I just download this app yesterday morning (5/28) and have went through all the settings. I took a 2+ hour nap and timed it. It was off by so I adjusted the sensitivity. Went to bed last night and it was only off by about 8 minutes (going to sleep) and I adjusted my middle of the night bathroom break time this morning in the other portion of settings. Over all, once I find my perfect combo of tweaking, this one is going to be the best sleep app for me of all of them I’ve tried (and paid for 🤢) You have to be patient and perfect your settings for the best possible accuracy. The other thing I’d like to see is a combined hour and time of hours/minutes slept a night IF one has gotten up in the middle of the night instead of it being broken up. That’d make it a 5 star app for me.
I don't know what the negative reviews are about, but they inspired me to write my own. I've tried a lot of sleep apps, and this one actually works like (or better than) my old Fitbit. There's no way to know the real accuracy, but after I adjusted the sensitivity, it matches my recollections of my sleep, including how long I was awake reading, better than any of the other apps I've tried. As for other apps: AutoSleep is just inaccurate unless I tell it when I'm going to sleep, and it says you need to have the complication on your nighttime watch face, which is basically the same thing. Pillow wants me to tell it when I'm going to bed too, and then refuses to work unless my battery is like 60%. Since I charge it in the morning when I'm getting dressed etc, that doesn't work for me. This one, SleepMatic, works great.
My best friend and I both loaded this application over a girls weekend...the information from the first nights sleep was amazing...love the layout and the heart rates etc. The second night both of our watches were dinging almost hourly telling us to either stand up or breathe...ALL NIGHT LONG ! I have called Applecare and they state that it is s third party app causing the issue...and suggested either turning off the reminders for stand and breathe before going to sleep and turning the reminders back on each morning or NOT wearing the watch to sleep...that’s a work around I’m not willing to do :-( As soon as the developer fixes this problem I will reload the app.
This is definitely worth the investment. I’ve recommended it to my family. Helps me track apnea episodes n compare to my weight n exercise+meditation regimen. My doc likes reviewing my results when I go in. I’ve found that I have fewer apnea episodes when i weigh less n exercise/meditate more. Duh, i should’ve known this. Need more time with my swordsmanship. As Miyamoto Musashi said of the sword ... This Is The Way. Especially at 53. I wonder what it will be like with series 7 or 8 watch assuming spO2 measurement improvements. I highly recommend this over the others in the market. I rank this number one in the top 5 in App store! Pillow n others were a waste of money.
I started looking at the clock when I wake up during the night so I could compare data with the sleep app. It does not count my wake episodes. I adjusted the sensitivity and it hasn’t improved. My fall sleep and wake up time isn’t correct either. I also do not like that I have to have WiFi on for the app to record my pattern. I sleep with my wrist by my head and do not want the WiFi signal near my brain. I had a free app that worked without WiFi on. It sent the data to my phone after I turned it back on. I just didn’t want the advertisements that came with the free app. I might have to switch back and deal with them because it recorded my info more accurately. Sorry, I really don’t like to post negative reviews. Funny it won’t allow me to post unless I have more stars. I only wanted to give 2 but it keeps saying my nicknames are all taken.
I am suffering with sleep issues and wanted to try apps that tracked sleep, I used for a few nights and got no deep sleep rating, so I did a blind test and got my wife to wear it, so same watch, same bed different person. I wanted to see if it really saw deep sleep. It does it tracked her and saw the deep, rest etc. On the bad side shows had bad my sleep is, but I know the data is true as we both show completely different sleep patterns. Then I emailed support, it turns out I can fiddle with the settings. Once I lowered the sensitivity, my sleep data is showing up correctly. I am happy, just wish the instruction is easier to find, but otherwise it is a great app.
This app allows me to do at home with my iPhone and Apple Watch five, what i used to have to go into a hospital to do. I can sleep in my own bed and get the same data that used to require me going into a hospital, getting hooked up to a bunch of wires, sleeping on a very uncomfortable mattress at an hour that was not normal for me, and having people wake me up every two hours to untangle me from the wires I had gotten wrapped up in. This has been a huge asset to me and my doctor to help figure out my health issues. It is well worth it to purchase the premium version, and to invest in an Apple Watch. It is the future Of health, longevity, and proper diagnosis and treatment.
