Almost perfect
I really have been enjoying using this app. There are a couple things I would like it to do that would make it even better. The first should be pretty easy: have the app categorized under Health & Fitness rather than Games. Most people interested in this app are going to have a crowded Games selection and little under Health & Fitness, so moving the app will make it much quicker to find and use. The second thing I would like is probably more difficult. If possible, I would like it if the app could report sleep data to the iPhone Health app. It’s the only sleep tracker I used prior to Pokémon Sleep, and because of how it keeps the phone active my Health app doesn’t think I sleep at all anymore. The last issue I have is with the day rollover. While I am not having trouble with it now, I was a couple weeks ago during some hard nights. I would go to bed in the early morning rather than closer to midnight, and the game would count my sleep from the wrong day. Sometimes problems arise and people go to bed much later than they want to. I would suggest having the day changeover based off the individual’s assigned bedtime (maybe 3-4 hours prior) rather than whatever arbitrary time it is currently set for. This would make most naps or disorganized sleep times count towards the sleep schedule of your previous bedtime rather the upcoming one, and would overall improve enjoyment for people who have sleep problems.

The BEST GAME i have ever played!!
I have genuinely never written a review for a game before.. that is how much this game has impacted my daily life. If you are thinking about getting Pokémon Sleep, definitely give it a try!! From the adorable art style, the joy I get when it’s time to feed my snorlax, to how much this game has motivated me to have a better sleep schedule (which I have struggled with for years), the game is perfect in all aspects to me. It is such a slow paced game in a way that makes it attractive to pick up every once in a while and it really is free to play unless you are genuinely a hardcore Pokémon Sleep gamer but I have not had it get in the way of ANY gameplay which is great! Also, no ads!! I am not missing out on any of the features and it’s truly a very fun and rewarding game especially when you unlock new areas to explore!! It’s a game that you can check in on once in a while and it will give you joy whenever you play. It motivates you to sleep in a cute and fun way! Seeing my sleep progress all laid out within the past month has been very rewarding. As well as my growing Pokédex collection!! I cannot stress how much joy this game has given me so I strongly recommend it!! If the creators are happening to read this… psst! I would LOVE to be able to befriend my favorite Pokémon, Dialga one day!! Thank you so much for your time and I hope I could’ve convinced anybody who was thinking about downloading Pokémon Sleep! :) -Titi

Pop-Up Haven
Love the idea of this game being a quick lil mission three times a day. I do play this game almost exactly how intended, but I am slowly feeling more averse due to the ridiculous amount of pop-ups and slow menuing. I wake up in the morning to cash in on my research, I want this to be quick so I can get started with my day. There are 4 main tasks that NEED to be done for optimal play at this time: take pictures, feed biscuits, collect berries and feed Snorlax. It took me 6 minutes to do these things as fast as possible one morning. There are no physical mechanics to this game, all you ever do is make decisions and click the corresponding buttons. I’ve been playing this game for close to three months now so all the decisions I do need to make for this game are basically pre determined. A seasoned player who knows the core mechanics of this game does NOT need to sit through the progress pop-ups this game elicits when doing ANYTHING. I have two ideas for settings that would remedy my frustration: 1. A setting that would increase animation/pop-up speed (e.g. x1, x2, x4, x8 [possibly even x16!?]). 2. Add functionality on tap that will entirely skip whatever progress bar is being increased. P.S. This lack of speed is similarly noticeable in the menuing (i.e. going to your pokemon box, sleep point shop or friends’ research). None of these tasks should take over what feels like a second to accomplish.

Fun but buggy
It’s a fun daily game that can be low maintenance, but it can also be really slow and buggy for what it’s worth. They don’t have a report a bug feature in the app so I’m just going to complain here. My biggest issue with the app is how slow the popups are. Every time you level up Snorlax you have to hit Ok 3 different times before you can resume playing/collecting ingredients/sleeping/etc. and it takes at least 15 seconds between each button, which can be a serious pain if you’re trying to play while you’re in a rush (like at work or right before bed). In fact I’ve lost sleep data due to that feature several times when I’m trying to start recording my sleep data. If Snorlax levels up before starting to record sleep data, the pop up will appear instead of sleep mode. If you put your phone down before the pop up appears and assume sleep mode is starting, you might miss a full nights worth of sleep data (like I have multiple times) which results in your Pokémon being too tired to function the next day and no chance to catch new Pokémon. Please fix this issue to make the game faster and more enjoyable. I don’t always have 10 minutes to watch Snorlax level up from basic 3 to great 2 especially if I’m trying to go to bed. Other things about this game straight up do not make sense either. Why is the theme blue if blue light is specifically proven to inhibit quality of sleep, for example? Make it make sense Pokémon.

Keep turning it off in middle of the night
I love the app it’s really cute and I love the inclusion of more than just gen 1 Pokémon I’m so happy to see more diversity in the options and not to mention the professor is adorable and so is the whole art style of the game and I like that there is some stuff you can participate in while awake too that’s a nice touch and it’s a great app defenitly but I do have some complaints Since you can’t turn your phone off while using it that means that the app will turn rgjjt back on if you tap the screen and you also need to have in on your mattress next to you to work so the issue I’ve been having is that I the middle of the night I will accidentally press the screen in my sleep and that will turn off the app and end the tracking resulting in inaccurate sleep results and I’ve also tried setting an alarm with it but because I accidentally turned it off at 2:00 am in my sleep the alarm didn’t go off and I woke up late so my mom had to get me up but I could see this being a problem in the future a single thing such as you have to hold the screen for 3 seconds to end the sleep tracking or just you can turn your phone off while it tracks woild easily solve this problem and I sincerely hope they do fix it so i can get accurate results and the alarm to actually work.

