But from the very first night I used it, I woke up exactly at 6am. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Great app with one minor drawback. *2026-08-19* 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. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 ### 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 — 잘 맞는듯요! *2026-08-14* 스윽 잘 깨워줘요 딱 깨있을 때 타이밍에 **Developer response:** 리뷰를 남겨주셔서 감사합니다! 💙 Sleepwave가 딱 알맞은 시간에 부드럽게 잠을 깨워드리고 있다니 정말 기쁘네요. ### 5/5 — Мне подходит *2026-08-14* Приятное в использовании, лёгкое, телефон не нагревает (мой почти пенсионер 13 Про с Капибарой — вовсе не в обиду им, просто факт — нагревался за ночь до состояния раскалённой сковороды). Представленной статистики в виде разбивки по фазам сна и записи всех ночных шумов мне полностью хватает. Рекламы нет. Единственная ложка дёгтя: на мой вкус, не самые удачные звуки для будильника и мягкого пробуждения — хотелось бы больше мягких, плавных, не резких. Только «Пчёлка» +/- то, что нужно. Рассмотрите, пожалуйста, возможность расширения набора :) Спасибо за приложение! ### 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! ### 3/5 — Não capta a real *2026-08-08* Estou usando o app pago há alguns meses. Ele fica na altura da cama c o mic voltado p mim. Ele jura q estou dormindo noites maravilhosas e estou c insônia terrível. Eu me comunico c ele p registrar sonhos q tenho durante a noite ou reafirmar q estou acordada e tentar controlar as horas reais de sono e ele às vezes não registra!!! Porém possui um mapa/ calendário onde pontuo as noites e locais p registrar por escrito o ocorrido da noite e isso é bom. Os sons q podemos co criar c ele p dormir e despertar são ótimos e vejo q buscam melhorar o app e incluir ferramentas de apoio. ### 5/5 — Getting to know myself *2026-08-06, version 4.3.1* I’m fascinated learning about myself while I sleep. The app is easy to use and user friendly. ### 4/5 — Meh *2026-08-05, version 4.3.1* It’s an meh app and has just the right things ### 5/5 — offers way more than what i came for *2026-08-01, version 4.3.1* i downloaded this app just for the gentle alarm, but the nightly meditations and breathing practices are thoughtful and well-made. fantastic app!! i’ve recommended it to more than a few friends <3 ### 3/5 — Just Not for Me *2026-07-31, version 4.3.1* I really wanted to use this app, because I don’t like wearing a watch to sleep to track it, and this was a good option, along with the soft wake up alarms. Except that I can’t use a bluetooth speaker or earbuds or use another app to fall asleep to. Spending the money to find this out was a bit disappointing. Luckily, there was a sale for the sub and I just won’t renew. ### 4/5 — One tweak needed *2026-07-31, version 4.3.1* Love the app, always wake up to the alarm and always seems to work as a smart feature. Please turn off the pop up every time I open it saying “we have a new look”. I don’t want to close it every single time even when it’s not new. ### 3/5 — Very good! *2026-07-28, version 4.3* I use this other my normal alarm, IPhone alarm it helps a lot. Only thing is, the app drains your battery quite quickly. ### 5/5 — Beneficial *2026-07-28, version 4.3* A very helpful app. I wake up more rested and alert. It’s cool to hear the sounds you make throughout the night lol. After using it for a couple weeks, now I find myself waking up within the window and waiting for the alarm to go off. The game is confusing and the meditation isn’t helpful to me but I like that they make it a holistic app. Would highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best sleep app *2026-07-26, version 4.3* Truly helps me wake up instead of sleeping through my alarms ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-25, version 4.3* Been using the free version for a couple of years now, definitely wake up easier than a normal alarm ### 2/5 — うーん *2026-07-24* とても好きなんだけど、音量大きくしないといけない機能はどーにかならないのかなと。 自然の音をカスタムできるのがすごく良い。 **Developer response:** 気に入っていただけて大変嬉しいです！音量に関する問題については、support@sleepwave.comまでご連絡ください。詳細を調査させていただきます。