What’s the catch? Aggressive ad load — reported by 41 users.
Analyzed automatically from 3 independent signals that had to agree — not a hands-on test, and not human-reviewed.
This analysis describes version 8.7.4 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-05 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 8.7.4, updated 2026-07-24.
What the analysis found
The catch list 1
Charges we publish at a strength we stand behind: measured from an artefact, agreed by independent sources, or reported by enough users to clear that charge's own published bar.
One source only — shown, not confirmed 4
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Aggressive ad load
Really? 🦠 — The free version shows ads including a fullscreen advertisement saying that my “device had been hacked” and I need to click a link to “cleanse my computer”. You’ve got to be kidding.
Too many Ad pop ups — It is a good app for tracking sleep, however i have the free version and every time I open the app it tells me to buy the paid version and it glitches my screen and i’m not even able to open the app. It is not worth…
The ads are ridiculous — The ads are extremely intrusive and render this app useless much of the time
Paywall blocks the basics
EVERYTHING is Paywalled — Literally everything is locked behind the paid upgrade. I would expect to have advanced reports or analysis locked, but the most basic functionality of a sleep recorder app is to record your sleep. You can record…
Not Worth It — You have to pay to get anything other than the current day’s info. This was fine until recently when it started counting time I was sitting as “sleep.”
Everything behind a paywall. Use the free version? You mean the one with every feature locked? GREED — Greed.
Upgrade prompts use guilt-trip wording
Too many Ad pop ups — It is a good app for tracking sleep, however i have the free version and every time I open the app it tells me to buy the paid version and it glitches my screen and i’m not even able to open the app. It is not worth…
stopped working — Used to enjoy this app and used it on the daily as it was more insightful and the data was clearer to read than the built in Health app. For well over a couple months, its stopped working. Tried a reinstall and it doesnt…
Good app, but — Pretty annoyed because I paid for the full version of this app well before it switched to a subscription, but now that it’s a subscription I get absolutely nothing? I already PAID, and I got to keep literally nothing from…
Trial converts to a charge
Not free at all — They want to charge you money to listen to your own recordings of you sleeping. They have what they call a 7 day free trial that you just have to give them all your info and credit card info to use, which is annoying and…
They will charge you on your free trial — It’s not 7 days free trial then charge, it’s a charges first then the year starts after 7 days. I just wanted to try it but didn’t want to commit yet. I feel swindled
HIDDEN CHARGE IN TRIAL — I deleted the app before the free trial ended, never saw a subscription in Settings, and still got auto-charged $39.99. Since the payment failed, Apple locked my account. Now I have to pay just to ask for a…
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.

These are really on sale; we just can’t tell from the name whether they recur.
How the automated analysis works
This assessment is produced automatically. Three independent signals are read — user reviews, the store listing and the store privacy disclosure — and each candidate finding is filed under the sources that support it.
No charge stands on one kind of evidence — with one published exception. A finding is either a measured fact that anyone can reproduce (an ad SDK is in the package; every subscription bills weekly; the privacy label omits a tracker we can see), or it is an interpretation — and an interpretation needs independent sources to agree before it reaches the catch list. The exception is a harm only users can see: a charge may publish from reviews alone, as “Reported by N users”, once enough reviewers raise it to clear that charge’s own published bar. That agreement rule is what replaced the human reviewer, not a model’s confidence.
There is no overall score, on purpose. A 0–99 number was published here until 2026-09-15. It was withdrawn because it discriminated too weakly to be the instrument — 44.7% of every pair of apps tied — and because a single number is a verdict where a count is an observation. What publishes instead is a row of measurements, each of which says what was counted and, where we could not look, says that instead.
Findings under One source only are real reports we do not stand behind as findings. They are shown because withholding them entirely would hide a genuine complaint, and labelled because publishing them as charges would be an accusation off a single source.
Several measurements above say “Not assessed” because no artefact we hold can answer them. A human review is what resolves those — and it can remove a favourable band as easily as add one.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