Cute Game But Minor Bugs
I REALLY love this game! I’ve been playing it for almost 2 weeks now and I love the feeling of waking up to see what Pokémon I have found hoping there’s a shiny one. My phone never overheats and neither does my charger thanks to the game dimming the screen or basically putting it in some kind of sleep mode. I’ve see reviews on phones overheating but we move in our sleep so you may have slept on it. Anyways, I do find it nice that there is a game that can track your sleep without paying like certain apps and I can get some feedback and some funny little recordings here and there. With the actual game though, if you take a nap and then go to bed that same day, it will not let you at all because you’ve already slept. I would love to where it let you take naps and also sleep at the same time. But also, I’ve only encountered this once but there was one time I slept from 11pm-10am and when I went to go review my data, it said there was nothing to be reviewed and I lost all that data and Pokemon I could’ve possibly encountered. But it has only happened once. If it occurs more than 3 times, I’m giving my rating a four star. But if you’re reading this please fix the sleep only once a day feature. It can make more people play during the day when taking naps and instead of just playing it at night.

very cute but some issues
I have been a Pokémon fan for as long as I can remember so of course when I saw there was a free app I could get I wanted to. I really enjoy this app overall, I think the different sleep types are super cute and I enjoy collecting berries and trying to get my food the extra tasty rating. But… I have been having issues as well. I’ve been using this app for about four weeks now and for some reason every single time I sleep the tracking stops at 6 hours and 2 minutes no matter how long I actually slept. There was one night I slept for 10 hours straight and was excited to have met my goal but then when I check on the app it had 6 hours of sleep and 4 hours of untracked time. I tried to go in and edit the sleep tracking to let it know I was in fact asleep but it wouldn’t allow me to change it. I’m not really sure what is causing this to happen, I don’t go to sleep at the same time every night so it’s not like my building is making weird noises and I also sometimes stay up after I set the tracker so it’s not like I naturally make a weird noise in my sleep exactly 6 hours into sleeping. Overall this isn’t much of an issue and doesn’t really impact the game much but it’s a bit annoying that I can’t change it and therefore will sometimes have 2-4 hours of untracked time every night.

Poor Decisions and Odd Features
First off, the game will just decide to disable your microphone access with no way to re-enable it in settings. Believe me, I tried, and after being up until 1:00 AM just trying to figure the stupid thing out, I ended up deleting the stupid app and redownloading it, only for it to delete all my data because some numbskull decided not to put a microphone enabling setting in the settings app. The worst part is that the game worked fine for four straight days before this randomly happened with no warning. Another bigger issue I have, aside from the general gameplay being fairly boring, is that this game made to be your sleep companion has absolutely zero issue with flashbanging you with a pure white loading screen whenever it’s necessary. Why? Heck if I know. In fact, bright lights like that are scientifically proven to WORSEN your sleep by making it more difficult to fall asleep after seeing those lights. You would think this wouldn’t be an issue with the app, given that it’s a sleep based app. However, no. This happens multiple times per sign-in, and you will have this display before bed every night you choose to use it. On top of that, if you sleep on a small bed, good luck finding a place to put your phone.

I love Pokemon Sleep
Overall, the Pokemon Company has done a great job with the marketing and side project aspect of the business for a long time now. Unfortunately, GameFreak has fumbled the classic Pokemon titles with recent games like Scarlet and Violet. They have lost the allure that every Pokemon game has had since when I was a kid. Although, the last game that I felt had this same feeling was Legends Arceus. Just something about that game made me happy and excited to create a team of Pokemon. Pokemon Sleep is the first game in awhile from the company that has made me feel the same way. I love tracking my sleep and find it actually helps me to make sure that I am taking care of myself when I push too hard. I have taken some breaks but with the additions of new Pokemon, campsites, and events...I am fully invested. The grind is something I greatly enjoyed from earlier Pokemon titles I played as a kid. This game definitely has that and it has taken me since the release date to get some final evolutions for Pokemon I've had for months. The gameplay is so simple, the art style is gorgeous, and the game itself is a calming experience. If you can be disciplined enough to keep up with tracking your sleep every night with your phone plugged in, you will love this title. Please add Abra :)

Inflexible cash grab
The game seems simple enough. Feed your snorlax, sleep well, and collect the cute Pokémon you see along the way. But to see more and rarer Pokémon, you need to raise your snorlax’s score by feeding it a constant stream of berries which can be done at any point, as well as 3 square meals a day. While it gives you a six hour window to do this, once before noon, once before 6PM, and once before 6AM, between the ingredient number requirements and the fact that you can’t alter these rigid times to fit your schedule, you’re going to find yourself at 12:30 or 6:45 cursing at yourself because you were trying to hold back until you had more ingredients and now entirely missed your window. Add in that if you have a weird sleep schedule, the game may count your sleep towards the next day’s progression, the fact that the game refuses to work outside of what it considers a decent schedule and also expects you to play at least three times a day will make this game go from cute and simplistic to just plain annoying fast. Add in that the game has not just microtransactions for an in game currency used to buy extra inventory slots, but also an optional monthly subscription that lets you access a store that lets you buy the game’s equivalent of a Great Ball, and you have something that just feels more like an insulting cash grab geared towards kids than other related games in the franchise.

Cute game, improve the Sleep features
Love the Pokémon! 1- Dim the screen! Use darker colors so you don’t ruin users eyes first thing in the morning. Also, make sure that the screen goes dark every single time a user is tracking sleep. I have had many many nights where my screen stayed lit all night while tracking sleep. Not good for my phone nor for my sleep. 2- Make stats more transparent after sleep. Oddly, there’s a pop up screen to tell you how much XP your Pokemon team has contributed to Snorlax while away or sleep, but nothing to tell you how much sleep XP your individual Pokémon gained. There’s a quick animation that shows a level bar increasing which is covered by a pop up screen! You can’t even see that! Be more transparent and don’t block features with other features. 3- You know the sleep tracker is not accurate most nights. Devs know this and users know this. Make it possible to adjust the sleep times. No one loses anything in this adjustment, even if people are honest or not, let us adjust! It is the worst thing ever to actually begin sleeping on time and for good hours with good intentions and utilizing what we learned from the app, just for the app to not register two or three hours of our sleep.

