Login loop

Can’t login, keeps on looping round asking for password.

Keeps asking to log in

I have stopped using it because it keeps asking me to log in every time. Please change it to save the log in details so it doesn’t ask to log in again

Not great

Honestly it’s not that great an app and I don’t see how it’s supposed to help me sleep, it’s videos of information why sleep is good for you and it’s information I’m already aware of, you cannot change the voice for the ‘sleep now’ section and the man’s voice is very sharp and loud not easy to sleep to, there’s also no option for when you haven’t slept overnight and no matter what I input it’s saying my sleep was 100% when I didn’t sleep. This is very different from the CBT I did in person years ago and honestly not helpful at all, everyone is different so this won’t help everyone with insomnia esp those of us with life long insomnia and it’s infuriating that I have to use this useless app rather than get proper help from the NHS

Half way through each session it gives me an error message and forces me to restart.

Definitely not helping me get to sleep… error message just says “Whoops It seems something has gone wrong. Need help? Please reach out to us”

Functionally useless

Not much good as a “self guided” app, which is extremely one dimensional in terms of prescriptive techniques, one size fits all approach to insomnia and CBT. Most useless aspect is the fact as an NHS patient I do not get notifications or reminders, as the app does not keep you logged in. I have to log in every time I use it, which removes any notifications I would get to keep me on track or to remind me of anything I’m supposed to have “learnt” from the app.
