I have , The Forest, The Circus & the Farm. I had all the animals on all apps but since I had to replace my phone, only some animals appear on the farm. While it says on the home page that all animals have been purchased, only some appear when you open the app. That’s very annoying given that I have paid for all. ### 2/5 — Bug! *2026-05-05* Il y a un bug d’affichage. L’application ne s’ouvre que partiellement sur une fenêtre réduite. Impossible de changer cet affichage quoi que je fasse. Dommage parce que cette application est super. Merci de régler le problème **Developer response:** Hi there. Due to technical reasons, we had to split up the Nighty Night app into an iPhone and an iPad version a couple of years ago. You probably downloaded the iPhone version on your iPad. Please contact our customer service: contact@foxandsheep.com. We are happy to help you 🤗💗. Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑 ### 5/5 — Decided to reinstall it. *2025-12-24, version 5.6* Honestly? I cried. It was comforting in a way. The artstyle, the music, everything. It felt like a warm, soft hug. ### 5/5 — Fantastic kids app *2025-06-28, version 5.6* My toddler twins absolutely adore this app - it would be great to see it updated for modern devices and screen resolutions! ### 5/5 — Helping to talk *2024-10-01, version 5.6* I’ve had this app on my phone since my granddaughter was 6 yrs. old. She and I enjoyed it together, however when her twin brothers were 4yrs. old and not speaking much, this app helped them to understand speech and to start talking. It will stay on my phone! I have tried to encourage other people to get it. Greatest thing in learning tools. I’m a retired teacher so I know! ### 2/5 — Viel zu teuer ! *2024-06-16* Wir sind durch YouTube auf die App aufmerksam geworden und haben sie runtergeladen der Preis von 4,99€ ist Okey Aber um alle Tiere frei zu schalten muss man für 3 Tiere jeweils 2,99€ dazu zahlen! Finde ich wirklich schade und für 4,99€ hätten wir mehr erwartet **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry to hear that you don't like our app 😥. The app was specially developed for toddlers to get them ready for bed. For many families, this app has become a bedtime ritual. Maybe you give it one more chance to discover its true charm 🛌💤❤️‍. Best wishes from Berlin 🦊🐑 ### 5/5 — Im an og *2024-05-22, version 5.6* Since i was 2, which was all the way back in 2013, my dad showed me this and put me to sleep, ive loved this app, im kinda bummed they make you huy the spider cat pony goat and other animals now but this app still gives me that nostalgic feeling. I love this app. My dad left and this just brings me closer to him, he didnt leave by choice. One day we will live together again, but for now.. Nighty Night! ### 5/5 — My favorite still *2024-04-20, version 5.6* I bought Nighty Night bedtime story a few years ago when my granddaughter was young and I still listen to it now that she is a teen. I understand that Alistair Findlay is the narrator. I just love his voice. Does anyone know whether he narrates NN Circus. I didn’t find his name listed in the credits for either this app or the Circus ### 1/5 — Käufe wiederherstellen klappt nicht *2023-12-11* Wir hatten die App von Beginn an damals auf dem iPad 2. Ich hatte auch alle verfügbaren Tiere dazugekauft. Nun benötige ich die App wieder und soll die zusätzlichen Tiere noch einmal bezahlen… Sehr schade dass es immer wieder so ist, dass in-App Käufe irgendwann nicht mehr wiederhergestellt werden können. Ich sehe das leider nicht mehr ein und werde sie nicht noch einmal kaufen. Schade… Denn die App ist so schön gestaltet wie keine zweite. **Developer response:** Keine Sorge 🙂! Damit die Schlaf-Gut-App auch weiterhin stabil läuft, haben wir sie vor einigen Jahren in eine iPad-/ und in eine iPhone-Version aufgeteilt.
