Great App
I find the Dreamscape stories very helpful for calming my brain and getting to sleep. Karen has a beautiful, soothing voice. The app’s tech support is most helpful as well. I had issues logging in to the new app. They researched the issue and helped me every step of the way.

Great app
So far I am really enjoying this app, from the music, to stories to recipes, its quite nice. The pace for the stories and recipes are fantastic as well. I do think a little more history on some of the castle’s, or even more folklore or faerie stories would be a great addition to it as well.
