Mintal Tracker:Sleep Recorder Reviews

by Paige C Walker

I’m writing this after one night of use but here’s what i have to say so far. The biggest issue I had with MintalTracker was that even though I set the alarm to off, it still went off at 7:30 and brought me out of a dead sleep, of which I couldn’t go back to. After giving up on trying to go back to sleep after the rude awakening I checked my stats. It was very prominent about how I “didn’t get enough sleep”, (hmmm WONDER WHY) It also didn’t record any sleep talking or snoring data, however that doesn’t bother me too much because I never really thought I was a very loud sleeper anyways. Overall for being a free to use app it is pretty great. However I advise everyone to read the terms and conditions. It also drains a ton of battery.

I love MintalTracker. I have been using it to see how I sleep and I'm trying different sleep methods out. However, the night before I started it with the sound. The sound would suddenly stop and I'd check it and it stopped tracking completely. So eventually I just didn't do the sound and just had the tracker. It tracked all through the night. But last night, I started just the tracker. This morning, I wake up and it has stopped tracking at some point and didn't track through the night.
I would just love for it to track without stopping. The sound isn't a must but the tracking is.
I only have the free version and that worked just fine, until now.

I like MintalTracker a lot. I agree with many positive reviews and find the data provided by MintalTracker very helpful in understanding my sleep problems. I do have two suggestions that I think will make the user experience even better.

(1) Combining records
I woke up last night and paused tracking, and after about 15 minutes, went back to sleep and started the tracker again. I should’ve continued the tracking instead of doing this but even if I did, I wish there was a way to combine these two reports, since they are both from the same night even though it was interrupted in the middle.

(2) Snoring as a % of total sleep time
I noticed the time snoring is compared from the previous day on an absolute scale (ex. 15 min less than yesterday). However, if the total time asleep is different, this absolute comparison is quite meaningless. I wish there were both absolute comparisons as well as a relative measurement (percentage, ex. 10% of sleeping time) for easier comparison across time.

I really like MintalTracker the only thing I wish I could do is I go to bed and I forget to turn on the tracker which I know there’s an alarm to remind you but I go to sleep at different times every night then I wake up in the middle the night and turn it on around 3 AM and then I wake up around 8 AM and then MintalTracker tells me I didn’t sleep enough and I wish you would let me fix the times it says I go to bed because again I forget to put it and I wish I could just correct it like edit it when I wake up. And then I also wish that after you listen to the recording of you snoring if you werent actually snoring and you can’t hear it in the video it gives you the option to delete it so it doesn’t count you down for snoring.

This probably one of the best sleep apps I’ve found in terms of data analysis, but there are a few reasons I went with a different app…

1) Price. The subscription to Mintal’s reports costs $60/year on sale. (normally over $100!) That’s more than double what many other sleep apps charge. I’d be willing to pay up to $30/year, but $60 just for sleep data reports is way too high.

2) No heart rate data, respiratory rate, or blood oxygen levels. Despite the fact that MintalTracker says it accesses the Apple Health data, it does not show up in any of the graphs, reports, etc. That’s something every other app shows you, so you can see how your heart and breathing rates compares to sleep quality throughout each night.

3) Can’t edit sleep factors. Sleep factors are great for tracking triggers for better/worse sleep. But every other sleep apps lets you edit the ones you use most, and remove the ones you don’t. Mintal gives you what they think are factors for everyone and you cannot edit them. That’s frustrating.

4) No Apple Watch integration. Using the microphone on the phone is great, but many other apps integrate that with also using the motion detection from wearing the Apple Watch to bed. Mintal ignores that part, and only uses the audio, no motion data.

Outside of these 4 issues, it’s a great app. If they add these features and ever offer a lower subscription (or a lifetime option), then I would consider switching to MintalTracker.

I’ve been using this tracker for a week. Sleep is an integral biological function with quality of sleep impacting our day. MintalTracker goes further how much time you sleep by identifying measures that impact the qualitative nature of your sleep. The potential WHY feel rested and refreshed, or not, when you wake. The microphone records noise over night which still creeps me out but what I confirmed and learned about my sleep is priceless.