I downloaded this app in anticipation of getting my watch so it would be ready to go when it came in. I have the 3. Set up the watch as per direction, paired it with my phone and all my apps were there including this one. Set up the app everything looked good. Wore my watch to bed and had a horrible night of sleep. I’m not sleeping well and wanted to see how much rest I’m actually getting. Woke up and checked the app on my watch. No data. Checked my phone. No data. Synced my watch to my phone again. No data. Ok maybe I did something wrong. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Second night I had the app open in my phone and on the watch (as much as you can leave an app on). Wore my watch to bed. Slept better so I thought for sure it would have something. Still no data. Phone- no data. I have now uninstalled it and purchased AutoSleep app. Don’t waist your money.
I have had this app for a couple of years now. For the most part itworks good. I don’t like that the wake time is not always accurate. When I change the time to reflect my actual awake time, it doesn’t change the number of hours slept. I have made adjustments in settings, it don’t change anything/ I appreciate that it tracks my sleep, if I’ve had a restless night, I can see that with the app. I will continue to use the app despite the flaw.
I’ve tried like four different sleep apps for Apple Watch and honestly, none of them hold a candle to what Fitbit provides. I made the switch from Fitbit to Apple Watch and just assumed that Apple Watch would have similar (if not better) sleep tracking. Not the case. BUT, this app gives you the best data and has the closest layout and information to Fitbit. It doesn’t try to be too fancy, but it gives you good data that’s easy to read. Only downside is that there aren’t longer trends within the app. I’m only seeing a 7 day lookback so far.
Does what I need it to do, but it’s far from perfect. It registers as sleep when I’m not sleeping. For example, when I wake up, pour a cup of coffee, and sit down to read my email, it will continue as sleep. This can be manually adjusted, but it shouldn’t need to be. I have tried sensitivity settings to no avail. When viewing a night’s sleep, it’s difficult to correlate my sleep with my heart rate because the bar is the same dark blue as the background, so I can only see the bar within the sleep segment, but I can’t see exactly where it lines up with the heart rate, so I have to guesstimate. I have sent more than one request to support asking them to add some contrast between the bar and background but never hear back, and it hasn’t changed.
I tested this to see how accurate it is. I read several good reviews but was still skeptical. I need an app that actually tracks my sleep/is close enough to accuracy. This app has been “tracking” misc. hours. For starters, I haven’t been wearing my watch each night, so it can’t be tracking my resting BPM however each notification daily says it is, magic! Obviously this is not possible. If that’s not bad enough, it also told me I was asleep yesterday for 2.1hrs in the middle of the day when I was at work where I am actually nonstop so it couldn’t just be a glitch. I don’t trust it for tracking my heart rate because it never matches what my watch tells me either, and for the other mentioned reasons. Not worth the money in my opinion.
When my Fitbit finally died I wanted a way to track my sleep with my new iWatch. I tried a few apps that basically wanted me to tell the app when I went to sleep and when I woke up. Pretty lame compared to my recently departed Fitbit. SleepMatic filled that gap by collecting heart beats via Bluetooth and calculating my sleep. SleepMatic syncs automatically to the Apple Health app so I can track all my data. Now I just have to remember to charge my watch during the day so I can track my sleep each night.
Currently comparing several sleep apps. This is less accurate than a couple others, for example overstating amount of time in bed and categorizing that as restless sleep and undercounting awakenings. Also, it does not show deep sleep. Too bad one cannot try out an app before buying. Update: Developer wants me to adjust sensitivity to obtain better results. While I can alter the data by changing the sensitivity setting, I have no way of knowing what sensitivity setting would provide the most accurate data. It seems to me that the developer should be able to determine that, which is the case with another sleep app I am using and prefer. I still don’t recommend buying this app. Though inexpensive, it is not worth anything to me.
Accuracy better then you could begin to imagine, this wonderful app accurately shows you everything you ever wanted to know about your sleep but were afraid to ask, and could not ask (because you are sleeping)! The graphs and statistics are easy to understand, but once you’re grasped them really this is an outstandingly serious aid, to call it an ‘app’ does not do it justice. This is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you so much devs for this incredibly useful intelligent aid to understanding my sleep. Brilliant.
