Rem: Auto Sleep Tracker Watch Reviews

by Brillianteden

This sounded promising, with the paid version offering to wake me at an optimal time. Rem appears to recognize disrupted sleep only when I physically get out of bed. I don’t need an app to tell me that I got up. The free version will only let me look at last night’s sleep record. Any attempt to look at another day throws up the ad for premium. Once dismissed, the information from the last night’s record is all that is available. Waste of time.

I thought I would enjoy Rem with all the positive reviews-but was very disappointed. The main reason was that when my free trial was over I wasn’t able to look back at previous days sleeping patterns without paying-not going to pay for that feature when it’s free in many other apps that work just as well as this one. I also didn’t really care for the sleep graph-I couldn’t click on it to enlarge, again I can do so on many other apps I have tried. Lastly- it doesn’t really differentiate the difference in my sleep modes.. this app, deep, light… very basic… deep or light!? Overall I would say I wasn’t too pleased with it-I have deleted Rem .

Hello there! I was very excited to use this to track my sleep because most other apps weren’t working for me. I’m going through the introduction and I keep on getting to the screen where it says “Why Sleep access is needed” so I go through that and allow Rem access to all my data but it still doesn’t work! I tried closing Rem , deleting it, and shutting off my phone but it still hasn’t worked. It’s just sad because I had high expectations. Hopefully this can be fixed!

Pros - easy to use, syncs automatically with Apple Watch health
Cons- like other sleep trackers I’ve tried it is not accurate if you don’t sleep all the way through the night I know it doesn’t track sleep less than an hour but I believe there are a couple of times I have slept maybe an hour and a half ,gotten up for a few minutes and returned to sleep. These nights seem to be reported as “no sleep”and as “no disruption “
Also not picking up naps as promised.

Rem itself works great, easy to understand and is pretty accurate from what I can tell. I do wish however, that the alarm on my Apple Watch was better. I am not hard to wake up but all it did was vibrate once or twice with a longer than preferred gap in between and only started to make sound once I lifted my wrist to see it (I was half awake when it went off so I remember it). The only other issue I have, it isn’t a big one, it that when my sleep gets so bad in the night it logs it as part sleep part nap. This definitely isn’t a deal breaker and I will still continue to use this sleep tracker!

This is a really good sleep app, but it doesn’t correctly identify the amount of time it takes me to fall asleep. I use the going to sleep now button on my watch, and when I wake up I turn off the quiet alarm. It gets the waking up part right, but tells me I didn’t go to sleep until 4am and it only took (every time) 15 mins to fall asleep? I really go to sleep around 11:30pm and it usually takes longer than 15 mins to fall asleep. I wish there was a way for me to correct this myself.

New sleep deprived mom here. I’ve been trying to see how much sleep I’m getting with it all broken up.

Such a minimal to the point app which is why I feel it will be so effective for me. Not a lot of information I don’t need to truly sleep better,and distract myself from the core of it.

I like the attention to detail. The colors of light, deep and disruptive in the graph are the same to identify the score of the items below with circles next to them. It helps to easily remember them.

I’d like naps to be included in the grand picture of sleep not a separate tab. Perhaps underneath night sleep. So you can look at both together and with ease.

I like the smart alarm and it truly woke me during my light stage. When I stop the wake up alarm however it stops collecting sleep data, for some this might not be a problem but I am the type to fall back asleep most mornings for another hour or two, and the watch completely misses these period of time giving me inaccurate results.

I’d also like their to be the option of am/pm not only military time.

Other then that it looks like the sleep tracker i’ll be sticking with. 👌

I've tested several sleep trackers now and this one has been the most accurate. I love that I don’t have to explicitly tell it every night that I’m going to bed, it figures it out, and it doesn’t record false positives during the day.

It also does a good job of accurately reporting data to the Health app. A few of the previous trackers I used really messed up my sleep data.

My only gripe is I wish there was a way to schedule daily smart alarms. Currently, I have to go in and set the alarm every night, which kind of ruins the whole “automatic” aspect of this.

I love Rem! Much better data and visuals than the native Health app! Seems to be even more accurate than my Sleep Number bed data. I was using this with my Apple Watch series 4 (worked great) and just got the new series 6, I’m hoping blood oxygen will be added into Rem soon! Amazing job, hats off to the developer.

I added this app to my sleep monitoring when I got my Apple watch. I already had experience with monitoring my sleep using another app on my iPhone.

this app has, by far, exceeded my other sleep app in terms of the amount of info I’m given and the accuracy of that info.

Accurately tracks my sleep, which is a big issue for me, and varies constantly. Author got back to me quickly when i was having technical issues (The problem was that my watch needed to be on a little tighter - one notch - so that my heart rate would be consistently tracked).

I like this better than the previous sleep app I tried, and I like it enough that I don’t feel the need to try another. Sometimes it says I fall asleep in less time than it actually takes me, but overall I really like Rem and I love the symbol of the adorable little yellow guy tucked in bed 😃.

I was using Pillow previously but to get the information I wanted I would’ve had to pay extra monthly. Too much to deal with, and I’m happy I did! this app is more accurate with my sleep patterns and I can get the information I want with the original subscription.

Rem works well and is accurate in detecting my sleep. I also appreciate your feedback box because it shows your attention to people. I don’t track my sleep every night because I don’t have any major sleep problem but when I used it I found it helpful and accurate.

by Windspryte

Helps me understand what my body needs to get restorative levels of sleep. I was surprised to learn how fast I usually fall asleep. I knew I needed 8 hours of sleep but didn’t realize I needed more time in bed to get them because of time needed to fall asleep and disruptions. Wind down time before bed more essential than I realized too.

Actually Rem getting better an better!
Getting good sleep is not easy and the this app sleep app is the best I have found after testing and using several other for years. Interesting enough while another app finds my sleep depth not restorative, this app by contrast tells the opposite. It would be nice if this app could also take Apple Pay.

by Tomas Mi

I like Rem because it is simple, has a lovely interface and most importantly is accurate in detecting when I fall asleep and when I was awake in the middle of sleep. I don’t use the alarm option because I hate being wakes up by alarm ringtones but if you are looking for a sleep tracker and a smart alarm, it should work for you

I watch the video for like app recommendations for school or mental health and I saw Rem and it looked pretty cool and I was doing the process and it says the allow section and I did what it said but it still says it and I can’t get through? How do you do it? Ima 8 year old trying to see how much sleep I get since I’m always on my phone 😂

I’ve been using Goodsleep app for about 2 months. Then it asked me to download their new app named this app and I did. As soon as I opened this app I could see all my previous sleep data. That was amazing! Not sure but I think this app is doing better in term of accuracy. I also enjoy the way it is presenting my sleep score history. That is some thing valuable to check every day.

To be fair, it is only the second app I have used. For the past five years I was using a Fitbit Charge, Blaze, and Versa 2. When my Versa 2 died after less than one year, I said “Enough!” and went with my Apple Watch.
At first I missed the Fitbit app because it had all my statistics in one app. But then I pulled up my Big Girl pants and started shopping and discovered Rem. And am I glad I did.
I often did not agree with the Fitbit app and looking at my sleep stats was a frustrating effort. Rem is so accurate that I am beyond pleased.
I never attained a 100% rating in the Fitbit app no matter how long or well I slept.
Last night I achieved 100% and it displayed waking up long enough to put my dog on the bed.
If you’re shopping for a great sleep monitor app, this one will not disappoint.
