I wish we could play them consecutively instead of having to get back on my phone and disrupting my falling asleep. I don’t fall asleep quickly and the pressure of “must fall asleep before the story is over” doesn’t help. There are long stories but not my favorite ones. The stories are the best and most plentiful out of all the sleep story apps, though. I’ve definitely tried them all. It’s also an incredible price for all the stories you get and they’re constantly adding more. ### 3/5 — SLUMBER *2026-08-15, version 3.39.0* My review is ok. The only problem is that most of the stories are locked. Like, I don’t have the money to pay for a subscription. But the rest is great. Just wish there were more free ones. ### 4/5 — Thank you *2026-08-11, version 3.39.0* This helps me and my child so much. THANK YYOOOOUUUU. 😁 ### 4/5 — Amazing *2026-08-06, version 3.39.0* I have been listening for a long time now and I love the variety of options in story choices. My only problem I only listen to one person, Evie Brown. I find her voice soft unlike the others. So if there were more soft voices it could even be 5 stars. ### 3/5 — The best sleep app ever *2026-08-06, version 3.39.0* Editing my review. I love the app but Thomas Jones isn’t a voice that helps me sleep and he has the majority of the stories. Need more variety in female vocals. The ability to pick voices, loop sounds after the vocal part or story, it’s just all around great. I cannot sleep without it. Worth every penny. ### 5/5 — Get this app NOW! *2026-07-25, version 3.39.0* I love slumber so so much! Slumber helps me fall asleep so fast and I can not fall asleep without slumber! ### 5/5 — Insomnia *2026-07-21, version 3.39.0* This app works every night for me. I’m sleeping before it ends. Give it a shot - what do you got to lose ### 3/5 — It’s ok . *2026-07-19, version 3.38.1* Better if it played in the background. It doesn’t. ### 5/5 — Slumber App *2026-07-17, version 3.38.1* The app is AMAZING. I just wish more of the stories were free ### 2/5 — Doesn’t show up in my Mindful Minutes on my Apple Watch. *2026-07-16, version 3.38.1* Can’t get help for this. Don’t waste your money ### 3/5 — SLUMBER *2026-07-15, version 3.39.0* My review is ok. The only problem is that most of the stories are locked. Like, I don’t have the money to pay for a subscription. But the rest is great. Just wish there were more free ones. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-07-14, version 3.38.1* Slumber is the best app ever! It can help you fall asleep instantly, works amazingly! One thing if you do get it get the membership it’s so cheap and you get access to all the stories my favorite is the 12 sleeping princesses! Definitely recommend! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-07-05, version 3.38.1* I use Slumber almost every night when I wake up in the middle of the night and cannot immediately go back to sleep. Although each speaker is a little bit different, most of the meditations are very calming, relaxing, and supportive of sleep. ### 5/5 — Storytellers *2026-06-30, version 3.38.1* My only "complaint" for want of a better word is that I find it extremely difficult to understand the French Whisper. I love the topics he discusses but I don't listen because I can't understand him with his French accent . I'm sure he is doing his best and I'm sorry for this "complaint" but I wish I could listen to the topics he presents. ### 5/5 — slumber 5 star review *2026-06-27, version 3.38.1* Slumber let’s me fall asleep within 10-20 minutes every night. I’ve always had trouble sleeping and falling asleep and slumber fixed that in a week, i’m so happy I found slumber. I’ve tried so many other sleeping apps and slumber was the only one that truly worked for me. Thank you slumber, your app is truly amazing!! ### 5/5 — Slumber *2026-06-25, version 3.38.1* Slumber makes me so calm that sometimes I falls asleep while reading my book and just helps me forget all the bad stuff and it opens the gate for happiness ### 5/5 — Using this app for years now *2026-06-18, version 3.38.1* Amazing consistency, love Sam, Olympia, Arif, French Whisperer, Dan Jones and the dragon stories, Elizabeth Grace… Love the “history of” stories too And Elizabeth reading Wizard of Oz, she has fun voices. ### 5/5 — Mistake. *2026-06-16, version 3.38.1* I’ve liked slumber a lot, especially Dan Jones. Now you need to change the name to the Thomas channel. I do like the music though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hard to listen to some *2026-08-22, version 3.39.0* Some narrators have grating voices.. the primary one actually so most of the stories are by him and his voice does anything but help me sleep. It’s very irritating. it