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — No *2026-07-12, version 4.1.1* I just don’t like it because I don’t know how to make a good sleep song 😢😢🥺 ### 1/5 — New Version Is Glitchy *2026-06-25, version 4.0.9* They did an update on the app, added a few things, but since then my alarm has had a mind of its own; changing the alarm sound, volume, and bypassing the gentle wake. I’ve tried deleting and reloading but it didn’t work. Hopefully they fix it, as I used to love this app. ### 1/5 — WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO LOAD *2026-04-10, version 3.2.26* I would have given 5 stars when I first downloaded. I absolutely loved this app. HOWEVER recently the app will open then take ages to show the actual alarm clock set up. Or it will open the app then it will crash to my home screen. It’s extremely frustrating when I’m ready for bed and have to wait 10 minutes for my alarm clock to get set up. Is there a way to fix this?? So annoyed. ### 1/5 — Last version is a total failure *2026-04-01, version 3.2.25* Have used App for nearly 4 years but last upgrade a week ago has onset 6h 35m and no registered sleep 0m. Please fix it asap! ### 1/5 — not as good as before *2026-03-24, version 3.2.24* used to be really good but now it’s super buggy. stuck on loading screen when launched, fails to track sleep, “smart” alarm doesn’t even go off. ### 1/5 — Not as useful *2026-03-03, version 3.2.24* I no longer enjoy this app and it’s quite annoying now. I first began using it last year and loved it now. It wakes me up at the wrong time and wakes me up with the most annoying right tone. It doesn’t ease its way into when I actually want to wake up which it used to. If I wanted to wake up at 6am , it’ll begin a gentle tone at 5:45 but now . It simply wakes me up 15 minutes early and it’s annoying. Even if I place at 6:15 , it still woke me up at 5:45. I won’t be using this app anymore. ### 1/5 — It keeps charging me for premium and i cant cancel *2026-02-08, version 3.2.23* . ### 1/5 — Beware! Killed my phone 2 nights in a row *2026-01-07, version 3.2.22* I have the free version of the app and just wanted to use it for a gradual alarm without the sleep tracking. The first night, my phone was plugged in with the alarm turned on and I woke up 2 HOURS late to a fully charged phone whose power was off?? I literally got a parking ticket thanks to this app. The next morning, I tried again with a backup alarm. I checked in the early morning and my phone was still on. My husband woke me up an hour later, AFTER the alarm was supposed to go off, and it was dead! What is going on, Sleepwave?? Don’t trust this app! ### 1/5 — 1 star for your dark patterns *2026-01-04, version 3.2.22* Stop trying to make me purchase something every single time I open the app. It’s a glorified alarm clock. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение *2026-09-04* Пока все нравится, ночью записывает все звуки, показывает фазы сна, они правда не всегда достоверны , так как считывает их по звукам. ### 5/5 — not bad at all !! *2026-09-02* honestly i wake up super well rested when i use this compared to normal alarms but i usually struggle to get up so introducing features like alarmy (having to take a photo to stop alarm ringing, certain amount of steps) would be amazing sometimes when i start sleep tracking it gives me the option to set a timer so it doesn’t track my sleep for as long as i want, and other days it doesn’t give me that option. it would be good to have that as a constant feature all in all, amazing app and really appreciate that the creators made this free. thank you !!! ### 5/5 — Sleepware Tracker *2026-08-29, version 4.4* Sleep monitor wak ### 5/5 — Great app pay for literally nothing! *2026-08-23, version 4.4* This app is so great you don’t really have to pay for and with what I’ve seen so far. It can record your sleep like snoring the time your awake and asleep. It also has breathing exercises and music for sleep and so much more that has changed my sleep. Download this app is like so good ### 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. ### 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 ### 5/5 — Já testei vários, mas este é o melhor *2026-08-17* tudo funciona muito bem. **Developer response:** Obrigado por deixar uma avaliação de 5 estrelas. ### 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. ### 5/5 — 使いたくなるアプリ *2026-08-16* 使っていて楽しくて今のところ毎日続いてます。以前別の睡眠アプリの有料版を使っていましたが、合っている感じが全然せず、1年プランなのに2週間くらいで使うのをやめました。 このアプリもしばらく使って様子を見ます。 使いやすいし、見やすいので星5です。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
