« We had two Luniis at home. My children knew every story by heart within 3 weeks, and buying new €12 packs eventually cost a fortune. With StoryLoop, every evening is unique, and hearing my husband's voice when he's traveling has transformed our evenings. »
« The real shock is the acoustics. The Lunii produces a linear sound that doesn't help with sleep. With StoryLoop, the voice truly slows down in the last 3 minutes, and the 432 Hz music lulls my daughter to sleep. She falls asleep without needing to be prompted again. »
