Pokémon Sleep in IOS

App Store Editors’ Notes

Almost perfect

I really have been enjoying using this app. There are a couple things I would like it to do that would make it even better. The first should be pretty easy: have the app categorized under Health & Fitness rather than Games. Most people interested in this app are going to have a crowded Games selection and little under Health & Fitness, so moving the app will make it much quicker to find and use. The second thing I would like is probably more difficult. If possible, I would like it if the app could report sleep data to the iPhone Health app. It’s the only sleep tracker I used prior to Pokémon Sleep, and because of how it keeps the phone active my Health app doesn’t think I sleep at all anymore. The last issue I have is with the day rollover. While I am not having trouble with it now, I was a couple weeks ago during some hard nights. I would go to bed in the early morning rather than closer to midnight, and the game would count my sleep from the wrong day. Sometimes problems arise and people go to bed much later than they want to. I would suggest having the day changeover based off the individual’s assigned bedtime (maybe 3-4 hours prior) rather than whatever arbitrary time it is currently set for. This would make most naps or disorganized sleep times count towards the sleep schedule of your previous bedtime rather the upcoming one, and would overall improve enjoyment for people who have sleep problems.

The BEST GAME i have ever played!!

I have genuinely never written a review for a game before.. that is how much this game has impacted my daily life. If you are thinking about getting Pokémon Sleep, definitely give it a try!! From the adorable art style, the joy I get when it’s time to feed my snorlax, to how much this game has motivated me to have a better sleep schedule (which I have struggled with for years), the game is perfect in all aspects to me. It is such a slow paced game in a way that makes it attractive to pick up every once in a while and it really is free to play unless you are genuinely a hardcore Pokémon Sleep gamer but I have not had it get in the way of ANY gameplay which is great! Also, no ads!! I am not missing out on any of the features and it’s truly a very fun and rewarding game especially when you unlock new areas to explore!! It’s a game that you can check in on once in a while and it will give you joy whenever you play. It motivates you to sleep in a cute and fun way! Seeing my sleep progress all laid out within the past month has been very rewarding. As well as my growing Pokédex collection!! I cannot stress how much joy this game has given me so I strongly recommend it!! If the creators are happening to read this… psst! I would LOVE to be able to befriend my favorite Pokémon, Dialga one day!! Thank you so much for your time and I hope I could’ve convinced anybody who was thinking about downloading Pokémon Sleep! :) -Titi

Fun but buggy

It’s a fun daily game that can be low maintenance, but it can also be really slow and buggy for what it’s worth. They don’t have a report a bug feature in the app so I’m just going to complain here. My biggest issue with the app is how slow the popups are. Every time you level up Snorlax you have to hit Ok 3 different times before you can resume playing/collecting ingredients/sleeping/etc. and it takes at least 15 seconds between each button, which can be a serious pain if you’re trying to play while you’re in a rush (like at work or right before bed). In fact I’ve lost sleep data due to that feature several times when I’m trying to start recording my sleep data. If Snorlax levels up before starting to record sleep data, the pop up will appear instead of sleep mode. If you put your phone down before the pop up appears and assume sleep mode is starting, you might miss a full nights worth of sleep data (like I have multiple times) which results in your Pokémon being too tired to function the next day and no chance to catch new Pokémon. Please fix this issue to make the game faster and more enjoyable. I don’t always have 10 minutes to watch Snorlax level up from basic 3 to great 2 especially if I’m trying to go to bed. Other things about this game straight up do not make sense either. Why is the theme blue if blue light is specifically proven to inhibit quality of sleep, for example? Make it make sense Pokémon.

