Beddit (for Model 3.5) Reviews

by Nick_le_mess

I’ve had to have my sensor replaced twice. The sleep times it reports simple are not true. Somehow it shows that I’m out of bed every morning at 4:30am. Even when I’m sleeping until 8-9am. Support suggested wiping my iPhone deleting Beddit , all of which I’ve done. Still the sensor cannot even record the time at which I lay on it - how long I lay on it - and when I get off it.

If it cannot do that - what does it do?

Beddit is horrendous - and basically doesn’t record your sleep data. Their developers need to fix Beddit, it can’t be that hard to fix and release a patch/update to properly record data. This is embarrassing that they can’t even make a simple app with their device to work, DO NOT BUY THIS DEVICE, Beddit makes it worthless and useless!!

This product does not live up to the Apple brand name. It is highly unreliable in its data collection. I have used it for two months and got less than 50% of the nights captured with some data. What I have learned to cope with is to reach down under the bed to reset the USB connection every two nights. When I forgot to reset it, i could count on it to not collect any data. Most recently I am having problems connecting the Bluetooth. It has been a struggle with this product. I bought it through the chase promotion as a last minute birthday gift to myself without doing much research... when I inquired about the return policy I was told it was only 14 days. Now that felt like a trap for poor quality products using the Apple name. Very disappointed. I shall never make the same mistake again!!!

Horrible app, returning to Apple store. The interface does NOT show if it is connected to the sensor. It shows that it's paired, but that doesn't mean it's working. So, you can have it miss an entire night without any indication that it has a problem. it also misses complete blocks of time. Twice in last two weeks it's completely missed the first hour I was in bed. Didn't show in bed but not asleep, it just didn't show anything at all. So, in less than two weeks, I've missed one complete night and gotten a very incomplete report on two other nights.

It also has a binary notion of 'sleep', either you are asleep or not. It doesn't use movement to determine how well you are sleeping - at least there is no user interface showing this like any other sleep app. It especially doesn't use my Series 4 Apple watch which is very disturbing.

If you play music on a bluetooth speaker during the night while getting up for a bit, it disconnects from the sensor, so no more recording and of course no indication that it's not recording.

I develop software for a living. To me this was developed by people who don't understand the basics of a user interface.

Back to the Apple store for this poor excuse for a product. I bought AutoSleep instead which does a much better job of logging sleep and works without any issues.

As part of a scientific research study, I was asked to sleep with a this app. Half the time, it got my sleep data profoundly wrong. The worst examples? Several times a week, it reported that I never went to sleep (although I did), or that it only took a couple minutes to fall asleep (when it took an hour or more). One night, it told me I had already slept 8 hours and 36 minutes before I even got in bed! I think this product needs A LOT more fine tuning before it’s ready for mass marketing.

You have one job, this app. ONE JOB. And you're terrible at it. You can't distinguish between lying still and sleeping. If I have a night of insomnia where I'm in bed awake (lying still, but awake), you log those hours as asleep, giving totally fictional reports. The Apple Watch and the Beautyrest tracker are both much more accurate and break down sleep by type (light, deep, etc) -- a basic feature of all sleep apps that you lack (which is insane, given that this is the ONLY thing you're supposed to be good at). Returning you, this app. Sorry.

For a sophisticated sleeping tracker (and a price point that supports that expectation), the this app app provides surprisingly very little data that is collected through the night. The previous app looks to have had all the things I would have expected (visual representation of sleep patterns, overall sleep score), so it is shocking how bad the update to Beddit has been. Seems like a huge miss for Apple and potentially the first time I’d consider returning a product from them (and writing my first negative review). Bring back comprehensive data...

by Skydivecm

Worked for two days and then the connectivity issues started. Customer support did not even know what the product was? First step was to delete Beddit and loose your data. Manager then wanted me to totally wipe my phone and restore. Instead I used a second and it would not connect. Leaves me unsure if any of the data is meaningful. From other posts Apple cut out much of the more detailed information. Will give it a second try but less than impressed.

by Ephydra

Even when it worked, it wasn’t great (as explained in countless other reviews). Now, as of a couple of days ago, Beddit won’t even launch past the splash screen. I didn’t update iOS, so there is no reason why anything should have changed. I tried disconnecting-reconnecting the device, deleting and reinstalling Beddit , and restarting the phone, before finally concluding that I wasted $150 on a now useless this app device.

