
Hört bitte nie auf -ihr seit die Besten für die Kleinsten 🤗

**Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für die lieben Worte! Es freut uns zu hören, dass Ihnen unsere Apps gefallen. Viele Grüße aus Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Спокойной ночи, Цирк

*2021-09-02*

Замечательная игра, дочери очень нравится! Уважаемые разработчики, было бы здорово создать еще и обратную игру «Доброе утро, Цирк», в который бы надо было будить зверят )

### 5/5 — 아이가 정말 좋아해서~

*2021-04-22*

앱내구매도 해서 동물도 늘렸네요~
잠자기전에 불끄기전에 한번하고
방에 불끄면 아이도 자려고 해요~

### 3/5 — Need a loop option.

*2021-04-02, version 4.8*

Title says all. Would be 5 stars if they would add this.

### 5/5 — Super um die Kids ins Bett zu bringen

*2021-03-23*

Einfach schön gemacht

### 5/5 — Great Fun for little ones

*2021-01-30*

My son plays this nearly every night it’s fun listening to the sounds of the animals and when it’s Christmas time you can have it snow and give it the Christmas feel or leave it off. We have the other apps from Fox & Sheep and they are fun and informative at the same time.

### 5/5 — Alles super bis auf...

*2021-01-17*

Wieso kann man nicht auf die Winterversion Updaten? Mein Sohn (und ich) liebt die App über alles, doch jetzt bin ich etwas traurig, dass es sich auf Jahreszeiten nicht anpassen lässt.

### 5/5 — Family favorite

*2021-01-09, version 4.7*

Been using this app for over 6 years, my seven year old still loves it and my 1 and a half year old plays it every night before bed. Thank you very much for this little treasure, it’s very dear to us. :)

### 3/5 — My kid love it but no narration

*2020-12-25*

I got this for my kid and we put it on the Apple TV and there is no narration on it and no way to turn it on it seems.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Missing Animals

*2021-09-15*

My 3 year old wants to know where the monkey and the fish went. She’s not happy she cant put them to bed anymore as those were her two favorites. Please bring them back!

**Developer response:** Hi Kristintate, have you tried deleting the app and downloading it again from the App Store? This often helps. If it doesn't, please send a message to contact@foxandsheep.com. Best wishes from Berlin! 🦊🐑

### 1/5 — Changed App Name

*2020-11-29*

I remembered clearly I bought this app but it was “Nighty Night” 5 years ago. Now it’s something being renamed else and I have to buy “Nighty Night” all over again?!

**Developer response:** Hi chriskoh, our other App "Nighty Night" is with farm animals, this one takes place at the circus. If you need assistance restoring your purchases, feel free to send us an email to contact@foxandsheep.com, we're happy to help! Best wishes from Berlin 🦊❤️

### 1/5 — Still no narrator on Apple TV

*2020-10-20, version 4.6*

Have to watch YouTube recordings of the app because a year since last review calling out no narrator and it’s still not fixed.

### 1/5 — Bad bugs

*2020-04-04*

Great app...until my purchases disappeared and the app lost narration on auto play. Pretty poorly maintained. You could at least give me my money back if you’re planning on removing the purchased material.

**Developer response:** Hi,

sorry to hear that you have bugs. Please check out the latest version and write an email to contact@foxandsheep.com to get more detailed help. We will help you getting your purchases back. We did not remove content of course, it's still in the app.

### 1/5 — Обман! Не скачивайте

*2020-04-01*

Списались деньги, а приложение не загружается! Интернет выделенной линией, стабильный. Верните деньги

**Developer response:** Hi,

it can have a lot of reasons why an app is not loading. No internet, not enough free space, your iOS version is too low and so on. Let us try to help you with more specific detail. Just write an email to contact@foxandsheep.com. Because you bought the app, you should also use it and enjoy it. Then you will see that it is better than 1 star rating ;)

### 1/5 — New Update - AppleTV narrator bug still not fixed

*2020-02-08*

Great app if it actually worked on all the platforms it’s supposed to. But it’s been forever and a bit and the developer still hasn’t fixed the narrator bug on the AppleTV version...

**Developer response:** Hi ,thank you for your reviews. 
Maybe you can explain the problem a bit more specific to our support team: contact@foxandsheep.com. We will try to help you there.

### 1/5 — İndirmeyin

*2020-01-07, version 4.5*

Çok güzel düşünülmüş bir uygulama ama sadece bir hikaye var içinde 20 lirayı sadece bir hikayeye veriyorsunuz asla indirmeyin

### 1/5 — Перестала работать

*2019-12-29*

Не идёт дальше рекламного окна с просмотром других приложений

### 1/5 — Leider nicht mehr nutzbar

*2019-08-07*

Der Zirkus wurde von meinem Sohn immer gerne gespielt. Jetzt würde meine Tochter bestimmt auch gerne abends noch mal in den Zirkus schauen, allerdings funktioniert die App leider nicht mehr. Es erscheint vorne auf dem Stadtbildschirm eine Hinweistafel mit der Aufschrift „have you tried out our app „nighty night“?“ und diese ist durch nichts wegzubekommen und daher die App leider nicht mehr nutzbar. Sehr schade.

**Developer response:** Hallo Kathie1310 – schreib uns doch bitte eine Mail an contact@foxandsheep.com – wir helfen dir gern, die App wieder zum Laufen zu bringen :) Viele Grüße aus Berlin, Julia

*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 🦊🐑

### 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 🦊 🐑

### 5/5 — Frankly magical

*2023-09-30*

Rarely has any sort of app or video entranced my daughter (currently 19 months) as much as this does. The art style is gorgeous, the atmosphere is lovely and cozy, and while the overall amount of interactions in each scene is fairly light, it more than makes up for it in the results — this app can soothe my daughter in 10 seconds flat, and she’s been enjoying this on a multiple times per week basis for about a month now.

The developers and artists behind this app have done a wonderful job tapping into what would entrance and delight a youngster, and it’s a pleasant enough experience for parents as well. I also recommend the other Nighty Night apps (currently 3 in total).

**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 🦊 🐑

### 5/5 — Amtliche Qualität

*2023-06-16*

Die Gute-Nacht-Apps von Fox and Sheep sind allesamt sehr süß und liebevoll gemacht. Beide Kinder haben sie seit Jahren gerne und die vielen Sprachen haben auch noch einen Lerneffekt.
Vielen Dank an das Team, dass Ihr so viel Mühe reingesteckt habt und macht weiter so!

**Developer response:** Hallo zusammen! Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte 💗. Wir freuen uns sehr zu hören, dass Ihnen unsere 🎪 App gefällt. Wir wünschen weiterhin viel Spass mit unseren 🛌💤 Apps! Viele Grüße aus Berlin 🦊🐑

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2023-05-24, version 4.8*

Lo jugaba cuando era súper pequeña, lo busqué porque recordé su existencia… lo amo, le tengo mucho cariño.  🤍🫂
