Thank for made this app, for baby and kids. ### 5/5 — Update this *2017-10-04, version 1.6* Please update this app to work with ios11. ### 5/5 — Please upgrade so I can use you!!! My son can’t sleep without you *2017-10-01, version 1.6* Not graded for the new software and now we don’t sleep please help and upgrade ❤️ this app ### 5/5 — Love this app but... *2017-09-24, version 1.6* Love this app but it needs to be updated for IOS 11. ### 5/5 — Amazing, works perfectly *2017-09-16, version 1.6* Our children sleep so soundly with this, and they peacefully put themselves back to sleep when it's on. I highly recommend this!!! Especially for parents with children that struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep. ### 5/5 — HIGHLY RECOMMEND *2017-07-21, version 1.6* I'm a mom of 3 and this app has really helped with getting my littles settled and asleep... and sleep keeps me sane! Lol..so yes, I highly recommend trying it. I have been using this app for a couple years now, first with my now 2.5yr old and now with our baby who is 6mo old. My 2 year old still likes to listen to it. It has worked REALLY well for both of them every time we've used it! I even enjoy listening. Very soothing and relaxing at bedtime. I do feel it helps them sleep better, especially as babies. Definitely worth the purchase. ### 5/5 — Worth every penny *2017-07-18, version 1.6* My daughter has always had issues falling sleep. I bought this at 4 months and it changed the game. She falls asleep and stays asleep! She's now 20 months and I make this this app is on my phone for road trips or sleep overs at a family members house. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2017-04-22, version 1.6* Helps my daughters sleep throughout the night ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2016-08-03, version 1.6* I have looked for & spent lots of $ on many ITunes albums in search of exactly what this app offers... A beautiful "playlist" for baby to fall asleep/relax to. It's cool that it has a 'nap' & also 'bedtime' play. Perfect for tired parents... Beware! It'll make your eyes droop too ! ### 5/5 — My 3 year old sleeps an extra hour in the morning! *2016-06-01, version 1.6* I bought this for my newborn but noticed that the music soothed my three year old. Now the whole family sleeps with it. It helps cover background noise and is soothing. It doesn't take much battery either. Recommend. ### 4/5 — More songs please *2016-05-20, version 1.6* I love this app. It could be better with the option to download more songs. ### 4/5 — Best $2 I've ever spent. *2016-04-09, version 1.6* I have a 2 & 4 year old. Nap time and bed time were agonizing! Everyone jumping out of bed and crying to not have to sleep. But they obviously needed sleep. Now it is so peaceful. I turn the app on while we're doing our wind down routine and they both lay in there beds and fall asleep so fast! My 2 year old nods off within 5-10 minutes and the 4 year old is 15-30. Plus, my 2 year old has severe eczema and would wake frequently in the night and we are down to one early morning waking and that's it. I haven't slept this good in four years! The only complaint I have is I wish you could program it more like an alarm and not a timer. The timer is great because you can say my kids need 12 hours of sleep and set it for that, but it would be nice if I could just say wake my kids by whatever time I choose. Anyway, still love it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-03-22, version 1.6* We started using this with our twins at 2.5 months old and they started sleeping longer stretches. We still use it at almost 3 years old. Makes traveling easier, too, since we can easily transport the app with familiar music. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — UPDATE APP ASAP!!! *2017-10-07, version 1.6* We depend on this app for our 8 month old to sleep - it's a life saver, but since it's not compatible with IOS 11 we can't use it anymore! My child now wakes up every 2 hours, compared to only waking up 1-2 times in a 12 hour period... please update this, we're desperate! We need it back!!! Please!!!!! ### 1/5 — No longer works *2017-10-03, version 1.6* This app was great, but has not been updated and will not work with iOS11 ### 1/5 — Do NOT purchase! Not compatible with iOS 11 and won’t run. *2017-09-29, version 1.6* Was working fine until iOS 11. It’s not compatible with iOS 11 and won’t run. Last update was 3 years ago. I wish I would have noticed that before purchase. ### 1/5 — Makes sleeping worse *2017-09-21, version 1.6* I bought this app off the recommendations. If there were a trial version, I would've not bought the upgraded version. This doesn't work for my infant. She prefers the hairdryer and fan sounds, as she's more restless with this! ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2017-02-23, version 1.6* I had infant twins and a 3 year old who had a hard time sleeping. Tried for all 3 but didn't work. ### 1/5 — Junk emails galore!!!! *2015-11-01, version 1.6* I honestly haven't tried the app that much yet but I did send them an email and now I'm getting about 40 junk emails a day. I'm not even being sarcastic. Very frustrating!!!!! ### 2/5 — Love this app but sad *2017-10-17, version 1.6* I have used this app for a few years now and love it. My whole family uses it. Unfortunately it does not work with iOS 11. This is very upsetting and wish they would come out with an update to make it compatible. ### 2/5 — Need update!!! *2017-10-14, version 1.6* Please update this app. I use this everyday with my kids and it is not iOS 11 compatible. Typically 5 Star app! ### 2/5 — Not sure why it only works with iOS 6 *2016-03-07, version 1.6* The lullaby is nice and soothing however the app is pretty uninspired. I was extremely disappointed when I couldn't use the app on my original iPad because it doesn't run IOS 6 and yet the app is basically just a long lullaby run on a single screen. If it was compatible with older iPads I'd give it 4 stars. ### 2/5 — Won't work on iPad and iPhone *2016-02-17, version 1.6* I purchased this to use on my iPhone and iPad. I can't find the app for my iPad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Baby and Toddler Sleep Aid *2020-05-28, version 1.7.2* First, just a heads up that they did update the app and it works on older and newer iOS now (I’m using iPhone X with iOS 13.4.1). This seems to be the source of they’re negative reviews, which is no longer an issue. I used sleep genius for both of my kiddos, and I find it to be the very best thing for babies and toddlers. I believe we have tried every music/white noise device/app/toy that exists. Sleep genius’ music is BY FAR the most hypnotizingly relaxing. It also has the two seemingly basic but necessary functions that are too frequently lacking in toys and devices: nonstop play, and exactly timed play. If I want it to play for 53 minutes, I can do that. If I want it to play for as long as possible in the hopes that my baby will let me sleep for 20 hours, I can do that too. I cannot recommend it enough - it’s worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable sleeping aid *2019-11-13, version 1.7.2* I bought this app when my child was 1. She was a horrible sleeper and cat mapper. There is something amazing with the music melody. This helped calm my child to sleep. I’ve been using this app for 5 years and instantly used it on my second child who is now 4 and my oldest who is now 6. The music calms them and gets them ready to sleep. I like how I have the option to have it play all night or for a specific time period. I like how the nap time music is a little different as well. Please don’t change any thing. I highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-08-24, version 1.7.2* We have used this app since 2015 with our first baby! And now we have our second baby and we are using it again in 2019! It’s amazing. It helps them sleep and stay asleep! When I turn if off my son will start to stir and wake up. It even puts us parents to sleep! Haha. It’s great! I definitely recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2019-02-05, version 1.7.2* I have a little girl that is 8 months and super smart and wants to get into everything! She doesn’t want to be left out and will not sleep to continue her exploration of the world. I had tried other apps before and she would ignore them. I downloaded the app and by the second song she was asleep! Omg I am so impressed and happy that her little growing mind gets to rest for the next day of exploration. Thank you! Before it will be until she was done exploring or would cry herself to sleep because I put her to bed! But omg this app works!! Thank you again!! Nancy R. ### 5/5 — I can’t explain it *2017-11-04, version 1.7.1* Perhaps it’s just consistency, but I’ve used this app for two kids, and it’s magic. Only complaint I have is I can’t output the sound via Bluetooth in my car but we don’t go anywhere without it. 5 stars, thanks for the update for iOS11! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-10-22, version 1.7* Music usually puts me asleep too! It’s gentle sound is not annoying like other music apps & devices... It’s just right. ### 5/5 — This is the absolute best! *2017-10-20, version 1.7* It’s literally the only app out there that has nice versions of lullabies. It was the best money I ever spent for my baby and I use it daily! I don’t want to listen to tinny, less-complex versions of the same songs on CD or other apps out there ever again. I want Sleep Genius Baby! My son, after having a week without the app (iOS 11 slowed us down for a while), just passed out in my arms after finally having back again. Just three minutes of rocking and Sleep Genius Baby and he was out like a light. This is a 30 minute process when I don’t have the app playing! Thank you! 💙💙💙 ### 5/5 — Best app ever *2017-10-11, version 1.6* But I can’t access it anymore on my iPhone 8 with the latest update, it gives a ‘developer needs to update app’ error... Please help me out 😭😭😭😭 my kids can’t fall asleep ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP *2017-10-11, version 1.6* We use it almost every night, please update to the new iOS - it all of a sudden won’t work without the update. ### 5/5 — Please update to work with iOS 11 *2017-10-06, version 1.6* This is my favorite app! Please update it so it’s compatible for iOS 11. I miss using it since I updated my phone. My little guy misses it as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
