Smart Alarm Clock : sleep cycle & snoring recorder App Reviews

I read a variety of mixed reviews; but Ive been using this app for a few days now and I love it! It helps me track my different sleep cycles, plus lets me know how much time Im actually resting, versus just sleeping. One of my favorite features is the recordings of the sounds I make while asleep. Its interesting to hear how much I talk in my sleep. Now I know why I can sleep 6-7 hours but still wake up feeling tired. My only request is that I can print out the graphs so I can share it with my sleep doctor. If you do that Id give it 5 stars instead of 4.

Just downloaded the app for free via promo. Havent used yet, but immediately disappointed by graphics. App uses 2x scaled iPhone graphics which looks blurry on my iPad Air 2. I lost all desire to give it a try. Must fix resolution.

Thanks

I am loving this app! The variety of music you can download the amazing! So headings and with 3 - 10 different variety within that heading! Tracks sleeping/sounds during your sleep. Breaks it all down...quality app for sure!

It works well although Ive only used it once so far, and without the recording feature. Suggested features: add it to the Health app so that it can sync with it, and so that it can print out your recordings or you being able to share them. Also more default music and just an alarm option with noting extra (not sure if its already a feature or not) would be nice. However, I do like this app more than I thought and it has some pretty good sounds and features already.

For those of us using VoiceOver, which is the onboard screenreader for iOS, this app is at this time unusable by the blind. While most of the elements can be read with Voiceover, it is impossible for us to be able to set the alarm, which is an important part of making this app work, affectively. Perhaps in a future release you may want to consider making the hour and minute set-up into picker items that are easily operated with the single finger swipe up or down for VoiceOver users. I highly encourage any and all app developers when developing apps to perhaps take a little time in getting educated on the accessibility options under settings, and learn about such things as Zoom for magnification, VoiceOver for speech and braille output, and assistive touch for those who may be motor impaired. Yes, even blind people have sleep issues, some of which is due to light deprivation. So, with that in mind, this app could be a help. However, with accessibility issues as they are, we are being left out. Hoping this problem will get better, since this is a possibly great concept in helping us maintain a decent sleep cycle with a refreshing wake up. There are other access issues with VoiceOver as well, such as one or two impropperly labeled buttons. One of which I managed to surmise, added time to the soothing sounds for nodding off. Another one was a button that said "down-arrow." Not sure what that was for. But, since I was unable to affectively set up the alarm and so forth with speech, its hard to tell if this can be useful. Hope this gets better.

I have a terrible time waking myself up because I live in a household of light sleepers. I use to use a bell alarm, but I can no longer do so. Now I use this app in combination with an app on my smartwatch, and Im able to wake up on my own early in the morning without waking others in the house. I use the birds sound turned down low and vibration of my watch to wake up. Truly unexpected solution, but it works great.

STAY ON A SCHEDULE look in the morning on ur graph to c how u slept.U may need a nap or more or less sleep keep a diary how u feel each day.This has changed my life !!!!!

I have used this app for three days… The first day he gave me two cycles a deep sleep, but the other two days, I had zero deep sleep. Even days that I had light sleep, sometimes he gave me over the 85% needed for "good" sleep, so I think I may be a miss using the statistics feature. Or not putting the phone in a good location. What I KNOW I love is that it wakes you up at the proper time of your sleep cycle… I have awakened very easily and refreshed the last three days… And I do love the huge variety of alarms and music to fall asleep by.

Its exactly what I want. If it could only record when I made noise that would be awesome but my dog is loud. Still a 4 star app.

For everything this app can do, from easing you to sleep with a huge "chill-out" sound library, to tracking your noise and movement to give you an accurate awake, light sleep and deep sleep ratio, to its namesake which gently wakes you into consciousness. This app is THE sleeping/alarm app that is really helping me monitor my sleeping patterns and helping me wake up feeling more refreshed than any other alarm ever has. Theres even different alarm modes including a power nap alarm to track your midday naps to help give you a boost!!! I highly recommend just trying it out for a week or so especially if youre someone who finds that theyre having trouble sleeping or are waking tired or feeling tired in the middle of the day, or just really appreciate sleep!! At the very least it will give you helpful insight on your sleeping patterns and habits.

Ive used Smart Alarm for well over 4 years now and it has been absolute perfection.

Harder sleeping surfaces (e.g. Futon) makes it hard for iPhone to pick up "stirring" in the night.

Love it! Genius app. Now I just need something to go me to sleep sooner.

App is great w recording sound when youre sleeping. So if you snore & unaware youll find out. The stats too re: deep sleep & light sleep are invaluable.

When I first downloaded this app it broke up the night noises into many different audios. Now its just one long recording which is very annoying. You cannot pause this recording, you cannot fast forward or rewind. Its aggravating to set and listen to one long recording without the option of skipping through. I dont know what happened to this app, but it needs to be fixed to where it will not pick up as much of the white noise. Make it to where you can adjust the level of mic level and where you can fast forward, rewind and pause. Then I will fix my rating.

You have the accelerometer set to be way to sensitive. Ive been in deep sleep and been woken up by you guessed it, exactly 30 min before the time set. Please have a setting for sensitivity, might as well use a normal alarm clock over this.

Love this app, it helps me make sleep a priority. I just wish there was a way to shut off the snooze function and customize the chill out track time

Ça marche bien mais le nouvel icône est très moche

Was a great app at first. I bought it and enjoyed it for year. Disappointing that it does not sync with HealthKit from iOs : I think we waited long enough… Developers should do the maintenance.