I normally do not write a review but this app is good enough to write a review about, it's a great app before this I bought pillow, problem with that was if I forget to click record sleep or to tell it I woke up, it wouldn't know. Thought the iPhone app for this app is very primitive, something a guy sitting in the corner with single computer would do, even it is a single guy in the order I would suggest he hires a designer and improve the app looks and feel, it would really help.
It’s been working as expected since I got it about a month ago. It has some issues telling when I’m awake; I’m either awake all night or that time I got up to go to the bathroom isn’t recorded - none of the sensitivity settings in between seem to change much. Even with that I was very happy with it until two days ago ever since the last update - the removal of the compilation changes - when I try to open the trends tab the app crashes. Haven’t been able to open it all month. It’s getting rather frustrating as that was the part that was mostly useful.
I just started using an Apple Watch after years of wearing a FitBit. I bought this app because it supposedly works like a FitBit and tracks your sleep automatically, a functionality that seems to be absent on the Watch. Just to make sure it would work “automatically” (like FitBit) I launched the app when I went to bed (with the Watch on my wrist, of course). When I woke up in the morning, I checked the app again and it said “No Data.” So it’s pretty useless ...and I’m switching back to FitBit again.
Before I had SleepMatic, I used the AutoSleep app. AutoSleep said I was sleeping any time I had my phone or Apple Watch charging in the middle of the day, and when I was sitting down to read for more than 30 minutes. On the contrary, the SleepMatic app is WONDERFUL! After adjusting the sensitivity, it is working perfectly and am extremely happy with it! I’ve used it every night for about 6 months now and I am so glad I bought it! This app is a wonderful investment if you are looking to track your sleep accurately!
I love the fact that it automatically tracks my sleep but my issue is that it often overmeasures my sleep. Like it says I slept for 13 hours a few days ago but I really only slept for seven. I had sedentary activity for the first five hours. I even got up and walked to my car and drove home during those five hours and somehow, they were still counted towards the time I was asleep. I wish there was an edit button so can could edit out those five hours and make it more accurate. When it doesn't overestimate, it is awesome because it is usually pretty accurate.
Ever since i got the iPhone i have wanted to track my sleep. The model 2 and especially the 3 seemed to have the battery life needed for 24hours of wearing. So i tried a couple apps and THIS is the one i settled on. Easy to use, lots of data to follow and great features. My wife and I enjoy using it and comparing our nights rest :-)Then we had a problem with her watch and some general questions. All was resolved quickly and easily, great customer support.
This app really records accurate information about my sleep, mo doubt this is the best sleep tracker. It knows when you sleep and when you wake up since I have to wake up every morning (obviously) it knows what time exactly I woke up and notify me soon after I wake up. Best part is I don’t have to do anything it does it with out asking or anything and it’s great with heart rate and everything with my Apple Watch series 3. Just great work! 👍
I use this app EVERYDAY! Not a simple app, but the options are awesome. I love the latest update- the developers really listen and have worked hard to accommodate requests of users. Being a night shifter and full time student- I sometimes couldn’t even remember when or if I slept. I would be up for 36+ hours regularly. This app helps me to see patterns and better plan time for sleeping (seems simple- but if you ever worked like me you’d get it). Thanks for a great app !
I need to know how I sleep, how long, how many restless periods and awakenings. SleepMatic APP helps me track my heart rate and sleep pattern as they relate. I sure can tell when I fall asleep without putting my APAP on and sleep just 3-4 hours and get up. Living with chronic pain from Fibromyalgia and facet joint degeneration make bedtime painful most of the time. When I pay attention to feedback I’m often encouraged to ‘force’ myself to get in bed or stay as long as I can at least nod.
App store should feature this app, it is that good. I’m a CARDIAC Patient and use these two Apps for my Cardiologist and GP, along with KARDIA a device smaller than a Credit Card that will record ones EKG using your iPhone, or Apple Watch. Get these two Apps no matter your age. Tracking Sleep activity, resting heart rates etc is very important for overall health. When these App developers provide an update, they provide incredible care for the user experience.
