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.
