Pillow: monitorowanie snu 4+

I bought this app because I want to use it as alarm and sleep tracker with my Apple Watch, but I feel is missing the vibration when is time to alarm in the Apple Watch and the feature auto detect sleep, this could be a great feature, you just put an alarm all week days at 8am and then you don’t need to do nothing more just go to sleep, right now you need to go to your Apple Watch and press the button Start :|

When I try to edit and save an sleep period the app crash..

Three stars because it has a problem with detecting afternoon naps. It does it rarely even if I reset learning and teach it to detect sleep very often. Edit: dear Developer: I did not say I have a problem with unexpected sleep analysis, but that I have problem with not having this analysis sometimes when I sleep in the afternoon. EDIT: since the uptadte when all the bells and whistles appeared, like snooze lab, it has become useles. It records the begining of sleep half an hour or even more after I fell asleep. I know this for a fact.

Edit 3: yes, it is turned on. It still randomly chooses not to record afternoon naps.

Where did my old review go? I spent time writing this! Anyway a fresh copy with some new comments - for your reading pleasure...

That’s a ripoff. Basic feature relegated to paid only option which could be fine if not for exorbitant subscription pricing.

This exemplifies everything what’s wrong in the subscription based app business model. I’d happily pay for some basic features but I have zero interest in feeding the team of developers sitting somewhere in the world, adding useless gimmicks to otherwise good app just to make up for their sheer existence while converting the app to a bloatware in the process.

Yeah - this developer justifies switching to subscription model by having to keep the team.

Fire them and get back to basics... Geez.

Also, the free version has a bug (I refuse to believe it’s a feature) whereby you need to open the app every day otherwise it won’t sync data to Health. Of course, next day = can’t reach back to history as it’s a paid option. And the data is gone.

Or maybe I’m missing something. I certainly miss the days when served single purpose and worked...

Hello! The free version of Pillow gives you full access to the latest detailed sleep analysis, sleep quality score, total average of sleep quality and duration, time to sleep, mood reporting, smart wake up functionality, and Apple Health integration, iCloud Syncing and backup, a selection of 3 alarm melodies, sleep session editing, support for the Apple Watch and iPad all of which are very useful for sleep tracking. This is a unique feature set that millions of our customers use to sleep better and we intend to enrich and enhance it even further on upcoming updates. Regarding Apple Health synchronization, Pillow requires access to your Apple Health data in order to perform sleep analysis and detection and send a report in the morning. However, access to that data is not possible while your iPhone is locked so Pillow uses a special way to run in the background while your iPhone is unlocked in order to successfully detect any sleep session. Unfortunately, that background access is controlled by iOS and can get misconfigured for reasons beyond our control. Our recommendation is to launch Pillow for the next 5-7 days at your time of preference to help iOS recalibrate and adjust. If the issue persists, please contact our support team to help you.
