I would like to be able to track my sleep schedule without losing my streak every time I swap from day shift to night shift. ### 2/5 — Fun Game, Terrible Sleep Tracker *2026-08-20, version 3.7.0* I’ve been tracking my sleep for years, I have tracked my sleep with every app imaginable, an Apple Watch, Apple Health, an Oura Ring, you name it I’ve tried it. (Oura Ring is the top tier option in case you were wondering. Best. Purchase. Ever.). Pokemon sleep is very fun to play and I do still use it, but only to catch Pokemon with my friends. The actual sleep tracking function of this app sucks. It’s always telling me that I slept less than I actually did (which screws you for the game because you have to sleep to rest up your Pokemon) and it’s always telling me the app closed overnight and low key scolds me for it. Like excuse you, my app IS open and has been all night. YOUR tracking coding is the problem. At least the app is fully usable for free. That’s more than I can say for any other sleep tracking app I’ve tried. ### 3/5 — Pls fix bug!! *2026-08-15, version 3.7.0* So i i download pokemon sleep on my phone and ipad, And for some reason every time i try to read the terms of use or privacy policy it wont actually show me the terms of use/privacy policy cause it will be stuck loading. I left my phone on pokemon sleep for an hour it still wasnt loaded. please fix this as i rlly wanna play!! ### 3/5 — Cool App, Bad Design *2026-08-14, version 3.7.0* This app is really cool and I love Pokémon, but after doing one sleep session for four hours my phone became so hot that it actually woke me up because major heat was radiating off of it. I had to turn off my phone and let it cool down for 20 minutes and even then it was still too hot. I’m not sure why my iPhone didn’t auto shut off at that point, but I had to eventually set it in front of my air-conditioning unit just to cool it down a little more. Genuinely worried that my iPhone would break from how much heat was coming off of it. After about 30 minutes of cooling down my phone, I turned it back on, and I went back into the if there were any settings, I could change and unfortunately there are not but the drowsy score was really cool and I wish that I had a device that I could connect this to that wouldn’t overheat because this app is actually really cool. ### 3/5 — Pokemon made me late to work *2026-08-06, version 3.6.3* Don’t get me wrong I ADORE this game. It’s very cute and I like feeling like I’m getting little rewards for taking care of myself by sleeping well. But one morning the app decided to crash and did not set the alarm off for work😭 It was very upsetting and I will no longer be able to use the in app alarm. I wish it could be more reliable! ### 2/5 — I enjoyed it but… *2026-07-31, version 3.6.3* Ever since the dex got altered, I’m seeing a lot less pokémon I enjoy and tons more duplicates. Poke biscuits are not abundant enough. And subskill seeds are almost impossible to get as f2p And, we’re getting too many pokemon lately that are single stages and require 16 friendship points to recruit… Please add more pokémon with 5 friendship points. Until improvement, this is my review. ### 3/5 — Entretenido *2026-07-31, version 3.6.3* Le hace falta más creatividad y que tenga más libertad más paisaje y más variedades como juegos secundarios y así ### 5/5 — great app, have some suggestions *2026-07-31, version 3.6.3* Let me start off by saying that this app truly helped my sleep schedule, there were nights where i couldn’t sleep and I found that the music helped. Also for recommendations I think they should add a shiny incense that increases shiny odds for the night, the ability to trade pokemon with friends, and the ability to vote on what the next event should be. ### 4/5 — It’s cuter than it is functional *2026-07-31, version 3.6.3* Honestly, I just want the screen to turn off and for more calming “sleep sounds”. Everything except Campfire is too harsh to sleep to in some way or another. As an adult who shares a bed, sure, Apple watch support would be good… if I cared. But it records the hours and that’s adequate enough. If you want something accurate, use another app. ### 5/5 — A fun way to track sleep *2026-07-30, version 3.6.3* It’s both fun to play with I like collecting so it’s been great for that but also to track my sleep (as long as I don’t mess up the sleep tracker while I’m sleeping) it’s a great game even if you don’t have the sleep tracker thing it’s amazing and technically better to use the app cuz it tracks sleep and sounds made in sleep overall it’s a great experience I hope pokemon adds more to this place to make it more unique and fun I like the to journal my sleep sessions but it’s locked behind a paywall I hope maybe in a future update they just release that and put something else in it place or or who knows but I do like to journal as a dreamer my dreams ### 5/5 — Better than Pokémon unite *2026-07-30, version 3.6.3* Great game accurate sleep tracker Trading and battling would be fun even though it’s meant for sleep it would be cool if they added a battle in mode similar to brawl stars Got my favorite shiny! (Bonsly and sudowoodo) ### 5/5 — Pokesleep *2026-07-30, version 3.6.3* Very good app and game, free and paid. Different world of pokemon, calm and relax, take your time to enjoy Pokémon’s in a different vision, build up different teams for different goals, learn more about sleep ! As a nurse, it’s nice to combine thematic of sleep with a game, learned quick tips, improve your lifestyle as the same time, you cook recipes, than i try to to some at home after with kids and thematic Pokémon’s at home, very learning games, adults and kids, RECOMMEND 100% ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It almost killed me *2026-08-24, version 3.7.0* My brother found me 20 seconds from deth I had choked on snot apirntly apps like this distract your Brian from controlling you breathing dont use this app -100 stars if I could this app owes me somthing he gave me cpr that’s why I’m still alive ### 1/5 — Team Switching Error *2026-08-23, version 3.7.0* I am so tired of getting a confirmation message that I changed teams then coming back and seeing the team didn’t actually switch. Don’t give a confirmation message if it didn’t happen. When I swap a team, I should be able to close the app immediately afterward and not have to worry. ### 1/5 — 非常喜欢这个ip 但这个游戏很糟糕 *2026-08-18, version 3.7.0* 闪光系统充斥着不公平，我不理解为什么有人可以一周一次闪光，而我一个月都没有一个。