Leave a Review AutoSleep Track Sleep on Watch
Love this app
This has also become one of my favourite apps. I was a little apprehensive about setting it up right but it was just following the wizard and I was able to start tracking my sleep. Over the next week, I learned what the bits and pieces meant and tweaked the settings to increase its accuracy and tried out AutoAwake to wake up with; it was an enjoyable process of discovery and I now have a very accurate sleep monitor that lets me know when I have a sleep debt, how long it takes me to get to sleep, how consistent I have been with regular bed times and wake times, what the quality of my sleep is, and even what my oxygen levels are when I wake. I use this with the watch.Show lessWhiteDove78
Definitely worth buying!
I’ve hunted through all sorts of sleep apps to and so far this one is the best without a doubt. I was a little hesitant with all the free apps out there and how many I’ve hated even paying for the full version but those one has absolutely exceeded expectations. My favorite thing is the readiness score. I have a tendency to either sleep very little or a lot and have trouble finding a system that makes me feel prepared for the day. I’ll sometimes think I’ve slept a ton and still feel terrible or think I didn’t sleep at all and feel great but the app tracks the quality of my sleep in a way that actually gives me a accurate idea of how I’ll feel and how productive I’ll be through the day. I usually plan sleep around that score rather than just having the time to sleep. It counts naps towards my sleep debt which is AMAZING because sleeping 5 hrs and getting a nap works great for me most days. I’ve not explored a lot of the other features mostly because these two things are the important bits for me.Show lessB＼(^o^)／
Superb app, without a subscription!
This app is amazing. I’ve had an Apple Watch for about a year, but have only been wearing it to sleep for the last week, since getting this app.
The insights it offers are great - and are presented in varying levels of detail across different screens so you can decide how much depth you want to go into.
I’ve already learned a lot about my sleeping patterns and I’m expecting the app will help me make various changes to improve them.
Lastly - the app doesn’t require a subscription fee. It’s well priced, and if brand new versions emerge in the future, I’ll be happy to pay for them.
(So a note to the developers... please keep going against the flow and sticking with an up front payment rather than the subscription that other apps require! And... great work!)Show lessSequentialist
This should be Apple’s standard sleep app
I used to use the Fitbit app and tracker and really liked it. To the point that I used to keep it charged just to wear at night. This app makes the Apple Watch competitive and even better than what I had with my basic Fitbit. The Apple app for sleep tracking is useless without this. A cool feature is the waking option with the watch. I like how you can set it to wake you up at the right time in your sleep. I find this does work. I used to use another app for that. Love that this combines that feature. This, to me is a strong almost 5 star app. Reason I don’t give it a 5, is because there are some measurements that are a little harder to understand, even after reading the helpful links they provide. I still don’t quite understand the heart rate dip measurements, wish that was more simplistic to understand. Another thing I wish it had was a feature for getting tips to improve areas where you struggle with optimal sleep, that would be awesome. Otherwise the app is great! Highly recommend for anyone trying to get insight into their sleep.Show lessEFab04
Nice, but kills battery
It’s a good app, but it drains my battery. I go to bed with 90 or 100% battery and wake up with 40%. They do have a supposed fix in the faq, but it’s not complete and only seemed to work for a short time. They tell you to delete the watch app, restart the watch and phone, and reinstall. But first of all, you can’t actually delete the app without unpairing the watch first. I made this mistake and clicked where it said “remove from phone screen” or something like that, only to discover that the app had disappeared but not actually deleted. It was a bit of a challenge at that point to find out how to actually delete it, and after a significant amount of searching I found how to get to it and that you can’t delete the app without unpairing the watch.
So after going through all that, unpairing the watch, deleting and restarting everything, it seemed like the problem temporarily got better for a week or two, but has now resorted to draining the battery again. I have another sleep app that doesn’t do this, so I don’t understand what the problem with this one is. I only wanted this one as a comparison with the other one, and it does have some additional features, but this battery draining is just not worth it. Also unpairing, deleting, reinstalling and restarting every two weeks is also not worth it.Show lessSeven_Of_Nine_2350
Think twice about it! Use other apps
I have used this app for a couple of weeks in parallel to other sleep apps. I was excited about it! However, it showed significant inconsistencies recording deep sleep and HRV (heart rate variability) which count towards the readiness index. This index was almost always opposite to what the other submetrics were showing (almost every time I was on red with sleep quality, deep sleep, heart dips etc., the readiness index was on green or close to rather than the other way around). After going through their FAQs which seemed to support the fact that errors have been reported about these issues, I made sure to reach out to their customer service as a sign of respect for their product. I followed their guidance to lower my deep sleep setting (even though it contradicted their HRV indicator of the past few nights - I use Breathe in the morning to accurately report that metric) and it still didn’t read it. Meanwhile, the metrics on two other apps (SleepWatch and Sleep Cycle) yielded similar metrics compared to AutoSleep. When I emailed the AutoSleep customer service and requested a refund out of concern that the app was not running well, their response was that the app works and that it is designed for “tech savvy” customers. Not only was that condescending but highly inaccurate in my case. Maybe it works for others but, in my case, I’m choosing to go with other apps at this point.Show lesscconsta
Best sleep app
I’ve tried many different sleep apps and this one is the best by far. Why? 1) seamless integration with Apple Watch, 2) very useful sleep metrics summarised in the app and on the Watch, 3) integration of other metrics such as heart rate variability (from the Watch!), 4) the developer is constantly updating the app and making it better!Show lessProductiveguy
I check it every day!
There are few apps that I use every single day, but this is definitely one of them. Sleep is so important to the body and I really like seeing how I’m doing in that area. Checking my deep sleep, my total sleep, my heart rate and all of the other valuable information in this app is some thing I do each morning after I get up. On a few occasions I have gone to bed without my watch I really miss getting that level of detail about my sleep session.
There is one thing I would love to see added to the app and that is a cat nap or a power nap feature. Maybe that would be added to auto awake and not auto sleep ... I’m not sure. I used to use a Jawbone before I got my Apple Watch and I loved that I had a power nap feature where I could push a button saying that I was going to lay down and go to sleep and then it would know when I fell asleep and wake me up 20 minutes later or 30 minutes later or whatever was in my settings. I miss being able to have some thing to track how long I’ve been asleep and then wake me up in a certain amount of time.
If one of these two apps could do that ...it would be the perfect addition!Show lessScdepatr
So valuable
I wear my watch to sleep so I can enjoy the benefits of this app. It’s so good and really helps me understand my sleep patterns. Though if my watch goes below 10% battery during the night it doesn’t send data to the app and I can’t see a way to tell the app that I actually was still asleepJaynesaccount
Large number of easily understood measures
Been using this app for many years.
One of the most easy to understand sleep assessments while including such a large number of metrics for the users information. For those unusual measures, there is an explanation of what each mean, and all seem to have value with how I would sleep. No complaints. Also nice to have an easy and quick to use watch complication for alarm setting!
Issue with the Apple Sleep app is that it requires you to set a bedtime routine which is not suitable for shift work. This just automatically records sleep and allows alarms with no complication.Show lessJ.PEREIRA
