best app I’ve ever had

I had rise for the past 12 months on a trial and it’s been the most useful tool in getting my sleep on track.
The sleep debt feature was really useful and made me more aware of how much extra sleep I needed. It’s helped me become more focused and get more out of my day.
The gentle wake up alarm had me feeling more awake during the day and stopped me wanting to press snooze. It also has some really great audio tracks to help you settle at night.

The only thing I’d like to see is a student discount or monthly payment options. Its worth the money but I can’t afford another 12 months at the moment.

Poor update

Have been using this for many years now and it is a great app’ unfortunatly the sleep tracking has become very inaccurate after one of the recent updates, if that could be fixed it would be brilliant

GET THIS NOW!!!!

PLEASE GET THIS APP!! I haven’t been able to get on a schedule for 2 years (yes that’s bad I know but you gotta stay up sometimes you know) and ever since I got this app I've actually been going to school, it’s so much easier to get up in the morning. (Now I only snooze once or twice 😂) when I first got the app I had 12 hours of sleep debt, that was maybe two weeks ago? Now I have 1 hour of debt (this doesn’t seem like a lot but it is for me!!) if y’all can relate to this, I like using to do list because I like checking the box off when I finish a task, it’s motivation. ITS THE SAME WITH THIS APP. As soon as I wake up I check how much sleep debt I have, it makes me actually WANT to go to sleep and not stay up all night. And it also tells you when your going to be productive and tired based on your sleep, I haven’t used the productivity to my advantage yet but it is very helpful knowing when I’m supposed to be tired every night, I’ve had less trouble falling asleep. I love this app even though it’s expensive, please. If you want to change your sleep schedule. GET. THE. APP!!!!

Energy Boost

The app is pretty good for encouraging you to go to bed earlier. I have noticed there are some mornings where the alarm doesn’t seem to go off. Also, the app sends me notifications all day long but when I open the app I can’t work out what the notification is for. Maybe there needs to be a Notifications area on the app that tells you what the notification is for (or maybe there is one and I just can’t find it). My biggest issue is that I want to use the Energy Boost feature but the app can’t find any time on any days that would be best to do any of the activities (I want to find the optimum time to exercise). I tried looking in the FAQs for help with this but the words “energy boost” don’t even come up in the FAQs search. Very frustrating.

Looks cool

Only been using this for a month but can already see the benefits :) I’ve been using Oura for almost two years now and it does not give as much insight into my energy levels as Rise. The interface is much simpler, the calendar integration is amazing, the sleep schedule suggestions and no caffeine/late meal notifications are quite useful. Might not be as much stats as Oura, but much more useful, applicable, hands on and easy to follow instructions. Haven’t used the meditations yet as I already have a different platform for that.

A pricey but wonderful and intuitive app

I have been using the free trial and wow, I can’t believe how detailed and informative this app is. I love data-driven health apps like this one. I really like the features that show you went to schedule certain activities based on your sleep debt and circadian rhythm. I have recommended the trial to my family and friends. Sadly at $120 a year its too pricey for me to continue using but hopefully one day I can return to it. Highly recommend if you can afford it

We understand that it can be difficult to make a commitment to using an app, especially when the trial period is limited. If you would like to take advantage of an extended trial period for you to decide whether you want to examine the app more. Please contact us at support@risescience.com and we will be more than happy to discuss your options.

Didn’t tell me when my free trial would end…

I was using the free trial of Rise to get an understanding of my sleep cycle, when all of a sudden I got a large charge on my bank account! I didn’t put 2 and 2 together, until I realized it’s because this app never said my free trial would end.
THIS is a problem for 2 reasons. The first is that the app promised it would tell me when my free trial was going to end, if I wanted to cancel it. That never happened! The second is that the 14-day free trial only offers the 1 year option to renew after the trial is up, which is SIXTY (60!) dollars!
I’m very unhappy. The app itself is good, it’s nothing outstanding though. It tells me to go to bed at 11pm-12am despite the fact I have to get up at 6am, which is a very bad amount of sleep time. The only thing it does well is predicting the morning productivity and afternoon dip. The afternoon productivity prediction is always wrong.

I’m not exactly sure if I’m able to get refunded over this, but I really want to. $60 is 5 hours worth of me working, and I don’t want to spend that on a mobile app!

I love this

I have been using this App for about 3 months now and I am really impressed with what it can teach you about sleep.
I didn’t think my sleep habits were bad as I have sleep apnea and have been sleeping what I thought was adequately since using a sleep apnea machine for the last 18 months .
I was recommended this app to try from a family member so gave the free trial a go.
It took me about 4 weeks but the feeling I get now from having a good nights sleep is absolutely amazing.
I am using an Apple Watch to monitor sleep coupled with this app and am following the recommendations from the app. It really has made a difference. Thank you.

Very accurate

I get notifications from my calendar and I get sent energy alerts like four times a day. At first I hated it, but now it’s nice knowing my pattern and gives me an explanation as to how I’m feeling throughout the day. All the ‘energy dips’ it sends me are spot on and same with the melatonin window!!

Alarm doesn’t go off

Be prepared to be late for work multiple times if you rely on this app! The amount of times this alarm has not gone off on my phone and I have been late to work/appointments is so poor. I am aware that you cannot close the app completely, otherwise that will mean the alarm will not go off the next morning, however even when the app is open overnight, I am finding your alarm is not going off. I paid $85 for a yearly subscription for this app and I am so unpleased…. Furthermore, it is very inaccurate with my sleep, often saying I am getting around two hours less sleep than what I actually am! Definitely needs improvements. I genuinely wish I did NOT spend money on this app.
