Product Positioning & Context
Community Voice & Feedback
First off I enjoy the app. It’s helpful and insightful. Now, how do I disable ads after paying for premium? I still get popups when I open the app prompting me to opt into beta features like sleep apnea screening. I’ve said no thanks multiple times but keep getting bugged. No means no.
I’ve used this app for a long time, but the latest updates reduce its usability. The splash screen trying to get me to sign up for a sleep apnea study (no), is just an ad. Forcing a default “wake up window” rather than defaulting to the last-used option means every. Single. Night. I have to cancel my alarm and re-select the second screen. It’s getting cumbersome.

-I ’ve been around.
You can take away all of my phones, my electronic devices, delete all my other Apps to never be found again,
but I WILL find a phone, my photos WILL remain intact and don’t touch my Sleep Cycle App.

Does what it says on the tin. If you don’t pay, the pop ups are annoying, but hey, it’s free. One thing I’d like to see them fix: the app size is 350mb and it’s storing another 250mb of data on top. That’s pretty large for what this app does.
Sleep Cycle lets me know when is the best time I should try to go to bed and the best time for me to wake up.

I’ve been a paying customer for almost a decade. And now there’s a non-dismissible ad for their sleep apnea study that I couldn’t care less about. Make it go away or lose a customer.
Purchased this app probably a decade ago before it became a subscription. Now it seems like the app is breaking in weird places, perhaps in an attempt to force many premium monthly. For example, it’s been months since I’ve been able to even view my sleep score. When I go to the journal it takes me back to 2020 instead of today’s date with really no way to view my score for the day. Which makes the app pointless but perhaps that’s the point.
This app has not worked for at least two years. I’ve had this app on my phone for years. Did not have premium because I was getting enough. Without premium so then Sleep cycle offered half off the price of a year sub subscription. And last summer, I took the offer for a year and this app has not worked. regularly at all. I get maybe one night a month that the sleep graph and sounds work.. The ChatGPT is a joke for some reason after they get my money they just will not allow the app to work. I have to update every other day and it’s still does no help. I would not recommend this app. and when this subscription is done, I am done.
I am so disappointed that this app has ads now. Instead setting my alarm and drifting off to sleep, I was accosted by an ad on the main screen. I pay $20 for a subscription and I still get ads. That’s insane. I am now looking for a new app.
We’ve used Sleep Cycle for a few years. It used to have Family Sharing, but not anymore.
The app used to link our phones so it could identify who was snoring, coughing, or moving around. Not anymore.
It’s on sale now for 50% off but we’d have to buy two to get what we used to have, well not exactly what we had, but they do seem to have added quite a few new in-app purchases above and beyond the value reduced subscription price.
The app itself is good, but it feels like it’s turned into a blatant money grab. Just use the free version.

This app turns off Siri without any warning. If you use Siri to check your blood glucose or some other vitals in the middle of the night, or worse, you need to call 911 - you cannot, because the Sleep Cycle app disabled Siri functionality without any warning. I got a response from the app developer full of tech babble but no acknowledgement of this problem. I am surprised Apple allowed this in the app store without warnings, especially to users of accessibility features.
The app used to be perfect and everything worked well. Then some updates and bug fixes happened but now the Philips Hue integration no longer works consistently. It turns off my lights at bedtime only when I go and change a setting. And it doesn’t ramp up the lighting in the morning, leaving me to wake up to a dim red light that doesn’t turn off like I’ve asked the app to do. Disappointing because this is one reason I pay a yearly subscription.
I love this app but the free features are getting less and less over time.
the alarm doesn't work sometimes. i've used this app since it's launching however the service quality getting worse.
I tried to use the free subscription. But once I entered my initial information it said let’s begin—they a forced paywall came up. Chat GPT told me to delete and reinstall and the forced paywall sometimes goes away. It came back.i am not giving payment information to an app before I ever even try it!
The app might be good. ?? But I don’t trust the company’s sleazy practices.
