Sleep++ Software

The app is nice and simple, and it seems to be fairly accurate. Obviously it’s not perfect due to limitations of what data is available from the watch, but it’s good enough that I can track when I fell asleep, how quickly I fell asleep, and how long I slept accurately enough to see how more/better this app impacts my day in other ways, which is really all I wanted. I think a majority of the low-star reviews come from a lack of understanding about what information the app can really check. To be fair, there are some things that feel a bit lacking, like when you view a past night on the iPhone app, it feels like you should be able to slide your finger along the night overview to see what specific time things happened. I’ve been working around that by clicking trim, moving the start/end to the event I want to check, checking the new start/end time, and then moving the trim bar back to the original start/end. Another example is that there’s no way to quickly view the legend from within a night (without backing out and going to settings), but that’s only really useful the first time you use the app. So it’s not perfect (what is), but I’d take the clean interface and lack of general annoyances in this app over anything else alternative apps might offer.

I seen others make the same comment. The addition of the automatic this app detection is what brought me back. I tried using this in the past and pounded interesting but a little bit of a novelty because I would forget and not consistently track my this app. Now I don’t think about it and just go to this app. The next morning it tells me how well I slept. I like no brainer applications like this. The other thing that helped me was I finally broke down and upgraded from to the new Apple Watch. Considering they won’t give you any return value on first generation watch, I kept it just for my this app monitoring. I put the soft rubber watchband on the old watch and transferred my stainless band to the new watch. The old watch stays on the charger during the day and at night I swap watches. Perfect setup!

I use this app for one reason: it’s simple. There are other apps that offer way more features, and may even look 10x nicer. My point is, the app is simple — I love that design. It’s not too ugly, it’s not too overly done, it just gets the job done. There’s no redundant, useless features. The only other feature I’d like to see added is heart rate monitoring during this app sessions. Other than that, defiantly go for this app. I’ve used other ones out there, they’re not the best. They may give to more data, but I feel that data is redundant and not necessarily as useful. This app does however, you get the data you want: this app data. That’s it, nothing more. No more complex viewing “modes.” Just simple data we all want and need to understand our sleeping habits.
