1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   cant start without 7day premium. cant choose not no start with premium

2. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   completely unskippable "free trial". I should not have to give you my payment information to use the basics of this app. Stop forcing people to sign up for the "free trial" just to open the goddamn app. I was looking forward to trying this and am extremely disappointed. Cant use a single feature without signing up. Sleep Cycle has an AI slopbot now so I was trying to avoid them but this is just as scummy.

3. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   What is wrong with you?. I couldn’t even open and check the app due to your “free premium for 7 days” promo! I don’t want to have this and I couldn’t, because I don’t have any credit card information. Just deleted.

4. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Apple Watch issue. Thought I was trying this out for free for seven days only to find that it doesn’t work with my Apple Watch. The app does not open on my watch interface Needs to say I’m not gonna continue the subscription and plan to cancel before the seven days are up

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Does not work. Almost every night I have had an issue with this app. I continually have to re-analyze my sleep, given many options to choose from. How would I know which to choose since I was asleep? That’s what the app is supposed to do for me. Also the alarm is hit or miss. Sometimes es it works.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Can no longer open on my watch. The latest update made the app useless. It lo longer opens up on my apple watch so I can't get accurate tracking data.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Money. I’m my world u gotta have good money to b healthy which I do not. Too expensive .

8. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Not working. I couldn't even get help from support. Each morning there is a message apologizing for not being able to analyze sleep. When I reached out to support the had me leave the chat to check for other messages and I couldn't get back to the chat after that.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Sleep Tracker. It does vs not record my sleep like it should

10. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Must sign up for free trial. I don’t like that the apps makes you sign up for premium free 7 day trial before you can use the free version

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    how do i exit the subscription thingy. I cannot get access to the app because the x disappears

12. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pay wall. I’m so tired of apps requiring a subscription especially when they are just using data your IPhone already tracks and puts it in a different format.

13. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Scam. To get to the free version you need to start a seven day trial and to do that it needs your credit card so it basically payed it’s a complete scam don’t buy.

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    gross to force you to start a free trial to access the app. i do not want to pay for a tracking service for my sleep. it is so shady (and frankly sounds illegal) to force people to start a free trial in order to use your app. it’s also sleazy that this was advertised on a lock screen on my phone. i was interested because i have so much trouble waking up in the morning, but i’m really angry about how sleazy the business practices seem here.

15. ★★★★★no way to manually correct a sleep record

    Looking for something better. This app only works if you buy the premium subscription; I can’t access my sleep records without purchasing a subscription. I will be looking at other options. I shouldn’t have to pay to track my sleep.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t track Correclty. Unless you sleep in your Apple Watch, this app will NOT track sleep correctly. So far, I hate this app and am going back to my trusty Sleep Cycle app that I’ve used for years.

17. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Not working anymore. When I get up for a bathroom break it does not recognize I went back to bed and asleep.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Waste of money. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this useless app!!!

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Useless. Useless

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    No free option?. After setting up the app, I cannot do anything anymore since I am bombarded with a nonclosable screen telling me about the free trial for the premium version of the app. I don’t know if I want to try the premium version yet, first I want to try the normal version of the app but that doesn’t seem possible. If the app requires a subscription, that should be made more clear before downloading and setting up, this feels slimy and greatly annoying to me.

21. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    “Free” yeah okay. I can’t use a single thing on this app without paying. It won’t even track myself for me automatically. This app used to be amazing but every update you lose a free feature now I can’t use anything

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Doesn’t track sleep well. I sleep with an Apple Watch. This app is constantly telling me that I only got three hours of sleep when I know for a fact I got at least six. I used to use another app that worked better, but the other app (SleepWatch) refused to let me opt out of sharing my health data, so I don’t use that app anymore. Unfortunately it worked a lot better at tracking my sleep than Pillow does

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    .. Refuses to let you use the free version unless you sign up for the trial.

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Crash then forced premium??. I have used this app for years. I stuck with them when they removed several of the features and put them behind a paywall. Then things got buggy. Recently it got so bad it wouldn’t even connect to my Apple Watch, so I deleted the app and reinstalled to see if that would fix it. Now it’s forcing me to do the trial for premium… can’t get past the nag screen. Absolutely vile. You’ve lost a loyal customer.

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Can’t use app. Originally this app was decent and I enjoyed using it. I never paid for the subscription or did any free trial. I haven’t been on the app in some time, and when I go onto it, it forces me to agree to a free trial. There is no x, or not now option. The only options i can click is to see what’s included, to start the free trial, or view the terms and conditions. This is highly frustrating. I have updated the app and closed out of it several times, but there is no option for me to even use the app.

26. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

    Greedy paywall app. I tried the free trial and instantly canceled afterwards The fatal flaw here, you have next to none access to any features? It’s absolutely crazy you can’t even open your own sleep reports in detail??? There’s nothing you can do in this app at all unless you pay So I respectfully say to anyone reading this, this app isn’t worth your time. You are just wasting effort and time on developers who are too greedy to lock up basic features behind paywalls

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Useless after DST. This was working permanently fine until daylight savings time now it’s not recording the proper amount of sleep. It’s saying I’m taking naps when I’m not even taking naps. At this point, I’d be better on going back to the Rise App even though it didn’t count my work schedule or that I don’t go to sleep till 11 o’clock at night and get up at 5:30. At least it is more accurate. Canceling Subscription

28. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    poor accuracy. Needs a lot of work. I was in bed for 7 hours and it claimed I was in bed for 3 hours and 21 minutes.. Poor accuracy.. This needs to be fixed asap

29. ★★★★★inaccurate results and incorrect data

    Free is unnecessarily restricted. You don’t get proper sleep tracking, fine. You don’t get any sleep aid sounds— stupid. I can run any other app and play music or sound. You can’t pick custom alarm sounds despite clearly being available in the app. I don’t think losing access to Clair De Lune is compelling me to break out my wallet, so why bother restricting it? You offer nothing special or unique for free over the basic iPhone alarm. If I got some kind of tracking, and then occasionally when I could afford a sub for deeper tracking, that could be interesting. However phones and even watches are notoriously inaccurate for sleep tracking. Don’t waste your money. And please don’t respond to this review. It’s condescending.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Only tracking or recording sounds works, not both. I have attached this to my Apple Watch to get detailed tracking, which works great if I do not try to record sleep sounds as well. When recording sleep sounds the sleep tracking just gives a solid line all night saying I was in deep sleep the whole time. Per the app these should work together. Despite following all their instructions the sleep tracking and sound recording do not work together.
