Sleep Cycle - Tracker & Sounds App Reviews

This is an amazing alarm that usually does its job really well. However, within the past couple of weeks Ive had the alarm fail to go off on a few occasions. I will open the app and the alarm wont even be set. So if you are using this alarm, it may be wise to set a backup just in case. Running iOS 9.3.1 on a 6s.

Wow. I love this app. I dont know how it does what it does, but it works and tracks my hours, how long I was awake and how long I was deep asleep.

I think I have found the perfect combination of alarm clocks. I always set Sleep Cycle to be my first alarm, and another app called SpinMe Alarm Clock as my backup. Sleep Cycle usually wakes me up in my optimal wake up time, but sometimes it just isn’t enough for me and I’ll either snooze through it or turn it off and go back to bed. If Sleep Cycle fails to wake me up, my backup alarm SpinMe will start blaring which can only be turned off if I get out of bed and spin around twice before it finally shuts off! Crazy but it works and I haven’t been late to work since I started doing this. And no you cant just spin the phone around in your hand! Sleep Cycle really does help in waking you up during your light sleep. I can feel it working most mornings. And I have studied the science behind sleep so I can attest that the premise of this app isn’t merely a placebo, but something that has actually been proven. However the problem that this alarm clock doesn’t solve is that sometimes (especially on nights where you get very little sleep), it can be really easy to ignore your alarm clock and really hard to wake up. That’s where SpinMe Alarm comes in, an alarm clock that is impossible to ignore and forces you awake. I highly recommend using these 2 alarms together. Best few dollars I’ve ever spent!

I am impressed with this app. You wont regret choosing this one.

Eases you into morning.

Best alarm clock product available. Been using for a year now.

I like this app, but its strange that only when your phones email is deactivated that you have access to slack, text and other communication means. A bug or an oversight?

Isnt it ironic that the "essential" alarm clock app with 5 star ratings doesnt work? I missed tests because I put my trust in this app. For your safety and sanity, go with a different app.

I love this ap so much! It really helps me keep track of my sleeping patterns and what is and what is NOT working for me.

I am an early adopter. Recently, I find myself disappointed in that: (1) they have not updated the app with new technology, (2) yet, they somehow manage to add defects without adding functionality, and (3) they no longer respond to detailed defect reports. There are better sleep apps, and there are buggier ones. Don’t rely on old analyst/blogger reviews, or those that come after a short test period. Most importantly, if you run into problems, try other apps until you find a better one; it has only gotten worse with this app.

This app came recommended by my son who travels frequently so I could monitor my sleep cycles and talk with my doctor. It doesnt help you sleep but it definitely will help you explain how you sleep or better yet how you dont sleep. Very easy to use and you can take with you wherever you go.

When I heard about this app, I was a bit skeptical. Someone shared this app with me at a conference and loved it. I use it every night and Ive been getting better sleep and with the analysis it helps me understand the sleep quality. Im still unclear what the steps mean but Im very pleased with this app!

I used this app years ago when it first came out. But I didnt really like it, tried it again this week and its great!

Only had the app for a week and I love it. Truly does wake you up when you are in a more awake cycle and its nice that you can see the data. Never been a morning person so when my husband said "I like when you wake up not so...dead", we were in business. Highly recommend!

Awesome!

Ive been using this for years and I love it!

Being able to see how I sleep is great. Now I have something to look at and go off of to help better my sleep. Its easy to understand and use. The alarm clock really does allow you to wake up more refreshed.

Great alarm clock really helped with my insomnia. I would recommend it.

Heard about it a couple years ago m. Finally installed it and its great

This app has helped me have better nights and better mood when waking up. Use it especially if you cant have long nights of sleep!
