Did first recording but it only ran 3 hrs. Features are straight forward and basic. I’m not sure what other features you would need at this point. I will come back and update this after using for a period of time. I am having difficulty reading / seeing the icons and text. This interface has to be using a font size less than 1 or 0.5. Incredibly small fonts. They are out of place compared to the control buttons. I cannot even read the text for the icons on the side of the main recording / activation screen. I would rate a full 5 stars because if I could read the screens easily / clearly. ### 3/5 — Why ads in “Pro” version? *2020-05-04* I specifically sought out an ad free product and paid for it but there are still ads. Disappointed already and haven’t even tried making a recording yet. ### 3/5 — Paid Pro Version has ADs. *2020-05-04, version 8.4.1* I upgraded to the pro version and got ADs! The paid normal version does not. As well, there does not appear to be much difference between the two. Remove the Ads or I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Rubbish app *2019-11-02, version 7.0* Doesn’t even work ### 1/5 — Bummed *2019-10-23, version 7.0* Initially was stoked with this app. It always recorded for however many hours it was set for. But now with the new updates on the phone it immediately crashes. I have no saved nights recordings. Very frustrating after having it be so reliable. ### 1/5 — In the toilet *2019-10-17, version 7.0* One of the many downsides of IOS updates is many of our apps stop working. This is now one. I’ve used this app for years, and alas, now it’s dead. I seriously hope this company fixes this issue. Once you hit record and turn your screen off, the app crashes. ### 4/5 — Bitte ein neues Update! *2019-10-12* Leider deaktiviert sich die App sofort, nachdem beispielsweise das iPhone entweder gesperrt wurde oder mittels der Home-Taste die App kurz verlassen wird. Das ist seit dem neuen iOS-Update so. Wär cool, wenn das mal behoben würde. Man kann ja auch nicht ohne automatische Bildschirmsperre die ganze Nacht das Handy so liegen lassen. Ansonsten ist das eine tolle App! Ist in der Handhabung sehr einfach und gut strukturiert. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t save recording *2019-10-10, version 7.0* Iv paid for the pro and I am very disappointed as it records but doesn’t save recordings, I had the free one which worked fine updated and now doesn’t save recording and just stops at any time. Please refund me £2.99 ### 1/5 — Ksa *2019-09-29, version 7.0* Does not record in background with update 13 ### 1/5 — Not good *2019-07-14, version 7.0* This app likes to randomly shut off. so not happy after paying for this 🤬 ### 4/5 — Please upgrade the app *2019-06-09, version 7.0* It was very good app but now very slow opening in my iPhone 6 Plus. Anyway thank you mr developer. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Sharing doesn’t work *2025-05-12* Tried to share a file and the website just continually said server not responding. Paid money for the pro version so I’m very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-27, version 8.4.4* I have just paid for the pro version. It won’t even open on my iPhone . Not happy ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-12-07* I purchased the pro but every time I click start, it says failed to record. So frustrating ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time or money *2021-11-24* A friend recommended this app to record my dreams but it’s garbage! The sound detection doesn’t work. It cuts the audio when I’m half way telling my dreams. I thought recording the whole night would be a solution as the app shows the amount of noise when you are recording with sound detection on. To my surprise when the seletion of recording the full night is on there isn’t any info about high or low noise. So I can’t tell when I spoke during the night. I waited 4.99 with this useless app. ### 1/5 — Trotz gekaufter App MIT Werbung ! *2021-01-11* Wenn ich für eine App Geld bezahle und die Vollversion kaufe erwarte ich das sie werbefrei ist. Hier ist trotzdem nervige Werbung. Das ist unseriös. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-11-11* Paid for this app and it has not been updated in 9 months. No longer working with the new IOS. Will not request microphone access. Please fix! ### 1/5 — Dream Pro und Werbung Super *2020-10-29* Dream Pro Installiert und es läuft Werbebahner!! Super Entwickler Pro ist wohl nicht Pro.. fessionel. Dreck gleich gelöscht! ### 1/5 — Update no go *2020-01-21* Updated few days ago. Still useless. Crashes out when opened and shuts down. ### 1/5 — Bug error *2019-12-30* Recently there has been an error and that every time you try to record your phone locks and then it will stop recording, checked to see if any updates were needed but there were none. This pro app is rubbish since there is no way to recording and/or while your phone is locked. ### 1/5 — What a load of rubbish! *2019-11-12* I used