I have been using this app for a while now and I always used the heart rate and the recordings.. and now because of an update I can no longer do that.. I have to be a Premium user. Well that is sad because this was the only app I enjoyed using as a sleep tracker and now it becomes the same as any other.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to share this. Please note that Pillow offers an exceptionally wide set of free features that are great for basic sleep tracking. Some features do require a subscription but Pillow is very well usable to track your sleep for free. To be more specific, these are some of Pillow's free features: Basic sleep stage analysis, access to all previous sleep sessions (basic analysis only), unlimited alarm presets, smart wake up, Apple health integration, iCloud backup and syncing, a selection of free wake up melodies and sleep aid content, optimal bedtime notifications, editing sessions, re-analyzing sessions and more. That said, the monthly cost of Pillow Premium for a yearly commitment, costs as much as 1-2 cups of coffee. Considering the features and premium content that you get in return not to mention the fact that our team is working full time to improve and further enhance the app, we strongly believe it is very well worth the investment. Also, unlike many other "free" apps, we have chosen not to display ads and Pillow has always been in continuous development.If you are experiencing any problems using the free features of Pillow, please contact our support team to help you via the Helpdesk option under Settings.
