FAQs

Moshi is designed for kids but it can be enjoyed by any age group, babies, toddlers, infants, children, teenagers, and even adults!!

Many experts recommend not to use mobile devices before sleeping. Moshi’s enchanting audio-only content means there is no need for screens at bedtime.

The stories and meditations in the app have been written and designed to be read in a very specific way with calming narration, sleepy audio effects and soothing background music/sounds that relax kids into a wonderfully restful state.

We publish at least one piece of content on a weekly basis, This could be a story, music, sound, meditation or activity. We’d suggest signing up to push notifications or email so that you receive the alerts of new content.

You can now create multiple playlists. To start by creating your own playlist of Moshi tracks, tap on Playlists at the bottom right tab of the navigation menu:

Tap the “Create a New Custom Playlist” button at the top of the screen.
Give your playlist a name and tap the button “Create playlist”.
You can create up to 30 custom playlists! You will find a list of your custom playlists under the “Playlists” tab in the Playlists menu.

You can add tracks to your playlist from your favorites which you can find under the Favorites’ tab by tapping the “add to playlist” icon at the top right corner of the track.

You can also add tracks to your custom playlists from the player by tapping the “add to your playlist” icon. You will find a list of all your custom playlists under the “Playlists” tab. You can reorder by holding & pressing on the track’s cell.

If you need to delete a track from your custom playlist swipe right on the track you want to remove.

You cannot edit or change the order of the suggested playlists that we have already provided.

How do I add a track to my favorites?

Our team has worked hard to create activities with gentle music that will engage your child during play. These activities also teach the following:

Puzzles: Teaches logical reasoning and spatial awareness
Matching – Teaches identification of patterns, similarities and differences
Coloring – Teaches creativity, object, and color recognition
Memory – Teaches attention and critical thinking

It is not certain when a brand-new game will be released. As soon as a new activity is ready, it will be added for your child to experience.

As long as you have played the activities once using wifi, they should then be playable offline 🙂

Activities are only available to those on a Subscription. You can find out more about Moshi Subscription here.
To learn more about Moshi Play, please visit our knowledgebase – Located on the right hand side.

When a child’s goal is to sleep, we would not recommend leaving the device accessible to them. The audio tracks continue to play even when the screen/device is turned off. We may look at adding a locked feature to Moshi Play in the future to prevent any temptation!

If Moshi tracks keep stopping whilst the app is running in the background:

• Make sure there is enough storage space on your device and delete any unused apps to free up space.

If you have already done this and the problem persists, go to your device’s settings, tap on Apps and find Moshi. Then check for the following:

• Ensure Notifications are allowed.

Creating individual profiles for each child will enable us to tailor content recommendations for their age group, interests, and their family’s needs, giving them the best possible experience with Moshi. They’ll be able to create their own playlists and  favourites.

We added a sprinkle of Moshi Magic by allowing them now to choose an adorable Moshling for your profile picture as well.

Parental gates present an adult level task that must be completed in order to proceed. In apps aimed primarily at children, this has become a requirement.

Moshi has added in the parental gate pop-up in 2 places:

– for free users when trying to access a subscription sign up

– for all users when accessing the Settings menu (from the profiles page)

The birth year needs to be between 16 and 100 years old to continue. (If you’re over 100, we don’t mind you fibbing!)

First, you need to download the Alexa app and go to the Skills section. Search for the Moshi Kids skill and enable it for your Alexa devices. For access to the all non-interactive tracks from Moshi library, you will need to link your premium subscription.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use the Moshi Skill via Alexa Kids. Due to the nature of the Moshi account setup, we don’t quite hit the criteria to be used via Alexa Kids. You can still use Bluetooth though!

Once you have enabled the Moshi Kids skill in the Alexa app, you can link your Moshi account in the Settings section of the Moshi Kids skill. Select Settings and choose Link account, then you will need to enter your Moshi credentials. (These are the email and password you use to sign into the app).

Once your account is linked, and you have an active subscription,
you will be able to access all non-interactive tracks from Moshi’s premium subscription library for as long as you are subscribed.

If you are not currently a subscriber, and would like to be, please go to moshikids.com or download the Moshi app, and follow the onscreen prompts.

Non subscribers can access a selection of free tracks via the skill by saying:
Alexa, ask Moshi Kids to play a free track.

Alexa, open Moshi Kids then say “Play Close Your Eyes SleepyPaws” or
Alexa, ask Moshi Kids to play “Close Your Eyes SleepyPaws.”
You can ask for any of the stories by name.

The best way to find tracks is to add them to your favorites list. When you open Moshi Kids and ask to play your favorites, Alexa will provide you choices from your favorites.

“Alexa, ask Moshi Kids…”

…to play the latest story.
…to pick a story for me.
…to play a calming story.
…to play a Nap time story.
…to play my favorites.
…to play my playlists.

You can always ask Alexa to “Start again” to go back to the original choices,
Or ask to “Repeat” the options
Carry on with confirming one of the options.

Please note that we recommend adding your most loved tracks to your favorites or to a custom playlist to make the most of Alexa.

Alexa will often drop out of the skill if it doesn’t understand a few statements. Please try starting again with Alexa, open Moshi Kids.

If you have just finished listening to a story, you will need to invoke the skill again by saying Alexa, open Moshi Kids before asking to play something else. Try creating playlists to listen to your favorite stories together.

Moshi Kids is optimised for Amazon Echo devices. Other Alexa-compatible devices may be able to launch the Moshi Kids skill.

A few suggestions to help Alexa understand:

*To make sure that Alexa hears you, move your device away from walls, other speakers, or background noise.
*Speak naturally and clearly.
*Rephrase your request or make it more specific. For example, if you want to listen to a SleepyPaws story say Alexa, ask Moshi Kids to play Close Your Eyes SleepyPaws.
*Set up a voice profile to train Alexa on your pronunciation.
*Check your voice history in the Alexa app to see what Alexa is hearing.
*Unplug your device and then plug it back in.

Moshi Kids is currently only available for English (GB) and English (US). Please check under Settings > Device Setting to check the language of your Alexa device.  It is also only currently available to those in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia & India.
