### 2/5 — Require faceid to uninstall?

*2026-01-14, version 5.3.31*

so annoying not giving delete option

### 5/5 — Buen dormir

*2025-12-30, version 5.3.31*

Buenisima melodía y narración

### 4/5 — Our favorite app, but needs updating

*2025-11-29, version 5.3.31*

My kids love this app. They even ask to listen to the stories during the day for long drives! It just needs an update — it sometimes crashes randomly, our Favorites list will disappear, and I’d like to explore other stories while one is playing and see some stories for the holidays

### 4/5 — .

*2025-11-20, version 5.3.31*

Me encanta la música y la app pero me parecen un poco altos los precios

### 5/5 — El oso soñador

*2025-11-05, version 5.3.31*

Me encanta la interacción entre la lectura, música y imágenes que hacen algo interesante para los niños

### 2/5 — No funciona la aplicación

*2025-10-30, version 5.3.31*

Tengo más de un mes que no me funciona la aplicación, todo el tiempo dice descargando…. No me carga nada, no puedo escuchar los cuentos y me quería cobrar anualidad de nuevo cuanto ya lo tenía cubierto y ahora me sale que ya la tengo y ni los cuentos me funcionan

### 5/5 — Un regalo lleno de bienestar!

*2025-10-23, version 5.3.31*

Es increíble ver cómo es que mi hijo ha crecido al lado de esta app, de muy pequeño le gustaba oír las historias y que su mami le diera el masaje, hoy después de casi 7 años, sigue con la emoción de recibir un masaje con la historia y música de la app, en realidad es un regalo que se gana por hacer bien su día! Una app inigualable que da bienestar y alegría a mi hijo. Gracias!

### 5/5 — If you have an issue, they will work with you.

*2025-10-20, version 5.3.31*

My initial review was 1 star but after talking with them they did the right thing.

### 2/5 — Ads ads ads

*2025-10-02*

I get they want me to buy the full version.  But asking 6 times to purchase before one meditation is a little over the top.

**Developer response:** Hi 🙏 Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand it can feel repetitive, and we’ll share your comment with our team to improve that experience. Storybook does include some free content, and the subscription exists to support the narrators, musicians, and developers who create everything with love. Blessings 💛

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-04-11, version 5.3.31*

Today(4-11-26) they said I won the  golden ticket, but after I have to pay for the subscription, I don't want the subscription. They said just a free trial, not a subscription.Then they put so  many proposals for subscriptions I DONT WANT A SUBSCRIPTION!!!!!!

### 1/5 — tried to stop it

*2026-01-17, version 5.3.31*

tried to unsubscribe within the free days and it did not

### 1/5 — Horrible company to deal with

*2025-12-28, version 5.3.31*

I have been erroneously charged once again a whole year later after cancelling last year and cannot get anyone to respond to my emails for a refund. Buyer beware!

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2025-11-17*

I tried the free trial for my children and it was such a blessing, not just for them, but even for me as I incorporated the app as part of our bedtime routine. Until I purchased the subscription in my iPhone and then I tried accessing the app in my children’s tablet. The app got me out of the account and I couldn’t access it in neither devices. I paid the $59 for the year, it shows I have the subscription, but can’t access it. I tried canceling the subscription, emailing many times Apple and the developer and received no response. I really dislike giving the app a bad review because the app itself it’s wonderful and we miss it, but I not only lost the money, but I can’t even use it and having to find time for all this it’s so inconvenient. I really hope the developer can figure out a better user interface when dealing with the subscription process to avoid future issues like this and improve the customer interface experience.

**Developer response:** Hi 🙏 I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been through. A real person is handling your case and will follow up. What you describe shouldn’t happen, and we want to fix it for you.

Please email info@familify.com with:
• your registered email
• the devices you used
• a screenshot of the subscription

We’ll help you regain access as quickly as possible

### 1/5 — Son unos estafadores

*2025-11-17, version 5.3.31*

En el mes de noviembre se me realizó un cargo en la tarjeta por una suscripción premium que no solicité y que tampoco se me ha aplicado las ventajas de dicha suscripción llevo numerosas ocasiones reclamando la devolución de dicho importe sin respuesta alguna.

### 1/5 — Empresa que estafa : mucho cuidado

*2025-11-10, version 5.3.31*

Esta empresa te sigue contando 46€ incluso cuando has cancelado la suscripción. No tienen servicio de soporte , no contestan correos. Se quedan con tu dinero. Ojo posible estafa

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2025-10-10, version 5.3.31*

Misleading - says 7 day free trial but then when you go to install charges you £49.99 - BEWARE!

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2025-10-09, version 5.3.31*

My kids did the free trial, I was charged the day before the trial ended. I kept tabs, I am positive. Apple told me because a cycle is 24 hours before the next billing cycle which makes no sense. If something says free for a certain amount of days you should not be charged. I was charged $59 and they wouldn’t reimburse me. So I redownload the app and then it said I needed a subscription… I just paid $59 for a subscription and still can’t get it. I’ve tried closing and opening, redownloading, and messaging apple and the app developer. This is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Apresentando erro

*2025-10-08*

Preciso de ajuda, fiz a assinatura anual, para poder usar principalmente as afirmações, durante o sono, mais já faz uns dias que isso não é possível, pois eu coloco a afirmação, programada para tocar por 6hs, e antes de concluir a primeira repetição, o app para. Por favor corrigir isso urgente.

Desde que me la recomendaron ha sido un éxito a la hora de dormir a mi bebé, ya se convirtió en nuestra rutina y es demasiado relajante, amo sus afirmaciones y cuentos, su música es muy atenúa y ayuda para mejorar su estado de ánimo. Felicidades a quien la inventó! 🥹🫶🏻🤎✨
