How did DreamMapper make it to the App Store
I rated it a 1 only because I could not rate it with negative numbers. If you don’t mind umpteen attempts to register plus attempts at signing up to share data, you may be happy. As I remember from my wife’s attempts to use the app, A Lot of Effort for disappointment with the results.
Main Gripes:
1. Unlike other apps, this doesn’t offer auto fill
2. It doesn’t offer suggestions for fill, e.g., name (first/last), email/snail mail addresses, etc.
3. it doesn’t allow the user to go back a window or re-enter a page if an errant move of a finger causes the window disappear or time out.
4. It took me about 12 tries of re-entering data from the first field and screen to the last. The process started over From Block 1 each time. I’m smarter than the average bear but these 79 old arthritic legs, feet and hands are no match for an app that requires retrieval of data from places far away or nearby on another device. Pause = restart the process from block 1.
5. Their request to share data remains incomplete and will so unless the disappearing screen behaves like iPhone apps should, swipe the bottom of the screen to the right and your previous screens fall into view. I did this earlier today to create new contact from a screen view that didn’t allow creation of a new contact.

I’m new to CPap & appreciate the Phillips App
Thankyou for the video helps
I’m in my first 30 days of using a CPap machine. I’ve tried several masks and am choosing the Dreamwear Nasal mask.
My Dr’s staff was helpful in fitting me with a medium headgear and large nasal pillow. I would have given up on that mask without their intervention. The medium nasal mask covered only 2/3rds of my nostrils - compared to the large.
I appreciate your online short instructional videos.
I’m considering purchasing a CPap sanitizer - but realized that I’ve not been taking all the pieces apart as I wash & air dry the head gear
Or that you recommend top rack of the dishwasher for regular washing and air drying.
Thankyou for the info. I’ve been suffering this week with an upper respiratory issue and fever & it started after a night - that water droplets were blowing out the nasal valve on each breath - when I put my mask on.
I thought it wouldn’t matter - after a few times inhaling and exhaling - it seemed to stop. However, the next morning I woke up congested snd the next day developed a fever.
It could be coincidental, but I am also going to put your video training techniques into daily practice.
Overall, The sleep therapy has been appreciated - by my husband - I sleep very quietly now. And I am generally refreshed.

Difficult account creation
Tried creating an account on this App with my name, email, phone number and my Dreamstation SN... but it just errors. All the info. is correct, I know my own personal info and the SN that starts with J is pretty straight forward. So what’s up with that DM creators?
Buggy - what a mess
This is a disaster. Hardly works at all. You can try it, if you can get through the sign-up process. Then get ready! You can tell it wasn't created with users in mind. I do think Phillips put a lot of effort in to this - I imagine they had meetings, "so, are we sure we've made this as bad as possible? Have we dug deep to include everything we can think of to make this software buggy and difficult to use? Also, have we made sure we get plenty of unnecessary private information? Let's assure hackers can get full information on patient health - name, phone number, email address - and tie it to data about users' heart health and sleep patterns. We could even sell that information to health insurers! And to companies selling snore remedies! And our marketing team wants to send every cpap user daily marketing emails and texts. Ok, before we end this meeting, everyone's homework for our next meeting is to email me 1 good idea for making this app difficult for users, helpful for insurers, or profitable for Phillips."

Great help
With the help of the lung function team we can manage our daughter when she is well and give more assistance adjusted to suit her condition. The information the app gives is also a great help and is an extra string to our bow to keep her healthy
Built-in data mining, app requires online account for everything
Why exactly do I have to create an online account for an app where its only task is to receive and display data from a CPAP machine that’s less than two feet away and connected to the phone via Bluetooth??? I could understand if the online account was optional but it isn’t, without account the app does nothing. This is silly. I don’t want to provide Philips or any other third party with my health data, period.

App needs to enter 2019
The app functions well but it misses a lot of things especially where it integrates and the old fashioned UX interface . It should be able to talk to the health app and other often used apps like fitness pal and Fitbit. Then you can combine these data points and get more insights. The settings of the machine could be shown in the app and preferably be manipulated from the app. Come on guys, it’s an expensive excellent machine. Give us an app that is worthy of the machine.

Doesn’t work with dreamstation go
The app doesn’t let me register my dreamstation go. I bought this CPAP hearing tons of reviews about how amazing the app is and I can’t get past the registration because it doesn’t recognize my serial number. So disappointed.
Excellent
I or anyone would be curious to see how many hours they sleep. I find this ap well and truly doing exactly what I need. It makes you feel great for the day knowing you have had certain amounts of sleep and explains why if you haven’t, without having to bother the sleep clinic every couple of months to see how your tracking. Excellent Ap 😊 happy Jenny

Great for monitoring my progress
Dream mapper software has helped me to understand my sleep behaviour and provide feedback that I can then review with how my health has been responding to treatment. I love monitoring my sleep patterns on my iPad. It often tells my why I feel the way I do.
