Leave a Review Sleep++
It was great until they updated it
I have narcolepsy and this app was *fantastic* at tracking my sleep intervals, more so than any other app available; and it was absolutely worth the $2.99 donation they asked for. Then the latest update changed everything. It stopped tracking my awake time, and not only that, it went back and retroactively changed my past entries to show solid nights sleep which really upsets me as I was going to share the data with my new sleep specialist. Last night I woke up, went to the bathroom, gave my dog cough medicine, and had brief a conversation with my husband. I woke up at least 2 other times, briefly. It says I had zero awake minutes, which is not at all accurate. Two other apps that I have downloaded this week to demo did show me to be awake during those times. The developer said it was due to their new algorithm and that they aren’t willing to change it back. Should they decide to roll it back, I’ll update my review and leave it the 5 stars that it did deserve, but unless that happens the app is completely useless.Show lessPugslyPuppy
Stopped tracking my sleep
This app was working pretty well for months. I would have to make manual adjustments to some nights where it either said I was awake during the night when I wasn’t, or that I went to bed earlier than I did, but for the most part it was really solid and I appreciate that I got a lot more info than Apple Health will give me. But it completely stopped tracking about 2-3 weeks ago and nothing I do will fix it. I’ve tried all the suggestions in the app multiple times, tried uninstalling and reinstalling it (losing all my data in the process), nothing works. Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.Show lessdiptutod
Limitations
I think the limitations lie with the device and not so much the app. I was hoping to see patterns in my sleep and awake cycles. I sleep pretty poorly and can lie awake or partially awake several times throughout the night. As I lie there and try to fall back asleep, the app believes I’m already asleep since I’m not moving. I’ve even read a book and had the app report I’m sleeping. It also doesn’t always see me as awake if I get up to go to the bathroom. It’s not clear if the app takes in the other data like heartbeat, position of the watch, etc.Show lessJMFrey
Awake time inaccurate
This app continuously tells me that I have been awake for less then 5-10 minutes (approx 1%) every night.
I know this is untrue. I am a very light sleeper most of the night. I wake up in the middle of the night every night and lay there staring at my clock for sometimes hours, but never less than 30 minutes. For example, it stormed most of the night last night. I was awake for better part of the night, 3-4 hours if I had to guess. The app says I was awake 6 minutes and restless 27 minutes. I actually got out of bed several times to look outside and check the basement for water.
I had a Fitbit and considered their sleep app very good. Sadly Apple doesn’t have such a built in sleep tracker so I purchased this one.
I am quite disappointed in its performance and sleep tracking ability.Show lessSleeplessInCreek
Limited
I’ve tried at least 6 sleep apps and this is the best, but that doesn’t say much. App presents data clearly. But there are limits on data available. Getting up during the night shows as awake but not that you got up, and then shows you awake for much less time than you were. And no way to edit to show that. Going to sleep and getting up time are usually quite wrong. I have problems falling asleep and app shows me asleep before I actually am and same thing in the morning. At least there is the ability to edit. Does not include any data on heart rate during the night. Ability to export to cvs file is good.
Any app that works based on your movements is going to have limited accuracy. They provide interesting data but you need to view it as such.Show lessmjdindc
I think it does what it says it’s going to do.
I’ve been using this app for over a few months now and I have to say that it works better than the other ones. It does what it is supposed to do without the “extra” stuff you would have to buy. It tells me how long I slept, how long out of those hours was my sleep the best or worst. It’s a really good app if you need to track the times you are asleep. I recommend it for anyone honestly.Show lesssydsyd21
It’s ok, but not very accurate
Been wearing the Apple Watch for a couple weeks now, and tracking sleep with sleep++. Recently, I went on a business trip and had some trouble sleeping due to the poor hotel conditions. I’d wake up several time a night, for minutes or more at a time, before I could get back to sleep. After checking the app in the morning, it recorded that I slept all night with minimal “restless” time and nothing recorded suggested multiple times awake. This was clearly not the case as I was flipping like a fish out of water.
I was at the hotel for 4 nights, and every night was the same, short bouts of sleep with waking every couple hours. The app just didn’t catch it.Show lessFlugrey
Great Sleep Tracker
I love this app because it’s simple and unlike a lot of sleep trackers out there, it’s actually free. It’s pretty good at automatically detecting when you’re asleep as well as when you wake up in the night or keep tossing and turning. You can also adjust you start/end times too if the detection was a bit off. Overall, it’s easy to use and does what I need it to. The only thing I’d like would be a way to track naps as well because it seems to only be able to track sleep per night. Even if nap detection wasn’t automatic, I’d still like to be able to log that along with my data.Show lessstrawberryfawnx
Not Great!
After paying the fee for no ads. I continue to get them. Have complained several times and all I get is restore the purchase..still doesn’t work. Also it continues to skip nights. It records one night than can skip 2 to 3 nights. I still get the same answer to restore and it makes no difference. My watch is pretty much glued to my wrist and doesn’t move...no reason for the skipping. Company had no answers just BS. I’m sure there are better sleep apps at this point. I’m going to find one. I suggest you all look elsewhere. I was being nice giving 3 stars. That’s just for the nights it did work.Show lessCrzy4u4evr
Doesn’t work
I got this app when I first got my Apple Watch and thought it was pretty cool. But it was inconsistent. Didn’t always record correct information, if at all. So I deleted it and tried some other, similar apps and they didn’t work either.
Now, about a year later and several updates and a new iOS, I decided to try it again. Upon downloading, it showed me sleep data from the last couple of weeks when the app wasn’t on my iPhone or Apple Watch. I think this strange...creepy even! It still skips nights completely. I manually started my sleep one night and it gave me 2 data records, 1 manual, 1 automatic and different. Last night I didn’t start it manually and it recorded nothing.
What is this app for other than spying in the background and showing ads?Show lessSportna