Still frustrated.
I know the goal is to have good sleeping habits, but it’s particularly annoying when I forget to start tracking one night, wake up a couple hours after falling asleep, starting a session then, and then being unable to track my full night’s sleep when I go to bed on time and remember to start the app. Appreciate the shortening of the animations or allowing to skip at least before going to sleep (hence 2 stars instead of 1), but tracking sleep sessions is frustrating because a 24 hour timer prevents me from getting credit for my full night’s sleep. Especially when it happens on the “good sleep” nights that happen once a month. I suppose I’m supposed to just miss the whole night of sleep and add it in after, despite it yielding much less benefit than if I were to start tracking in the middle of the night and actually get something out of it. Feels like kind of a backhand for wanting the benefits of the sleep I’m actually getting, but missing because I forgot to start the app. I’d be willing to pay for a feature that allowed me to just import the sleep tracking that my Apple Watch already does for me. I’d forget to put my Apple Watch on significantly less often than I forget to start the sleep tracking. It may not look as good because the sleep tracking would be more accurate, but at least I wouldn’t miss out on the benefits of the game.

Game features are fun but not reliable for sleep tracking
I got this more for the game features, but don’t think advertising as a sleep tracking is truthful. The app doesn’t track sleep well, as long as it is in running in sleep mode it thinks your asleep even when you are not. It definitely regularly records my dog snoring and assumes it me. You cannot use other apps for noise while using without it kicking out of the sleep mode. I have anxiety and adhd so noise is a big part of nightly routine and helping me fall asleep and stay asleep. I generally have noise that turns off on a sleep timer to help me calm down and fall asleep that not possible with to do that if so need run the noise on my phone and run this app. I could purchase another device but I personally don’t like hauling a bunch of devices if I can do it all with one. I also don’t feel the app is accurate because it doesn’t sense that much motion and it not taking heart or oxygen rates into consideration. Which is acceptable for game but not something advertised for sleep tracking. I also agree the app cause the phone to run warmer which is also a concern since it is recommended the phone needs to be on next to you on a soft surface. While fires started by devices are less common now there still is a risk factor. I think many of the obstacles could be overcome and I hope future updates will address these issues.

Great Concept Rendered Useless by Lack of Health App Integration and Watch Compatibility
I am very bad at sleeping and most sleep apps give me absolutely no incentive to sleep beyond boring graphs. This was a dream come true. EXCEPT. You can’t use the sleep data from the health app. You can’t use sleep data from your watch. You have to leave your phone screen on all night, facedown on your bed. Not on your nightstand! Because a hard surface will affect how it works apparently. That’s how you start a fire. My phone is going to overheat and I’ll be on the news and they’ll say I shouldn’t have left my phone on my bed. The fire hazard increases greatly if you’re charging your phone while it’s running sitting on your bed all night, if your cord even reaches that far. Plus, with the way I sleep I do not want my multi-hundreds of dollars iPhone with in range of my tossing and turning. It’s going to get launched into the next room. GREAT NEWS, however, for people who want to spend extra money! They sell their OWN external device for somewhere around 50 bucks you can use to track your sleep. You mean to tell me you can’t take my watch data but you CAN sell me your own external device that does the same thing? Idk maybe I’ll buy it I’m desperate for sleep. But I absolutely hate having to leave my phone on all night on a SOFT SURFACE for battery and fire reasons, plus it interferes with the health app tracking because the screen is on.

Needs More Features
I like it overall but requires you to remember to set things up before you sleep. Also another issue is not everyone has a standard of appropriate sleep so it’s kinda hard to advance in the game if you have disrupted sleeping, not needing the average sleep hours or just other sleeping patterns, habits and or disorders, that just make it hard to advance. In order for some features it requires you to use a device sold separately which tends to end up under me and I never get appropriate data for so many reasons. I’m not sure if you can track sleep by using your phone near you I question fire safety with that. But overall I really wished it had interventions with health apps such as the apple & google health apps which have other sleep data collection ect. It be nice to have sleep data to be both added and taken from these services to help the app. As often times I have my watch on when I’m asleep collecting data hands free and effortlessly it be a added bonus to have that data be used as well in the events I forget to set up the required sleep collection method. Overall it’s fun for a bit and the Pokémon go integration is a bonus and a bit more incentive, but the app gets old and boring even with the events. Work on the sleep collection and the app would vastly improve.

Please add Failinks to the game!
You added Failinks to Pokémon unite, so do it again in Pokémon sleep, and give it a unique ability, like sometimes it will get what ever material you want but it will have 20% less berries/ingredients. Like sending a trooper on a mission and the brass focuses on the usual stuff. Each time the ability activates, you get a mission charge, which can be used from said search. Also please make us so that the brass and five troopers are walking around like separate troopers and make all of them deposits what they find individually. A least add them, they are my favorite Pokémon. Just an idea so please read this, I think a lot of people would really like this. The sleep styles are all up to you. But if you need an idea, try something like duodrios lookout sleep where the brass is protecting the troops by staying up to keep them safe. Please read this and add Failinks such a cool fighting type. I see no reason why Failinks (aka my dude) should be only in a combat game, and not a sleep game because they are cute fighting types as well. With all reasons said, please consider my idea. (And maybe if you think it’s good then send me a Failinks incense and a master biscuit when the coding is done😉.)Love your app bye.

Nice Sleep Tracker! With a few minor problems…
This is on it’s way to becoming the next popular Pokémon game, but they’re are some minor things I want to point out. First, the app doesn’t work without internet, but you can turn off the internet after starting your sleep session, and turn it off before ending your sleep session if your worried about that. When you are on a vacation is somewhere with no signal for more than 30 hours, than you can’t track your sleep. A positive thing to point out is that if you forgot to track your sleep data for one night, then you have 30 hours to recover your sleep data. Second of all, if you forgot to plug in your phone at night, then the app uses lots of battery. A lot of sleep apps that I know of only uses 30% battery at night, while this app might use that in an hour! If you charge your phone at night, though, then you’ll be fine. Thirdly, the premium subscription is way too expensive, so think about whether you need it or not before buying it. Finally, on the App Store, this says that this is a simulation game, but this is actually a health and fitness game. I would recommend changing the category to that on the App Store. Pokémon sleep is still a great app to use though, if your fine with all of the stuff that I mentioned!

