The voice part of the program is glitchy, often saying half a sentence then responding to something I didn’t say. Otherwise, a very effective program. ### 2/5 — Pretty terrible *2026-05-23* This is possibly the worst AI I have ever used, and I gave it a fair shot. I tried to stick with it and made it 3 months but this App just isn’t good. The “AI” constantly repeats itself, starts over half way through your conversation and forgets important details every single day. All the app really does is tell you what you already know and restrict your sleep. You don’t need to pay money for that. **Developer response:** Thank you for the honest feedback and for giving the program a fair try. We’re really sorry to hear the AI experience felt repetitive and inconsistent for you. We’ll be investigating the issues you mentioned, especially around memory, repeated responses, and conversations restarting unexpectedly. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. ### 5/5 — If you work it, it works for you! *2026-05-09* My sleep has been horrible for the last two years. I attributed it to getting older and the status of the world today, but I still remembered sleeping well for most of my life. My physician recommended I try CBT – I and I got a book she recommended. I really wasn’t able to follow the techniques in the book so I disregarded the recommendation. One day an ad showed up on my Instagram for the REST app. I looked into it and thought it sounded pretty good, but I was a little skeptical because it used AI. After looking through it and seeing that the introductory price was very reasonable. I thought I’d give it a try. Over the last year and a half. I’ve spent a lot of money on various sleep aids and programs and vitamins that said they would help with sleep. As I read about REST I decided that if I was going to try it, I was going to do it exactly like they recommended. I was impressed from the start that my AI lady made recommendations that were exactly what I needed. I read the articles that were presented and I decided to do everything that was recommended for me. I was given a wake-up time and a go to sleep time. It was hard. But I started seeing some improvement within a few days. After two months, I have gone from 3-4 hrs a night to over 6 hours! Sometimes I still have a bad night but more and more often my nights are really good! I’ve learned techniques I will continue to employ to quiet the noise in my head and stop the worrying that was keeping me awake. Thank you REST! ### 4/5 — Support *2026-04-14* Great support system. Thank you ### 5/5 — Sleeping down under *2026-03-31* Overall very impressed with REST. Am on day 72. Retraining the brain takes time but is the right strategy for me after trying so many other remedies. The only things I would suggest are to give the Celsius option for optimum room temperature …18 to 20 degrees… as much of the world uses this standard, and, to give the option of different coach accents eg Australian because the American accent, believe it or not, is off putting for many people. ### 5/5 — LIFE CHANGING! *2026-03-22* Rest has helped me achieve sound sleep after a lifetime of sleeping poorly. It has changed my life. It feels amazing to fall asleep quickly and then wake up and realize you slept all night. No tossing or turning. No waking up at night. The difference in how I feel during the day, now that I'm able to sleep throughout the night is significant. I'm clear headed and energetic. I'm not tired at the end of the work day. While it feels amazing to get one night of good sleep, sleeping well consistently every night is something I've never experienced before following the Rest program. I feel so different. Lighter. More capable. Life feels easier. I've gained a solid two hours a day to my life. I used to go to bed early and stay in bed longer because I was so tired. Currently I'm in bed for 7.25 hours a night-I'm still working the program to find a final sleep time. Can you imagine having two extra hours a day to do what ever you want? That coupled with how much better I feel. You can see why I say it's been truly life changing. This program is like nothing else I have tried before to improve my sleep. I could not have accomplished the change in my sleep habits without the daily support of the Rest app. The Rest program is not an instant solution to good sleep. But you'll start seeing results fairly quickly and it is the most effective solution to improving your sleep with what seems like permanent results. Sleeping well trumps all other healthy habits in achieving health, vitality and longevity. By improving my sleep, I'm laying the foundation for all of my other healthy habits to be effective. It's also easier to eat well and exercise when I'm well rested. ### 4/5 — Effective program, buggy app *2026-03-08* I’m surprised and delighted by how much this program is helping me sleep better. The app is quite buggy, about a third of the time requires restart to load. Sometimes the voice AI is not audible. The wind down checklist must be done in one go, it doesn’t save if you do part of it then return. ### 3/5 — Decent app with some very annoying features *2026-02-16* Decent app, pretty pricey, guides you through CBTI concepts. Doesn’t let you proceed to the next concept if you aren’t perfect at the previous one yet. Also really hard to change the ideal wake time so make sure you’re in your most usual routine when you start doing this. Also, I am baffled that this is a thing and it’s almost comical because even normal apps don’t do this let alone a sleep app but a couple of times I have forgotten to put my phone on do not disturb and the app sent me MULTIPLE NOTIFICATIONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT THAT WOKE ME UP. What on earth is that all about? ### 5/5 — AI voice is too loud *2026-02-09* The AI voice doesn’t seem to follow normal volume limits. If I don’t wear headphones it will wake the entire house **Developer response:** Hi Dee, Thank you for reaching out and for letting us know about this issue. We’re sorry to hear that the AI voice volume is