Reviews
"This is fantastic my daughter is 9 and a great bedtime worrier about all sorts of things, she listens 
to this and gets to sleep no problem. I'd highly recommend it." 
Poppy. 

"In our busy lives I have learnt that anything that makes life easier is a boon and my latest discovery 
is no exception! Calm For Kids is a fantastic tool to help in the sometimes exhausting moments we know 
as childrenís bedtime."
Carey Campbell

"I have used this at bedtime for my 4 1/2 year old and wouldn't be without it now. It has become 
part of our bedtime routine and we use it  every night following a bedtime story. She has slept better 
and wakes less in the night. It is really lovely and I have recommended it to many of my friends with 
children. The stories are lovely and the visualisations are easy for young children to follow and understand. 
Would definately recommend." 
Kezzi - Burton on Trent, UK

the Calm For Kids range."

### 3/5 — No Family Sharing of In App Purchases

*2021-04-20*

This app has been so helpful for my daughter in falling asleep. She loves it so much that I paid for all the additional content. But when she got an iPod I was disappointed to discover that there was no way to transfer that content to her device using our Family Share plan. Apple now allows developers to permit in-app purchases to be shared in Family Share. Please update to allow this so my daughter can listen on her device and not have to use mine! Without that issue my review would be five stars!

**Developer response:** Hello and thank you for your review. 

We currently don’t have the Family Sharing feature in place. We will however pass your feedback on to Glenn and his team so when we update the app we will add Family Sharing. 

Please contact us at sales@hypnosisaudio.com if you require further assistance.