I’ve listened to clips (yes creepy) pinpointed on the sleep cycle report and LEARNED I SNORE A LOT and at times I STOPPED BREATHING or severely limited my breathe intake, a potentially serious condition!!

I’m on a quest to improve my sleep quality through obvious factors (mattress is uncomfortable; adjust sleep / head position; stop coffee resumed a few days ago) before jumping to any conclusion of a serious condition. This tracker will help me assess whether my change worked to improve my sleep. More to come!

I started using this because my husband was so enthusiastic about tracking sleep. Seeing my own sleep patterns and coming to terms with my lack of sleep has helped me make significant changes.
Sleep has a huge impact on our quality of life, our mood, our lucidity.
It’s like keeping a food journal and knowing if I eat those midnight brownies, I have to write them down. This started with me wanting to have “good numbers“ and ended with my own astonishment that I had a better and more productive life when I prioritized sleep.

I’m currently awake in my bed from insomnia and I’m hoping this will cure and or help me see further into my dreams. I struggle at night due to the overwhelming dead scilence of the night. ( It also doesn’t help that I’m 17 and have ADHD as well as Ashburgers witch make me struggle with certain tasks. At night I listen to classic music, I’m hoping MintalTracker won’t pick up the music too much and actually hear what I’m doing in my sleep. Thank you for making MintalTracker I’m gonna try this later in the night the time currently is 12:21 wish me luck

I don’t remember how i found out about MintalTracker but i’m glad i found it. i thought it would be interesting to hear what goes on when i’m asleep and how my current cycle is affecting my health, and MintalTracker does both of those things at no cost. MintalTracker also keeps a journal for all your tracked sleeps every day of the month for the entire year. MintalTracker is just extremely convenient, easy to use, and beneficial when it comes to giving attention to your daily sleeping cycle.

This is one of my new favorite apps it’s the only alarm that is ever worked for me cause it wakes you up when you’re in your littlest stage of sleep that is around the time you need to be up it also tracks your movements and you’re surroundings while you sleep and tell you if you need adjustments to your sleeping area it tells me if I got enough sleep or if I didn’t but one of my favorite parts is while you are tracking your sleep you can even play rain noises but ones that sound more realistic and are soothing I love thisdefinitely download it

MintalTracker is great! My boyfriend was sleeping on the couch because my snoring was keeping him awake, and something had to be done. I downloaded MintalTracker, and while browsing through its list of potential remedies, I came across a wedge pillow, which I had never heard of before. That sounded way more pleasant than sticking things up my nose to open my airways, so I ordered one, and bam! Snoring solved! I might upgrade to the paid version just as a thank you, but the recordings and information provided by the free version were all I needed to get me from a Snore Score of 34 down to a 0.

Good morning,
I’m trying this sleep app because I’ve been having bad nightmares, active nightmares, fall out of bad nightmares…I’m not only active in my nightmares but I’m crying out for help. I sleep with my window open and I’m wondering what my neighbors here?? So I’m now using MintalTracker to see if I’m talking out loud as well as being physically active..So far it’s only caught me snoring a couple times throughout the night. App password to great so far and should be quite interesting while using it on my next night I have nightmares I pray that night doesn’t happen but I’m sure it well..

I’ve tried a couple of sleep apps to get some insight on why how and when I wake up tired. Some apps were good but fell short of giving me the full picture of my sleep patterns and what I maybe doing wrong. I don’t buy a lot of apps but this one helped improve my health and my overall mood everyday. If you have any problems with sleep MintalTracker the support team is very willing to help. So try it and understand what do you have during your sleep. I don’t write many Reviews but this application helped me maybe it will do the same for you.

