Sleep Analyzer App Reviews

Ive been wondering why I wake up at night so often so when I saw this app I decided to try it. I ran it last night and was pleasantly surprised at how well it works. You just start it running, then turn off the phone by the top button (these instructions are clearly dislayed on the app as well). In the morning it had recorded 29 disruptions and my battery was only down about 25%. It was easy to go through and listen to each distraction and categorize them. I wish the app had more types of disruptions, as well as being able to add my own. Once categorized, it would be nice to have some type of graphing feature so you could see over time the most types of distractions and the time of night. Anyway, great idea for an app. I look forward to using this every night for a while and seeing if I can make changes to reduce the numbers of distractions. At my advancing age sleep is so important.

Im using a 16 gig gen1 iphone. While the base recording functionality seems to sort of work (setting ambient noise level should really be a full screen thing to allow for better controls, and let you save it from day to day), the playback is really clunky.. Im not sure what the point of the slider is. I had to keep hitting play... waiting for the clip to finish, then hitting next and play again. Id rather have a list on the screen of all the disturbances and their lengths. Probably wouldnt have been so bad if the ambient sound had been set better though. The export however... bad. Attempting to export either locks up the iphone or forces it to reboot.

The app itself is a great idea. As with opinion #1 whats the point in the slider during play back? And worse u cant hear anything unless of coarse you "TALK OR SLAP THE BED" duh!! I have to plug the audio jack into a 100 watt amp cranked at 50% just to hear the disturbances actually are. And thats with the microphone pointed directly at my head from 2ft away. So unless u amp it, all u can hear on playback are the obvious noises that wake u up anyway. Like a door closing or dog bark or talking. Havent come close to hearing a snoring issue. And I know I have one!! There hasnt been ANY updates since I installed it either.

I woulndt waste time writing a review unless it was worth it. There is a learning curve but once u find the right level it works. U can even use it to record peoplz convos :) i put it on 37. My hone is a foot awat from me. Depending how far ur phone is will detrmine wht level to put it at. I usally average 35 interuptions. I didnt know i snore a little until now. Great app use it evryday!!!!

I bought the app thinking it would be interesting to gain insight into my sleep patterns, and was already on 3.0 code.. Sadly the only thing I know now is that I have $1.99 less... Please fix the app...

I really liked this ap and used a lot. Please update for compatbility for 3.0. Nothing will work on this now since my update. When it worked I found I had coughing fits in my sleep I never knew I had.

It does take a little (or quite a lot) experimentation to get the threshold right, but once it is... it is quite a useful tool. I give it four stars because I like the idea so much, otherwise I would have given it three. To get five stars, give me the following: 1) less crash prone; 2) recordings do not cut up into maximum eight second pieces, i.e. as long as there is sound above the threshold, the application continues to record; and 3) the initial 1-5 seconds of noise (e.g. snorring) are not cut off. An updated version would be nice; sooner rather than later!

If it does indeed record sounds, I cannot tell. It has failed to play back anything. No sound. Waste of $.

I hardly ever feel like I have had a full nights sleep, but after using this for the first time last night I know why. At about 3am this app picked up a strange sound. At first I had no clue what it was, after listening to it a few times, I realized it was my dog shaking his head causing his ears to flap ( he was in another room and it still picked it up). About 4 or 5 seconds later the app caught me whispering " what time". I do not recall these events though.... Great app, does what it says it does & simple to use.

app runs ok and it has logged many many disturbances on my first 2 nights of use!! No wonder i feel so tired. . . However I cant get the client to work? Seems there may be an issue with the current version running on os 3.0.1 ??? anyone having more success with this ?

This app constantly crashes when deleting old recordings, it gets to be annoying. Also if you talk in your sleep it wont really record the whole sentence, just the first part then shuts off. It isnt worth the $1.99 right now, maybe after an update I can change my opinion.

WORKS BEAUTIFULLY NOW! DEVELOPERS ARE QUICK TO RESPOND TO QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS AS THEY DID WITH ME. THIS APP CAN VIRTUALLY BE A LIFE SAVER FOR THOSE WHO MAY STRUGGLE TO BREATH WHILE SLEEPING AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT ON THE OTHER HAND THIS APP CAN BE JUST PLAIN OLE FUN BY SHARING YOUR FUNNY SLEEP PATERNS AND JIBBERISH WITH FRIENDS. DOES YOUR PARTNER SNORE OR TALK IN THEIR SLEEP? WELL RATHER THAN WAITING FOR THEM TO DRIFT OFF TO SLEEP IN ORDER TO RECORD THE EVIDENCE SIMPLY JUST PREP THE DEVICE SET IT DOWN CLOSE TO THE DREAMER AND LEAVE IT DO ITS WORK WHILE YOU SLEEP SOUNDLY THEN LAY ON A HEAVY... "I TOLD YE SO" THE FOLLOWING DAY BY PLAYING BACK THE FINDINGS. FOR BEST RESULTS USE WITH EARPHONES. ANOTHER QUICK TIP: FOR EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY SET THRESHOLD TO LOW I LOVE SLEEP ANALYZER AND ALTHOUGH I DID HAVE MY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST, THATS BEEN ADDRESSED AND IT ITS NOW ONCE AGAIN ON MY TOP 5 FAVORITE APP LIST AGAIN. WORTH THE PRICE. ENJOY, HAVE FUN... IT WILL MAKE YOU SMILE.

Doesnt work on iPod touch, it just crashes

Ok so I expected to experiment to get my threshold set right but after having it set from lowest to highest all I seem to get is 2-3 second recordings and that doesnt do me any justice. I give it 2 stars got ease of use and being a clever idea. This app should be free though considering its result is next to useless due to its short recordings and for recording below the set threshhold. Sorry guys, fix the app some. Brainstorm some ideas.

I was surprised at how much I snore. This app captured noise every 3 to 6 seconds at 55db setting for hours. Wow. Excellent app. Good job. Im going to the doctor and soon!

I was able to use this to decide which allergy medication actually helped my snoring. Yes, you do have to adjust the sensitivity, and keep the iPhone close to you.

Worked OK on the iPod touch, but the new update always crashes! Help!

Definently worth the price. I got this app back in July or August 09 and with the delay and iPod option it is awesome. I set my decibal level at 70-75 and my phone sits about 3 1/2 ft away. Works great buy if you want to know if you snore, cough, or just to hear what goes bump in the night.

I cant get it to work. I have uninstalled & reinstalled various times. I see the icon, I click on it, it starts to open..then closes again! This is on an iTouch. Help!!

Ok I just spent $ 1.99 on this app that will not even load up! Waste of Money! Should be a free app.
