No sleep inconvenience. Easy to follow instructions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible, painful test *2026-08-15, version 4.3.1* This is a poorly designed test. The inflatable finger sensor cuts off blood flow making your finger throb and cuts off circulation. I had to rip the test off in less than an hour. There’s no way possible to sleep with a throbbing finger, and this is supposed to be testing your sleep? Hard to do that if you aren’t sleeping! Total garbage. ### 1/5 — very i’m comfortable! *2026-07-22, version 4.3.1* oweeeee the finger sensor was so tight and kept me from sleeping well. felt like my finger was burning and throbbing all night. i’m a female. i don’t know how a man’s fingers could handle the pain. i am exhausted now and my finger still hurts. battery was dead that was shipped. they didn’t provide any medical tape or a bandaid to attach cheese sensor so i had to delay test to deal with those challenges. i hope after all that that the results are useful ### 1/5 — Wasteful! *2026-06-09, version 4.3.1* This company tells you to throw out the monitoring equipment from the test after a single use rather than just return it. Shockingly wasteful ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2026-05-03, version 4.2.0* It doesn’t work. Followed all instructions but the problem is the iPhone idles apps when not in use and this app won’t actually run in the background so you won’t be able to get the study data. It’s a nice idea but poorly executed. ### 1/5 — 0/10, would rather die in my sleep than do this again *2026-04-25* Genuinely I think that was the worst night’s sleep I’ve had since I had COVID and was unable to breathe the entire night. For the hardware- The device that goes on the finger nearly completely cut off my circulation. My finger was throbbing and I had to move it in the device throughout the night in order to keep it from hurting. The adhesive on the pad that connects to the chest was good in the way that despite how many times it fell off for me, whenever I put it back on, it stuck to the point where I felt JUST secure enough in it to be annoyed when it came off again as I tried to find a comfortable position to sleep in. The instructions to turn off all other electronic and bluetooth devices, paired with the fact that you cannot put the application in the background and must leave it on all night, made it so I couldn’t use any of the usual methods I use to fall asleep. No sleep sounds, background audio, anything. The instructions I was given verbally also mentioned I should not be sleeping on my front, which is the only comfortable position for me. Overall, the device and the instructions given made doing this sleep study the worst sleeping experience I’ve had in half a decade. I CANNOT recommend this. 0/10, would rather die in my sleep than do this again ### 1/5 — Communication Error *2026-04-24, version 4.2.0* It can’t connect to watchPat one. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2026-04-15, version 4.2.0* The app is glitchy and this makes setting up difficult. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-04-11, version 4.2.0* Really disappointing experience. Awful user experience. Incompetent customer service. Concerning any medical professional would recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Watch pat *2026-04-11, version 4.2.0* The battery provided did not work. Used my own. Could not get the system to sync even with troubleshooting. Could not complete the study ### 1/5 — Your tax dollars at work. *2026-04-07, version 4.2.0* I’m trying to help my mom but after multiple devices and multiple batteries, it still says it’s undetectable despite my phone directly touching the watch. A cursory look at the reviews makes me think it was never designed for the new sleep study devices and they don’t care enough to make it work. No doubt it’s more slop to put people into debt slavery to a healthcare company. Deny defend depose never forget those 3 Ds of for profit healthcare ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sleep study *2026-08-24, version 4.3.1* It was simple to understand and not a lot of wires to attach,so I recommend using this ### 5/5 — Poor start *2026-08-23, version 4.3.1* Encountered difficulties starting, the app showed wait and the ball spun for five minutes.