A couple of months ago, I read a good review of this product. My wife knew I wanted and just purchased it for me on my January birthday. You no longer get everything I originally wanted. The truncated data set is so simplistic you can get better info from some Apple Watch apps. I am considering returning it this week. As is it is definitely not worth the money.

by 1putaestrella

They discontinued support and Beddit for the previous model (3) so if you had a perfectly working product and need to re download Beddit (upgraded device in my case) you now have a useless piece of garbage that you can’t use.

Was happy before this— but I won’t go and spend money on a newer version of their product after this.

by Alex.folsom

Beddit constantly stops working and recording data. There’s no indication as to what’s wrong, or any reminder if you’ve accidentally closed Beddit to reopen it. this app also assumes you’re sleeping even if you’re not (such as reading on your phone in bed). The phone and watch movement data don’t influence this app data, which could be really useful in creating more accurate sleep data.

by Alex0c

What happened to data like time spent in light sleep, deep sleep, restless sleep? The overall sleep score? All gone. The graph of your sleep the night before is very basic now and you can’t see any detail- i.e. what times you were up. Will return if they don’t update Beddit with more functionality.

Last update did bring back snoring detection. At least it’s listed in the settings. Since the update though it doesn’t register any data at all however. As pointed out in reviews before, it would be nice if there was some sort of indication it’s connected, or if it were possible to see the raw data trace again after the very initial setup to know it’s actually working. And yes, I’ve unpaired and repaired multiple times. Was working fine, then seems dead after update. More and more disappointed.

- App is missing an indicator that the strap is being used (besides auto-snore detector as not everyone wants to disable Siri/mic)

- Apple Watch app is pointless. All it shows is your bedtime. Is give us some stats here. Severely lacking behind AutoSleep

- Needs an Apple Watch complication. AutoSleep has great complications which display how much sleep you got. Now that Apple owns this app, you’d think they’d be more on it.

- Should have a way to enable snore detection but keep Siri enabled is possible

- Push notifications need to be more insightful and remind user to input how the feel upon detection of waking up

I’ve used sleep trackers over the years and surprisingly the 3.5 this app provides very little information compared to others, including the this app 3.0. While the hardware works fine, Beddit makes very little productive use of the information. I hope Apple further develops the capability of this device.

by Arcody

I have been pleased with Beddit and device up until the latest update. I thought one of the best features was the snoring monitor. It helped me to adjust the way I slept and reduce my incidence of snoring drastically. I am not sure why it was removed but, usually, I would think that features would be added to an update, not taken away.

by CanadianTravelsDC

I had high hopes for this software and sleep tracking device. However, after a year of using it, I’m pretty disappointed. The amount of information available has decreased with each new app release and the device itself keeps needing to be reset to work.

by Mrpiii

I was looking forward to the new this app expecting that Apple would improve an already great device and application. It’s fair to assume Apple bought this app because they liked the company and its product. Well to be kind they gutted the product. The data is a mere shadow of what the old app and hardware provided. I sent mine back.

by FrankLuciano

The device 3.5 works wonderfully, I love being able to go to bed without starting an app or wearing my watch. I would love to see some features from the previous app such a detailed sleep patterns and alarms.

I purchased a second this app. The new v3.5. Unfortunately a lot of features are missing from the old version of Beddit . It has these strange row of numbers that count up above Sleep Analysis Results that aren’t explained anywhere.

I’m on the PST California time and this app app thinks its on east coast time. It’s already in the next day long before it midnight. Very frustrating.

by Mikexcite

Of course the hardware is unreliable, hardware usually is. The problem and reason for the 2-star review is Beddit is built around the hardware working perfectly. It needs:
1) a way to correct inaccurate sleep measurements.
2) to provide notifications that the sleep tracker isn’t working.
Very disappointing product, Beddit could compensate for the device’s flaws but doesn’t. do not recommend.

by Jatjr111

Very disappointed that I will be returning this. Tried everything to connect via Bluetooth. Worked great for about a week, granted just doing what it does which is somewhat limited. But I found it very informative. Then just stopped connecting. Total pain
