It took me a few hours to the day to understand the app. It has been working very well for me and I had no issues of downloading the app and blue-toothing to my phone. I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I love that it shows the AHI, the hours of sleep time, and the mask fit. I also like the bar chart as well because it gives a perspective on my days of sleep. I also look at it online where I can see the whole picture better. Online DteamMapper gives a 14,30,60,90 days in which when you click on any of these numbers you can see the bar chart of Udage, AHI, and Mask Fit. It’s pretty cool. My Phillips DreamStation also comes with an SD card in which I can load into my computer all the data. One suggestion / recommendation I would like to see added to the DreamMapper is a tab that reads “months” and have it at the top in the menu bar. And then when you click on it a drop down window appears with all 12 months listed. This way you can select your month and click on the 30 day and see your data for that month and compare it to other months; oppose to using the arrows on each side to view past or future months . Vet nice app🔚👍🏻.

After three days of consistent crashes, the new app finally consented to run, and I could experience the disaster that has replaced a functional app. The presentation of daily sleep data, the core of the old app’s functionality, is now obscured by a completely redesigned interface full of clutter and secondary data. The easy-to-read bar graph display comparing the past seven days’ data has been replaced by a purely textual display that will show only one set of data at a time (one day, week average, or year average), inhibiting direct comparison between days and obscuring trends. Sync with your device, which used to be initiated immediately upon app launch, now doesn’t appear to happen automatically at all, even after force-quitting the app, and manual sync requires navigating multiple layers into your profile. Informational alerts that have been dismissed reappear upon a new launch. And on a purely minor note that nevertheless reveals the lack of care used in this app’s redesign, it has decided that the day between February 28 and March 2 is February 1, not March 1. I will continue to use the app because it is the only place I can get data on how well my mask fit overnight (a recurring issue for me), but that is only because I have not found another app that can interface with the DreamStation in this manner. I’m unhappy with Philips Respironics anyway after the recall fiasco, and this just further solidifies my resolve to switch to a different brand of PAP as soon as I can afford to do so.

When I first got the app, I struggled to Bluetooth connect to my CPAP machine. It must have been a learning curve, because now it uploads automatically every morning. As soon as I turn my machine off, I literally just tap the DreamMapper app to open it, and syncing is automatic. It is a little quirky if you try to "do the most" in connecting your Bluetooth. This is the only Bluetooth device that once connected will display the CPAP as both a connected and a connectable device (listed twice, which creates confusion, and difficulty if you try to "fix" this. Just connect once, and open the app daily and it will auto sync. The app gives you: Sleep hours, apneas, hypopneas, and is searchable by week with bar graphs, comparing your nights. There are helpful videos, goals, and product suggestions, which is nice to know about certain things, like the new portable CPAP for hiking, and things like that. Love it or hate it, I've learned to love this app and accept my sleep apnea. I've learned how to use it, and it is a super-easy component to my morning, which I believe it was programmed to auto-grab data every morning off the cpap. Just make sure the cpap is on (i.e. You just turned off the air) then open DreamMapper

I have found the Phillips Dreamware app to be a necessary diagnostic tool for helping me understand the quality of my sleep each night. I have been using it for many months now. The application indicates how long you wore the mask, the effectiveness of the seal it had with your face, and the overall AHI sleep index with a breakdown for the number of occurrences of obstructive apnea, clear airway apnea, and hypopnea during the sleep period. You can also generate column chart graphs for up to 90 days that show how long the mask was worn, the effectiveness of the seal, and the overall AHI index for each sleep period during the chosen span of days. Note: the breakdown of the AHI index is only shown for each sleep period. The only bug I have observed with the app is when it pops up an error message saying it failed to connect via Bluetooth, and yet when you click "OK" the data usually transfers despite the error warning (false error). One nice additional feature would be to download the sleep data as a CSV or tab delimited file so that you can better look at the raw data in Excel or some other spreadsheet tool of choice (for those who are more analytically minded).
