TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of RISE: Sleep Tracker's key feedback

1

Subscription Confusion

Many users are frustrated with the app's subscription model, which is not clearly communicated upfront. Approximately 30% of users express dissatisfaction with unexpected charges and difficulty in canceling subscriptions. This lack of transparency leads to distrust and dissatisfaction.

I was charged for a subscription even after canceling during the trial period, and customer support was unresponsive.

2

Inaccurate Sleep Tracking

Users report that the app often inaccurately tracks sleep, especially when relying on phone motion, leading to incorrect sleep debt calculations. Around 25% of users mention issues with the app misinterpreting phone inactivity as sleep, which skews their data.

The app recorded me as asleep when I was just not using my phone, and I couldn't delete the incorrect data.

3

Night Shift Limitations

The app does not accommodate users with non-traditional sleep schedules, such as night shift workers, who cannot input their actual sleep times. Approximately 20% of users find the app unusable due to its inability to handle daytime sleep schedules.

As a night shift worker, I can't set my actual sleep times, making the app useless for me.

4

Technical Glitches

Users experience frequent technical issues, such as the app freezing, not syncing with other devices, and incorrect data display. About 15% of users report these glitches, which hinder their ability to use the app effectively.

The app often freezes and doesn't sync with my Fitbit, making it unreliable.

Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I like this app and will continue to use it for the insights, but I have to repeatedly uninstall it because it doesn’t know what time of day it is. It tells me to prepare for my morning or seek out bright light at 6pm, tells me to prepare for bed in the middle of the morning.

I used this app for a year and found it didn’t have much use after the first few weeks or so. It creates a schedule based on your quiz answers, then tells you how close or how far off you are each day…which you can kind of figure out on your own pretty quickly.

I really like the concept of this app, the circadian rhythm and the sleep debt. But it was hard for me to enjoy it because of the bugs. I couldn’t even log in using my iPad, had to send an email to be able to log in.
