Ratings and reviews

Good features are getting removed from the application from time to time. For example the first Campfire Lullaby was super calming, realistic. It reminded me of the times when we went out to the woods to chill with tents and friends. It improved my onset time drastically. I simply don't know why good lullabies are getting removed, but this is super annoying.

The new UI is getting better. I think there are a couple of missing data metrics though. There used to be a sleep score, which I think is replaced with the spider graph, but a numerical overall score would help put it into context. If I remember correctly there was also an estimated percentage of effect the headband had on sleep. It would be interesting to see some data on how hard the headband was working to improve the user's sleep, which could then be compared to how effective it was.

I was a very poor sleeper. Several weeks into the program my sleep has tremendously improved and I can say that it works. I have a better understanding of my sleep and have changed several habits leading to a higher sleep efficiency (needed on average 45 min to fall asleep, now it's between 10-15 minutes). The app could improve its user experience and it's not always intuitive, it was confusing at the beginning, hence only 4 stars.
