Love this app

This app has been great for improving my sleep and gaining more insights about my sleep health. I especially like the gradual alarm because it starts my day calm and wakes me gently.

I hate this app

I was allowed to use this for two nights before the app became locked and demanded $99. I have trouble sleeping and do whatever I can to get sleep. So I turned the automatic 7:30 am alarm off. The next night it turned itself back on and woke me up at 7:30. There was no clear way to stop the thing from playing loud music. If you hit snooze it just played loud music 5 minutes later. I tried turning the volume down on the phone and that didn’t work either. There was no way to navigate away from the alarm screen either- so I was stuck with blaring music until the app decided to make an “I’m awake” button appear. Waking to a glitchy app is the opposite of why someone would want an app like this. Then I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to turn the alarm off permanently (because it’s not intuitive) and experienced clunky navigation and poorly explained features. Just when I thought it was set up properly to really give it a try, it stopped working entirely because it’s impossible to move past the screen where you have to pay for it. They should be paying ME for waking me up because they designed such a horrible app. It’s disappointing because the idea behind the app is amazing- but there is NO excuse for such a horrible design.

Deeper sleep on my oura ring!!

VERY cool product I came across that pairs perfectly with my oura ring. So far very satisfied and I’m also loving the Dr Snooze chat feature.

Great app but ad ruins it

Love the application itself however the “free trial” page pops up everytime I navigate to another part of the app and the only way to get it to go away is it click try now and then cancel. It’s very obnoxious.
The frequency and the fact that there isn’t a way to just close the window easily.

Kept me awake

My sleep was worse using this app. The noise kept me awake and I had less sleep overall and practically no deep sleep. Rubbish

Improved my deep sleep and REM sleep based on on my Oura ring

I’ve been tracking my sleep closely, and since using the SleepSpace app, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in both deep and REM sleep. Just comparing two nights — my deep sleep increased from 1 hour (12%) to 1 hour 24 minutes (17%), and REM sleep jumped from 2h 8m (27%) to 2h 41m (34%). That’s actually incredible, I’ve tried so many things and nothing had such a measurable impact.

What’s impressive is how SleepSpace helps optimize your sleep environment and timing. I use it in airplane mode and still benefit from the sound features — no need for EMFs or always-on connectivity. The sleep latency, efficiency, and overall restfulness have also improved.

Highly recommend this app if you’re serious about improving sleep quality in a natural and science-backed way. I genuinely wake up feeling more refreshed and recovered.

App requires full access to Apple Health data

This is corporate data overreach to require me to give you read access to my health data. It’s none of your business. I’m cancelling the trial and going back to Sleep cycle which doesn’t require this. What are you doing with my data? Selling it?

Best sleep app:rated by testing

I have tested numerous sleep apps, all the big ones including Pillow etc and SleepSpace is by far the best. Many of them have at least one feature that just doesn’t work properly. Always a problem linking with Apple Watch usually but NOT with SleepSpace it just works.
Not just that, but the technical help I got off a team member called Daniel was superb. Even when I was very difficult! If it is just a bot, it’s a well engineered one lol. Great experience

Easy to use Sleep Diary Tracker

I have used SleepSpace personally and professionally as a sleep diary tracker. The app is easy to use and provides the needed information to track sleep variables and changes in my sleep. I also enjoy the inclusion of the various recordings within the app.

Best of the best

A must have for anyone wanting to sleep better. Much more than your regular app… sleep coaching on demand is awesome, as is the ability to import your sleep data from wearables. Highly highly recommend!

Best app yet to gather & review data on my sleep

Easy to use and Dr Snooze is quite approachable, explains anything I don’t understand but the app is pretty easy to understand with all its helps. It links in the data from all my other devices and displays it all on one screen

why on earth is my watch lit up all night long.

This app isn’t bad, it does seem to help me get at least a little bit more deep sleep. It has one very frustrating problem my watch is lit up with information on it of my heartbeat and such, all night long! That is profoundly frustrating. And I can’t seem to make it stop. About ready to ditch the whole program.