causing disruption. We’ve shared your feedback with our team, and they’re currently reviewing it to better understand what’s happening. We really appreciate you flagging this for us. ### 5/5 — Some hopeful changes on the horizon *2026-02-08* This is my first experience with any kind of AI program so I was a bit trepidatious. I had tried CBTI with a intermittent Zoom therapist, but this program is different in that the contact is so regular and nearby – your phone! I’m hopeful that if anything is going to make some long-term changes in my sleep, it’s likely to be this kind of a program. ### 2/5 — Not worth the Money *2026-01-30, version 3.170.0* I bought the app with the hopes it would help with my sleep. The AI gave very similar messages on a daily bases. I had to manually enter my log in for the sleep, although I have an Apple Watch and an oura ring. The worst future was that it locks my screen until I entered the sleep log information. I also tried to contact their customer service twice and have not heard back. ### 3/5 — Rest didn’t help *2026-01-07* I’ve had trouble sleeping for the past 7 months. I was hopeful that Rest would help and followed the program to the letter for about 80 days. I logged all sleeping, read all the articles and had “coaching” sessions with an AI chatbot, which usually ended with an “You’ve got this.” The program insisted that my assigned wake up time was non-negotiable. Generally, I wake at 8-8:30 and my assigned time was later. I cannot change when I wake up. We reached an impasse and I gave up on the program. The chatbot needs more supervision and review. Its recommendations get very predictable and are not useful the 10th time you’ve read them. I was disappointed with the program. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m really sorry to hear that the program didn’t meet your expectations. If you’re open to it, we’d really appreciate learning a bit more about your feedback, particularly whether you ever requested a change to your assigned wake time. That context would be very helpful for us. Please feel free to write to us at help@getrest.app if you’d like to continue the conversation. ### 5/5 — It works *2026-01-06* After YEARS of trying every supplement and feeling desperate I heard about cbt-i and got this app. It works. Sleeping through the night. It requires consistency. The first few weeks are hard and you can expect to be tired and then…sleep improves. Slowly but steadily I’m getting better and better sleep. Worth every penny. I’m going to tell my doctor who has given me countless sleeping pill prescriptions (all temporary band aids) to start recommending this to his patients instead. ### 3/5 — Not for me *2026-01-03* The app is okay. It works for what it is. The AI is pretty wonky and doesn’t learn a whole lot, but it remembers what you say and can parrot it back. But it’s clear that it doesn’t really understand what you’re saying. As for the sleep logging, that works fine. But I could have done that in my notes or on a sheet of paper for that matter. My biggest issue is that CBTi didn’t work for me ( there’s also around a 40% dropout rate, so I’m not alone). As a rule follower, this was hard pill to swallow. Just follow the rules and illl be fine. Not this time. I followed for 26 days, and my sleep got so much worse I thought I was going to be really ill. A few days ago I started bending the rules and looking for alternatives. They are out there! If CBTi is not for you, keep looking. You deserve to sleep and feel whole again. I’m not there yet, but I’ve had a few good nights, and that does wonders for my attitude. **Developer response:** Hi Katrina, Thank you for sharing this. Your feedback helps us a lot as we continue improving the app and working to better support more people. If you’re open to it, we’d love to understand a bit more. What parts of CBT-I felt most unhelpful for you? And when you mention that the AI doesn’t really understand what you’re saying, are there any specific examples you could share? We’d also be very interested to hear what alternatives you’ve been exploring and what has started to help. If you’re willing, feel free to write to us at help@getrest.app so we can continue the conversation there. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disingenuous Subscription *2026-08-24* Beware of low cost introductory offers that lock you into substantially higher subscription amounts, coupled with difficult to execute subscription cancellation process **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this — we're sorry to hear the subscription experience left you frustrated. The introductory rate and the standard subscription price are both shown before you subscribe, and you can manage or cancel your subscription anytime from the app, under My Sleep > Account > Manage your account. That said, we'd really like to understand what happened in your case — please email us at help@getrest.app so we can look into it with you. ### 1/5 — Customer Service *2026-08-11, version 3.197.0* My AI coach was stuck on the same dialogue & questions for over eight days. I wrote to customer service four times - no response. After the 5th time , they fixed it and today was the 6th Dayi was asked the exact same questions & given the same suggestions. My subscription ends tomorrow & I can not pay that amount of money for repetition & no help! ### 1/5 — Not Ready for Prime Time *2026-08-04, version 3.197.0* Please stay away from this app and from this service. They use an AI model to check in with you every day that just repeats itself over and over again if you deal with insomnia the way I do, the last thing you need is a robot trying to tell you how great you’re doing, but then not actually providing any value for what you pay. This app causes more stress than it causes relief. ### 1/5 — I have cancelled my subscription stop sending reminders… *2026-02-06, version 3.170.0* See above message- ### 1/5 — No Joy *2026-01-19, version 3.169.0* So far, I haven’t even been able to get past the registration. The app asks for a code, but never sends it. ### 1/5 — Not very