9/10 but…

It’s good but I wish there were a bit more quizzes 👌

This is actually amazing

My experience has been amazing so far

Seemed useful but couldn’t access

I paid 99p for a month. Was finding it useful, but a few days in decided to cancel, incase I forgot later if I didn’t like it. Thought I would renew if I did. As soon as I cancelled, I should have still got access for the month, but an offer kept coming up that I could not get off the screen without accepting. I accepted it, to get it off the screen and immediately regretted it, felt forced into the purchase for a year, so cancelled again and currently waiting for a refund after filling out ‘right to withdrawal within 14 days’. Still can’t access the month I paid for, because offer is back again. I probably would have renewed, as found information quite good, but won’t now. Hoping my refund for £29.99 will go through without any problems.

Give it a try, however…..

I would have given this 5 stars if not for one minor thing. We will get to that in a second.

I love how this app gives you a guide to your up and down times. When to limit blue light, screen time, caffeine and even when your melatonin cycle is for that day.

The one issue I have is that this isn’t customizable for people who work nights or even a swing shift. If you sleep during the day you have to work through a loop with extra steps and it may not be accurate. I would have subscribed if it weren’t for this little issue which could easily be solved with an update. It’s a shame to see how many subscribers they may not get for not having customizable sleep schedules. It’s unfortunate.

Give a shot, just remember if you work nights, it’ll be a little bit skewed.

Don't skip the free trial, it's not worth paying for.

I paid $1 for a month, and I really wish I had just used the 7-day free trial first because I would have realized right away that it isn't worth it. The marketing and ads for this app are amazing, but the app itself is nothing out of the ordinary. It really isn't useful at all—it basically just sets a time for you to go to sleep and wake up, exactly like a standard phone alarm. The worst part is the notifications. The app will send an alert telling you your energy is dipping, and it plays psychological mind games with you where you suddenly feel exhausted just because it told you to. On the flip side, it will notify you that your energy is 'peaking,' yet you just feel completely normal. Don't fall for the marketing.

Potential but not there

I did the intake and saw the interface there is potential for the app. However a biggest issue I had is that I could not update live data into how I was feeling to adjust my sleep pattern. Maybe my afternoon dip started and lasted from a different range of time. Or maybe I work up early but then went back to sleep there wasn’t ways to add those entry points then the sleep schedule to optimize it. I think at this point the app isn’t really offering any significant benefit that justifies 60/70 dollar yearly subscription.

Terrible

Awful app took my money without notifying me that the free trail had ended

Need more sleep

Very helpful

Do not download

You have to PAY like it’s not fair just because you want to see when you want to sleep

Hidden alarms

I want to start off by saying I like the data aspect and insight this app provides about sleep, however, I ran into some technical issues. Starting after an iPhone update, I started having random “ghost” alarms throughout the day, where my phone would vibrate and chime, despite having no schedule to do so. I contacted Apple and had to reset my phone’s settings and ultimately conducted a factory reset. The problem persisted. I ultimately traced the issue to the Rise app, and after deleting the app from my phone, I no longer have these alarms. I found some people online with a similar issue after the iPhone update and that the Rise app developer was working on a solution to this problem. I am writing this more so in case people have a similar problem because it took me months to figure out what was causing it, with 4-5 alarms going off in a day at times, including the middle of the night.

Amazing

Jesus I needed this thank you rise

Money thirsty

Why do yall expect me to pay dawg im trying to fix my sleep schedule and then yall make me
Pay

Oof.

Wanted this app to work bad, having had enough of using my phone as a mike while ignoring my Apple Watch. As a high performer this would have been perfect. Yet these guys lose so many customers thru the free trial and subscription BS.
The app itself is beautifully designed and pretty much perfect. Love the aesthetics in particular.
Other reviews were talking about how after you gave RISE your data, if you wanted to uninstall it after realizing that RISE is not free, you… could not. I had this problem too, but to work around you have to add the app onto your Home Screen from your App Library, press and hold it until it starts shaking, and then delete the app.
Too bad it didn’t work. Wish it could.

Wow!

I’m so used to seeing very impactful apps that could be very useful give you a long questionnaire just to give you your outcome behind a paywall. This app is different and really feels like it’s trying to leave a lasting impact on my life.

Interface

User friendly and satisfying layout

Seems insightful and helpful

4 star just because I just did the “interview/set up” process and it seems very on point, many different scenarios of sleep patterns and lifestyle choices.. if I remember I’ll update after a month of using the app

Good app, but way too expensive

I’d love to leave a good review of this app, but I can’t. I had the free version and you can’t even get that without paying $10 a month. There are other better apps out there for the price.

Please add this feature

As someone who struggles with intermittent sleep issues and general sleep hygiene rise sleep has been great. The one thing I have found myself wishing the app offered is a travel mode/jet lag assist. If you could add some sort of adaptive mode for this the app would be perfect!

Interesting

Very interesting
