Mr. Moonlight is Featured as Apples Staff Favorite Pick of the week!

Make nap time and bedtime easier and less of a struggle with Mr. MoonLight.

Mr. Moonlight teaches children to stay in bed longer in the morning so parents get more sleep. Visual "sun" and "moon" cues teach young children, ages 2 to 5, to distinguish between the cycles of day and night and learn healthy sleep patterns.

Mr. MoonLight displays a glowing moon in the evening (or for afternoon nap) and quietly changes to a sun, (at a time parents specify), to confirm that nighttime or nap time is over and it is okay to wake up. If your child wakes up too early, use this app to teach them to rest quietly until "the sun comes up" at the time that you set.

Mr MoonLight minimizes parent-child tension and negotiation at sleep time and reduces power struggles by shifting focus towards "waiting for the sun to come up."

Features
• Child-recognizable "sun" and "moon" visual cues
• Timer mode for afternoon napping
-(Set time interval, e.g. 1 hour)
• Clock mode for night time sleeping
-(Set exact time, e.g. 7:00am)
• Optional gradual-wake lullaby music
• Optional good night lullaby music

For use on iPod, iPad and iPhone. It is recommended that device is charging while in use. If charging without a dock, simply turn device upside down and prop it up.

The purchase of Mr. Moon Light gets you the iPod Touch, iPhone, and iPad versions. Only pay once!

Pros and cons of Mr. MoonLight : Kids Visual Alarm Clock and Nightlight for Sleep Training app for iPhone and iPad

Mr. MoonLight : Kids Visual Alarm Clock and Nightlight for Sleep Training app good for

I was looking for something that would tell my kids when it was okay to wake. This does that but it does not lock the screen so the kids could touch the screen to change the settings. Please make a lock feature so my kids cant leave the screen and change things or play other games while it is on. If you did this, I would recommend it to all my friends. Secondly, for a more advanced version, eventually putting a clock (digital and analogue) instead of a countdown would teach them time as well. But I would be extremely happy if it just had a lock feature.
The is a good app. That thought our toddler to sleep in a bit longer but it runs on a timer which is set when you set the alarm. With my iPod this led to issues when used day after day. Sometimes the timer would be off by 30 min or more unless I reset the app or iPod. It would be better if it was triggered by the clock directly.

Some bad moments

Theres nothing to show a child how much time to wait until the sun comes up, such as a gradual change in color or disappearance of stars, just the sudden appearance of the sun to show its time to wake up. Its a deal from toddler clocks that cost $40 plus but wont interest an impatience child to stay in bed.
Not really good for sleep training plus I cant figure out what the difference is between setting the timer and clock. No explanation or instructions. Plus the moon and sun just change, no transition.
The sound off switch does not work, and even if I turn my volume down all the way, when I hit the good night button it turns the volume back up. Waste of my money. Can I get it back, please??
Awesome app! Weve been needing this, and it couldnt have been released at a better time for us. We are in the middle of relocating from one country to another, and this app is really helping the kids with adapting to the new time zones-and giving us parents a few more minutes of peace and quiet. The kids feel empowered by having their own alarm clock, too. THANKS SO MUCH!
I have been using mr. Moonlight for the past few weeks and my 3 year old loves it!
I had an extra ipod touch I received as a company gift. Now it is used nightly as my toddlers alarm clock! He cant read the time yet but he understands Moon & Sun!
