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. ### 3/5 — Great app but ad ruins it *2025-10-16, version 8.6.0* 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. ### 2/5 — App requires full access to Apple Health data *2025-06-28, version 8.5.0* 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? ### 5/5 — Easy to use Sleep Diary Tracker *2025-01-21, version 8.3.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2025-01-10, version 8.3.4* 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! ### 5/5 — Best app yet to gather & review data on my sleep *2024-12-06, version 8.3.0* 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 ### 3/5 — why on earth is my watch lit up all night long. *2024-11-10, version 8.2.8* 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. ### 2/5 — Bummer *2024-04-29, version 8.2.5* 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. ### 5/5 — Has improved my sleep quality *2024-03-25, version 8.2.4* 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. ### 5/5 — Amazing-Highly Recommend *2024-01-18, version 8.1.1* 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 ! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-01-10, version 8.1.0* Great support too . Go team! ### 5/5 — Saved my sleep *2024-01-10, version 8.1.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Great help *2023-11-11, version 8.0.3* I’ve been struggling with insomnia for half a year now, and Daniel and his team are amazing. Nothing short of miracle workers even though I just started and I already feel better and I’m already seeing minor improvements in my sleep. I understand this is gonna take some time because it’s a terrible habit I have accumulated but once I spoke with Daniel, I had so much relief and hope that I know that I’ll master my sleep. I highly recommend sleep space because it’s run by extremely professional and well trained and educated people on sleep who know what they’re doing and will get you the results. I’ll write another review once I’ve gotten better. Thank you guys! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Kept me awake *2025-09-16, version 8.5.9* My sleep was worse using this app. The noise kept me awake and I had less sleep overall and practically no deep sleep. Rubbish ### 1/5 — Unviable *2025-01-30* All paid ### 1/5 — Not worth the download *2024-05-24, version 8.2.5* 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. ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-03-13, version 8.2.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Useless!! *2024-03-02, version 8.2.0* 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!! ### 1/5 — Can’t even use it *2023-12-29, version 8.0.8* I downloaded it to see if I would like it. The app seemed to be free and then have a premium monthly subscription but after I made my account with my personal info connected and set a schedule it wouldn’t let me use it without going pro. I find it frustrating that it won’t let me use it for the free version unless I pay. I find it untrustworthy that there isn’t a way to delete my account without paying for the subscription since I can’t get to the profile section without the pop up being there ### 1/5 — Sensationalist and Unhelpful *2023-12-10, version 8.0.7* I feel like I wasted money on investing in this scammy app and its smart bed. The product page lies and says that the smart bed collects micro motion data, but when you talk to support and turn of health app integration you see that the app itself is collecting crappy data and passing other data sources off as its own. The app marketing also lies and suggests filling out the sleep survey and daily sleep journals but then the survey is a two-bit Facebook knockoff of a sleep chronotype and you can’t utilize both wearable data and journal data at the same time. Finally, because I don’t allow it Health app data I see that it doesn’t upload its own sleep data to your online profile where I should be able to see charts of how my sleep is doing over the month I’ve been using it. Instead it says “no data” indicating to me that it is again trying to siphon your Health app data from other sources and pass it off as its own data. ### 1/5 — Battery drain. Unacceptable. *2023-09-05, version 8.0.0* Battery drain. Unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Just bad *2023-06-27, version 7.9.3* Probably one of the worst sleep apps out there - noises go off in the middle of the night for no real reason and has several other bugs. Pls don’t pay the year subscription.. so not worth it ### 1/5 — Buggy on steroids *2023-04-15, version 7.9.1* The app has a lot of potential It is not ready for prime time not even close. I know it’s hard to believe but I’ve spent about 15 hours trying to get it to work properly, and half of that time trying to get the Lifex bulb 💡 which SleepSpace promotes on the app. The customer support is non/existent. If you use the free trial, buyer, beware. After the free trial ended, I purchased a promotional item from SleepSpace directly that included a one-year subscription, and my credit card was, nevertheless, billed for one year after the trial period ended. SleepSpace ended up returning the money, but it was a huge headache on top of the waking nightmare I had getting the everything to work as it should. bottom line, don’t get the lightbulb, and even if you get it to work, it’s not worth the price space as a standalone app in my opinion as very little to the Apple sleep tracker. And probably most other sleep tracker is as well. One thing I do like are the thunder that I find soothing, apps that are available for free I do the same thing. Like I said, at the outside, SleepSpace has a lot of potential. But it’s unrealized and premature. Try it out for seven days decide for yourself but beware if you buy any accessories and hopefully you won’t be billed at the end of the seven days if you don’t want to continue an annual subscription. The owner appears to be helpful at first blush but if you count the number of emails that I’ve had with the man the number 100 and when he was working with me on a zoom call to get the lightbulb to work the car was dropped and I spent the rest of the day in the night working on it by myself because he wouldn’t be available until the following week I don’t think that was, good customer service on the contrary. I regret ever hearing the names SleepSpace. But now that I have it for one year of all, enjoy it for what it is. And there’s some additional device that the owner claims that if you put it underneath your mattress little perform wonders and because I’m a fanatic I’m gonna order it. Hopefully, if it doesn’t perform as represented, the company will return my money, although I don’t see any any of the products. After I try it out, I’ll update my review and let you know what I think in about a month time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-07, version 9.2.0* I’ve had difficulty sleeping most of my adult life. A friend who’s had similar sleep issues as myself suggested I try SleepSpace. I was reluctant to try yet another sleep app, but I did and it’s been amazing. The custom sound mixes are meditative and dreamy. I look forward to listening every night, and have been so happy seeing my sleep stats actually improve! ### 5/5 — An app that finally helps me sleep *2026-08-07, version 9.2.0* I’ve tried a handful of sleep apps and Sleep Space is the first one that’s stuck. The soundscapes are genuinely relaxing rather than tinny or repetitive, and the sleep tracking feels accurate compared to what I notice in the morning. The interface is clean and easy to use late at night when I don’t want to be playing around with settings. It’s become part of my nightly routine and I’ve noticed a real difference in how rested I feel. Highly recommend if you’re struggling to wind down or stay asleep. ### 5/5 — Great apt *2026-07-30, version 9.1.1* I would like to see some breath work spoke then go into sound sleep noise ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2026-07-28, version 9.1.1* Great app! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-26, version 9.1.1* I love how this has helped me with my sleep!! ### 5/5 — Test *2026-07-12, version 9.0.0* Test ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-05-20, version 8.7.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Deeper sleep on my oura ring!! *2025-12-04, version 8.6.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Improved my deep sleep and REM sleep based on on my Oura ring *2025-07-05, version 8.5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Best sleep app:rated by testing *2025-04-15, version 8.4.4* 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.
