However, after a while, the alarm stopped working whenever I use the sleep recording feature. It seems that the iPhone considers the screen to be in use while sleep recording is active, and as a result, the alarm simply doesn’t go off. I’m a bit disappointed, especially considering how much I paid for the app, as I’m unable to use such a basic feature: recording my sleep overnight while still having the alarm work in the morning. ### 4/5 — Doesn’t always track. *2026-07-28, version 8.7.4* For instance sometimes I wake up in the morning. Do something and go back to sleep. It stopped tracking my sleep after that. Even tho I’ll sleep to 1pm on an off day. ### 3/5 — buggy *2026-07-26, version 8.7.4* doesn't always record my sleep ### 3/5 — ★★★☆☆ Not tracking my full sleep *2026-07-21, version 8.7.3* I’ve been using SleepWatch since it first launched, and my biggest concern is that it no longer tracks my entire sleep period accurately. For example, I went to sleep around 11:00 p.m., woke up at 3:00 a.m., stayed awake for about an hour or two, then went back to sleep until 8:49 a.m. The app only recorded the first period from 11:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. and completely missed the second part of my sleep. That is the main reason I’m giving it three stars. A sleep-tracking app needs to capture the full night, especially when sleep is interrupted and then resumes. I hope the developers see this and can explain why the second sleep period is not being detected or help fix it. I had also forgotten about the snore-recording feature. I remember using it years ago and do not recall having to manually start and stop it each night. I also did not have Premium last year, so I am not sure when that changed. Overall, I like the app and have used it for a long time, but the incomplete sleep tracking makes the results difficult to trust. ### 2/5 — Freezes Up *2026-07-19, version 8.7.3* Like it but it keeps freezing up on “how rested do you feel” - it’s maddening so I’ll be deleting the app. ### 2/5 — Sleep chart no longer works *2026-07-19, version 8.7.3* It was a good app until a few weeks ago it no longer gives me a sleep chart and it’s a paid subscription. Will look for a new app 👎 ### 2/5 — Freezing up *2026-07-17, version 8.7.3* I’ve used the app for years. But now it freezes as soon as it opens on a paid screen and won’t let me look at my sleep won’t let me do anything. I close it out reopen it in a different screen pops up and freezes on it so I close it out and do it again, but it won’t let me look at my notifications. It won’t let me look at it won’t let me do anything. ### 4/5 — Good but glitches *2026-07-17, version 8.7.3* Almost every time I try to use this app when I wake up, it does the “how rested do you feel?” Question but the screen like mutes the color and I can’t click on anything, normally closing the app and reopening it works but right now I can’t access the app at all, I have tried to go in from my apple watch and it wont let me. ### 3/5 — Too many Ad pop ups *2026-07-16, version 8.7.3* It is a good app for tracking sleep, however i have the free version and every time I open the app it tells me to buy the paid version and it glitches my screen and i’m not even able to open the app. It is not worth it if you don’t have the paid version and you are better off using the health app! ### 3/5 — Freezing the last few weeks *2026-07-14, version 8.7.3* I’ve been pretty happy w the app overall but lately it keeps dimming and freezing, becoming unusable. ### 3/5 — Too Complicated for Beginners *2026-07-10, version 8.7.3* The app has a lot of features, which is great, but it can feel overwhelming when you're using it for the first time. There isn't much guidance to help new users understand where to start or how everything works. Once you get familiar with it, it seems useful, but a better onboarding experience would make it much easier for beginners. ### 1/5 — iPhone app freezes *2026-07-09, version 8.7.3* I can never check my stats on the iPhone app because it gets stuck on the page asking me how I slept or if I want to upgrade to premium deleted it ### 3/5 — Freezing *2026-07-07, version 8.7.3* I’ve never had this issue until lately. Everytime I open the app it freezes. It won’t let me do anything. ### 1/5 — EVERYTHING is Paywalled *2026-07-05, version 8.7.3* Literally everything is locked behind the paid upgrade. I would expect to have advanced reports or analysis locked, but the most basic functionality of a sleep recorder app is to record your sleep. You can record it - but if you want to play the recording you have to pay extra. Had this app for one night and deleting less than 24 hours later. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-03, version 8.7.3* Smart awake only with subscription ### 2/5 — Great except big flaw *2026-06-30, version 8.7.3* This seems to be great but every morning it sends me a notification to check my sleep and when I click it it has to process the sleep for an undetermined period of time. That’s like saying you have a funny joke but can’t share it. Why are you wasting my time? Fix this and five stars otherwise it’s just another annoying app sending notifications without doing its real job ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing *2026-06-30, version 8.7.3* Since I got my new iPhone (17) the app crashes every time I open it. I have tried uninstalling and installing the app but it keeps on doing it. ### 3/5 — Great Data, When it Works *2026-06-29, version 8.7.3* For several years, I used SleepWatch with no issues and it really helped me get to sleep I needed. However, for the last few months, the app has been glitching and I even tried troubleshooting with customer service and to no avail, it kept glitching. I don’t have time and I need you to continue to troubleshoot for months on end. ### 1/5 — Great if it would actually open. *2026-06-27, version 8.7.3* When the app opens it’s wonderful. This has got to be one of the buggiest apps I’ve ever seen. It almost never opens! I can’t look at my progress because it won’t get past the beginning screen. So disappointed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Really? 