Cute but awful controls
I love the app, it’s incredibly cute and offers a free version of what many other sleep apps charge money more (most notable the alarm that tries to wake you up during the light parts of your sleep cycle so you don’t interrupt a deep sleep and wake up tired) HOWEVER: The controls are simply awful. If you thought you could just swipe across the screen to look around and view your camp, check on your pokemon and cook for snorlax, get ready to frantically swipe your screen, because for SOME reason, the scroll speed is less than half of your typical 1:1 swipe and scroll ratio. I don’t know if they did this to make the scrolling more “smooth” (if anything it only made it choppier because i have so much trouble scrolling around the camp) or if they did it to make it more “lazy” and “sleepy” but i would like to simply be able to log on, set my timer so i can go to bed reasonably fast, and be able to wake up and tend to the pokemon quickly so I can start my day and get to work. But for some reason i have to swipe around 3x more than i would on any other app just to look around and scroll up and down. And collecting berries from pokemon? Good luck, because sometimes the game lets you swipe the pile of berries to gather them, but MOST of the time it just scrolls the camera instead! So you have to TAP. EACH. INDIVIDUAL. BERRY. TO PICK THEM UP.

Decent game, could use improvement
I’ve had Pokémon sleep for a month now, I enjoy the game/sleep tracker but there are a few things they could improve on to make it better. The shop limits for regular 1 point poke biscuits is ridiculous, we should be able to buy whatever we need if we have the points for it. I’m constantly running out, I guess I just like to collect everything. Secondly the premium pass doesn’t offer enough benefits to justify the cost. The good camp set is awesome but we only get one with the premium pass? We should be getting 2 at the very least, more is always awesome. Prices for purchasing diamonds is the highest I have ever seen across all of the Pokémon apps, I’ve spent quite a bit on Pokémon Go but the prices on Pokémon sleep are too high for far too little diamonds to justify buying any. Also it would be truly amazing if we had more poke biscuits given as rewards. Another feature that would be nice to have would be for tired Pokémon that aren’t being used often to regenerate energy while they are in the box. I hate seeing so many sad little Pokémon’s but I don’t have the means to make all of them happy without ruining my progress for the week.

I wanted to like this game.
1) I am using the pokemon go plus + I ordered for $60 to track my sleep. It appears to know that i slept form 9pm to 6:30am, but for whatever reason it keeps calculating it to 4 hours of sleep. I dont know if it was the interns job to do calculations for this or something but for whatever reason it only captures the time slept from 9am -12am, I am guessing that someone did the math wrong. The app still says i slept from 9pm to 6am, but it doesn't know how to calculate that correctly. 2) Not being able to connect your smart watch is a missed opportunity and will be the reason this fails. Im sorry but the dumb button is not good enough to track your sleep and the app fails to calculate sleep correctly anyways. The whole gimmick here is that it can track your sleep and give you data, but if that data is useless there really is no point to the game. Its cute, but the cuteness wears off and the app is just not practical. With the data being poor and the inability to add your watch to track the game, it is basically shovelware meant for you to spend your hard earned money on micro transactions to get cookies to catch different pokemon. In conclusion, dont buy the Pokémon go plus +, and be prepared to be disappointed by the poor performance of this game. I know it hasn't been out for long but it seems like a lot of work is needed to get this game to a point where its worth playing.

Gacha Pokémon I guess
With some issues in the mechanic balancing of the game (Pokémon energy and such) that seem to be noticed to be addressed in the future by the team; it leaves the impossibility of achieving anything without spending money. Catching/befriending pokemon in this game is such a slow process that leaves you feeling dissapointed in the AM. You collect berries, cook, and track your sleep for this anticipated reward of getting Pokémon visiting to potentially join your team. Except you can’t befriend any because you only have one to two biscuits, which are never enough without a Pokémon being flagged as ‘hungry’. I have the pass and still feel like I’m struggling to keep up with the enjoyment of what this game has to offer. And of course the shop prices are INSANE. Like, crazy prices for what you’re ‘getting’.. The game takes clear advantage of your love for Pokémon to make money and feels very reminiscent of the issues with gacha games. A speaking of gacha; you basically roll stats/skills on Pokémon that make it either good or bad with insane milestones to access them. So catch that pichu that finally showed up from last week (if you slept the correct style again) and it has terrible stats that makes it not helpful at all other than having it be cute. A very obvious gach-eque tactic for money which is extremely sad to see on a Pokémon game.

Is your sleep less than perfect? This game hates you personally.
TLDR: Pokémon Sleep doesn’t care that disordered sleep exists and if you suffer from it, the game is *actively designed* to be less fun and engaging because of it. I have spent 421hrs sleeping along with this app. And in those 421hrs I have slumbered. I am just a slumbering girl and I cannot change that about myself. I have sleep-related disorders and am getting the healthiest and most regular sleep of my life, but the experience of this app remains underwhelming at best and unfun at worst because of how my individual human body works. And that’s incredibly disappointing! Pokémon Sleep actively punishes players who have particular sleeping patterns, or at least puts us at a severe disadvantage and ultimately makes the game unfun. I have seen the same dang Pokémon over and over again, and there is literally nothing I can do to change that. I keep using this app in the hopes of being able to complete the dex, but after 421hrs I now believe it’s impossible because the game is designed so rigorously around completely impractical and unrealistic expectations about sleeping health. If you have well regulated sleep, congrats and enjoy completing the dex because evidently your experience is the only one that matters to this app’s developers. Pro: Microtransactions are, at the time of writing, entirely avoidable.

Great Idea Poor Execution
I’ve been playing this game for about a month now and I think it’s a great game, it does its job of trying to get me to get more sleep. The main issue I see with this game is the feeding and collection of resources, right before you go to bed if you want to upgrade your snorlax to get better sleeping pokémon when you wake up you have to spend fiveish minutes clicking on stuff and making snorlax food. This is a great feature and all except when i’m about to go to sleep i’m very tired which makes doing this section of the game very demotivating and feel like a chore, the pokémon all have animations you have to wait for, usually your bag is full so you have to go make snorlax food and then continue picking up resources, it’s just altogether very boring. Another issue i’ve found is the time it takes to evolve and level up your helper pokémon. As I mentioned before, i’ve been playing for about a month, so far i’ve evolved one pokémon which was my totodile to a croconaw, this took me three weeks to do and ontop of that i used all of my rare candy items i received from quests on him. The process is very slow and parts of the game feels like a chore when i just want to go to sleep and hopefully find a shiny pokémon the next day.