这太糟糕了！🤮 ### 1/5 — Apple Watch face *2026-08-12, version 3.7.0* I had the app before on the previous iPhone and I just re-downloaded it then I see a ad on TikTok that Garmin Pokémon Sleep watch faces and my wife got me the Apple Watch Ultra for Christmas. Why is it that we don’t have this? This is an absolute must I need this on my watch ASAP. and only then will I give the five stars ### 1/5 — Can’t even play *2026-08-11, version 3.7.0* I’m stuck on the terms of use cause there making me read it but it won’t load I’ve been sitting here for 5 hours just trying to get into it.😑 ### 1/5 — Over-priced in-game purchases for a game that feels like it’s still in development. *2026-08-07, version 3.7.0* A great idea for a sleep tracker with incentives but it feels like naïve programmers using the Pokémon brand put a price on an unbalanced and illogical micro-economy within the game. . . As though developers are making quick money while long-term detracting from the brand. ### 1/5 — U need to fix this *2026-08-02, version 3.6.3* So i literally cant play the game and i know its not my wifi bc i just know and basically theres this weird bug where i click on terms of use and it just says loading forever so ya i cant play so u need to fix it ### 1/5 — Animations take too long *2026-07-23, version 3.6.1* I just use this app because the alarm is super effective (no pun intended) in being the most annoying alarm ever. Unfortunately it forces me to sit and watch every animation before bed. Let me skip all ### 1/5 — In terms of use and privacy would not load *2026-07-22, version 3.6.1* I’ve been trying to get into this game for two years and the terms of view and privacy will not load up. I’ve had max Internet and everything game will not work please fix. ### 1/5 — No new sleep data was found *2026-07-19, version 3.6.1* Screw you I guess, garbage app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helps with your sleep habits *2026-08-22, version 3.7.0* A good program that promotes good sleeping habits, it may not be accurate, but it gives players an idea of their sleeping habits. ### 5/5 — Need more goals to work towards *2026-08-22, version 3.7.0* Amazing managing game! The only thing I would add is more in game achievement ! And I would really like to see new weekly rewards in Expert mode! Why not use the new specific Main Skill Seeds as a reward depending on the island! I feel like it would be balance to have a random MSS per week. Last thing we need more control over the nature and sub skills of Pokémons. It sometime feels to much like a gacha game and too RNG based. Would be nice to introduce some some way to obtain control like slept time with a certain Pokémon or some sort of training! That way we could focus our energy and resources on our favorite Pokémon in our boxes. Thanks! And hope this gets read by Japan dev team 😍 ### 5/5 — Honest review *2026-08-20, version 3.7.0* This game is awesome entertaining and I look at stats and all of that and somehow my mom is doing better than me. This game is truly built for people who want to be the very best and people who don’t care and just wanna catch cool pokemon ### 5/5 — Actually helps with sleep *2026-08-18, version 3.7.0* I had super bad insomnia and was having a horrible time actually wanting to sleep but this helped so so much ### 5/5 — Yay *2026-08-09, version 3.7.0* Good yummy yummy yummy ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-07, version 3.7.0* I like it because it makes Pokémon sleepy ### 5/5 — The cutest sleep tracker- NEEDS a dark mode *2026-08-06, version 3.7.0* I’ve tracked my sleep with a variety of different apps, and this is the only one I’ve stuck with- it’s been about a year of consistent logging. Adorable, broadly self-paced, and low-stakes with no ads! It feels like a little treat to see what Pokemon show up for research and the shiny rate is way higher than any of the mainline Pokemon games. Runs nicely on iPhone 15 pro, the animations and Pokemon cries are perfect. Love the new Nap Island feature for making it easier to level helpers, too. Game NEEDS a dark mode or something. It would be cute if they changed throughout the day to match the game’s day/night cycle, but I would be totally satisfied with a toggle switch in the settings (Light/Dark/Match system). Minor issues- Some of the “sleep tips” are pretty vague or don’t cite a reputable source (‘some say’ or ‘it is thought’ don’t count!), and the app is not great for tracking naps (must sleep for at least 90 mins to count) and the way the days are broken up can cause problems when I fall asleep after midnight. ### 5/5 — GOAT *2026-08-03, version 3.6.3* This is one of the greatest Pokemon games I’ve ever played. I absolutely love everything about it. ### 5/5 — Tracking sleep *2026-08-01, version 3.6.3* I’ve had this for a month now. I’ve had nothing but issues with trying to track sleep. This week I’ve only had 2 days tracked on Pokemon Go. The Pokemon Go Plus +app lets about 90%of the Pokemon flee. I’m starting to feel it was a waste of $54.00. It jumps to the next Pokemon before the one it’s on is caught. Update I’ve had this for a few years now! It usually works great but since this recent update I can’t log in to the app! 😭 ### 5/5 — Sold *2026-07-31, version 3.6.3* Idk why but this game makes me just wanna sleep more --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