🦠 *2026-08-03, version 8.7.4* The free version shows ads including a fullscreen advertisement saying that my “device had been hacked” and I need to click a link to “cleanse my computer”. You’ve got to be kidding. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me; no data appearing, just pause to refresh *2026-08-03, version 8.7.4* Sorry to have to quit. I have my old sleep app on an old phone (SOS only) and my data appeared on that phone immediately. So, can’t be my watch! This is night 2 with nothing. Too bad, looks like a nice app. Troubleshooting tab doesn’t help. ### 1/5 — Do not download! *2026-07-30, version 8.7.4* I downloaded this app because it was recommended by a search to record myself as I slept. I used it one time! And cancelled. Then, I got a notification that they billed me $40! If you want a mid-tier sleep app and have a ton of money to waste, go ahead. If not don’t even do the trial because once they have your info they will bill your card whether they are supposed to or not. Then shunt you to Apple or Google to dodge any responsibility. Also, watch one of their ads, if you can, and tell me, does a good psychiatrist need to have an ad that causes you a bunch of distress to make you call them? No. Money grubbing pos’s ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-07-23, version 8.7.3* Every time I open app it goes to a greyed out screen with no ability to get off that screen. Totally worthless to me. ### 1/5 — Never been able to make this work *2026-07-22, version 8.7.3* I don’t understand how this app is ranked four stars. I installed the app and never seen what to do next. Apparently the only option is to record the noise you make while you sleep. I thought I could record something about the long list of parameters I accepted to be monitored about in the long multistep setting procedure . However No indication what to do next. So only + start. Ok start what? You have to keep your cell phone nearby. Never been prompted about installing the app on my Apple Watch. Still don’t know how. Finally I pushed START +. The user interface is confusing : you click start audio monitoring your night and there’s is no clear indication that you are monitored . A big button says slide when finished. “ finish what” I slid It anyway it says “how was your night?” (30 seconds night lol) ok it meant finish my sleep! Then No option to restart : the day was lost for the app. After a while the second day morning, it freezes and no way to get out. I uninstall it never been able to get one little piece of data about my sleep. Many option to invoice you I’m sure those works very well, but I will never know. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-07-21, version 8.7.3* It just hangs. Don’t bother. ### 1/5 — Great when it works *2026-07-16, version 8.7.3* Free version is impossible. When I open the app in the morning, there is always a question of how fatigued I felt, however, it’s grayed out and will not allow me to click anything. Consistently deleting the app and re-downloading just to get my data. ### 1/5 — Super glitchy *2026-07-14, version 8.7.3* App is often unresponsive ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2026-07-14, version 8.7.3* App keeps freezing when I open it ### 1/5 — Broken App *2026-07-09, version 8.7.3* I can’t not access my results as the app freezes on the screen asking if I feel refreshed after sleeping. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Getting More Sleep *2026-08-15, version 8.7.4* This has made a difference in my sleep habits. Getting more sleep has given me more energy and I feel less foggy in the late afternoon. ### 5/5 — THE best *2026-06-24, version 8.7.3* Used for years and it was brilliant. Bought new i-phone 17 and this app wouldn’t work. Contacted the developer and who sent me a detailed list to check on my new phone. Service has been outstanding! Thank you as I’ve never found an app as good as this one. Now works perfectly!! ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-06-12, version 8.7.3* So far so good, they fixed an app ruining glitch pretty quickly after I got it and it shows a lot of information about your sleep ### 5/5 — Insightful app *2026-06-04, version 8.7.2* I check this app every morning after I wake up. It is always fun to go through the data. Note- for those who get stuck on a dim screen that can’t do anything. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Health > SleepWatch and press Turn on all. ### 5/5 — Horrible *2026-05-18, version 8.7.2* I’m not able to check my results it want even let me touch the screen ### 5/5 — Bestes Apple Watch Design *2026-05-06* App ist toll und das Design der Watch Komplikationen ist fantastisch! Alleine deshalb schon für mich ein Grund die App weiter zu nutzen. Leider vermisse ich ein Jahresabo. Man kann nur Monatlich bezahlen. Würde gerne schon für 1 oder 2 Jahre bezahlen. ### 5/5 — Review after one day of usage *2026-04-30, version 8.7.2* Earlier review was in haste. The product seems better after continuous use ### 5/5 — Snores *2026-03-27, version 8.7.2* Tracks sounds well ### 5/5 — Helpful but could use custom tags *2026-03-04, version 8.7.2* UPDATE 2026/03/04 - two days ago I had a pacemaker implanted by my Cardiologist. The app has no way to address that heart rate will never dip below 60. Original review: Add me to those who would find the tagging feature more useful if I could create my own tags. ### 5/5 — Helpful but could use custom tags *2026-03-02, version 8.7.2* Add me to those who would find the tagging feature more useful if I could create my own tags. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
