### 1/5 — Greedy Company

*2025-11-08*

Product didn’t work. Half the nights I track don’t show up. I requested a refund one day after the trial expired, they refused the refund. Hope my money is worth the poor publicity.

### 5/5 — Extremely Helpful

*2025-01-09*

Restful is an informative app that explains CBT-i in easy to understand language. I am also meeting with a sleep specialist and the concepts we are going over in our meetings matches perfectly with Restful. I highly recommend using the app to work on getting better sleep. It’s easy to use and like I said, it has a lot of great information about insomnia.

### 1/5 — Wasn't Helpful for Me

*2024-10-31*

This app has good information content. However, it wasn't useful for resolving my insomnia issues. One of the most useful tools utilized by CTB-I is sleep deprivation. This app prescribed an 8 hour sleep window for me. How can 8 hours provide sleep deprivation if I can't remember the last time I realized 8 hours of sleep.

### 5/5 — Sleep coach

*2024-07-10*

This app acts like my sleep coach. It not only helps me keep track of my sleep patterns. More importantly, it provides CBT based tips to coach you how to improve your sleep. Very easy to use. Highly recommended! I used other wearable devices to help me sleep. None of them is helpful until I found this.

### 4/5 — Sleep Journal

*2023-09-01*

I personally downloaded this app in reference from my therapist. This app is great and have passed it on to others on my Tiktok platform @annakalene to help others that maybe struggling with sleep. 

When we explain about our sleep, it would be helpful if the box was somehow larger. Otherwise this app is 5/5!

### 1/5 — App is not worth it !! Don’t do it !!

*2023-03-20*

Customer service never replies and what you pay for isn’t worth it. Was told I signed up for free trial before committing and submitted complaint but a month later and nothing!

### 5/5 — Simple but helpful app!

*2022-02-26*

App reminds me bedtime every night and track my sleep patterns. Love it.