I first purchased AutoSleep because it had great reviews online but after using it found it to not be accurate even after I followed the trouble shooting tips. Turns out the problem was the app itself. Downloaded this app, enabled it, and all the sleep the other app didn’t track this one instantly showed. Very accurate and even tracks my naps when I’m lucky enough to get one. Definitely worth it!
I’ve personally tried just about all of the other sleep tracking apps and have never been satisfied with the results. This app is pretty accurate and after having used it for a long time, I decided it was time to test other apps out just to see if they got any better, I simply compared the data results between the two apps and still nothing comes close. Great sleep tracking app. Thank you!
I have been using Sleepmatic for about 9 months or so and it is GREAT! I LOVE the way it tracks sleep with my watch, shows my heartrate and my restlessness and my probable night wakings. Obviously it is not 100% accurate all the time as it is on my wrist and not tied to my head and breath and legs like medical sleep monitors, but its pretty useful for the average person - and may help you decide if you need more medical support or to drink less before bed or exercise more. LOVE LOVE LOVE the latest update!!!!!
I have tried a couple of apps and haven’t found one that compared to the one I used with my Fitbit. I did t have a particularly fancy Fitbit and the sleep app was basic and was sure with an Apple Watch everything would be smooth. In theory it’s more sophisticated, but it is not reliable. I had problems when I first started using it and was told what adjustments to make and it worked although not particularly accurate. I finally sent an email when it became erratic with complete days/nights missing with no response. It is frustrating and if I recall correctly I upgraded to premium. It doesn’t matter if it is free or premium because I cannot depend on it!
App crashes when you try to look at previous data! I like to compare my days of sleep! I use be able to but it just started this a few days ago! I have restarted app and restarted my iPhone but nothing works! I would give you 5 stars but the app started doing this crazy thing of not letting me see my previous sleep patterns! I hope you all can fix this! Really like the app!
If you have transitioned from a Fitbit to an Apple watch, this is the sleep tracker for you. I found Pillow and AutoSleep both way too complicated after the simple tracking I was used to with my Fitbit. The layout of this app is just like what I had with Fitbit, and the tracking is more accurate than it was with the other apps too! Definitely get this app and don't waste your time or money on the others.
I bought this yesterday along w downloading some other sleep tracker apps that were free so I could compare. I’ve been using AutoSleep but it lacks a few features I’d like... the other two I downloaded were able to pull data immediately and show me the prior night’s sleep. This one just spins and says no data. I even did as the developers recommended in FAQ but that didn’t work. They try to say it’s something w the Health App but if 3 other sleep apps are working just fine it has to be the sleepmatic app. I’ve emailed the developers so hopefully they’ll respond or I’ll be emailing iTunes for a refund. It’s only $2 but I still expect it to work
I’m re writing my review I originally gave 2 Stars because it was way off on my sleep after me adjusting the sensitivity levels trying to get a more accurate reading I still don’t believe it is accurate by how may times I wake up but it’s better than it was after customer service looked at my settings not sure if they adjusted anything or not I do realize this is not going to be 100 percent accurate but I was hoping for something a little better after the reviews I read before purchasing
I would love to be able to rate this 5 stars. The main reason I got this app was because it had everything I was looking for: auto sleep detection, hours spent asleep, and graphs. It also seemed to have all of this available on the Watch interface. However I noticed that the Watch app doesn’t update recent sleep data unless you open the IPhone app. Is there a setting that I missed? Hopefully this is coming in another update or I will have to look for another sleep app.
This is probably my favorite sleep app and I believe I have four others plus some meditation apps that I use primarily for sleep. I like the way the data is presented. I give 4 starts because it is always trying to sell me add-ons to the app. I wish that wasn’t the first thing I saw when I opened it. I really like the variety of white noise selections as well. Great app guys!!
Sleep apnea affects so many millions and it has a negative impact on your life and health...and could lead to stroke, heart attack etc. SleepMatic is an excellent tool...when paired with an Apple Watch during sleep...you get a visual of your Sleep health. You can use this data to present to your doctor to get further treatment via a sleep study...and get on the road to better health. This is an excellent product.
