Sehr nützlich
Hat alles, was man zum Schlaftracking braucht, klare Empfehlung von mir! Eine kleine Optimierung würde ich mir wünschen: beim „Schlafscreen“ während der Schlafüberwachung sollten nicht nur die Stunden im Bett, sondern eben auch die bisherige echte Schlafzeit angezeigt werden… Dann kann man beim wach werden in der Nacht gleich sehen, ob es sich lohnt, sich ernsthaft um mehr Schlaf zu bemühen.

Anti-patterns in requests for data permissions (App developer is aware and doesn’t care!)
Overall, this is a good app — but I found some of the requests for data collected to be sent were worded in such a way where it wasn’t transparent that you were being asked to “agree” to terms and conditions.
One request for sleep (audio) recordings popped up and was worded in an odd way.
“Do you feel”, I think was the opening wording and the options for the user to click were, “No” and “OK”.
If the app genuinely needs to collect the data and there’s a genuine benefit to the user, I feel requests to agree to give permission should be asked transparently and the options presented should be “Decline” or “Accept”.
——Edited:
The fact the developer has ignored my criticism of their use of an anti pattern to manipulate users to give permission for data collection, and simply supplied where to change your privacy settings after they’ve duped you into giving permission in the first place tells you everything you need to know about how much they genuinely care about respecting the privacy of their users.
🤦♂️ Do not install or use this app — if they think duping people into “giving consent” is an acceptable practice, you do not want these guys to have your data.

Can’t change my password and no support from this app
I paid to subscribe it, and forgot my password. I tired to reset with my email but never received the reset email. Yes, searched all junk trash folders. I emailed their support team and 3 months later, no response!
Life changing
I have been using sleep cycle almost nightly since summer of 2018, I was the type of person who was extremely difficult to wake up, always groggy, frustrating for my loved ones, often late to work/ school because waking up was so hard. A friend of mine at a bachelorette weekend actually recommended Sleep Cycle to me. She told me that it listens to you sleep and wakes you up when you’re already most awake (not in REM) so it’s much easier to get up, so I tried it and have never looked back. I’m telling you, I should buy stock in this company because I tell so many people about it. This app genuinely changed my life and I don’t know what I would do without it.. THANK YOU SLEEP CYCLE! (I don’t even know if there is a free version, but I do subscribe to it and it is worth every freaking penny)

Sleep time
Does not accurately track awake time. If I lay still it tracks me asleep.

Este app tem uma ação de rotação de cobrança impedindo o cancelamento da assinatura.
excellent
i slept so good ever since i started to use sleep cycle
Not as advertised
Alarms didn’t work
Sleep quality
Sleep Quality pretty much tells you or at least me everything about how I’m going to feel the next day. 5 1/2 hours is great six hours. Doesn’t happen. I think it’s age related from what I’d read eight decades and still feeling healthy is a blessing so that’s about me not so much about the app, but that’s where the app helps me

Phone Failed & Reset — App Forgot My Purchase
Too often I find that what I buy stops being mine. I’m tired of subscriptions.
Excellent app
Great app to use to help with sleep.
Best sleeping app of all time
Long time user here. Been with SleeoCycle for 6-7 years. So used to it that I can’t sleep without it. Best app. Lots of features and easy to use.
Melhor App de monitoramento
Uso o Sleep Cycle com frequência e simplesmente amo esse aplicativo! Ele me ajuda muito a conhecer melhor e entender meu sono.
Elsa and the Snoring Symphony
I enjoy the sleep aids, especially the deep breathing guides and audio tracks. I’m not sure how accurate the tracking is - in many cases it has tracked my dogs’ movements and breathing but the audio recordings are hilarious. Elsa - my sleep coach - is super cool and I’m often asleep before the guide is through. It pairs well with Apple health and I enjoy the wake up window feature.

app mercenario
baixei faz tempo e usava de boa, esse ano decidi pagar pra poder acessar os áudios q o app capta quando vc dorme, tudo funcionou de boas, mas de um tempo pra cá o app tirou essa opção e colocou um”premium” para acessar o msm conteúdo q já havia pago anteriormente, achei uma atitude deselegante, decepcionante.

Completely Inaccurate
I’m being awakened many times a night due to hot flashes and wanted to track the frequency - I used a hand written log on several nights in addition to the app and the app was so far off as to show I was in deep sleep or REM when I was fully awake. Therefore can’t trust a thing - the data looks cool and is displayed with authority but if it’s not accurate what’s the point

awesome!! daily user for 3+ years
really love the app, been using it for maybe 3 years for probably all my slumber. this was the solution to all my problems. other alarms make me literally jolt out of bed but this app subtly wakes me.
although occasionally (maybe 4 times from all the times ive used it) i cannot hear it go off. a few times i was awake elsewhere and the alarm would show the snooze button without sound. however, i cant tell if its due to the app or because i have an iphone

Best alarm and sleep tracker!
Been using for decades now- and still works wonders
Classy
Really good
Cannot Restore Premium Features Anymore
The fact that I had to click through the Try It Free button every day just to enable the features I had paid for years ago was bad enough, now they won’t even let me use those features anymore!
