Excellent !

Great content! My son loved it and it helped us be able to take a moment and relax together.

Not the best for bedtime

I was hoping this would be a quiet and calming option for bedtime stories. While there are so many stories to choose from, some are quite loud or have competing music in the background that can be overstimulating.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for sharing this with us — we truly appreciate it. At StoryNest, we’re always hoping to create a gentle, comforting space for children to wind down, especially at bedtime. Because our stories come from storytellers around the world, each one carries its own rhythm and style — and some may feel more lively or musical than expected in quieter moments. We’re currently working on making it easier for families to find the most soothing, low-stimulation stories when it matters most, like at bedtime. For now, you might enjoy exploring our “Calming” and “Bedtime” categories, which are thoughtfully gathered with peaceful listening in mind. Thank you again for helping us continue to shape StoryNest into a cozy, restful place for families.

Fantastic!

One of the best apps we’ve subscribed to. Well worth it! Sweet stories for our Littles and I trust the content as the stories are based on traditional family values and virtues. Fantastic!,

Love this app!

This has easily become the most requested story time before bed. Winds my kids down and we listen together while we snuggle. They learn valuable lessons and find the stories entertaining. As a mama of 4 that sometimes struggles with bedtime, this has become a godsend. Highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️

Awesome stories!

There are many amazing stories on storynest!

Amazing

On behalf of my child I'd like to say how satisfied she is with this app. The navigation is child friendly, the categories and age groups clear. They are able to return to favourites quickly and enjoy the wide and excellent selection of family friendly, made for children stories with valuable lessons, entertainment and even suspense. If looking for something far less mainstream and encumbered by trends, this is a safe haven for your child.

Love!

We love this app because it allows us to know that the stories are appropriate and curated with insights into what children want/need. This app has become a special part of our bedtime routine.

A sanctuary of Tranquility

These stories are calming, nourishing and so easily tailored to our little one’s needs whether it’s in the car, before bed, or simply for something to do between meals - thank you to the beautiful Storynest family and of course the story-tellers!

Lifesaver for busy mama

My kids love stories. For years I sat on the couch and read books, but their need for story was never satisfied. We started using Storynest and now they can listen to stories in the car, on the couch while I’m trying to make dinner. I still like read bedtime stories for them while we’re settling down for the night.
Storynest has great stories that are age appropriate and I don’t need to monitor he content.
I feel confident the developers have done the homework for me.

Fantastic app!

StoryNest is such a unique, wholesome and trustworthy source for beautiful audiobooks for kiddos.

In our overstimulated era, having an amazing source for oral storytelling that fosters imagination, creativity and downtime/emotional regulation for kids and downtime for parents is so important for families and I highly recommend this app to all my parent friends!

We are so grateful that you found us too! It is so great to have had you with us from the beginning, and to know that your boys are still enjoying the growing collection of stories in StoryNest. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!

StoryNest is awesome!

We love this app! Worth every penny. Gets the kids off the screens. Great for long car rides, bedtime, plane rides, etc etc. Today my kids love the “Blobfish” story the best. I’m happy to pay for this app…after all…if you’re not paying for the data you ARE the data! No advertising here, no annoying interruptions, nothing scary! It’s great!

Thank you for this review, and telling us about the story your children are enjoying most right now (we love Anna Steen, and Blobfish is so much fun). It makes us so happy to hear that you are making good use of your StoryNest subscription!

Love it!!!

I don’t know who loves this app more, me or my grandchildren! I highly recommend it.

A time saver!

I adore this app for my preschoolers! I can see us using it for many years. It allows us to quickly find stories appropriate for my kids ages. The audio and story quality is extremely high. It just means one less thing to worry about as a parent when I know the stories have been audited and that nothing inappropriate will play. Also, ad free!

This is exactly why we created StoryNest, so it is very rewarding for us to hear that you are finding that it saves you time and gives you peace of mind. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Great app

I’m very pleased about StoryNest. We have a six years old daughter, I play the stories during the drives between the school to home. My daughter and her friends love it! We love the stories from all over the world and 2 minutes tongue twister are fun for kids and adults. There’s many stories and different lengths of times we can choose from. When she has a lots of energy before goes to the bed, I play a short story in a dark room, it makes smooth transition to bedtime. We really enjoy listening the stories.

High quality content

We have really been enjoying this app! After the first week my child already had several favorite stories and we are enjoying the fresh batches that come out regularity. The narrators are wonderful and engaging and the stories all feel age appropriate. I like that I can search for stories by age range or length as well as more by a particular narrator. The content is of high quality so I feel confident in any story we chose. I wholeheartedly recommend StoryNest.

Wonderful story app

Our family LOVES this app. The stories are so wonderfully told and captivating. I love knowing that they can choose any story on the app and it will be appropriate for all 3 of my children. They love to take turns choosing new stories and revisiting the ones they have fallen in love with and play on repeat! I highly recommend this app

StoryNest

I got this app for my grandchildren who love stories. I hoped to have an altrnative to watching things on a visual screen and to have quality stories to stimulate imagination and capture their attention while driving in the car, colouring or resting on the couch. I am happily surprised with the quality of the stories and storytelling. They are filled with sound effects, songs and enlivened story telling voices that capture not only my 4 and 9 year old grandchildren but also "myself".
I am finding that both of my grandchildren are preferring these audio stories over their "shows" and they ask for their favorites already after only a short time. I highly recommend for listening at the "grandparents" and as a gift for their listening at home.