More of a fun game than a sleep tracker
At first, I thought it was a silly game. I thought it was a little weird that it can track your sleep with just your phones microphone. It tracks your “sleep” and it gives you something fun when you wake up to look at in the morning. I don’t think the sleep tracking is accurate, but it doesn’t need to be. It gets what it needs, which is when you actually fall asleep and it kind of listens to you to see if you’re snoring or moving around but these kind of differences doesn’t really change the components of the game. This is definitely more of a game than a sleep tracker and the game is actually pretty fun to get into. There are a lot of menus and options in the game so in the beginning it was a little confusing to understand how to navigate & use the game. After about a week and a half of using the game I actually really enjoy it. Going to sleep is a little more exciting and getting the full eight hours for the game and waking up to some new content is pretty nice. I wonder how long this will be addicting for but right now I absolutely love it and I’ve been using it every single night.

Great potential for lasting gameplay
Pokemon Sleep has a great concept to track sleep in a way that rewards users by gaining helper pokemon, completing a sleep-style Pokédex, and feeding snorlax and helper pokemon along the way. The downside to the algorithm is that gameplay does not allow for people who work different shifts (ex. Night shifts or 24hour shifts) to benefit as much as individuals who have a traditional work schedule during the day to progress through the game (risk to damaging sleep score / sleep consistency as your bedtime may not align with the developer’s ideal sleep schedule). I use the pokeball plus+ device to track sleep but I have used the smartphone to track sleep. One suggestion would be to have a “grace period” for accidental knocking the phone or pokeball plus+ device off the bed during sleep or accidental turning off the sleep tracker. If you go to bed on time but due to rolling over in your sleep you deactivate the tracker, it would be helpful to the user to be able to reactivate it within a couple mins without it taking away from the data collected. Otherwise you’ll end up with 2 separate sleep sessions with lower scores.

Great app! But can’t listen to music :(
I absolutely LOVE this app so far. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks straight now, and my only issue so far is that I can’t listen to my sleep playlist while tracking sleep for research. I have a very specific type of music to help me lower my heart rate which is very important as a person with insomnia. I don’t much care for the “relaxing sounds” provided with the app, but since the app has to be left open to track for research, I thought I might be able to just use my music subscription in the background. Sadly, every time I start the music and return to the game for sleep research, my music is unable to play in the background. Maybe if you can’t allow background apps to play music, you could offer different options for the music that plays while tracking sleep. I, personally, can’t stand music that I can tell is on loop. It reminds me of being left on hold on a phone call which makes me angry and anxious, which makes me unable to sleep. If the background music option or alternate sound options was made available, this app would immediately get 5 stars from me!

Good game riddled with flaws
Ok first off, I will say that this app has helped me with getting to bed consistently and waking up feeling refreshed. And some of the pokemon sleep styles are kinda cute. But that’s where my praise ends. For starters, if you are a phone user (like myself), there seems to be an inconsistency when it comes to actually tracking sleep. I have had several nights where that app says I've woken up at like 5:30 or 5 in the morning when in actuality, i wake up at 6 everyday (except on days off where the same problem happens). I tend to be a restless sleeper and thought at first, my problem was bouncing the phone around in my sleep. But since I try to move less now, I still have the same tracking problems, but am now locked into getting exclusively slumbering type styles. Balancing type if I'm lucky enough. I’ve even thought about getting the Go+ device but from the reviews I've read even that has its problems with tracking. If I knew it wouldn’t botch things further, I’d just simply put it on my bed shelf behind me but that’s not the intended way to play. I want to keep playing as full moon sleep and new pokemon are coming soon but this whole not tracking sleep thing is really swaying me towards uninstalling…

Pretty basic failings
It falls short in some of the basic tenants of game design in its tutorial sections. Namely: it forces you to give a rare and highly valued item to Pokémon you probably don’t care about. Emphasizing the importance of a specific item and then forcing users to choose between three Pokémon they don’t like is just a recipe for a bad experience. And frankly, one that is plainly obvious to anyone with a little bit of foresight. We are guaranteed one of the starters on our first night, let us switch to the starter so we can max our friendship with a pokemon we give a crap about. That’s supposed to be the whole point right? The reports take way too long to review, usually because of screens that are slow to fade in, and frankly just way too many screens to go through. So far my experience with the game has only been frustrating (too slow and forcing me to give crummy Pokémon the master biscuit) I just can’t see why I’d waste my time with this game. The tracking is bad, it says you can record two sessions a day but it really only means me because if your session goes across two days it counts for both of those days. So your sleep counts as both a night session for the day you started sleeping and a morning session for the day you woke up. Thought I’d be able to record mid day naps as well, given the wording explicitly says TWO SESSIONS a day

Disappointed
If you have a white noise maker, listen to music, or ASMR to fall asleep forget it. Even with headphones on the game can’t tell the difference. I was really liking this game except for the fact that if you played any sort of music or video to fall asleep to other than the ones in the app it doesn’t record your sleep. I was a little bummed but whatever, it still records a sleep duration and you can still play most of the game. Or so I thought. For your length of sleep you get a “sleep score” and that is how many “sleep points” you get for free use in the general store. I don’t know if they just start you with so many I didn’t notice for the first month or if it worked and then broke in an update but I am never awarded “sleep points”. The game works by recording the sounds/movement you make when you sleep so I get it not wanting to record if there music playing except, I’m wearing headphones! AND I’m still being given a sleep score! Support pretty much said that if the app is in the background it’s completely non-functional. If it is the active app it mutes anything else that was playing. So if you can’t fall asleep to the few soothing Pokemon tunes that are available, or complete silence, move on.

God Awful Tracking and Destroys Batteries
The app complains if your phone moves too much or not enough while you’re sleeping. It then proceeds to TELL you that you weren’t sleeping and alters when you were “asleep,” based on terrible tracking. If your phone falls off your bed while sleeping, you get severely docked points. If you have a rough night, it severely docks you and states that you weren’t sleeping. If you have a partner that sleeps with you, and THEY move, the app docks you severely for that as well. It will tell you that you weren’t sleeping, but if you try to manually edit your sleep data, it won’t let you because it “already has sleep data,” even though it claims you weren’t sleeping. To make things even worse, it will DESTROY your phone battery. Your phone must be plugged in overnight or your phone will be dead by morning. The app prevents your phone from actually locking and sleeping, so it is constantly charging and can’t charge optimally. Over the course of one year, you will lose over 20% of your phones overall battery life and because of this app, it will void the warranty on your battery through Apple. So if you need a new battery, you better delete the app and hope the Apple Genius doesn’t pull up your app history and see that you had it, because they will refuse to warranty your phone.