Keep turning it off in middle of the night

I love the app it’s really cute and I love the inclusion of more than just gen 1 Pokémon I’m so happy to see more diversity in the options and not to mention the professor is adorable and so is the whole art style of the game and I like that there is some stuff you can participate in while awake too that’s a nice touch and it’s a great app defenitly but I do have some complaints Since you can’t turn your phone off while using it that means that the app will turn rgjjt back on if you tap the screen and you also need to have in on your mattress next to you to work so the issue I’ve been having is that I the middle of the night I will accidentally press the screen in my sleep and that will turn off the app and end the tracking resulting in inaccurate sleep results and I’ve also tried setting an alarm with it but because I accidentally turned it off at 2:00 am in my sleep the alarm didn’t go off and I woke up late so my mom had to get me up but I could see this being a problem in the future a single thing such as you have to hold the screen for 3 seconds to end the sleep tracking or just you can turn your phone off while it tracks woild easily solve this problem and I sincerely hope they do fix it so i can get accurate results and the alarm to actually work.

Cute Game But Minor Bugs

I REALLY love this game! I’ve been playing it for almost 2 weeks now and I love the feeling of waking up to see what Pokémon I have found hoping there’s a shiny one. My phone never overheats and neither does my charger thanks to the game dimming the screen or basically putting it in some kind of sleep mode. I’ve see reviews on phones overheating but we move in our sleep so you may have slept on it. Anyways, I do find it nice that there is a game that can track your sleep without paying like certain apps and I can get some feedback and some funny little recordings here and there. With the actual game though, if you take a nap and then go to bed that same day, it will not let you at all because you’ve already slept. I would love to where it let you take naps and also sleep at the same time. But also, I’ve only encountered this once but there was one time I slept from 11pm-10am and when I went to go review my data, it said there was nothing to be reviewed and I lost all that data and Pokemon I could’ve possibly encountered. But it has only happened once. If it occurs more than 3 times, I’m giving my rating a four star. But if you’re reading this please fix the sleep only once a day feature. It can make more people play during the day when taking naps and instead of just playing it at night.

very cute but some issues

I have been a Pokémon fan for as long as I can remember so of course when I saw there was a free app I could get I wanted to. I really enjoy this app overall, I think the different sleep types are super cute and I enjoy collecting berries and trying to get my food the extra tasty rating. But… I have been having issues as well. I’ve been using this app for about four weeks now and for some reason every single time I sleep the tracking stops at 6 hours and 2 minutes no matter how long I actually slept. There was one night I slept for 10 hours straight and was excited to have met my goal but then when I check on the app it had 6 hours of sleep and 4 hours of untracked time. I tried to go in and edit the sleep tracking to let it know I was in fact asleep but it wouldn’t allow me to change it. I’m not really sure what is causing this to happen, I don’t go to sleep at the same time every night so it’s not like my building is making weird noises and I also sometimes stay up after I set the tracker so it’s not like I naturally make a weird noise in my sleep exactly 6 hours into sleeping. Overall this isn’t much of an issue and doesn’t really impact the game much but it’s a bit annoying that I can’t change it and therefore will sometimes have 2-4 hours of untracked time every night.

I love Pokemon Sleep

Overall, the Pokemon Company has done a great job with the marketing and side project aspect of the business for a long time now. Unfortunately, GameFreak has fumbled the classic Pokemon titles with recent games like Scarlet and Violet. They have lost the allure that every Pokemon game has had since when I was a kid. Although, the last game that I felt had this same feeling was Legends Arceus. Just something about that game made me happy and excited to create a team of Pokemon. Pokemon Sleep is the first game in awhile from the company that has made me feel the same way. I love tracking my sleep and find it actually helps me to make sure that I am taking care of myself when I push too hard. I have taken some breaks but with the additions of new Pokemon, campsites, and events...I am fully invested. The grind is something I greatly enjoyed from earlier Pokemon titles I played as a kid. This game definitely has that and it has taken me since the release date to get some final evolutions for Pokemon I've had for months. The gameplay is so simple, the art style is gorgeous, and the game itself is a calming experience. If you can be disciplined enough to keep up with tracking your sleep every night with your phone plugged in, you will love this title. Please add Abra :)
