Sleepzy - Sleep Cycle Tracker 17+

Would love some more ability

I really enjoy this app and find it works really well for a self confessed ‘not a morning person’. I have a subscription and find all the additional data really insightful. I would like to see some updated functionality however.
1. Nap tracking and alarm. I often like/need to nap and having the same light sleep wake up alarm would be beneficial. I know I could use the current alarm but don’t want to mess with the data and the full half hr wake-up option doesn’t alway help when you want a Power Nap.
2. Integration /link through to other apps for sleep noise. I use a different app (calm) to fall asleep to as it offers much more variety so being able to access this without recording it as a sleep noise would be great.
3. Although the screen goes dark it’s still backlit which is still draining the power.

Good idea, ineffectual execution

I was excited to first download and begin using this app as I had had trouble with my sleep. After a couple of nights where I was able to drift off and wake up crisply with the alarm I thought it was brilliant! However the veneer soon fell, and it became clear to me that those early successes had been flukes.
Firstly, the representation of your light and deep sleep cycles cannot be accurate. I know this because there have been many occasions when I have been awake, checked my phone for the time and got up to go to the toilet, only for the app to tell me in the morning that I was fast asleep throughout the period during which I know I was awake. This removes the foundation upon which this app is built - if it isn’t actually aware of how deeply you’re sleeping then how can it wake you when you’re in light sleep. This is my second gripe with the app - it doesn’t wake me up properly. The first couple of weeks that I used the app, yes I had a few mornings that were as the app intended and I woke up gradually and rested, however, that soon stopped. The app hasn’t woken me up properly in over a month despite my changing the alarm sounds repeatedly - it doesn’t work.
I wanted this app to work but I can’t ignore the glaring problems that prevent it from being effective

faults and not worth about £7 a month

I downloaded this app hoping to wake up better, well this app has not done this, understandably this is not the fault of the app. However, “accidentally” subscribing and paying for a month before I was able to cancel it I would call this app and a glorified app with the same line graph and same wake up time every morning. Pretty much like an alarm clock waking me up at 5:57 every morning. Except my alarm clock wakes me up at 6:00 and the snooze button actually works. Twice in the week and few days I have used this app, the snooze button after a third or fourth time has been utilised as the app seems to crash or freeze and does not perform its most basic function - to wake me up. So worth the money, I would say no, hopefully this technical fault can be fixed. But I would call it a waste of money and would assure any possible buyer to make sure they properly understand how to cancel their premium membership after their free subscription and keep well aware - as I’m sure they make a good deal of their money on the basis that one would forget their subscription - right here ! and I would recommend buying a simple alarm clock and if one would like to wake up nicer, have a good cup of coffee on standby and go to bed earlier. Waste of money.
