Helped Me improve my sleep!
This app has helped me so much. I’m bipolar 2 and so l struggle with getting enough sleep. I started using Pillow to understand what was going on. While you can’t take it as gospel or a replacement for real medical tests (as the app even informs you), Pillow provides a lot of great insights, patterns, and data to help you understand your sleep habits. You have to keep in mind there’s not much the app can directly do to improve your sleep, but with sound recording, metrics on the types of sleep you’re getting, and the number of awakenings, you can start to address specific things about your bedtime habits.
I initially found I was consistently getting too much REM sleep and too little deep sleep. So I started looking at how I slept. I have the TV on when I fall asleep. It struck me that the blue light may have been keeping me up, so I set a sleep timer on the tv. I was immediately able to see the impact with better levels. Then I began taking a very small dose of melatonin. Again I saw even more sleep quality.
I’m still finding ways to improve my sleep and Pillow has helped me more than any other method. Try this app out. The premium is worth the money!

Not intuitive on Apple Watch
I like the app and would rate higher but the Apple Watch issue really drives down the value for me at this point. - My suggestion is to find a way to simplify how the sleep analysis works on Apple Watch and ensure that it does so consistently. Not to mention if you need troubleshoot support that you can get it from beginning to end. It seems it worked fine when I first got the watch (3 days of painless reporting on my watch) and now it never shows my sleep analysis information on the watch. I’ve basically gotten fed up with attempting to trouble shoot - no real help from support. Now I just let it do it’s thing when I sleep (automatic tracking), and check the app on my phone now after spending almost 2 weeks trying to figure out the issue. I’ve done every possible fix available - still doesn’t update on my watch. Now I just use Apple sleep complications for my watch main screen and just check Pillow on my phone. It’s a little frustrating tho - not going to lie. I personally love the color and design of the analysis of Pillow for the main watch screen complication over the Apple sleep analysis, but I can’t get it to work and frankly I’m over trying. I pay for premium and considering that - I’d like to access all the functionality but at this point I’m tired of banging my head on the wall. Other than that (which is so so SO frustrating) it’s alright, but this pain point definitely drives my review scoring. Otherwise, I’d give the app 4-5 stars.
Let's go PJatO,
Great until it wasn’t
When I first got this app it was great. I was so happy to find a sleep tracking app that worked with Apple Watch and didn’t force you to pay just to track your sleep. The automatic sleep detection was absolutely awesome. I loved the interface. It was annoying how you had to buy the premium version to see your past sleep data, but not a deal breaker. But then one day the automatic sleep detection stopped working. I would wake up and eagerly check the Pillow app only to see that it didn’t collect any data. I thought it might be a problem with my Apple Watch so I went through all of the steps to make sure it was detecting my heart rate, had permission to collect data, etc. none of that worked. I turned off automatic sleep detection mode and put it to manual. And it worked! But as I was checking my sleep data in the morning I got a low battery alert on my phone. My phone that had been at 100% 7 hours before was now at 14% without me using it. I also quit all of my apps before going to bed. This also happened the next few nights I used manual mode. I can’t help but to think that that is the cause of the power drain. I don’t have a place to plug my phone in overnight where my phone can still be in range of my watch, so this is a problem for me. I’m going to try turning automatic sleep detection back on tonight to see if it detects anything/if it was just a glitch. Aside from that, the app is really great and I would really like to keep using it.
Abb1e,
Using extensive iPhone battery
UPDATE#2- I appreciate the developers response and will try again with their suggestions.
UPDATE #1- I have disabled this app. After following the developer’s suggestions, the app became inconsistent. It stopped showing night wake times and gave me the exact same reading for multiple consecutive days. Loved the app when I first used it. Now…not so much. I can get the same information excluding night wake up information from my Sleep app included with my Apple watch. ——- Original post- After spending 2 hours with Apple support only to have them recommend talking to the developers (I have and none of my messages have been seen or answered.) The problem is my 10 XR running IOS 15.1 phone battery usage. When I use my Apple Watch 6 running IOS 8.1, it shows battery usage between 63-74% in the morning with 6+ hours of onscreen usage. When I use my Apple Watch 3 running IOS 7.6.1, it uses 3%. Both are in manual mode. The pillow app is set to turn off the screen after 10 seconds. Apple support ran diagnostics and battery health and phone are fine. The only thing he thought could be causing the problem was that Pillow was not truly turning the screen off or putting it into lock screen. I have tried every fix to be found in the Apple Support and online communities with no success. I don’t want to have to use my older watch just to save my phone battery. Very frustrating!

Soup Spoon 18,
Very inaccurate. Waste of money.
It never auto detects sleep even though it claims to do be able to do so. Whenever I manually tell app I’m going to bed- it shows me as being up throughout the night when in fact I’ve slept all night. There is no consistency with it. I will not be renewing my subscription. I even reached out to customer support- they were very quick to respond but the one solution they offered did not work and I already read that solution and tried it on the FAQ page prior to reaching out to support. It did not fix the problem. The app is just terrible.
Update: My iPhone is newer and up to date and I’ve given permission to apple health and all other permissions it asks for. I’ve even restarted my phone after giving permissions as your customer support team asked me to do. It will only detect sleep if I hit start from my watch app AND while the phone app is open as well. My wifi works good but the watch says I must open the app on the phone to be able to press start on the watch. If I only push start from the phone while wearing the watch, it won’t detect/record any sleep. When I have the phone app open and I hit start from the watch it will record my sleep but most of the time it’s wrong and says that I’m awake when I know for a fact I didn’t wake up at all, and in that case it won’t let me edit any portions that say I’m awake for me to specify that I was asleep it says that I have to update permissions but they are all turned on.

