RISE: Sleep Tracker for Android

I’m stuck on the page forcing me to pay $60 for the app, but still get notifications. Just can’t look at the app. That’s insanely annoying. There’s no free version.

Phenomenal app. I love seeing my energy schedule throughout the day and I find it to be quite accurate. My only issue with the app is that as of late it has become very buggy. Basically it seems like any night that I get less than two hours sleep (which sadly does happen sometimes) it basically does not register at all. As in my energy levels don’t change at all , as if my sleep debt had not changed (when in fact it should’ve increased significantly). i’ve noted that this phenomenon seems to happen when the sleep entry is less than two hours in length. Basically if you have an eight hour entry and then you shrink it to a 2 1/2 hour entry, usually your sleep energy will go down, and your sleep debt will go up, correspondingly. But if you have an eight hour entry and you shrink it to a five minute entry, the sleep energy doesn’t change in the least. Nor does the sleep debt. Even by the next day. It’s as if it just ignores that night rather than actually believing that I didn’t really sleep that night. But worse, sometimes even when the entry is longer than two hours, it still ignores it. Regardless of how long or short it is. And even if I fiddle with the entry to increase or reduce the amount of time. I’ve confirmed this by editing my sleep from last night and lengthening it from five hours to 10 hours or from 10 hours to three hours, and the sleep energy and debt remain exactly the same. Not correct. At this point I’m spending nearly 30 minutes a day just trying to give it a time that it will accept, even if it’s a little bit off, to see my approximate sleep energy. Which defeats the entire purpose of the app. This latter bug is a lot more confusing to me. And a lot more frustrating because it’s so much harder to work around. It is much more inconsistent and I don’t have a theory as to when it happens. I have tried everything. I’ve tried tweaking the times. I’ve tried editing the times through different menu options. I’ve tried restarting the app. I’ve tried restarting my phone. I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it and logging back in. Nothing works, so I have to assume this is a bug of some kind. I will be more than happy to update my review to give it a five star as soon as this issue is fixed, or, sadly, to reduce it to a one star if it isn’t. I’m also more than happy to work with the development team to give them any information they need from me to help replicate the problem. Given that they are regularly updating the app I do anticipate that this will be fixed and I can’t wait to get back to using one of my favorite apps every day!

I don’t know if the app works, I just know they make you go over all the setup first to come and charge you $$$$.. there is no other way to use the app. Payment and subscribing should be disclaimed in the beginning!!!!

The entire premise of the app is that your daytime functioning or fatigue etc is based solely on sleep debt, nothing else; sleep apnea, insomnia, other chronic or transient health issues are completely ignored. You can enter the amount of sleep you need, however the app will completely ignore it and go by it’s own algorithm for what it has decided you need, based on your insomnia, early wake ups from sleep apnea, or reduced sleep time for appointments, work, life, neighbors, etc. Emailing support results in months of, “it shouldn’t do that”, “I’ll have the engineers look into that”. After months of the “engineers looking into that” and the app still can’t calculate sleep debt, WHICH IS THE PREMISE OF THE ENTIRE APP, it’s basically a waste of time and a ridiculous amount of money for a sleep app that can’t perform a basic function.

I am very impressed with your application it is the best sleep app I've ever used and I have tried them all due to my insomnia and now my daughters issues with sleep - i only just started using the app but have learned so much about the causes of lack of sleep and also how to better use my day to benefit me and my energy levels ! Thank you so much to the developers of this app you are really making a difference in my n my childrens lives !
