My parents bought it for me and I played it every night without fail until I was 11 years old. I’m 16 now and just redownloaded the game so I could get back into my old habit. Thank you for not just the beautiful and comforting graphics, but the memories that come along with it. This will forever be rooted in my childhood. ### 3/5 — Only has half the animals they list *2025-09-13, version 5.6* Super lovely app. Except that for four bucks you should get at least all the animals they list in the description. I mean the “gameplay” only goes as long as the number of animals your kid can put to sleep, and the base install doesn’t quite cut it to get the average toddler to the sleepy zone. If it weren’t for the misleading description and price, 5 stars. But since you have to pay more for it to really be worth it at all, 3. Edit to clarify for the devs: if you mention them in the description you are implying they are included in the price. When they aren’t it’s called a “bait and switch”. An unfortunate sour taste for an otherwise delightful experience. ### 3/5 — Only has half the animals they list *2025-09-08* Super lovely app. Except that for four bucks you should get at least all the animals they list in the description.

As such, our intention was to provide a balanced playing time so they don't get unnecessarily excited. But you can add more animals in our purchase section if you want a longer playing time. Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑 ### 5/5 — Nice app *2025-07-05, version 5.6* I do enjoy this app, my grandchildren love it, but why must I pay for it twice - once for my iPad and once for my phone; that annoys me. ### 5/5 — This game is sooo smooth!!!! *2025-03-06, version 5.6* hi I have a great feeling about this game so you can put animals into bed and your kids will have a blast with this game 🎮 the possibilities Are endless!!! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-04-12, version 5.6* Very good my child loves this and always asks to play before she tucks down! Highly recommend 😁 ### 5/5 — Very nice *2023-11-12, version 5.6* Very nice and cute i like helping animals get some rest☺️ ### 5/5 — Aww… cute app *2023-05-09, version 5.6* Even though I’m way too old for the game, you should make an older version of this game and this is because I still love this game a lot ### 5/5 — Wonderful Children’s App! *2022-01-26, version 5.6* I got this many years ago and my grandchildren have continued to love it! When they sleep over at Nana’s, we always put the animals to sleep before they go to bed. It reminds them that everyone goes to sleep! I purchased the extra animals and they are even more adorable than expected! What a great job the developers have done on this app and I highly recommend it. The app works like a charm and we have used it regularly for at least six years! When I have run into a glitch, their customer service is outstanding. ### 5/5 — How I love it since childhood…. *2021-11-13, version 5.6* This was my ever favorite app since the age of 4 since it has lots of animals and me to go to bed which is so cool. I love the fish,and the cats because I have 2 cats named meow and macaroni. ## Frequently asked questions about Nighty Night ### What is Nighty Night!?
