APP STORE REVIEWS
“I struggle with waking up in the morning but this app has made a world of difference. Most alarms are jolting but the gentle wake feature is PERFECT. It always wakes me up gently before the true alarm goes off. Much better way to start my day. The tracking features are also amazing. Definitely recommend!”

### 3/5 — Flawed.

*2026-08-22, version 4.4*

This is a good app, but it seems a major flaw surely is easily solvable. Forgetting to swipe on wake up wipes all the nights data.

### 1/5 — Takes 2 minutes just to open the app

*2026-08-22, version 4.4*

Used to think this was a great app, then they added pay walls and premium to it and started to make things super slow for the free version. Takes way too long to open, it’s a joke.

### 5/5 — I can’t believe it’s free

*2026-08-21, version 4.4*

I have a hard time waking up in the morning and this alarm has replaced one that I have used for several years straight. I couldn’t believe how good it was when I tried it out the first few nights. I wake up feeling fresher, and the app is such an easy one to use. It’s a great help and I highly recommend it.

### 4/5 — Great app with one minor drawback.

*2026-08-19, version 4.4*

I love this app and it truly is one of the best sleep apps I have used so far. The only thing lacking in this app ( and the reason I rated this 4 out of 5 ) would be the option for vibration for the alarm. I am hard of hearing and completely deaf in one ear. I am a side sleeper and sometimes I am asleep on a side where I cannot hear the alarm. The vibration would be excellent to wake up someone like me or even someone that is a super heavy sleeper. I do hope the developers see this and I look forward to this being a new addition in an update soon.
* Edit to add that I wish there was a way for it to not be so easy to toggle AM/PM on the alarm. I have accidentally toggled PM for an alarm and not been woken up at my target time which is incredible frustrating!! I would pay for these features. The app is so good and those small details would make it 10/10. Please read this app developers. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.1*

It’s was good

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-18, version 4.3.1*

This app cured my really bad sleep inertia with their smart wake up buffer time of an hour, I wake up feeling normal again & I feel so much gratitude to the creators of this app, I have my life back

### 4/5 — Love This App!!!

*2026-08-17, version 3.2.26*

I really needed to monitor the quality of my sleep! Now you get 5!!!

### 5/5 — This app helps me be less tired

*2026-08-17, version 4.3.1*

Sleepwave is the only app I found that allows me to wake up at the right time in my sleep cycle (and track my sleep) for free! I use it every day during the week and love it.

### 3/5 — None

*2026-08-12, version 4.3.1*

Pretty stupid place to put the am/pm switch

### 5/5 — This is great!

*2026-08-10, version 4.3.1*

When I set an alarm for a desired time, I manage to wake up at exactly that time! And there is no extra costs for this as well. All basic features are free! That’s the exact best part of this app! I have been searching for THE app to help me track and wake up properly for months after months, and this is the one!
