### 1/5 — Immediate paywall

*2026-08-24, version 6.5.1*

app not usable

### 1/5 — Not actually free

*2026-08-23, version 6.5.1*

Not actually free; paywalled behind a subscription

### 5/5 — Personalized pattern tracking

*2026-08-23, version 6.5.1*

I like how this app tracks the sleep patterns with the entries that you add to detect what daily activities impact sleep quality.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t make it past the subscription

*2026-08-22, version 6.5.1*

I went to go get the app I did the tutorial and then it showed the subscription and I thought maybe there was a skip button but no it’s been a week now and I still can’t use it would not recommend

### 1/5 — Bug?

*2026-08-21, version 6.5.1*

No way to get past premium trial screen on iPhone 17 pro max

### 5/5 — Sleep Tracking Importance

*2026-08-21, version 6.5.1*

With the Pillow app I can now track an important measure of my overall health status.

### 5/5 — 100% Garantizada

*2026-08-20, version 6.5.1*

*****

### 2/5 — Misleading

*2026-08-20, version 6.5.1*

They don’t tell you first that for using free basic version you have to enroll in the full version first, then cancel it to be able to use the free one.

### 5/5 — Tracking

*2026-08-20, version 6.5.1*

I am giving a 5 because I do love this app. It helps see how much rem and deep sleep I am getting if any. 
The past couple weeks the app is not tracking my sleep. I have used the help AI and done everything they said to do on my phone and my watch.  Now I am upset cause I am paying for something that isn’t doing anything.

### 1/5 — Just want your money

*2026-08-19, version 6.5.1*

I was an early adopter of this app when it was launched years ago. It was great and I paid for it one time when they had no time limit.  Then they changed it to annual subscription and k deleted the app - there’s no such thing as loyalty in the app business it seems
