My 4-year-old said, "Thank you, that was so cool!" ...Then she begged to watch it again maybe m (Fatal flaw?)The background noise and narration are soothing, the illustrations are works of art, and the changing characters keeps it interesting. This will last us and her 2-year-old brother for years to come. ### 5/5 — A Bedtime Success *2015-02-01* My son really enjoys this app. The animation and narrator are top notch. He would like to see an alligator and a tiger added to the variety of passengers. He also wants to see a bullet train on the tracks. I told him not to expect miracles, but it never hurts to ask. Thanks for the wonderful story! Goodnight! ### 5/5 — I play everyday... *2014-03-09, version 1.1* Beautiful app Great design ### 5/5 — Bed time favorite! *2014-01-15* Sweet app that brings up calmness before going to sleep. ### 5/5 — Don't let the bedbugs bite *2014-01-05, version 1.1* Nice pace for a bedtime story.

I'd love to see a moose added :) ### 5/5 — Amazing Bedtime Express *2013-12-21, version 1.1* Hi to all out there. This is a must buy App What great artwork and super characters. My granddaughter likes the repetitive nature of switching off the lights and snuggling down to sleep. She just loves polar bear and the mouse family. Another winner from Unit 11 Well done keep them coming. . ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-12-20, version 1.1* This is an amazing app, graphics are fantastic, my nieces loved it. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2013-12-16, version 1.1* This is really beautiful.

Great job guys. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2021-10-14, version 2.1* Bought this today. Crashes every time. Tried about six times. Not quite the relaxing bedtime scenario I was lead to believe with my little girl getting annoyed because of it. Refund?? ### 1/5 — IWhat I think 💭 *2019-05-28* SOO BAD BOO 😡 SO SO BAD ### 1/5 — To much money *2015-03-12, version 2.0* This is trying copy the flying fox nighty night series. I would buy there's instead. ### 3/5 — Miss *2015-11-10, version 2.1* Nice idea, but app has crashed 3 or 4 times in a row now. Quite disappointed! Have only managed to see 2 passengers. Any fix available? ### 4/5 — Love the app... *2019-03-14* My kids are obsessed and this has become part of our bed time routine. They’d like to see a brown bear, a skunk, a woodpecker, a sea gull, and deer. ### 4/5 — Train bedtime *2015-09-01* Very good. Boy enjoys this train one. ### 5/5 — New characters *2026-01-14, version 3.0* My kids and I really enjoy the app. Wondering if we can see a unicorn? And a dragon? ### 5/5 — More passengers and stations *2021-10-31* I love this app. I would like the ability to choose passengers and a moose and a seagull added. So add it now, please. ### 5/5 — Super cute *2020-11-22, version 2.1* Great for winding down at bedtime ### 5/5 — Puts my son to bed 95% of the time! *2020-07-20* This is part of our bedtime ritual. Whether my son is wild and hyped up or just overtired, we give the animals a ride and then put them to bed. After we play, he yawns, and is asleep. I’d love some more animal characters (my request) but otherwise this has been a game changer for putting our little guy to bed. Thanks!! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2019-12-26* We have been using this since our boys were 1 and 3....they are now 6 and 8 and STILL like using this, its been fantastic! ### 5/5 — Very good *2019-11-28, version 2.1* Hi, This is an excellent app. We love it. BW, Emilian and family ### 5/5 — Original and lovely way to go to sleep *2018-09-28, version 2.1* We recommend this beautifully made app. The kids and I really love it, it is so soothing with such lovely characters. The voice and the sound effects are quite calming, so it’s ideal for bedtime. We have used this app for a year now and would love to see new characters. How about a family of toad, rabbit, squirrel, mole..I suppose interesting habitats are important. A Christmas special would be great too. ### 5/5 — Great book *2018-01-02* Read it to my toddler since she was 1 1/2. Really helps her wind down for bed ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-07-14* Such a great app and very unique! My only complaint is I wish there were more scenes and people on the train! Please add more! Otherwise it's so cute! ### 5/5 — Great App For Bedtime! *2016-03-25* The graphics and narration are perfect. It's the best thing to get my son to bed. An update would be really nice. New characters and new situations for the current characters would make this even better. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