Caribbean Jim,
Provides fascinating information about yourself
Not merely how well you sleep and how it can vary according to factors you can record at bedtime. Also wether you snore or talk in your sleep, and what you say. The graphs plotting "sleep quality" versus "weight" are clinically significant only if you have weight-induced sleep problems, likely if your BMI is 35 or more. For the comparison to heart rate, an iWatch is best, since it monitors your wrist pulsations continuously and allows the app to compare it to the movement and audio data it monitors while under your pillow. This will expose a side of you that you knew nothing about, fascinating in itself, and may warn you of upcoming or ongoing health problems. A truly useful app. It is the first thing I look at EVERY morning! With the “iWatch” the amount of info generated is fascinating, but …. When you don’t wear the watch you get nothing, whereas when I did not have the iWatch the app would monitor my sleep with the iPhone under the pillow. The problem seems to be that when I forget to put the Watch on after charging the battery, I also forget to put the iPhone under the pillow. I’ll work on that for a future update of this review. ¡Great app! Don’t go to sleep without it😂
Faitheloo,
Great App
Okay, I’m going to start off by saying that I love the app. It works wonderfully, and the technology seems to be greatly engineered to check when I really am sleeping and when I wake up. The audio recordings are great, they’ve caught me saying some hilarious things in my sleep.
I do have some suggestions. I understand that the feature where you can either shake the phone or hold the button for three seconds are meant to make sure people are really awake and getting up. Well, I happen to be a pretty light sleeper, and I get up very well, and I own the full version of the app but I’ve noticed that there is no option to just tap to disable the alarm. I’d like this feature to be implemented if it’s not too much to ask.
Also, I think it may be cool to have a dream journal added. Like when you wake up, there may be a notepad there for you to begin typing out what you dreamt, and it keeps track of the night you dreamt it and stores it somewhere. There should also be an option to click a button that says, “I don’t remember what I dreamt.” And to go back and begin a journal entry if you didn’t remember it at first but now do/didn’t have the time to type it then.
Thank you for your time!
I do have some suggestions. I understand that the feature where you can either shake the phone or hold the button for three seconds are meant to make sure people are really awake and getting up.

Update ruined this app
This is the first review I have ever written on the Apple store, because I generally don’t care enough about apps to say anything, but I have to this time.
The Pillow app was the best thing I ever discovered over a year ago. It helped me figure out the proper amount of sleep I needed, which was always a question as I am an insomniac. I would tell anyone to download this app if complained about sleep in any regard.
However, the newest update is the worst! Everything is totally changed, so if you’ve gotten used to the layout for the last YEAR, your muscle memory means nothing. It’s harder to access past night’s data. The new alarm set up of having ore-sets is a good idea, but if you want to add a new one you have to swipe through every single one of them to get to the add button. And worst of all, if you accidentally swipe the app closed, it doesn’t automatically save your data like it used to. I have now lost about 5 days worth of data since updating last week, and before then, for the last year, I had had less than 3 days missing from my own human error, not the app.
I would just delete the app and try a new one but unfortunately I had bought a year subscription to their premium access and it was recently renewed. So thanks for ruining this app and stealing my money ✌️

Automatic Analysis
I don’t always hit the bed at the same time. As long as I’ve charged up my Apple Watch (and wearing it), Pillow has never missed a sleep cycle.
Being able to visualize your sleep cycle and quality is very valuable…especially when you attach a note indicating what kind of day you’ve had and your mood. The same is true of post-sleep cycle notes.
I have sleep apnea as well as a bilateral lung transplant recipient (20yrs out). Sleep and breathing are very critical parts of my overall health.
I currently own a Series 5 Apple Watch…but look forward to upgrading soon. The upgrade to a Series 8 (or next generation) would provide additional data tracking of my O2 level during my sleep cycles. Im not sure if the new models track your respiratory rate…but that would be a great piece of information to add to the collection of data.
No, I’m not getting paid for this review (I wish). Im most impressed by Pillow’s automated detection system. When I began using the program, I would adjust the placement of my phone…start a session and all that. I’ve tossed all that and just let Pillow do its thing.

Aviation05,
Could be better.
I see that the developers are still making changes, I have seen new ones since the major update like they brought back some old sounds that are really good, but the new sounds need work still. Both fireplace sounds are bad, one sounds like it’s in a wind tunnel and the other just doesn’t sound right, and that urban rainfall sound just needs to go. Nobody wants to hear cars drive by, or sirens, or people talking. Also you need to fix the sleep sessions calendar, I can’t access previous sleep sessions to see how my sleep was on pervious days or even the day I finished my most recent sleep session once I close the app. I have to look at it then and there. The calendar just opens for a second and then closes, can’t click on a different day on the calendar to see that day. I paid for the premium version on the old version of the app and I really liked it, but not being able to see previous days sleep sessions is kinda a deal breaker, the trends section doesn’t give the whole story on sleep quality or how well you slept. Please fix the sleep sessions calendar and the sounds. Also I don’t know of anybody that likes any kind of talking stories or guided meditation sleep talks either. Everyone kinda just wants simple noise with no talking to sleep, the talking keeps a brain to active and awake.