would be nice to have more variety. It seems like the stories are childish. ### 1/5 — Ai voices :( *2026-07-27, version 3.39.0* I used to use this a lot but the voices became more and more generated. It’s uncomfortable how it sounds unnatural and no longer helps me feel calm and sleep. Some of the human ones that I liked the most have now been replaced with ai voices. The icons are also all ai generated. What a shame. I cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — I want to rate this highly but *2026-06-08, version 3.38.0* The problem is… Thomas Jones’ voice is on the VAST majority of any of the stories. Almost exclusively. And that would be fine except the reason there need to be voice options is because not every voice works for everyone. Unfortunately, his voice (though I adore a British accent) does the opposite of soothe my mind so I can drift to sleep. There simply are not many other voices to choose from and the ones there are… are not stories I want to play. So this app has to go & I’ll go back to “BETTER SLEEP” ### 1/5 — Where’s the variety? *2026-06-04, version 3.38.0* Please stop using Thomas Jones on every single track ### 1/5 — I love your app. *2026-04-20, version 3.37.0* 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Broken features. *2026-04-19, version 3.37.0* The background noises don’t work right. They are absent except for “music” which turns off the voice if you use it. ### 1/5 — No option to cancel free trial *2026-04-15, version 3.37.0* I clicked on free trial to see what that entailed. When I saw there was a charge I exited out however I have no idea if I’m going to be charged after the 7 days. I just want to confirm I didn’t sign up for the free trial then get charged after 7 days. There is no option to request assistance. ### 1/5 — Blah *2026-02-09, version 3.36.2* Okay ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-01-21, version 3.36.2* 39.99 a year and 7.99 monthly ### 1/5 — Data rape app *2025-12-08, version 3.35.0* Requires unnecessary registration and subscription to try. Standard personal data rape. Unacceptable. Deleted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best sleeping app *2026-08-26, version 3.39.0* I love it. I’ve been using it for over two years now! ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-25, version 3.39.0* Awesome job it works every time I use it! ### 5/5 — So good *2026-08-22, version 3.39.0* It helps me get sleep 5+ ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-16, version 3.39.0* I love using Slumber to fall asleep. My only wish is the ability to queue up a specific number of tracks (like playing exactly two chapters in a row) before the timer stops. Please consider adding a multi-track play option! ### 5/5 — Must Have for Sleep Struggle *2026-08-12, version 3.39.0* I have been using this app nightly for almost 2500 nights. I wish there was a more financially accessible way to get the locked sounds and stories. But I’ve faithfully listened to the Warm Jacuzzi for probably 2000 of my total nights. I can’t sleep without it. ### 5/5 — Just the best meditation and mindfulness app ever!!!! *2026-08-11, version 3.39.0* Really nice to use if you have insomnia! never have I slept so good listening to slumber! It just really helps me relax and get the sleep I need so I can be able to do good the next day! And it just gets me excited for the next big adventure I will have! I love that they are so calm when reading the story! I always have dreams of the story that they read and it comes to life in my dreams and that is awesome! ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-08-11, version 3.39.0* Was asleep very fast. Have always had struggle sleeping, at first I was happy it wasn’t pushing a subscription, but now im seriously considering subscribing. Absolutely wonderful app- my favorite is rainy day bakery! ### 5/5 — Can’t sleep with this app *2026-08-02, version 3.39.0* Love all of the changing stories and selections ### 5/5 — Can’t sleep without it! *2026-07-29, version 3.39.0* The only thing I don’t like about Slumber is, I fall asleep quickly, then miss a large part of the story! I go back often, but hard to tell where I dozed off. Excellent, try it. I have major insomnia, and it helps. ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2026-07-25, version 3.39.0* I’ve tried (and subscribed) to many different sleep apps before but I find Slumber to be the best. The sheer amount of stories is amazing. What I love the most is how often new content is added. I am a fan of “the sleepy history of…” stories and audiobooks. I will continue to subscribe to Slumber because you get your money’s worth! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
