### 4/5 — Great for what it is

*2023-11-07*

Title says it. I enjoy being able to see the sleep trends by themselves. However I also have the baby feed timer from the same creators and wish the sleep button was easier access on the other app. If it was, this app would not be on my phone.

### 4/5 — Potential

*2019-01-19*

I use the nursing app and it’s AMAZING. It has so much potential. It’s just not as easy to use when I am putting my baby down. Bathe start stop function is awesome as it’s big, but I cannot use it with my watch and with my other kids I often forget to turn it off so it doesn’t log it perfectly. I use the nursing app for naps as well but love the specificity this offers. I just haven’t found a great way to use them both conveniently. So I cannot decide. But I am trying to transition over to this one because I think it tracks better. I need to log this babies sleep because he needs more help to sleep and will wake easily. So he is often tired. He definitely needs sleep training. My other babies just slept-so I knew they were getting the necessary sleep.

### 4/5 — Decent app

*2018-05-22*

I like the app. Should be free though for what you get. I originally paid for it because i liked the night clip option that it has but quickly figured out that if you play music or white noise or anything while Baby sleeps it doesn’t work. It basically said my baby was up all night. Which wasn’t true at all. The charts are also a little hard to read. Other than that it’s fine.

### 4/5 — Better notifications needed

*2017-11-27, version 3.1.1*

Really useful app but after using your baby feed timer app, this one is a downgrade. It needs notifications on the icon to show that the app is timing. It’s a useful prompt without opening the app to know whether or not it’s on. The feed app does this and found it useful.

### 4/5 — One change

*2017-11-14*

I really wish this app was better incorporated into the other app that monitors eating/diapers/everything else. It would be awesome if it analyzed the data all in 1 spot and I would use it much more if it did.

### 5/5 — Must have for tired parents

*2017-11-11, version 3.1.1*

Been using this for three years, does all the thinking for me.

### 3/5 — Either I'm using it wrong or it needs work

*2017-02-11, version 3.1*

I was excited about this app due to the excellence of their 'Baby Feed Timer' app which I consider absolutely essential, however it has not lived up to expectations.  

Firstly, it doesn't distinguish between daytime and nighttime naps, according to the analysis on my app - they are all nighttime naps and when I change the day settings, they all become daytime naps.

Secondly, the nighttime mode is way, *way* too sensitive to noise regardless of microphone settings and has consistently recorded my child as being awake all night long despite my phone being *at least* a metre away from my baby's crib.

Thirdly, there is no option for this app to sync with the Feed Timer app which you would think is a no-brainer. Instead I'm having to enter everything twice in order to try and find a feed/sleep pattern. Very frustrating.

In its current state, it functions well as a sleep tracker, however I could have just used the Feed Timer app to record that basic info so currently feel as though I've wasted my money 🙁

### 5/5 — Fix the change start time feature please :)

*2016-12-01*

I love this app. Thank you for fixing issue with earlier version (one baby ago!) dealing with the start time edit. With multiple kids and attempting to get little one onto a schedule, I can easily track how often he naps, making it so much easier.

### 4/5 — Can we make it for two kids?

*2016-06-18*

Have used this and the feeding apps for my first child and now using it for the second. Love that the sleep log is able to be separate from the feeding but would like it to be able to sync as the weaning one does...
Also would be great to be able to set up more then one child as per the feeding app. 
Love that you can email logs to yourself - have used the feeding log in conjunction with lactation consultant and it was incredibly useful!

### 5/5 — Best one I've tried

*2016-06-16, version 3.1*

We've used this app for over a year now and love it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2016-02-19*

Baby waking frequently through night, and cat napping through day-made it very hard to keep track of how much sleep-now I can see, and plan my day thanks to this app.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2015-12-27, version 3.1*

Great app, really useful, as with some of the previous reviews I got this app after being so pleased with the baby feed app. Two things would make this app 5 star...being able to sync with other devices (as you can with the baby feed app) and being able to sync with the baby feed app...its pretty annoying to have to keep switching between the 2 and entering data on both!!

### 5/5 — Really good

*2015-11-19, version 3.1*

Simple but dead useful. I just wish the devs would incorporate this app's functionality into their (equally great) Feed Timer app so I wouldn't have to keep switching apps all the time!

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2015-10-16, version 3.1*

I downloaded a few other similar apps and found them difficult to use and wouldn't allow me to input data when I wanted. This app is simple and strightforward. Just what I needed to track my baby's sleep patterns.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2017-02-09*

This app hasn't been updated in years and doesn't have basic functionality like being able to sync across phones. My wife and I can't use it for that reason- even though it is advertised in the Baby Feed Timer app, which we love. I initially wanted to like this app since it is the only one I found that tracks day and night sleep differently, but cannot recommend it.

### 1/5 — Very useful

*2013-01-04, version 1.2.0*

I decided to download due to the reasonable price. However the analyze graph is messed up and needs fixing.

