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 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.

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!

The setup instructions are okay. Only I would add, do not put the phone in the bottom sheet pocket. Although closer to the Night Owl device on my finger, I believe it caused zero results. I think it needs to lie on a flat surface. Applying the tape can be tricky, too tight and it won't read. Not using oxygen and CPAP was very difficult for me. For me, it was better to give this at-home test a try versus driving an hour and a half to the Sleep Clinic.
