SOO COOL
This is such a cool app. I didn’t realize how much I actually talk in my sleep. Recommend to anyone who wants to know what’s going on at night. Try the free version and then if you like it, the full version is sooo worth it.
randomly erases saved recordings
Had some funny recordings saved in the app, some of them were there for years, then one day they’re all just gone. What’s the point of a recorder that can’t be trusted to save a recording?
Also, the app always cuts of the first couple seconds of any speech or sound, and the last few seconds. So if someone sleeptalking says “I wanna go to the grocery store” you might get “-go to the grocery-“. It’s very obviously always cut off. They should do the opposite and actually put a buffer of a couple seconds before and after each recognized sound. Better to have a couple seconds of silence than to always miss part of every recording.

Your recordings are only stored local meaning on your phone. Maybe you have an iCloud back-up that includes Sleep Talk Recorder. Please get in contact feedback@sleeptalkrecorder.com and we will try to guide you.
has some cons
just last night i started a recording and this morning i pressed deactivate, and usually after u do that you’ll be able to go into the history and see the new recording it there was absolutely nothing there. i’m very upset
sometimes picks up on background noise that is on going. for example, my A/C wall unit makes a semi loud noise so there will be a pick-up for 1-2 hours. this is even after i change sensitivity
it does pick up whenever i start talking tho and super cool. u only have to pay the $5 once and in my opinion, it was worth it.
another con would be when i have to restore my phone or switch phones, there’s no way to retrieve old recordings. they just get lost somewhere out there. hopefully there will be an update where u can sign in with an email or maybe u sign in with the itunes account that holds the recordings. that would be such a great improvement.

Hello, maybe the case is that you have been all quiet. Sounds like you know how to adjust sensitivity in settings. Your recordings are only stored locally meaning on your phone. To transfer over your old recordings when switching phones you have to restore from an iCloud backup that includes Sleep Talk Recorder. We can guide you if you get in contact at feedback@sleeptalkrecorder.com
Insightful
I’ve used this app off and on for over 3 years and have realized that I talk more in my sleep when I’m stressed, and it’s interesting to be able to hear how that manifests itself when I’m sleep talking. The app works well. My suggestions would be to add a description under the icons like “history” or “recordings”, and perhaps the ability to pause the recording when I get up in the middle of the night rather than deactivating and then creating a new event.

Happy to hear you like the app! Thanks for ideas regarding improvement, we will add that to the list for future development.
But there is a but
I used this app alot when I lived in Norway. There was minimal/rare to no noise outside or in the building that this app recorded. Even then it recorded alot of tossing and turning. So obviously had to turn down the sensitivity. I do however sometimes wake myself up when I'm talking. So pretty dissapointed that it then did'nt record that (since it was on low)
Now that I live in england, next to a road, next to a railway station. It is rare it actually records my sleeptalk, my partner says I talk alot but the only thing it records is nois from whatever going on outside.
I hope it someday can detect what is voice and what is human noise (clapping, finger snapping etc) vs duvet, train, car.

Impossible to listen to recordings.
I have set the sensitivity to the lowest possible and the recordings are still just sounds of my breathing and air conditioning, making the clips up to 9 hours long. Also, I can’t fast forward (I know there’s a speed up option, but I’m not gonna wait 9 hours to get the actual talking). If you could add a way for me to scrub my way through the recordings so I could find actual talking that would make this a 4 star review.

Works well but...
The app works fine but I’m confused at how the submissions are done. I see that people’s clips are on a certain page but are curious as to how they get there. Are you guys just uploading people’s favorites without permission or are they themselves uploading to that page?
Great app!
Awesome app hilarious hearing what the missus says in her sleep. Lol
I don’t know why but, this happened
I downloaded the app because people have said I sleep talk, I was gonna use the app before I went to bed but I decided not to due to the fact I had my brothers hamster in my room (she is very noisy) so I exited out and of the app and when I woke up I realized that there was a from the app but it was frozen on a lot of the apps I use (it was just sitting there not doing anything in the background) I tried to delete the app but that didn’t work. I’m still gonna rate 3 stars because the app was great until this part.

Works fine!
This app has done exactly what I have expected it to and I have not had any problems. I don’t know what went on for the other people who gave it 1 star reviews- maybe they don’t talk in their sleep?