this app a few years back with no problems, it was a great. Now Ive wanted to use it again it doesn’t work! If you hold it and set to record immediately and make some noise and stop it then look at history there is a recording but I have it set to start recording after 40 minutes to give me chance to drop off (without it recording me shuffling around getting comfortable) & have it set to stop recording after 7 hours. If you lock your phone it stops it so I leave it open on the app and when I check it in the morning there is absolutely nothing recorded!!! It says ther may not be a recording because you’ve had a great sleep etc that’s rubbish because I know I’ve woke up twice in the night and made a noise/got in and out of bed and it’s not even picked that up. So right now how it is currently it’s a waste of money so I would avoid u less they can fix the issues! I’d like my money back if I’m honest! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Efficient *2022-09-21* It records exactly when you start talking. Records are regrouped by night and you keep which ones are interesting (It detects more than your voice). Sensitivity adjusting is useful. ### 5/5 — This App Helped Me Get Into A Sleep Study *2022-07-06* After years of insomnia, sleeping poorly, and having my partner tell my docs I sounded like I was sawing logs all night, I still couldn't get any doc or specialist to order a sleep study for me. Why? Because I was told athletic women in their 20s/30s/40s didn't fit the (mostly male) requirements for sleep obstructions. That is, I wasn't overweight, didn't have a big neck (?!), and was otherwise healthy on the outside. This app changed several doctors' minds about my alarming sleep sounds, and finally got me in for two overnight sleep studies. Granted, the first time I asked if they would listen to one part of the app recording, my doc was sceptical. Undeterred, I played a section that the app highlighted as particularly bad. And my doc was astonished. After 10 years of being ignored by every doc I saw, this app helped me get a diagnosis of complex sleep apnea. Basically, my brain just stops breathing in the middle of my sleep cycle. I now have a V-PAP machine to keep me breathing, and I am getting about 4-5 hours of sleep a night. It may not sound like much, but it was more than I had been getting for years. Thanks so much for making this app so easy to use and easy to identify the worst sleep moments. I recommend it to anyone who has fatigue and sleep issues. Use this app to advocate for your sleep health. Sometimes, doctors need to listen to the real deal. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2021-11-16* This app is what I needed because of the stupid free version; it couldn’t even record a single sound I made while I was asleep; it didn’t record much either; just the first two hours of my sleep.; Now I can record for longer with no time limit; and find out if I sleep walk Sleeptalk or snore in my sleep; because my family says that I sleep and snore; now I’m going to find out if I snore for real; you can also pick up spooky noises like children giggling when there’s literally no one inside the room but you sleeping in your snuggly bed; I set the timer for seven hours and 45 minutes; and it was perfect and it didn’t tell me about the limitation for a time; and this was only four dollars; I funded my account and now I have $21 but that’s perfectly fine because this app works perfectly; And I can also record the activity of my family getting ready for work; now I’m going to hear my grandmother getting ready for work at 4:10 AM when I play the recording; thanks for the pro version ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App !!! *2021-01-30* Nach dem Update ist wieder ALLES GUT !!! ### 5/5 — Very impressed! *2020-09-11* I am very impressed with this app! Make sure you adjust your sensitivity level for your environment. I have a fan on in my room, so I have to do the lowest sensitivity. Audio is good quality, and the ability to hear yourself talking, etc. is fascinating. Worth buying the app for $4. ### 5/5 — Almost perfect *2020-07-27, version 8.4.1* Using it every day now.....I wish it had a transcriber function...how about it guys? ### 5/5 — Always works *2020-01-26* Has always worked for me for years. Not sure why people are complaining ### 5/5 — Dream Pro *2019-02-22* This is an awesome app that I love! It records my sleep talk like it says, most of the other sleep recorders are basically a whole night recording, I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know if they sleep talk or snore. :) ### 5/5 — Dream pro *2018-10-25* Great app !! But I need to know how to save a whole nights recording, not just a snippet . ### 5/5 — Zweckentfremdet für Hund *2018-01-19* Nach langer Suche, nach einer App, die lediglich Tonaufnahmen in den richtigen Momenten macht. Perfekt um zu kontrollieren, ob der Hund sich ruhig verhält während er alleine ist. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
