The print is so tiny. You can’t even read it and I think it’s on, but it’s not and then I go to sleep only to wake up saying it didn’t record anything. I am going to look into other apps as I’m very disappointed I paid for this one. Thankfully it wasn't that expensive. I might even look into a refund if that window is still open but I'm not holding my breath. ### 2/5 — Idk what happened *2025-11-28* I’m usually curious of what I say or how I snore in my sleep, so I recorded from 2am - 7am and when I woke up, I paused it and tried to listen but I never let me ### 2/5 — Not reliable *2025-09-07* I used to use this and it was amazing and literally just records when there is a noise and then you used to get to be able to go through and listen. Nice and basic but just what I needed. No music or stuff like that. No one sending you an analysis which again is just what I wanted. Now it’s stopped working properly. Tried for a few days and wouldn’t record. Then 2 nights ago it recorded. Tonight it’s gone back to not recording. I hit the restore button last time when it worked so tried that again tonight and tested it again but nothing happening. Please can someone update it. I know you have a pro version but don’t want to pay for it as no idea whether it will be just as intermittent ### 2/5 — Warum? *2024-11-18* Warum gibt es seit langer langer Zeit kein Update mehr? Und viele Zahlen noch dafür..! ### 3/5 — Things to improve! *2024-09-23, version 8.4.6* This is very nice app but in my opinion there is a room for improvements.. The player is very basic and you are very limited to play your recorded sounds .. If you will decide to record constantly throughout the night then is really hard to play it.. The player need speed control (like on YouTube X2 speed) and quick skip forward like 10 seconds..I would do 5,10,15and 20 second skip forward.. Also o proper graphic sound graph which you can zoom in will be good too(so you can see sound peaks on the graph and just listen to them) I’ve noticed that the app is not recording everything and quieter sounds are not activating the app so the option is to record constantly… ### 2/5 — 😔 *2024-07-19* I put this on to record at 10 o’clock last night and turned it off at 6 o’clock in the morning. I went to check the recordings only to find it had recorded nothing! I had 0 recordings from the times between and I was very disappointed. I allowed the app to use everything including the microphone so at least I knew that wasn’t the issue. I would not recommend getting this app if you don’t want to be disappointed with the results. ### 2/5 — Very basic *2024-01-23, version 8.4.6* I have tried this app on 3 nights now. What I notice is 1. The layout is simple and pretty easy to figure out 2. The recordings seem to be accurate 3. The playback feature, whilst simple is tedious when there are over 200 recordings through the night of less than 6 seconds. (This may mean that I should turn the sensitivity down). 4. I can’t seem to save the file to one drive, it only recognises Dropbox which is annoying. 5.You can send the files to yourself via email but as far as I can work out it seems as though you can only send each 5-7 second recording. 6. When you do send it to your PC windows media player doesn’t recognise it. ### 1/5 — Chris S *2023-06-15, version 8.4.6* Great app and work’s just as it should but absolutely no customer support at all. ### 3/5 — It does what us sopposed to *2023-03-07* The inter face is confusing and hard to use plus you cant really tell where the recordings wre from ### 1/5 — Can only record for 2 hours *2022-12-12* Or pay $4.99/month for longer record times. Not sure why that’s not in the description! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2022-11-05, version 8.4.6* Paid for full version, it does not record all night and does not respond to settings Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2022-10-24* Have the paid Pro version and it worked fine for a year, now it won’t record anymore! The record setting won’t even set. First and last time I pay for an app. How do you contact this company? ### 1/5 — Sharing??? *2022-10-17, version 8.4.6* I needed for health reasons to send an important recording. Previously did this with ease but now recipients cannot simply just play it. They have to download the app and gave quick time. I have paid for full use of the app. I really need to send this very important audio. Not happy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-03, version 8.4.8* Only 2 hours isnt going to record much! ### 1/5 — 2 Stunden und leider voller Werbung *2026-03-30* Habe die App sofort wieder gelöscht, sie funktioniert nicht wie gewünscht, man kann es nicht mal eine Nacht testen, sondern nur 2 Stunden ab dann verlangt die App sofort das Abo. Danke nein!🥵 ### 1/5 — Upgraded version is a waste of money and time. I need a refund. *2026-01-05* Did not record through the night. Only recorded when I first turned it on and set the phone down. ### 1/5 — Horrible app, doesn’t work *2025-10-31, version 8.4.6* Doesn’t work! ### 1/5 — Don’t like *2025-10-11, version 8.4.6* It don’t record continuously… and I only had about 3min this morning ### 1/5 — Skips hours *2025-06-29, version 8.4.6* Skips hours of recording. Like jumps from 1am to 5am. Garbage app. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2025-03-19* Tried for 4 nights and it didn't record even a cough. On the last night, when it finished 2 hours, a loud ad blared and work me up. I know free versions meedads but maybe not audio ones for an ad designed to be used when sleeping? ### 1/5 — HUGE SCAM *2024-10-28, version 8.4.6* PAYED £5 GOT SCAMMED FOR £10 ### 1/5 — Not so good *2024-09-07* Pretty rubbish tbh. Over 1000 recordings a night because all it picks up is my fan, even though it’s no where near & the app is on super low. Waste of £5 to be completely honest ### 1/5 — Charges *2023-12-28, version 8.4.6* Don’t bother they wanna charge you to be able to hear anything. There are others out there that let you do that for free ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Update needed *2026-05-13* I love the app and its clarity! The only downside is that it disables the “hey Siri” feature when the app is recording. ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-04-15* I really like this app it helps me see how bad I breathe at night. Thank you so very much. ### 5/5 — Best ever! *2025-05-14* Excellent way to find out how you sleep! ### 5/5 — This app rocks! *2024-04-02* I love using this app to record the funny things that I say when I talk in my sleep. I have shared so many hilarious soundbites from my sleep. Talk with my family and friends who always get a kick out of finding out what it is I’m saying in my sleep. ### 5/5 — Used this for years *2023-08-10* I’ve used this app for years basically an OG user and I’ve never had any issues with it. I use it to track sleep pattern and snoring as I have a condition that I need to monitor and this has been my go to app, haven’t looked at any other apps for recording sleep as this one works perfect for me and what I use it for. It picks up noise / snoring / whatever else you do whilst sleeping but the main thing that I love about this app is that it updates any bugs and fixes them super quick, regular updates to improve the app. I’ve tried one other app before and it peed me off because it didn’t stop recording the entire night so I had to skip through a lot of just quiet periods trying to monitor anything during my sleep, this app literally stops and starts recording when there’s actual sounds happening. Great app, like I said, used this for years and will continue to use it until I don’t need to monitor sleep anymore 🩷 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-08-09, version 8.4.6* Great app ### 5/5 — El dormir *2022-11-22, version 8.4.6* Es una excelente opción para que duermas tranquilo y si pasa algo sobrenatural se grabará y solo así te sentirás más seguro….;) ### 5/5 — Excellent tool to also check if you snore *2022-02-22, version 8.4.3* Good if you have been told you may have sleep apnea. Thank you ### 5/5 — There is no world tab anymore *2022-01-31* Really like this app but for about a year now I don’t know whether the world tab has gone to listen to other peoples recordings also there is no option to upload to the world ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-01-14, version 8.4.3* Nice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
