It used to work great but now it keeps crashing. I've restarted my phone, uninstalled and reinstalled and that didn't help. I've had this app for a few years and it's disappointing that you don't add more of ASMR like the spa...the tea one is awful with his fake British accent. It's the same actor as the Loona sleep app and his voice is nice when he talks normal.

So when I use this product for free it was wonderful. It recorded audio and a high quality rate and showed me the highlights every morning. It offered me $10 for a lifetime subscription and I fell for it. Since I purchased this product it has become the worst app I've ever used. After paying for it it was rendered 100% useless because it does not record anything at night and it does not keep up with my sleep at all even in the slightest. As a free product it was wonderful for a few days.

They spring the payment page on you unexpectedly, and don't make it clear that you don't have to pay to use the app. Even though it's free, the 5 "free" features it offers aren't very good. The talk down isn't descriptive at all, you're better or meditating yourself. They only offer 1 sound for background noise to sleep to and it's a camp fire. Other than that there's an alarm which my phone has free, and it records the noises at night but you need to pay or watch ads to listen.

Maybe a good app. Looked promising. I was seriously considering subscribing if this worked well. But as soon as the alarm rang I kept getting ad after ad. It's one thing to have a banner ad, maybe one full screen ad. I get the dev wants to make some money, but full screen loud ads once after the other as soon as I wake up. I must have got 5 ads in a span of a minute. No thanks.

I've had the sleep booster app on my phone for quite some time. It was largely forgotten about until this morning when I woke up 30 minutes late. There was a random update that turned the app into an alarm clock. I did not realize this when I set my work alarm at bedtime. I didnt notice that google had prompted me to pick an app, because I didn't realize there was a second alarm on my phone. I would prefer not to be fired for showing up late, so its a definite uninstall. Stay in your lane.

Tried to cancel before 7 days. Couldn't. Charged $19.99 ... No answer. Emailed several times. No response. Picks up Air Conditioner and I just have hours and hours of white Noise recorded, can't even find sleep talking. Picks up turning over in bed too. Great sound quality but pointless recording of entire night. Still can't cancel ... would be awesome if someone answered me!!!

Don't waste your time with this app!! Literally only lasted one night. All I wanted was to check out the tracker for talking and snoring and I get one 30 minute recording before I really fell asleep. Absolutely horrible. All this is, is a company using the features the phone has built in slapping a face on it. Calling it theirs and charging to money grab. Will not reinstall

While a good idea behind this app. It pushes the subscription on you, I know they are optional but it's like ads, no one wants to see it pop up everytime they click something. Also I can just listen to my own music and if I really wanted to hear what happens in my sleep I'll just record myself. So yes a good idea just not practical in my opinion.

It seems like a good idea, but I don't know with the level of access I got. You get little over a minute in sleep recording and little access to all the other features, I can't really tell if it's useful. For instance I think part of my sleep issues have to do with my kids getting up and down at night. But I couldn't track that on this app because of the shortened sleep recording. I would rather have full access for 7 days, than partial access for an indeterminate amount of time. Edit: I don't think the developer of this app is fully checked in as they seemed to have a stock response that didn't address the issues I had with the app. If they gave a full access free limited trial version, they would probably have more people willing to pay for the app. I'm tried it because of clever marketing, but that won't make me stay or pay.

I fall asleep to the sound of a plane engine every night, and I love it. That said, this app often crashes abruptly (despite no other apps on my phone being open ie taking up memory, etc), which obviously stops the noise abruptly. More times than I can count, that has woken me up. Fix that and I'll give it 5 stars!

I rated 2 instead of 1 star because it did actually help me fall asleep faster. But when the alarm went off the first time I was immediately met with an ad. Then I tried to listen to the recordings, the first one made me watch a 30 second ad before letting me hear it, I tried to listen to the second recording and it wanted me to subscribe, so you only get 1 recording free. I don't mind apps like this having subscriptions but these are core features of the app, not premium features.

I enjoyed my free trial, and was able to access all of its components. The snore tracker worked best when I had the phone in bed with me instead of on the night table. I found the voice on the meditations soothing, except for the "kneading dough" one where twice she referred to cake. As a baker that almost kept me up LOL! I enjoyed the different sounds to fall asleep to, and was lucky enough not to have the burn issue with the heart monitor. I wish there was a 3 month subscription.

It has a lot of information and customizes pretty easy. It would be cool to have a tracker within the app that ties into the information they are giving you, like caffeine, water, how long it takes you to fall asleep, or hard/easy to wake up. I like the meditations but I find it kind of odd they tell you to wake up at the end of some when you are trying to sleep instead. Those are really my only problems with it. For the continual price you pay, I hope there is more to come.

[Edit: Apparently there is a free version (not on this app store it seems, or under a different developer), this is not mentioned in the app itself or referenced within it to get you there. My review still stands till I test that one. /edit] Sleep recordings and all other features are behind paywall. The only reason I downloaded is the premium feature, but couldn't even give me the cost up front. Not a subscription plan.

I've used this app for a long time and really liked it but I really wish they would add some more stories. I've basically memorized all the words now so it's not really helping me fall asleep anymore. Also I can not listen to the men telling the stories, they way they talk just annoys me while I'm trying to fall asleep. Too many pauses.

My alarm repeatedly won't go off until I touch my phone several minutes after it should have gone off. At that point, the alarm won't turn off no matter what I do, so I have to completely power down my phone. While using the sleep assist steps, there will be long pauses between each of the 3 steps, and/or one of the steps will stop abruptly in the middle and there will be nothing more that happens, unless I manually click "play" on the step again, at which point it starts over.

I have used this app for YEARS! It used to be really great. Did you know that If you don't have signal, this app doesn't work at allllll!!!! AND The cost has gone up a lot. The majority of features it keeps telling me I now need to pay for. I used to always use to heartbeat monitor in the morning when i would get up to see my resting heart rate, now- not without paying an astronomical amount of money for a simple program. Definitely not the same free quality that it used to be.

I have the paid version. I would normally rate this with 5 ⭐, but the guided breathing function is not working. I've tried installing, and uninstalling the app. I've tried rebooting my device, I've tried turning it on and off, but it just won't work. The app also stops playing when the screen is off.

used to love it but a couple updates ago it completely broke the app. can't shut off phone screen when sounds are playing, unable to play or pause anything. when I sent a message to support they wanted a screenshot....of my music not playing while my phone screen is off...... Edit: This issue is still occurring after 2 updates. I've just about given up hope on this app 😭

Going to cancel my subscription and delete the app. It's been going on since May that I have paid for an app that doesn't work right. I'm over it! Update 'fixed' the alarm. Can hear it now but when I touch my phone to look at it, alarm stops, nothing had popped up for it either. I've no information about my night.
