Sleep As Android GearCompanion

Update: after waiting some time, and updating the app, everything appears to be normal again. Drained 25% over a 10 hr sleep which is perfect. Great addition to the sleep as Android app! OLD: Worked perfectly for over a year. Suddenly around the beginning of October it started fully draining my gear s3 battery. I haven't changed the way I use it at all. Used to drain ~30% overnight, now drains ~100%. Hopefully an update will restore the original battery drain at some point.

i've been using for over a year with galaxy active watch and been fine until the last week. Now significant drain over night 76% over 9.5 hours. I've tried a re-install of native gear, but it's not helped. Edit. I've had an email from the developer of the app and thank them greatly for that. The email detailed the problems they have with Samsung Active and my issue is caused by Samsung tech and the trade off between accuracy and battery efficiency. It's a shame because I love this app. At the moment I'm using it with Sonar and not linking my watch to the main app so no battery drain to the watch. Hopefully there will be a workaround in the near future, but by the sound of it, it will be at the price of lower accuracy.

Keeps on running, sending constant notifications to my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 8) during the day. I've tried numerous troubleshooting ideas but I can't fix this issue. Never had issues with the actual phone app, but running this on my Galaxy Watch3 has minimal benefit. The reason I keep it is can get better info re REM sleep/HR overnight. The constant phone notifications all day every day are a reminder that this add-on has significant flaws.

Why doesn't it start when sleep is started? It used to work, but stopped after some update months ago. I have to go to Google Play store, find the thing and open it each time before I sleep, otherwise it won't connect with the watch or at least very rarely. Update: it's the 'Auto start' permission that was missing, not the battery saver configuration - just as I described above. Update 2: nope, still broken and does not start or report error. BTW the play|pause buttons on the watch never worked

When it works it's excellent, but much like the most recent reviews, it has not been working for me this past while. It gives me a "Connecting to Gear. Press stop to cancel" message during the day on my phone, and then at night it won't connect to the sleep app, so I've resorted to using an old android Wear watch that works perfectly with the android Wear version.

I've only used it for a few days but it seems to work really well. I get more detailed information than I was getting from using sleep as Android alone. The only difficulty I've had is it seems to be very difficult to get the app on the phone to stop in the morning. You tap on it and it says long press to stop. I don't know how long a long press is but it doesn't seem to want to stop.

Works as expected, very good actually - unfortunately uses quite a lot of battery (30% in 7 hours). Easily 5 star app if battery consumption could be brought down! Will keep trying and update review if anything changes. In response to reply: All available features turned off. Don't see why the battery use is so high because Shealth can gather all the stats with minimal battery usage - only thing extra here is the smart alarm. Not impressed with automated unhelpful response.

Having read months of reviews, after my own personal horrible experience with your 'products'. There is nothing to believe other than that you are running a complete scam. IMPLIED usability and functionality on a free app is one thing. When you took my money it was no longer 'implied' it was a 'WARRANTY ' of usability and functionality. UI - Garbage, Reliability/Accuracy - Questionable at best, Data sets on phone only were highly inaccurate, etc. Basics. Then try Fancy.

Greatly improved with the latest updates. Battery drain has halved so just putting my fit pro on its charger while I have my coffee and it's up to 100% again. The gear add-on doesn't keep running anymore after you've closed the sleep app. I would like a simpler format for the graphs on wake up, It could be far simpler to read.

The sleep app and everything i like but one problem and its a problem that is annoying, on the galaxy store, the companion app for the galaxy watch is showing alway in the "update app" area but the app show it doesn't need an update, is this a bug or something else plz help. Everything else is ok, it doesn't interrupt my daily use, just want to find out. Keep up the good work 👍👍

The sleep as android app is great, I've been using it for a while and have no issues. The wearables extension however has always been battery heavy (typically draining 30% a night) but with the last update it drains a full galaxy s3 frontier from full in about 3 hours not much use as im normally asleep for more than 3 hours a night.

I had this installed for 3 months. Abandoned it because of the battery drain then decided to try it now assuming that after 6 months and so many similar complaints that it must have been fixed. Nope, first night using it my gear S3 battery was gone in about 5 hours. I have previously emailed the developer who was not at all helpful. Considering the main app is so good it's sad to see that this is so bad and even worse that the developer simply doesn't care.

I'm not even sure how to rate this ap. It worked perfectly before! 5 stars! I loved the data it sent to my S-Health ap on my phone. It stopped working in the beginning of October and I can't seem to get it to send data the way it used to. I guess I'll remove it since its pointless now.

Loved it when it was working, but now it will not sync so I'm back to just using it as an alarm. The watch used to wake me so my wife could keep sleeping. Now she hears the alarm. I have reset removed and no change. I just basically started over, working great. Love the app now its working again

Constantly struggling every other night to get the app and gear s3 watch to communicate. All power saving app sleep features are disabled to ensure it runs fine. Sometimes rebooting both the watch and phone fixes it. Sometimes... Been like this for a year now.

I started to pay more attention to my sleep quality and habits as I've been listening to Jim Kwik's podcasts . This app alone is very informative when it comes to getting a good sleep guide and provides a lot of details once it has enough data of your sleeping patterns. I like it a lot.

I've bought this app a while ago and have been having issues lately with it consuming my entire watch battery over night. sad to say I've uninstalled it and will just use the built in sleep tracker. i hope this gets fixed eventually. update: reinstalled app after the latest version and the problem persists.