Not enough pokeballs, items too expensive compared to GO
Even with having the subscription, there is no way to get enough pokeballs to be meaningful. It’s honestly discouraging. I like this game, it’s fun and does encourage me to go to bed on time, but the rewards just aren’t there. You should at least be able to get 3 pokeballs a day without a subscription. With a subscription like 5 would be nice. Also the cost of diamonds vs how much you get is way out of proportion. It’s frustrating. You get 20 diamonds for discovering things, but the smallest box is 600. Even in Pokemon Go you get 50 coins for holding a gym for 8 hours and the coins are worth way more than diamonds. Plus outside of random chance, there doesn’t seem to be a way to earn diamonds after all discoveries are complete. So you spend $50 on a subscription for only 6 months and you get a boost only enough to guarantee 1 pokeball a day at 150 sleep points and the 100 point balls are limited purchases that take way too long to reset. I really like this game, but the cost for things is SO VERY out of balance.

Potential
I’ve been “playing” this for over 3 months. This is my second account bc I lost my first one after getting a new phone. It never prompts you to create a sign in or link anything. That sucked. What I don’t like, every morning if feels like I’m spamming start buttons. It takes so long just to get to the Pokémon. It feels like I keep tapping start, okay, go, etc etc. next is a big bummer, I’ve muted all sounds and whatever else I can do. It still pauses whatever I’m listening to until I close out the app. This drives me insane. Next would be, I want to be able to turn the vibrate feature off when collecting berries. And I think the worse is watching friends get to see the craziest spawns and shinies while i consistently get 100 sleep score and see 3 spawns of the same thing in the same sleep postion while in masters. It’s ridiculous or either I’ve just had the worst RNG for months, week after week of just trash spawns. Maybe it’s because I won’t spend money. Who knows. It could be fun because I do love Pokémon and I don’t mind playing grindy luck games. and it’s a cool idea but all these little things are adding up to basically me not enjoying this game and considering uninstalling because it’s stale even though they keep doing events.

Great game but I suspect a flaw.
Great start to this really cute and fun idea for a game. I love the concept. The art style is adorable and everything runs smoothly. I really wish that it had the compatability to receive sleep data from an Apple Watch because I’d much rather wear my Apple Watch to sleep than have my phone by my head. So, since this is based on basically the quality of your sleep and duration, people who have narcolepsy like myself may never be able to fully enjoy the game and all of its Pokémon. I know I personally will NEVER hit 8.5 hours of sleep therefore I will never reach 100 points a night. It’s one thing to be a short sleeper, but even short sleepers can have better quality sleep, meaning more time in slumbering mode. I will NEVER be able to befriend any of the slumbering type Pokémon associated with deep sleep because I will never have that be the majority of my nights sleep type. It’s just the way it is for me with narcolepsy. This makes me sad and also a little frustrated because it’s not fair really. This probably wasn’t even thought of during the development process.

perfect!
As an autistic person who has a lot of trouble getting motivation to go to sleep on time AS WELL AS get a good amount of sleep in general this game has already helped me so much only a few nights in, i love it so much and i’ve already gone from going to bed from 5-7am and waking up at 2-5pm to going to sleep from 12-3am and waking up at 10am-1pm. May not sound like much but i’m not even a week in and it’s helped me progress that much. I figured that it would drain battery percentage as well, as I normally go to sleep with my phone on a lower percentage and charge it up to 100% overnight. However, I leave the app open all night and wake up with my phone at 100% as usual! I love all the features and thinks you can do in this game but I especially love the bedtime stamp card feature! And the fact that it works weekly. I can wean myself into an earlier sleeping time hour by hour till i’m perfectly in schedule to get a good night’s rest! Thank you so much pokémon team! :) P.S. I don’t use the premium version, and it still works amazingly. I think that alone is worth admiration.

Good at what it does but some design flaws
I genuinely think this is good at tracking sleep but overall some genuine design issues. When using the phone you risk it falling off the bed which happened to me and cracked my charger and the Pokémon go plus + is not an option for me because that also would fall off the bed and never be seen again as well as I own a ferret which would stash the super small piece of tech and it would never be seen again but not everyone does so that’s just a me and a few select people problem. They haven’t taken into account people who move and fidget a lot in their sleep and hit and kick things around them. I tend to move my arms and hands a lot and roll a bunch which is what caused my phone to fall and crack my charger. Honestly I’m happy I’m able to track my sleep and play Pokémon at the same time but those issues needs to be addressed which those could be a massive turn off for lots of people. If they made it to where you could put it on the nightstand or pair with an Apple Watch or something that attaches to the wrist that would be better than a little disc that would be sent into the depths of under the bed. Edit: fully broke a charger, absolutely needs to be able to be paired to a smartwatch.

ruining my screen time averages
i’ll preface this by saying i do really enjoy this game, i’ve built up a nice little collection of cool pokemon, and it’s a nice change of pace from other pokemon spin-offs as it’s not focused on powering up pokemon to use them in battle. i’m sure everyone knows at this point that you have to keep your phone open in order for it to track your sleep. usually the screen dimming is enough to make my phone not count my sleep time as screen time, but sometimes that mechanism seems to just… break. it’ll randomly add 4-7 consecutive hours to my screen time, which will cause my daily average for the week to SKYROCKET. i try to keep my screen time under 7 hours every day, and it’s really really difficult to track my progress on that when this game alone has been responsible for 7 hours of screen time. i know for a fact it’s not anything i’m doing physically. my phone stays face down on my bed all night, i’m not doing anything to flip it over or mess with it in any way. i don’t know if a notification will set it off or something, but it’s extremely frustrating ending up with 10-12 hours of screen time in a day because of this game.