Love it but some room for improvement. MintalTracker made waking up to go to work go from a chore to something that became an easy and pleasant experience. The ability to have a range of a time that it will wake you up in works great- and really does allow you to wake up not feeling groggy. I still use MintalTracker even when I’m not getting up for work. Sometimes the percentage feels “off” to what you feel, but that’s not the end of the world. If you feel good, you feel good. A lot of this I think is because it wakes you up when you’re ready.

I love waking up early but I struggle so much actually doing it. I literally set about 5 alarms to try to get myself out of bed. And if I don't set an alarm (because I read your body will wake itself up when it has had sufficient rest) i sleep for 10-12 hours. My first night using MintalTracker I was a little weary about if it would actually work. I set a few other alarms after when it was supposed to wake me up just so I wasn't late. BUT IT WORKED! It went off about 6:20 because I said I wanted to get up between 6:15 and 6:45 and I woke up turned it off and was expected to fight myself to stay awake like norma.

I decided to rate MintalTracker as a trucker I don’t have set sleep times. I wanted to see if my sleep is different from home and on the road. This isn’t a cure or self diagnosis but to see if there’s a sleep problem. I actually did two different ones MintalTracker another. The other app was hard to navigate and to understand completely. I came back to this one finishing my trail period I bought the year. I’ve been very impressed with MintalTracker. There are some things need to be handled like put a pause on it because I do get calls. Plus monk or Native American flute. But over all I’ve noticed a great deal of better sleep both home and on the road.

Ok, so I spent the money for the year subscription, and I have yet to disappointed in MintalTracker. It records EVERYTHING. My family and friends have always told me that I sleep talk, but I didn’t believe them. Got MintalTracker and I now have proof that is clear as day! It also tracks the quality of your sleep which is pretty awesome too. MintalTracker has recorded snoring, sleep talking, and even earthquakes(I live in LA, and MintalTracker picked up the rumbling sounds). If you are searching for proof that you or someone you know sleepwalks or snores, get MintalTracker!
PSA: I am a totally random person, and haven’t been paid for this review at all. In fact, I can’t even remember MintalTracker prompting me to give a rate and review.

I have never posted a review for an app, or posted a review on anything for that matter. However, MintalTracker is too amazing not to! My fiancé has been complaining about how I have started snoring for months. He recently sent me the link to download Mintal Tracker, and after two nights of using it I was blown away. I can’t believe MintalTracker is free! It gives you so much information on your sleep and other things that are causing poor sleep quality. It also has tips and videos with solutions for the things that are stopping you from having a good nights sleep. Because of MintalTracker, I now know I have a mild risk for sleep apnea and have scheduled a sleep study. Thank you so much Mintal Tracker!

Go ahead and install it, and just let it run with the presets. As you begin to monitor it on a daily basis, you will begin to understand the elements of information, discover adjustments that you want to make make and will learn how to fine tune the results you see and the features that you use so they are most meaningful to you. I tried to install, make adjustments and understand all at the same time and it was overwhelming. Give it some time and you will find it an invaluable tool for providing clues to your own sleep habits and things you can do to improve the quality of the rest you get. MintalTracker explained a lot of things to me in terms of the relationship of my environment, diet and activities to my sleep patterns.

Hello all! I have ADHD and already struggle to focus during the day, but I also struggle with sleep. Falling asleep and waking up have always been a major challenge, and unfortunately, sleep is an absolutely crucial part of being able to the chance of having a good or productive day. I had a choice of waking up late or simply not being able to function at all (having no energy). MintalTracker completely changed that. Now I can at least get up easier, and that has made everything else in life quite a bit easier, even falling asleep. Just knowing that its there helps. MintalTracker makes it easy to wake up refreshed, ready to take on the day. The results of positive effect MintalTracker has had on my life cannot be measured. I don’t (want to) know what I would do without MintalTracker. Actually, I do. I’d be a great deal more miserable. Thank you!

I love MintalTracker. I use it nightly at home and really convenient when traveling!

by Doralyn Cassels

MintalTracker is great if you are stressed and just need to relax or if you're like me it has different sounds to help me fall asleep which is really helpful. It's easy to use and has realistic features.
