## What is Sleep When I Sleep?

Audiobook & podcast users know that it is almost impossible to find your place once you have fallen asleep and play has continued.

SWIS – Sleep when I sleep.

Here is what you will love about SWIS for iOS:
It is so easy to use.

SWIS alerts you that you are falling asleep & if not dismissed will pause audio playback making it easier to find where you left off in a story or podcast.

SWIS detects that you are falling asleep & sends you an alert through the watch. We recommend that you stop audio playback when alerted. However, should you feel that you are not falling asleep and dismiss it the App will reset at a less sensitive level and alert you should it again detect sleep.

SWIS uses health data from your Apple Watch to determine that you are falling asleep. For accuracy, this data updates throughout the day.
Simply open SWIS on your watch when you are listening to audio and press Start. When alerted or when finished press Stop.

Apple Watch required.

DO NOT RELY ON SWIS TO ALERT YOU THAT YOU MAY BE FALLING ASLEEP WHEN DRIVING.

### 1/5 — Doesn't seem to work

*2025-07-15, version 1.0.1*

Use this last night for the first time as I've had it on my phone for ages. I'm on version 1.2 according to the app.  I was listening to a podcast on BBC Sounds and set the app to work. Check this morning and the podcast finished and I definitely didn't get to the end of it. I went back to the developers who kept telling me to tap my watch five times to test out the settings, but I couldn't even find the settings to make any adjustments. Anyway, I emailed them back to tell them their support had made no difference and received exactly the same response. Shame really. This app had potential certainly in terms of what it was supposed to do

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Let You Know It’s A Subscription Based App At Any Point Before Download Or In The App Blurb

*2025-01-12, version 1.0.1*

Deleted this app and am giving it 1 star because there isn’t anywhere on the App Store page for this app saying it is a subscription model until the subscription screen is presented to you once you open the app for the first time. You do get a free trial but, that isn’t the point.

### 1/5 — Too good to be true

*2024-11-14*

Note that this app was released 2 years ago and has not been updated since, so it’s not surprising that it simply doesn’t work. I assume it still in the App Store just hope people will forget to cancel after trial period. 
Received no answer from support. Too bad, there is a real market for this type of functionality.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2024-06-05, version 1.0.1*

Would be helpful if there was a way to test that I have got all the settings right. No matter what settings I change, app fails to detect that I am asleep and switch off the audio.