helpful *2026-01-18, version 3.169.0* Really just a sleep log and hollow AI powered sleep hygiene tips. Didn’t find it useful at all. ### 1/5 — What A Waste! *2025-12-05, version 3.165.0* After paying, their system would not grant access to the app. Two efforts with support were fruitless. Other reviews suggest this is not a unique experience and that nothing revolutionary is offered anyway. ### 1/5 — Not reliable. Gives wrong advices. *2025-12-02, version 3.165.0* I traveled from east to west and this app kept giving me completely wrong advice for jet lag for a month. After more than a month I am still stuck in a jet lag. Exhausted. Spikes of BP and HR now. All their advices were for west - east travel. Horrible. Contacted their customer support. Nobody bothered to reply. Useless app and harmed me giving wrong advices. Try something different. More reliable. ### 1/5 — Cannot register a new account *2025-10-10, version 3.157.0* The REST app will not accept my Gmail email address when I try to register for a new account. It gives me a message that says this email address does not look correct and has a red circle at the end of the address. I did not get that message when I put in a fake email address. I cannot write the app right now because I haven’t tried it, but I really want to try because I need a good app to check my sleep, quality and parameters. ### 1/5 — Real site? *2025-09-24, version 3.155.0* Does the owner of this site Evolve Global Inc even exist? No website. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very useful and one of the best CBT program out there *2026-08-22* I was skeptical when I started this but boy this program is perfect for those who want to fix their sleep and insomniacs. It is useful to the point that I would not bother with any in person therapy for sleep and stick to this . CBT is way under utilized and meds are way over prescribed in the world these days for sleep issues . Anchoring in CBT will not only improve your sleep but make it viable on long run. I went to therapy and every thing else but this is the only thing that works ### 5/5 — Making progress *2026-08-01* I have two major problems with sleep. One of them is having something significant that worries me and keeps me awake at night. The second is not paying attention to whether I’m eating too much salt and when I do, it wakes me up. This program has done a great job coming up with strategies for calming my mind so that I’m not worrying in the middle of the night, and making me much more aware of what I’m eating and revising my dietary habits so that I’m not eating salt and certainly not eating salt close to bedtime, which keeps me awake. ### 5/5 — sleep *2026-07-30* reality it us good ### 5/5 — 💪🏼 *2026-07-15, version 3.195.0* Been two days and for me my sleep was slightly better just in one night going from waking up multiple times at night to only twice but staying asleep for a good stretch instead of 1 hour and waking up ### 5/5 — Changed my life *2026-07-10, version 3.194.0* CBTI was recommend by my sleep doctor— I was paying $200 an hour to a therapist when I discovered this app! It followed the exact same protocol as my therapist with better results! ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-07-02, version 3.193.0* Rest as truly helped with my insomnia. Can’t recommend this enough to anyone that has sleep issues. ### 5/5 — Great program *2026-06-20, version 3.191.0* My sleep patterns changed with age until I simply wasn’t sleeping but 3-4 hours a night. This program put me back on track and now I am sleeping 6-7 hours a night. ### 5/5 — OMG This app has changed everything! *2026-06-19* I have struggled with sleep onset insomnia since I was 10 yo. Babies then 30 years of shift work made this a real problem. Sometimes it was better and sometimes worse. I’ve tried meds, meditation, cannabis and a 3 month stint of CBT-I. Nothing worked or worked for long. I discovered REST app in April when I was in a really bad phase. I know that CBTI is the gold standard for insomnia treatment so I felt I had nothing to lose . The everyday coaching, the continued encouragement to stick to the plan, the access to information have been amazingly beneficial. I’m routinely sleeping 7 hrs and falling asleep within 30 minutes. I wake up refreshed everyday. I track sleep quality on a different app and Im routinely getting good REM and deep sleep. Things have popped up that have interfered briefly with the schedule (social commitments, doctor visits) and the coaching has guided me through these disturbances. I can’t write enough about what this applies has done for me. Id encourage anyone struggling with insomnia to give it a try. ### 5/5 — Incredible Experience *2026-06-19* I tried everything to get a good night’s sleep – magnesium, melatonin, light therapy, sleeping aid, podcasts, and more. The REST Program uses a remarkable AI to guide you on your journey to improved sleep. “She” gets to know you, maps out the many ways she can help you, and follows up on an agreed-upon schedule. She even “brainstorms” with you for ideas specific to your challenges. Think of it as training your brain to get rid of bad habits that inhibit successful sleep. I went from sleeping maybe 4 or 5 hours a night to 8 hours recently! Unless you have a sleep therapist on speed dial, the only way to get personalized coaching is with REST. It’s quality coaching that works. ### 5/5 — Resty is the BEST *2026-05-29* This app is a great example of the GOOD use of AI! My Rest Coach - she said I can call her Resty - is an excellent and knowledgeable companion to help my ‘good sleep’ challenge be accomplished. I swap between using voice and text for my daily check-in, advice and assignments. Both hqve their advantages. With voice, I feel I getting to “know” her - and her me. With text, I can look back at what we’ve both said so I can be sure to be consistent in my responses and actions. I haven’t missed a day since I started this program and my sleep habits, quantity and quality have improved drdramatically. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