Bad & greedy
Puts inventory at a pay wall. You’re punished for wanting to reserve some items. You get the free in game currency very rarely and it’s not enough to pay for anything (including Pokémon storage and your item box). They had a recent event where you had to check the general store every day to grab an item that was 0 diamonds. I missed this event the whole week because I didn’t realize it was every day and there was no notification dot or indication that there was anything free to grab from the general store. It forces you to check it on your own and puts you in the habit of going into the store to hopefully make purchases. It’s predatory and disgusting and I’m annoyed. Why wouldn’t y’all just send free rewards in the mail for us to claim when WE want to or something like a login bonus/stamp card? It’s DUMB that you don’t have a notification dot or indication for free items. It makes me think that you don’t want us to have them in the first place. Which is why inventory is behind a pay wall. I cancelled my membership and I wish I could refund the $200 I spent on this game. Don’t bother with this app, use a real sleep tracking app instead of this game that pretends to be “healthy”. No real healthy app promoting real good health would be as cash grabby and predatory as this.

Terrible game and predatory marketing
I really wanted to enjoy this and I gave it a fair shot, but there's too many issues that can't be overlooked. I used the regular app for tracking the first week, and it would only count 3/7 hours that I slept, if at all. I did exactly as the app instructed me, left my phone on my bed next to me while I slept, yet it didn't properly capture, even though it didn't record any sounds. Another issue is the inability to listen or watch anything with this app open. It FORCES you to either sleep in silence or use the terrible stock "sleep sounds" they provide; just make it so that you can listen to something, there are PLENTY of apps that allow for recording/microphone usage during video/music streaming. The cash grab is probably the worst. It's 1$ for a poke biscuit (you will on average use 1-5 for baby Pokémon and 10+ on evolved Pokémon). So you have to spend on average around 5$ just to even capture a Pokémon that you randomly encounter after sleeping, and that's without taking into account leveling candies (idea from Pokémon go but more poorly executed), which also cost money. Everything progresses too slow, which is why the game keeps highly incentivizing to pay for the premium pass; yet the premium pass barely even gives you enough either.

Really quite amazing and fun
Pokémon Sleep has really helped me to keep a healthy sleep schedule. I am an autistic kid who struggles with healthy habits, and I used to get about 4-5 hours of sleep each night. With Pokémon Sleep, I am motivated to get more sleep each night! For me, the tracking system works very well and helps me learn more about my sleep patterns. It also has music, and I need some noise to help me fall asleep. I am happy with all the features to play with in the morning, even though it is called Pokémon Sleep! Pokémon Sleep is very helpful, and it only just released. I am excited for many updates to come! What I would recommend for future updates: For there to be a shorter minimum, about maybe 50 minutes, because what if you are just taking a quick nap or if you want to sleep a little bit longer after you wake up, but not for long. And I know there are already sleep tips, but can they appear more often and are based on your sleep data? Those are the things I would like in the next update. Anyway, 5 stars for Pokémon Sleep!

A few key problems
First off, as someone who sometimes struggles to keep herself to a bedtime schedule, I love the idea of this app. It makes me *excited* to go to sleep, which is something I can’t say for myself in the past. However… I have two big problems with this app. (I actually don’t mind the phone on the bed thing.) 1. I hate that I can’t play other audio media at the same time as I track my sleep — I usually fall asleep to white noise or podcasts so this has been a huge adjustment for me. If there was an option to turn off the app tracking noises in a trade-off for allowing media to play, I’d do that in a heartbeat. 2. The system that determines which Pokémon come visit you is pretty disappointing. I currently am sleeping on a softer mattress than I’d like, so that causes me to toss and turn a lot in my sleep because my body is trying to minimize the strain that the mattress is putting on me. Because I can’t buy a new mattress right now, this means that almost all of the Pokémon I’m seeing are classified as “Dozing.” I’ve seen so many repeats and I’m starting to worry I won’t see a lot of the Pokémon in the game, just because of my current circumstances.

Love the game, but simple changes would help…
I really enjoy this game, but when using the pokemon go plus plus device, it is really easy to accidentally activate sleeping mode and record a sleeping session that is inaccurate. I often accidentally record a short “sleep” session when the device is in my bag or my cat walks on top of it when left on my bed and that short session then counts as my primary sleep session for the day and my pokemon get minimal energy to use the next day. My real session that night does not count towards giving my Pokémon energy because only the first sleep session of the day counts. I wish there was a way to delete accidental sleep sessions. When the app tells me in the morning that I have 2 sleep sessions to review, it would be easy to give the option of deleting one of them if the person wants to. I’ve wasted many sleep points on pillows or just having to swap out tired pokemon for less ideal ones because of these accidental sleep sessions. Please consider adding the option of deleting a sleep session if the person wants to!

Pretty good
Honestly a really fun app. I already had a fairly decent sleep schedule in terms of hours but now I’m better with sleeping at relatively similar times (obviously some days are different based on if I have school or work) and I like that they updated the bedtime thing so you have 2 hours worth of wiggle room which if you time correctly can effectively act as two bedtimes. My only complaints right now after some previous updates and confirmed future ones, is how I wished the friend list had better stats like showing when someone was last active as right now it’s pretty difficult to tell without actively checking each person which obviously is time taking. Besides that I just have one other thing to say which isn’t even a complaint really, I wish there was a way to change a Pokémon’s nature as sometimes I’ll find a Pokémon with really good sun skills but their nature completely ruins it or a shiny Pokémon who’s nature just makes it not worth having on the team compared to someone else

Too expensive
I know this is Pokemon but this game is way to expensive to play. The premium pass doesn’t seem worth $50 dollars every 6 months and $100 dollars a year for what you get from the premium pass. On top of that the amount of sleep points you earn per night is not enough to be able to get biscuits or food items when you’ve run out. I think it’s nice that we get one free biscuit but since the game allows two sleep sessions you should be able to get one free biscuit per sleep session. Also getting 3 gifts every 3 months for the premium pass is also silly I guess that’s to try to push the 5 month subscription vs the monthly one. The game is cute and fun and I know it’s not meant to be rushed it’s a sleeping game, however it’s way to slow paced and again, hard to keep up with the demands of the game like feeding your snorlax when you run out of ingredients so fast and aren’t able to gather them fast enough. Also not being able to encounter certain Pokémon due to your sleep style isn’t fair to people who might have sleeping disorders. At least make an item that attracts certain Pokémon from each sleep style.

