Nothing but static. I had the threshold set to only be louder noises and I woke up two hours later to find out it already had 50 recordings on it which I know I'm not that noisy but I went back to bed. I woke up finally. I listen to the recordings and is nothing but static and a snapping sound. Very disappointing.

It WAS perfect. Just hit the button and it picked up only my talking. Then the app updated, it told me to choose a setting for the mic sensitivity, I've now tried all 3 automatic options and all I get is a full 50 recordings of white noise in the first 30 min. Put it back to how it was! It's now useless.

Generally a good app (though I am concerned about a mobile device listening in my bedroom all night, but thats a general issue). However: I know tonight there was some talking, but alas, I have no recordings of it, as the app was busy recording an hour of uninterrupted snoring before that. If it can distinguish between human and non-human sound, wouldnt it also be possible to exclude repeated, uniform sounds from the recording?

hi! i'm considering purchasing the premium version of the app. I saw in your reply to another review that if u "originally paid for the app then the features will be yours forever", but dont u have to pay the $16 fee every year? is there a way I can pay a flat fee so there's no yearly bill? also here's a suggestion: it would be cool to be able to categorise dream journal entries with "lucidity" & "clarity." a lock for the app would also be nice in case friends try to snoop in your phone. thanks!

I was skeptical about the functionality, but it works great and doesn't seem to miss anything. On that note, not missing anything is a problem as every snore is recorded. So for people who snore a lot, after the first few hours of snore, no more recording will be made as recording limit would be reached. Perhaps, snores could be normalized and only record first few and then record only sleep talks and other noise. I am thinking this is possible as I keep my fan on and the App is able to skip those, possibly detecting as constant environment sound. This could be extended to snores as well. Update (8/17/2021): Developer has responded with their plans to mitigate any shortcomings. For their responsiveness, now I rate 5 star.

There is an option where you can change the sound of when it detects sound, and it doesn't have any "bUy PrEmIuM vErSiOn" stuff, everything is free, i really reccomend this app for recording sleep, it even has a delay sleep record option so it doesn't record sounds until you fall asleep. 10/10 sleep tracking app.

Wonderful app. It picked up snoring other apps missed. I was able to record my dream in the middle of the night without touching my phone. It even works well with white noise in the background, unlike many other apps. You just have to get the sensitivity set right. I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it.

Poorly managed change to a subscription model. Have lost a number of recordings and cannot login without paying a monthly fee. Would happily pay a flat fee to support the development of the app / a donation link somewhere but the movement of even small tools to subscription based payment is a scourge.

Tapping on a recording in the list freezes my phone for about two minutes while, I guess, the waveform graphic generates. Then it freezes for another two minutes if I tap share, play, or anything anywhere on the app from that point. And the graphic doesn't get saved or anything so it happens every time I try to play a recording. Happens whether it's installed on internal or SD storage. Plenty of free space and memory. Dunno. Not great.

Really happy with this app, I sleep talk and walk a lot and this has captured some hilarious audio. I thought this app was deleting my recordings that are more than 12 months old, even though theyre starred, so I've paid for premium and I don't think that has stopped them being deleted. I really want to keep them all and don't want any to be removed from my account.

It picks up my ramblings great and I only have to pay one time for it instead of other apps that require a subscription. I like the ability to categorize them and use emojis. Something I'd like to see is when a recording is starred, I can't delete it, I have to unstar it first. I haven't deleted anything on accident yet but I think it's a good idea.

Unfortunately the only thing it captures is the sound of my fan :( I have a fan running on low when I sleep. I've put it on the floor and tried adjusting the sensitivity levels, but all the recordings I have are just "brrrrrr." I know I screamed in the middle of the night when I had this app recording and still, just fan noises. I have to sleep with a fan, so this app won't work for me. I do enjoy listening to other people's recordings though, so I will keep it for that.

It's a shame because I think this app has a great potential. The problem is when it goes to play back. It Enhances what it records so you can hear it clearer, however all I hear is static with maybe a tiny snore or word in the background. so whatever it's picking up, I'm unable to hear because it's enhancing the sound so much all I hear is static. I played with the settings but it's not that. It's the playback enhancement. If this gets fixed I will be thrilled to use this app and add some stars.

I can't get it to record anything other than my snoring. I've tried so many different configurations, but everytime I am get like 200 clips of SNORES. I wish I knew if it was my setup, or if it simply doesn't know the difference between a voice and snoring. REPLY TO DEV: Yes. I purchased the premium package, and have tried variations of the voice detection feature with various volume recording levels. I have changed the distance of the phone from me, and the side I sleep on.

Unpredictable. My phone is left on charge next to me overnight in the same spot every night. The app is on medium sensitivity. Some nights I get over 300 recordings and some I get 5 yet I know we were talking, up to use the bathroom, up for work and it captured none of it. Strangely it worked perfectly the first couple of weeks 🤷♀️ Also I'd love to see a swipe delete function as it's very time consuming listening to every recording to see if you want to delete it or not.

Uninstalled. It now locked several features that were available before behind a subscription, e.g. adding categories or exporting the recordings. And even if you subscribe, the recordings are still exported in a huge database that requires a custom script before you could extract the audio files. I did the free premium trial just to get my recordings out of the app so I can uninstall it.

Absolutely love this app. Best one I have found so far after trying out 5 already. Took a few tries to get the right volume threshold as i live on a main street so would pick up cars driving past. But now works and records perfect. In love with the feature where you can create your own music/ relaxation mix. As most places have some type of piano in the background and I can not relax with piano keys. You guys have done an amazing job with this app, well done. And thank you 😊

In general a very nice app! However, I have a major problem with one setting: the light mode. It was just suddenly active one day (I couldn't even decide to turn it on) and I can't switch back to dark mode. It's there, written in faded letters, yet it is not possible to select it. I also got the newes version and I once even tried it by uninstalling and installing it back again. Nothing seems to work.

Doesn't compare to other similar apps ("Sleep Tracker and Sleep Recorder" by Apirox has been the best I have tried). It doesn't categorize recordings, so one has to go through all of them to discover if any have talking. I don't want to choose to have it only record speech, because sometimes other ones are hilarious or insightful. The quality of the recordings are really not very good (whereas I am constantly blown away by the clarity and sensitivity of the other app I mentioned).

I really love this app. I wish there were more people using it so there there were more ppl sharing their recordings in the community. I recently (12 months ago) discovered I was a sleep talker and had been looking for a great app that would not only record my sleep but the feature I needed was that it would only activate when it sensed sound. For $1.99 a month I get access to that exact feature. I've found the settings that work for me and love listening in the morning!
