Ratings and reviews

App says "Turn off battery optimizations needed", but the instructions given do not match the settings available in my Android settings. There is no option to allow unrestricted battery use. Sleep tracking seems to be triggered from my watch OK. Triggering from phone doesn't work. Starting on phone, then launching the watch app, causes the watch to become nonresponsive.

The app destroys my Garmins battery. My watch has recently only been lasting a day on my Fenix 5x.. It used to last a week or so. This issue needs to be resolved. Otherwise, I enjoy the data collection / sleep tracking capabilities. Edit: I've updated my rating to one star, as I can't deal with the battery drain anymore. From half battery to less than 10% in one night of sleep. This battery issue has to be resolved before I can recommend this app to anybody.

Knock on wood, I haven't experienced the battery drainage that other reviews mention. I'm currently using a Venu Sq with SW version 3.7. I have "data recording" on the watch set to "every second" instead of "smart" and I have Pulse Ox turned on full-time (all of which is supposed to be harder on battery life). Even so, my experience after a few days is that I lose 11-14% battery during an overnight sleep tracking of 7-8 hours. That's fine by me and I don't have any problems with functionality.