Not worth the download

I used the app with my Apple Watch. I also have 3 other fitness apps that also track sleep. Since this app was designed specifically for sleep, I was hoping for some good, if not better, insight
From the first night of the free trial, it has not provided any good information about my sleep. For example, one night I know I woke up 3X, including a bathroom visit. This app had none, while the others had 2-3 wake ups. Ditto every night, it came up short. No need to go further if it can’t get the basics right.

Bummer

I’m amazed this app has such a high rating. It is so buggy! It has a lot of great features but nothing seemed to work properly. Didn’t import/incorporate data from my apply watch. I couldn’t do the daily sleep diary first thing in the morning (as they suggest), but once they started sending notifications for me to do it, they would keep coming ALL day, even after I had completed it.
I wasn’t excited about the fact that they tell you that the sleep coach and customer support is an AI bot (Dr Snooze), yet even that was a let down! The one big benefit from that should at least be the fact that it’s available 24/7 (as they state), but each time I tried to connect with it, the reply was that someone would email me within a few hours- they never did.
There were lots of other glitches, but I’m TOO TIRED to write it all out! But if anyone at the app is reading this, please feel free to reach out! The app has a lot of great intentions and I’d love to see the tech behind it worked out.
The one feature that worked which I really enjoyed was the ability to set a soundscape to help me wind down, and then switch to a different one to play throughout the night. That was great, but I’m not going to pay the full subscription fee just for that.

Response from developer

Hi Racey - just wanted to let you know we resolved the issue with the sleep diary notification. I think we did respond to all your questions in Dr. Snooze - sorry it took so long. Please reach out again and we can make sure you get a better user experience. I'd even be happy to give you a sleep consultation on the house! (valued at $200).

Has improved my sleep quality

I have used many sleep apps, and this one delivers. I have a Ultra 2 and the apps integration is nice, when you wind down or meditate, it gives slight taps on wrist that lowers heart rate very effectively. I commute 40 miles to and from work, I pretty much go straight to bed due to working late.

I used the Night Yoga Nidra for winding down and fall asleep in minutes after the session. That paired with pink noise keeps me asleep all night. I wake up to Morning Yoga Nidra and I am fired up all day. The high, low, high timing has been very effective in keeping my energy levels up during the day.

I saw the bad reviews and disagree, I have seen nothing but improvements in my sleeping. As an example, one app said I only needed 6 hours of sleep a night. I was constantly dragging trying to get through the day. After one week with this app it said I needed 7 to 8 hours of sleep, I now sleep a total of 7 hours and 45 minutes a night.

The technical support is excellent, any advice or suggestions are quickly responded to, as well as follow up and feedback.

I have canceled several of the sleep apps I use due to the effectiveness of this app.

SCAM

Buyer beware. I tried the 7 day free trial and they charged me for an entire year. I never got the 7 day free trial. Customer service does not respond. This is a very shady and misleading tactic. Best to avoid this app altogether.

Useless!!

Worst piece of garbage, ever! It’s not even an average alarm clock. Not loud enough to wake me up. Too much hype about this junk app!!

Amazing-Highly Recommend

An amazing tool for anyone struggling with sleep or for those who want to create a proper sleep routine. I’ve not only learned so much about my sleep patterns but the app has also helped me improve my sleep, which is priceless. In addition to the data and results you are given, SleepSpace provides calming sounds and meditations that create an escape from your own mind so you can achieve a deep, peaceful sleep. Thank you to Dr. Gartenberg - who I have been following since his TedTalk - for this wonderful tool and everything he are doing to help us all sleep and live better! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can’t wait to see what he does next !

Love it!

Great support too . Go team!

Saved my sleep

I’ve used a lot of the apps on the App Store and this one has been the best and most comprehensive. I completed the falling asleep and staying asleep program and learned so much about how I was sabotaging my own sleep with certain behaviors. The program corrected me and guided me into finding better habits. Now I’m sleeping like a baby this past month. I also really like the gradual wake up alarm.Thank you so much to the creators of this app!! This app is such a game changer - I’ve been telling all my friends and family about it.
