Latest reviews of Sleep Mate - Nightsleep Manager app for iPhone and iPad
I love the idea, but the GUI is not as intuitive as it could be. the sound regulators for each audio hardly change the output, they seem to be global instead of individual. A better way would be to add each audio to a list (like the favs) and give them each its own slider there. Some audios are also way louder than others, even when i try changing the sliders (wind > rain) I hope the audio sliders get fixed soon!
the sounds are so bad in this app that I dont really care what else it can do. for example, the "thunderstorm" sounds like a synthesizer-as do most of the other sounds. I would rate it negative stars if I could.
I thought this would be a perfect alarm clock. the current version, however, does not allow you to schedule alarms for the following day... it is a small bug that should really be fixed. once it gets addressed I may be able to give a better rating.. as of now the app is not worth it if you expect to use it for waking up.
Sounds great but it does not work if your phone ringer is on silent
I really wanted to like this app. It has a great icon and looked like it would have a lot of potential. But it needs work. The biggest problem is that the app shuts down when the phone goes to sleep. I did not find a setting to address this. I have several other sound effects apps and they all remain functioning when my iPhone goes into sleep mode. I cannot speak to the alarm because I havent tried it, but from a design standpoint there are several issues that need to be addressed to clean this app up visually. There are two pages of sound options, but the second page only has two sounds. Either keep it to one page, or fill the entire second page with options. Having just two sounds on page 2 is odd from a visual standpoint. On page one, the last three sounds have names that are too long and run into each other. Better to put long names like "Subway Train" and "Thunderstorm" next to short names like "Rain" so that the titles dont run into each other visually. From a logistics standpoint, I would appreciate a way to submit feedback to the developer other then writing a review. I think this app has serious potential, but it really needs some work to tighten it up.