I’ve used this app for over a month, and it has yet to come even close to tracking my sleep accurately. I’ve set the sensitivity and taken other troubleshooting steps, but nothing works. The hours it shows that I slept each night is wildly incorrect, and when I try to manually update my sleep hours, I have to do it multiple times before it saves the data. Today it won’t allow me to modify the hours slept at all. I’ve reset and saved them multiple times and it keeps reverting back. I’d like to get it working but so far it’s been a waste of time. I’m using it on an Apple Watch Series 3 and iPhone 8.
I got this app after using a couple of other competing apps and finding it fascinating and really useful. I do not have to push any button to tell it I am starting to sleep, it is so convenient. This app gives great data, it forces me to consciously focus on my sleep patterns and to allow for them as part of my wellness routine. In depth data and analysis really helps. Can’t recommend highly enough
I’ve used this for about 6 months now and find the data and tracking amazing. I use a CPAP machine. My CPAP tracking and this program track consistently. However I get quality of sleep and heat rate information from this device. I recently traveled and was without my CPAP. I learned that with out the CPAP my sleep quality really suffered and my heat rate gets too low. Mid 30s. Normal on CPAP IS LOW 50s. Great tech. Thanks
I’ve used fit bit for years, I’ve had every one up to the ionic,, and never did any of them give me this kind of detailed information, I’m using the new Apple Watch +4 and I am very happy with this app. I’m a new user to the Apple Watch, hands down this will out perform any other sleep tracker on the market,, I highly recommend this to anyone who tracks their heart beat, and sleep,, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Slices and dices one’s sleep in more ways than I ever knew existed. I am now sleeping with my Apple Watch on (charging it before I go to bed and, if needed, after arising for the day). It isolates, very accurately after setting the sensitivity, the various aspects of my rest. When I feel sluggish during the day, I can look back at the quality of my sleep and it pretty much nails the reason. So impressed with this app.
Sleep is top priority that effects my performance and function each day. I am an athlete with a sleeping disorder and this app has been a reliable resource to me for over a year. Just like the weather, it one of the first things I check before starting my day. My husband and I both look to the information the app provides, daily.
I’ve been using this about three weeks. I have been very fatigued for months. With this app I was able to show my doctor that my heart rate was dropping 20 bpm several times a day. Also that my sleep was not very deep and I was restless most of the night. This got her to put me on s heart monitor and now I’m getting a pacemaker. Which should help with the fatigue and dropping heart rate.
Fitbit personally has my favorite heart and sleep tracker. I couldn’t find a sleep tracker that didn’t require me to buy an annual membership until I found this one. It’s cheap and effective. I need to see what I need to see. I recommend you get one too. You won’t be disappointed, because it’s like a few dollars.
No need to start the app, doesn't drain your battery. If you are wear your Apple Watch overnight the results show up in the app I thought that the new Apple sleep app would have additional features but it has significantly less info. SleepMatic was already working in the background, updating my Health App but provides much more info like heart rate and restless sleep.
When I got the original Apple Watch I was appalled that it didn’t have sleep tracking built in. I researched and liked the reviews of this one so I reluctantly paid whatever it was I don’t remember. I have never been sorry. This app does its job. I recommend it. I honestly don’t check it every day but I’m glad to know the information is there if I need it.
Like being able to compare current day with past days to see any trends in my sleeping. Not needing to connect to anything when going to bed & needing to connect when I get up seems like a nice little extra. Having tried other sleep apps this one seems to give ur morning results much more quickly then past apps.
I needed a simple program to help me track my sleep patterns on my watch because I want stay healthy. It works good with my Apple Watch. I would recommend this program highly, it lets me adjust sensitivity because I am a restless sleeper and I don’t have to let it know when I am about to sleep like other programs. It also tracks my heart rate while I sleep.
When I switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch I missed a lot the sleep tracking feature. So happy since I found this sleep tracker app. Also want to tell about great support when I switch from iPhone 7+ to iPhone X I noticed that my data incorrect and sent email to support and within hour I got reply with detailed instructions how to fix it.
I’ve been using this app for several years, and once adjusted, it is pretty accurate in tracking my sleep. I like the way it displays the results and gives you a week’s view of your sleep patterns. And it feeds into the Apple Health app, so I can see the results along with my other health statistics. I hope Apple’s coming sleep tracker works as well.
