Overall a great easy to use app. ### 2/5 — Gekündigt *2025-08-31, version 4.5.1* Gekündigt ### 5/5 — Application simple efficace gratuite 😍 *2025-04-01, version 4.1.1* L’application est 100 % gratuite et marche bien ! Merci beaucoup au développeur, continuez comme ça 👍 Juste si possible de pouvoir sélectionner plusieurs enregistrements à supprimer d’un coup sur une nuit, cela serait parfait (pour ne garder que les voix par exemple) ! En tout cas application géniale, à télécharger sans hésiter ! ### 5/5 — Very impressive *2025-03-14, version 4.0.9* It does what it says, an uncluttered sleep recorder and data app. Easy to use and understand .Having used other sleep apps this one is very impressive and free ! ### 3/5 — X *2025-02-22, version 4.0.9* It’s good but can’t hear the actual recording then next day ### 5/5 — Record *2025-02-14* It works! **Developer response:** Thank you, I'm very happy that you like SleepRec, making a free app work is not easy, I work every day to do my best, thank you ### 3/5 — paramètres *2025-02-07, version 4.0.9* il est dommage que l’on ne connaisse pas le temps entre deux enregistrements. il est possible de programmer la durée des enregistrements mais on ignore au bout de combien temps l’application se redéclenche ### 4/5 — Trouble Finding the *2025-01-16, version 4.0.5* I can’t seem to find the timer feature. I want to set to record in 30-45 minutes time. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-01-13* Best free app **Developer response:** thank you so much, developing SleepRec alone is not easy, but the joy of reading these reviews gives me the right energy to go on ### 5/5 — Sleep rec *2025-01-10, version 4.0.5* It records ur sleep for free no fee trials no money and it actually works really well ### 5/5 — Great *2024-12-29, version 4.0.5* For a free app I do recommend this app ### 5/5 — i like this app *2024-12-28* this app works as intended and i definitely see myself using this.. **Developer response:** Thanks for using SleepRec, remember it is a totally free app developed by a single person, keep using the app soon I will release new features, thanks ### 5/5 — App gratuita per registrare il sonno *2024-12-20, version 4.0.5* Ottima app totalmente gratuita per registrare il sonno, molto utile poter risentire le registrazioni ordinate per giorni e per intensità di decibel, supporto anche per widget, iPad e Apple Watch, fantastico ### 5/5 — Molto utile *2024-12-17, version 4.0.5* App molto utile, sempre aggiornata e gratuita, molto utili i widgets nella Lock Screen ### 5/5 — Fantastica app *2024-12-14, version 4.0.5* App davvero utile per registrare il sonno, con possibilità di vedere statistiche e widget, inoltre è gratuita, fantastica ### 5/5 — Funziona *2024-12-09, version 4.0.5* Ho provato l’app stanotte, ho ritrovato le registrazioni e le ho potute ascoltare in maniera semplice e comoda. ### 3/5 — so far so good *2024-11-22* i went to sleep last night after pushing the rec. button and even though it was my first time using the app i really enjoyed the fact that it kept recording on its own after my alarm went off. i thought that was pretty cool. so far so good. thanks.! **Developer response:** Thanks for using SleepRec, remember that it is a totally free app, but it is constantly improved thanks to your feedback ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only worked one night *2025-10-05, version 4.5.4* This worked well for one night. The app is flaky. ### 1/5 — No *2024-04-13, version 3.9.2* Didnt record ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-03-30* It doesn’t work. I tried everything to ensure it is recording. Nope, you wake up, and it never records through the night. **Developer response:** Thank you for using SleepRec, remember that it is a totally free app, developed without any gain. If you had problems during recording, are you sure that the microphone was active during recording? ### 1/5 — Non funziona *2023-10-23, version 3.7* “Impossibile riprodurre audio non più supportato”. Inutile ### 1/5 — dose not work *2023-05-19, version 3.6* it crashes every time i press list and takes me to my home screen ### 1/5 — This app bro *2023-04-02* It turns off when I leave it on to record so I can never record anything. It should be able to still record even when the phone is off 😐 **Developer response:** Thanks for using SleepRec, unfortunately it can't record any noise if the phone is off, it's not a problem of our app. ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2022-06-14, version 3.5* crashes when you tap on "list" ### 1/5 — Not working *2022-05-11, version 3.3* The App does not record any sounds. ### 2/5 — No *2026-07-22* It’s dumb how it can’t record if your phone is off. I can’t help that my phone shuts off by itself and I’m not gonna have my phone on all night anyway. Just dumb. I think that’s something you guys should fix. Sorry if I came off as rude <3 **Developer response:** The problem with SleepRec not working if your phone is turned off isn't a SleepRec issue; no app can work if your phone is turned off. I hope you'll reconsider your review. SleepRec is a free app I developed out of passion, and negative reviews that aren't related to SleepRec really hurt me. ### 2/5 — confused *2025-10-18, version 4.5.5* how do i listen to my recordings? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing dev team! *2026-08-12* Completely free, no ads, just exactly what you’re looking for, no strings attached. Phenomenal! We need more companies and people like this! **Developer response:** Thanks for the nice review, I have been working alone in my spare time for years on the development of SleepRec, out of pure passion, receiving nice reviews like yours gives me great gratification, thanks ### 5/5 — Feature request *2026-07-23* Ciao Joe! It would be nice if I could recategorize recordings. I found some speech that the AI labeled sneezing. Thank you for such a great app! **Developer response:** Thanks for using SleepRec and thanks for the nice review, in the future I will try to make this change, thanks ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение! *2026-07-13* Записывает все звуки во время сна, классифицирует по типу (храп, чихание, кашель) по уровню звука от низкого до громкого. Перепробовал кучу приложений, это - лучшее. Без рекламы и дополнительных покупок. Джованни, спасибо! **Developer response:** Спасибо за использование SleepRec! Я разрабатываю это приложение с любовью в свободное время, и такие отзывы, как ваш, помогают мне ещё усерднее работать над его улучшением. Спасибо, что уделили время и написали этот приятный отзыв. ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2026-06-10* Me encanta 👏 **Developer response:** Muchas gracias, me alegra que te guste SleepRec. Desarrollo esta aplicación por pasión en mi tiempo libre y es agradable saber que se aprecia. ### 5/5 — RV *2026-06-03* PW **Developer response:** Great for using SleepRec I'm very happy with the good review, keep following the app soon there will be new features ### 5/5 — I love it! *2026-05-05, version 5.5.0* I use this every night and I find it funny when I hear myself, thanks for making it free it’s really hard to find stuff like this free now adays! ### 5/5 — Wow. Just wow seriously *2026-02-23, version 5.2.0* Honestly, 10/10. A completely free app. No ads, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases. It’s clean, well designed, and very easy to use. The AI automatically sorts recordings by sound type (snoring, talking, sneezing, and more) and does all of that completely FREE. YOU DONT EVEN NEED TO REGISTER ANYTHING It genuinely gives me hope that there are still great developers out there who care more about building something useful than just making money. This app deserves to be trending. I honestly don’t understand how it only has 14 reviews. ### 5/5 — Play back *2025-09-07, version 4.5.1* I was using the app wrong now. I know how to use it. It is a very good app an excellent because it is free. Thank you. ### 5/5 — RV *2025-08-27* PW **Developer response:** Great for using SleepRec I'm very happy with the good review, keep following the app soon there will be new features ### 5/5 — Question *2025-07-25* I love this app so far I just downloaded it but I hate that I can’t hear the recordings though is that possible to add on to the app or is it already available **Developer response:** Thank you for using SleepRec, I don't quite understand your request, to listen to the recordings again, you need to run the app for at least one night to have enough time to process the recordings, if you want to send me your suggestions in the feedback section of the app I will be happy to help, thank you --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