Pay to win
It is very much pay to win because even with 100% sleep (of 8.5hours) every night, you arent earning enough currency to keep buying biscuits nor is there a way to earn more while you sleep unless you pay for premium. That said, i HAVE premium (free trial) and STILL arent earning enough so the last option is to buy diamonds for more biscuits or expect to only get a pokemon once every few days. It's very disappointing and makes premium very lackluster for a $10/month charge when it hardly helps. I initially thought the premium shop (for cheaper items Like biscuits) reset once a week to buy more but that is monthly reset as well so doesnt provide a sufficient amount. If you are more patient than I am, you may be able to look past this but pokemon has always been about catching and raising and this doesn't feel like there is much reward in participating in an app to stalk your sleep patterns. Also, hungry pokemon is a rare occurrence but i feel my game isnt always telling me when they are because i randomly get boosts when feeding sometimes and wasting free biscuit for this lack of knowledge.

Loving the game, but please fix this flaw.
Having spent a significant amount of time exploring Pokémon Sleep, I can confidently attest to its unique appeal and innovation. The game does a stellar job in merging the captivating world of Pokémon with the indispensable act of sleeping, creating an experience that is both engaging and beneficial to one's well-being. The mechanics are well-conceived and align beautifully with the game's objective. It’s a nice calming and cute game that has a smart twist. However, there's a particular glitch that occasionally mars the experience. On waking up and attempting to conclude my sleep session via the "end sleep session" button, the game occasionally indicates that no sleep data has been found. This invariably results in a failure to log my sleep, rendering me unable to undertake sleep research for that specific day. Such technical setbacks detract from an otherwise delightful experience and I hope to see a resolution soon. In summary, Pokémon Sleep showcases a commendable fusion of gaming and health. With a few tweaks, it has the potential to be a seamless and rewarding experience for all users.

Pets Mess Up Results! (need ability to overwrite data or review it if it’s inaccurate)
So far I think this is a really great app. I love how cute it is, and most importantly it helped me fix my sleep schedule. The only thing is, my cats sleep next to me a lot. They frequently mess my readings up because they lay or walk near my phone. It thinks I sleep lighter than I do because of all my cats movement and noise, and sometimes it will say that it took me two hours or so to fall asleep when in reality I konked out in less than fifteen minutes. I’m getting hours worth of time taken off from my sessions some days which results in me not getting a maxed out score when I should have. There isn’t really anything it can do to tell if it’s your pets or you (it can also give inaccurate results if you sleep with your partner so you have to watch out for people too!), so I just hope in the future you can overwrite sleep data, or be able to check if the time it took you to fall asleep was accurate.

Ironically stalls the process of getting to sleep
I downloaded this because I love Pokémon and I thought that, more or less, this app would be a cute little sleep tracker. Because of this, my first two sessions with the app have been immediately before bed. I didn’t anticipate just how long and tedious the tutorials would be. I found myself clicking through the tutorial process on my second night for, like, 20 minutes before I could actually get to the page where it lets me start my sleep session. Out of all the projects the Pokemon Company has made, I’d think it’s a no brainer that the only one which you SHOULD NOT overcomplicate and add excessive features to, it would be the sleep-tracking app. Even if you do want to add all these features, there should be an option to just skip it all temporarily and come back to it if you’re in a hurry. That said, I’ve only used it twice, but I’ve found it annoying enough to leave a review, which I don’t do for a lot of apps. PS— the “relaxing sleep music” is REALLY annoying. Like borderline unbearable. Idk what circus freak would find it relaxing but it honestly just made me angry. I’ll keep trying the app and see if I change my, but as it stands I am unimpressed.

Cute But Unusable For Me and Others
I think this app is very cute and a great concept. I understand wanting to use the microphone to record sleep etc so that it is accurate, but I cannot use it because I need rain sounds to fall asleep, like a lot of others. The app does not allow white noise or anything to play while it is open, so it makes it unusable for me and a lot of others. If there was a way to change it to allow background app sound play or to start a sleep session and then close your phone with the white noise playing , and after your sleep session end it, then I would love that. I was super excited to use but it just is unusable for me. If you could make it so the audio recording function is an option and that the app just needs to press start in order to record sleep and stop to end, instead of having to keep it open and your phone open with no option for background music. I really hope the developers take these suggestions into consideration, because I know a lot of more people would use it and it would be more accessible. Thank you!

It’s cute, but I question its tracking accuracy sometimes
I downloaded it because I like pokemon, and was looking for a sleep tracker to figure out my insomnia. I enjoy all the “game” parts, as it’s light and fun, and I enjoy collecting the pokemon! However, while the sleep tracking is OK, I’m not sure how accurate it really is, at least in the 3 stages (light medium and deep sleep). There’s definitely been mornings where I forgot to tell it I’ve woken up until and hour or two later, but when I look at the tracker, it thinks I was “snoozing” during some of that time. Or, there are nights that take me an hour or two to fall asleep, but the tracker thinks I fell into deep sleep within 10 minutes of laying down. Again, I’m more just tracking when I go to bed vs wake up, and don’t necessarily want deep accurate tracking of sleep stages, nor did I expect that from a Pokémon game. But if that’s what you want, there are better apps. This is just a relaxing idle-adjacent game to wake up with or wind down before bed, and does a nice job at being exactly that.

Great app, could be better!
I love this app. Ever since I got it on release day, I have been using it to track my sleep. While I don’t have too many Pokémon, I get a lot of repeats, every night it encourages me to go to bed earlier so my helper Pokémon get more energy, I get more sleep styles, and sleep points to spend in the store. I also like the meal feature and how it changes. The addition of shinies is a good feature, I got a shiny ekans recently! However, I think it would be a good idea to allow your Apple Watch and it’s better sensors to communicate with Pokémon sleep, and vice versa, so if I miss a day, my Apple Watch still would have recorded it so I could still get Pokémon. If you guys released a real sleep tracking device with all sorts of sensors like heart rate, microphone, as well as the sensors in the phone like the microphone, light sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope. I don’t get how other people dislike this app, I like it. No, it isn’t perfect, but it’s still pretty fun and I like incorporating it into my bedtime routines. Keep it up Niantic and Nintendo!
