Mr. MoonLight : Kids Visual Alarm Clock and Nightlight for Sleep Training App Reviews

3 stars because its the only app of its kind that Ive found. But its very simple for the price and mine has a lot of quirks. The first night we tried it the count down got stuck at 22 minutes and never made it to morning/sun up. Also a request to review the app popped up and paused the clock. Finally in the settings mode when I change the music from off to on or vice versa it doesnt always save. Ive tried ten times in a row to change the setting but each time I go back to say "good night" the change I made doesnt happen. I hope these quirks get worked out... Or Ill be making a new review with less stars.

I am bummed this app doesnt work on my first generation iPhone, which has been passed down to my son to use as an iPod touch. Looks like it would be ideal for letting him know how long to stay in his room.

A reviewer below said it doesnt resume if your kid pushes the home button, but dont worry about that because they must have fixed it because it resumes! It works for us and our two year old sleeps in a bit longer while waiting for it to change to a sun. We own one of those $30 clocks that does something similar, but that clocks back light was too bright, not to mention the cost of batteries was outrageous! If you have an old iPhone or itouch you could use for it, as we do, its perfect. In my opinion the extra half hour (and occasional hour our son sleeps in due to this app) pays for the app itself! Just note that it keeps your itouch/iPhone on all night so youll need to plug it in over night!

Would be wonderful if it had a choice of a different moon. My three year old screams to turn it off because it is a "scary moon" looking at her. Great idea, but with picky preschoolers you need more options.

After three early rising kids and numerous nightlights or other dim lights on timers, this app is the best thing we have found so far to show our toddler (age 2.5) when it is time to wake up. It doesnt actually wake her but she understands the concept and loves the graphics. Best three bucks I have spent in a long time!

My family loves this! We use an old iPhone and it works great. I recommend this app to all my friends.

We love this app and so does my 2 year old! She understands that it isnt time to be up until "the sun comes out". Super helpful!

Love it, simple and great, beautiful graphics, would love to see an update with a few more choices for night songs and different moon/sun combos. Really really great app, no more fighting about what time to get up with my little one! :)

Works great with our little one, however Ive gone in after 7:30 a couple times to find it still on the moon when it was set to wake at 7:30am. This is confusing to the concept for her and Im fearful itll lessen its effectiveness...

I wish I had listened to a previous post. My four year old burst into tears, screamed, threw his phone on the ground, and went running when he saw the scary moon & sun. He promptly told me he didnt want that and for me to take it off his phone. I liked the app, but after a minute of use, I learned my child would have nothing to do with it. Need more picture options and the ability for it to stay dark until its time to wake.

Exactly what I was looking for in a visual alarm clock for my two year old. Thank you! Cant confirm the bug on the clock not working. It works fine for me. One request Id like to make is for landscape mode to be supported. We use the Smart Cover to prop up the iPad and landscape mode would orient your beautiful pictures properly. I really hope you add more songs and pictures. Maybe even some animations (ie. twinkling stars or drifting clouds at night, pulsing sun rays or flying birds in the morning--maybe have your Sun and Moon blink or yawn or smile?? Lots of playful goodies available here!).

I have never felt strong enough about an app to write a review. This app did it for our son. Our son, who has always been a great sleeper, started to wake up really early and would then be super crabby. I wanted to get the Kidsleep Classic , but could not afford the $39.99 right now. This does the exact same thing and is so easy.

The timer doesnt work properly...not even close. Do not buy.

At 7:45 pm, I set the alarm for 6:15 am. It says there are 72 hours until the alarm goes off. If at 6:15 am I set the alarm for 6:20 am, it says there are 18 hours until the alarm goes off. The time is never correct and it confuses and upsets my daughter when the sun doesnt "come up", even though the clock says shes allowed to get out of bed. There are ways to fiddle with the app to make it work, but it seems to me that a paid app should work the way it says it will. Dont waste your money.

Yep. The reviews that talk about it being off timing are correct

Love this app! It helps my son fall asleep on his own.

This app is great - nice graphics, sweet music to sleep by - but if it is reset during the night by my daughter (so she can hear the 20 min cycle of bedtime music again), the clock resets to the wrong time, hence making the sun/timer feature irrelevant. You have to manually change the time on the clock by a minute or two to keep it working on the right schedule, and of course my daughter cant make a tiny change like that at 2 1/2.

I gave this app 3 stars based on its potential. It has exactly what I was looking for in a visual timer for my toddler. However, there are bugs in the timer and it does not reliably go off when it has been programmed to do so. This is so disappointing for an app that otherwise has everything I am looking for!

I bought this app to help my four kids know when they can get up in the morning. Certainly was better than spending $40 on a clock that did the same...except: 1. You cant lock the iDevice and still see the moon/sun. This means its totally likely my kids will get up in the middle of the night (or in the morning) and grab said iDevice and begin playing with it - defeating the entire purpose. 2. The battery drain is obscene because the screen never times out. You really do need to leave it plugged in because, even with an iPad that had extensive battery life, it will be dead before the sun "comes up". 3. If you close out of the app, you need to set it back up every time - both for nap and bed. Not a HUGE inconvenience (its just a number wheel), but an inconvenience non-the-less. Overall, $3.00 isnt awful but I would have rather known these three things before purchasing.

This was the nicest looking app and it is exactly what we need but very often our 4 year old wakes up hours early and sees the sun (when it should still show moon) and gets up. Frustrating!
