Which were mostly me turning over, so no differentiation of sounds as promised. And paid version not cheap ### 2/5 — Hugs storage drain *2026-03-31, version 6.5.1* The app records all night, but doesn’t let you save individual parts of the recording, such as when you’re speaking. You can favorite them, but you have to keep hours of recording to save just one moment of speaking. ### 3/5 — Have to pay to listen :( *2026-02-28, version 6.5.0* Used to be best the app to use, I honestly loved it! I would use it every night and then listen in the morning, but unfortunately they’ve since added a feature that means yoh have to pay to listen to the full night. Hate greedy apps. ### 2/5 — Bien conçu mais payant *2025-12-29, version 6.4.3* L’app est bien développée et le concept est intéressant. Inutile de vous communiquer la mauvaise surprise en enregistrant la première nuit, pour qu’au lendemain je constate avec effrois que je ne pouvais qu’écouter 4 audios sur 70. Tout cela, pour un prix mensuel de 7,49$, dont je trouve dérisoire. Ainsi, je désinstalle l’application, bredouille, quel dommage. ### 1/5 — Unadvertised monthly subscription *2025-11-09, version 6.4.3* Requires you to pay to actually listen to the recordings ### 1/5 — Too easy to delete whole night with no undo *2025-11-03, version 6.4.3* Big button to delete whole night’s recordings when you only want to remove one clip. Then all gone for good! No undo. No trash bin. No ‘are you sure?’ Just gone. Deleting one clip when you might have hundreds per night is way less obvious. ### 1/5 — Only 2 recordings *2025-10-15, version 6.4.3* You have to pay 5 dollars a month if you want more than the first to recordings. ### 1/5 — Des voleurs *2025-10-08* J’ai acheté l’appli 5€, et aujourd’hui il me demande de payer un abonnement pour pouvoir m’en servir une honte. ### 1/5 — Picks up the fan *2025-10-06, version 6.4.3* Picks up the fan even on lowest sensitivity and cant hear my sleep talking. ### 1/5 — You need to pay to listen your sleep talk! *2025-09-20, version 6.4.3* And you’ll know this only after you record one. Stupid method to make money for the developer. 0/10 ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-09-04, version 6.4.3* So I got this app and tried it last night. It catches EVERYTHNG. I had 127 recordings and of the 30 odd I was allowed to listen to (free) it was all bursts of me snoring (or my husband as I couldn’t tell if it was me or not) then I had to pay to listen to the rest. As you can imagine I wasn’t doing that so deleted the app! ### 2/5 — Paywall *2025-08-27, version 6.4.3* Recorded 46 clips. Did not mention that it has a paywall until I checked in the morning. 26 clips free (all restless shifting) and 20 behind a paywall (first of these taken two hours after the last free one, so definitely - coincidently - while asleep). Nothing useful. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous pay-wall *2025-08-27, version 6.4.3* You can only listen to the first two hours of a night before they lock the rest behind a pay wall. ### 1/5 — Never mentions it’s pay locked *2025-08-13, version 6.4.3* . ### 1/5 — This used to be free! *2025-07-16, version 6.4.2* I’m totally disgusted that I can’t listen to one full night’s sleep recordings anymore. This used to be free. The only free one I could find. And now you have to pay to unlock the rest of the recordings. Disgusting. ### 1/5 — Asks you to pay to unlock and doesn’t record the whole night *2025-06-17, version 6.4.2* Would have been nice to know you have to pay. It recorded a small tiny little sound and only has two other sounds. I don’t want to pay to unlock just to risk not hearing any actual sleep talk. ### 1/5 — 450 Clips of Just Static *2025-05-14, version 6.4.2* Horrible app! I have it on the lowest setting and it still picks up noise from a very quiet fan that’s across the room. In some clips it even picked by birds from outside. It’s way too sensitive. I paid for one month and learned you are locked out of listening to any clips after 2am. This app is definitely not the right one for me. It’s a waste of time and money. I do NOT recommend this app. ### 2/5 — Payant !! *2025-05-13* Bonne application pour s’entendre ronfler ou entendre des bruits étranges en revanche au bout de 10 enregistrement (dans la même nuit) pour pouvoir écouter le reste, c’est payant !!! Très dommage !! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — seriously? *2026-08-25, version 6.5.2* disappointed that you have to pay to hear yourself snore. first thing that comes up when you look up “free” too. ### 1/5 — Bloody subscription everywhere *2026-08-14, version 6.5.2* Nothing on the AppStore page or during first use makes it obvious that this app needs a subscription to be vaguely useful. Without it you only get access to the first two hours. What ever happened to paying a few quid to “Have” an app?! ### 1/5 — Payment is deceiving. *2026-07-18, version 6.5.2* You have to pay to listen to recordings after the 10th clip. All we got is snoring for the first 10. ### 1/5 — Not what it once was *2026-06-01, version 6.5.2* I redownloaded the app I used to enjoy and be delighted by. (It was fun to hear what I would say in my sleep.) only to find the majority of my recordings now are behind an expensive paywall. Boo ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-03-13, version 6.5.0* Find a free one ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2026-02-06, version 6.5.0* Impossible d’extraire les données d’une nuit sauf en exportant une par une tous les enregistrements de 3 secondes ???!!! Une nuit fait en moyenne 500 enregistrements! ### 1/5 — Now charges £5 pm rip off *2026-02-02, version 6.5.0* Used to have this app then suddenly it changed and now charges for you to listen to more than five recordings a night. I would rather pay £10 for app outright. Rip off for that monthly cost. ### 1/5 — A little frustrating *2026-01-11, version 6.5.0* Woke up to find 90% of last nights of recordings. Of my own voice, from my own phone, locked behind a $35 paywall. And why wait in the morning to let me find out this information? Also why does everything have to be a social media app now. Or harvest my data. Why cant a recorder just be a recorder. ### 1/5 — Have to pay, not secure *2025-12-14, version 6.4.3* Getting sick of apps that aren’t honest. You must pay to listen to recordings. They don’t tell you till after. If you’re going to pay there’s better apps. Also, not clear what happens with your voice data. ### 1/5 — Stoped working! *2025-12-05, version 6.4.3* I run this on my iPad with its case closed to save battery and stop the screen from lighting the room. This worked great till an update stopped it working when the iPad is locked. No idea why they did that. Just trashed a good app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app but quick bug fix *2025-11-27, version 6.4.3* My fan makes this kinda quiet yet kinda loud noise and so it picked That up all night. Just informing you! ### 5/5 — Great for Nocturnal Epilepsy *2025-06-28, version 6.4.2* Thank you so much for this app. I’ve had it 7 years. This has been very helpful to monitor my seizures in the night. I’ve passed on this great tool to many others with epilepsy who I know will also love this app. ### 5/5 — Véritablement gratuit *2025-01-14* Enfin, une vraie application, gratuite, sans avoir besoin de s’abonner ou de faire une période d’essai ! Merci ### 5/5 — 🎧🤣🤣 *2024-06-20, version 6.3.1* not sure how the app works, but i seen some of the peoples recording and it sounded like the same amman and woman recording all the time but even if the app does or doesn’t work they’re a laugh to listen too fr ### 5/5 — Icons/Symbols *2024-04-01, version 6.3.1* I started using this app a couple of months ago. Very cool app! I love it! I am curios, though, what do the symbols mean? That part confuses me. Where can I get information on that? ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-02-22, version 6.3.1* My favorite thing about this app is you can submit like farts and stuff etc. favorite person on here? Sleeptalkman. Aka Jeff. Favorite recording? Hate that giraffe. Go listen to it if you haven’t already! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2023-11-07, version 6.3.1* I love this app my partner has night terrors and sleep talks a lot so I love to show him in the morning how annoying it is to sleep next to him hahha ### 5/5 — Yay *2023-04-24, version 6.2.2* It was very good ### 5/5 — Для записи сна *2023-04-07* Отлично удобно ### 5/5 — Great App *2023-03-04, version 6.2.2* I love this app if you are a sleep talker or walker it gives you everything you need to know!