### 2/5 — Needs Update

*2015-09-07, version 3.1*

I paid good money for this app. Why is it still on the old screen resolution? Seriously unprofessional.

### 2/5 — Just ok

*2014-10-18*

Love their breastfeeding app. A few things: the averages that the app calculates are wrong. I am a math professor so I am pretty sure I can calc an average... This app cal's them wrong. Also, when you are using this app at night I wish there was a "night skin" or whatever you might call it so the screen isn't so bright. I have my brightness on the lowest setting and it's super bright bc it's all white. Maybe make a grey background.

### 2/5 — I want my money back

*2013-07-04, version 1.3.1*

Good concept but huge flaws that prevent me from even using this app. 

The first day and a half of logging was great. I'm a visual person so I bought it for the chart feature. When I got over 24 hours in, the chart started to read the previous day as my baby having slept for the full 24 hours, even though the logs are correct. 

On addition, when I go to add new logs, it takes me three times of entering the info correctly for it to actually show up under logs without just disappearing. 

Huge glitches that prevent this app from having any purpose for me. I rarely buy paid apps and this is why. It was a huge disappointment.

### 3/5 — Good but could be great

*2021-02-16, version 3.1.2*

Would be terrific if it could integrate with the feed timer to give a full picture of baby routine.

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2020-05-13*

I wish that the Baby Sleep Timer would talk to the Baby Feeding app so that you can see at a glance all of the information together. 
I also wish that the Baby Sleep Timer had more intuitive tracking. Having a place to put in when you put your baby down compared to when they actually fell asleep and even standard check boxes for what you did to put them down so that you can go back and see what was working and what wasn’t. In general more statistics and information input would be nice. 
The night tracking is alright once you get it calibrated, but in the morning when you need to use your phone and don’t want the record option, switching to daytime is the only option to turn it off and that starts a new timer.
Annoyed that I paid for both apps and it seems like they are both lacking for how much they cost.

### 3/5 — No Sync with Other App?

*2019-04-08, version 3.1.2*

Why oh why can’t this app be synced either with the breastfeeding app or with my account like in the breastfeeding app? Never bother with the night time mode. However, I use this damn app every single moment of the day. As a stand alone it does a good job.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-06-10, version 3.1.2*

Ok app but doesn’t give you reminders like the feeding app. The functionality could be in the feeding app.

### 3/5 — Good app overall

*2017-08-18*

I've been using the baby feed timer since my five month old was born, and just started using this a week or so ago when we started having sleep regression. It's helpful to have all the information, but there are a couple shortcomings. It would be nice if this and the feed timer could be all in one, instead of having to flip flop between the two to determine feeding and sleeping scheduling. It also would be nice if you could log in to your account from another device like you can with the feed timer, as I use an iPad in the nursery that would be helpful for the night tracking. Overall it's a great app to have if you like to keep track of baby's sleeping info.

### 5/5 — Best sleep log I’ve found

*2025-05-12*

I’ve been using this for years to log my own unusual sleep pattern. It never crashes, loses data or glitches in any way. Day after day, year after year it just works. 
Recommended.

### 5/5 — Calculations are off

*2022-06-12, version 3.1.2*

Please check your app. It calculates wrongly.

### 5/5 — Sleep timer

*2022-01-30, version 3.1.2*

This sleep timer app is the best app I can get  and it is helpful and I will use always use this app when my doll called Sophie take a nap if I am at home only but my doll called Sophie likes  this app it helps me to keep track of my doll and how much she sleeps for when she has a nap and I like the app but there is one thing  That Is a bit different about this app you have to use your  iPhone for something I think it for the Microphone  but I don’t have my iPhone with me down stairs today  so
I can’t use it today so that is the only issue but I still use this app.  Every day.

### 5/5 — Sleep app

*2021-02-10, version 3.1.2*

Great for remembering what time they woke/wake windows

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2020-04-04, version 3.1.2*

Extremely helpful!!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2018-11-27*

It’s easy to use and helps me keep track of how long it’s actually been since my baby last slept. I like the large buttons.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2018-06-10*

I never pay for apps, but I broke that rule for this app and their companion feed timer. 
Both are totally worth it. This one gives you a really analytical way to track and steer sleeping habits. Now my little one is napping on a much more regular basis. It helps a lot at night, too. If this app had relaxing sounds it would be the full sleep set lol.

### 5/5 — Perfect app

*2018-05-29*

I’ve been looking for an app like this. It’s perfect to track my babies sleep. So simple and easy. My only wish is that you could easily continue a sleep if stopping it.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2018-01-25, version 3.1.2*

I love this app! I only use it to track my little one’s sleep but I thinks it’s great! The charts it generates are excellent!

### 5/5 — Great for when you can’t remember things!

*2017-11-19*

This is a great app for when you’re just too tired to remember when the baby last slept. I wish it had a more predictive component to it and could alert you that you’re baby may be ready for a nap based on sleeping trends or whatever. Or maybe told you what time they average go to bed based on your data input, but as it is now, it’s still fully helpful and I’m really happy with its usefulness.
