About this app

This app allows you to interact with the NightOwl sensor that measures signals from your index finger with a small light sensor to check if you have sleep-related breathing disorders.

You can set up the test in a few minutes using the in-app instructional videos. Wear the sensor for the prescribed number of nights to complete the test.

Ratings and reviews

I had to take the test twice, but that was due to user error. I had it on too tight the first night, so I accidentally turned the sensor off. I did not tighten as much the second, and it worked! this was my second sleep study, as the first used a bulky machine and I was unable to sleep. NightOwl uses a small fingertip sensor that you can barely feel, so I was able to sleep this time!

I did not find a place to put in the activation code. It still worked though but I spent time trying to find it. About 4 or 5 am it said my finger device wasn't positioned well. 5 hours later, and being awake I remember the paper instruction said just to redo it. At the time in the app, it said stop recording. I hit it thinking I needed to stop it to redo the finger device. Come to find out, I stopped it and couldn't restart it for the additional 4 hours of sleep. The app should give a warning.

Not a good app for uploading sleep data. I have been using the app for a week while trying to complete a four-day sleep study. The device connects through the app each night, but in the morning, it fails to upload on most occasions. The only way to stop the upload attempts is to remove and reinstall the app, and then redo the sleep study. It is a very easy app to navigate. This is why I have given it two stars. I reached out to NightOwl; I received a basic reply that it could be my connection.
