★ Long-time subscriber lost because support simply doesn’t exist I was a long-time paying subscriber, and I finally cancelled. The app stopped working properly for me, leaving me unable to reliably use a service I was paying a premium subscription… v7.2 · 2026-10-03
★ Recent Update Broke Basic Functionality …no idea why they’re trying to make people with vestibular issues sick, but no solutions to the unwelcome animations from support either… At least the TS paid off so now i’ll be able to use my sleep track on repeat if i can only be tired again… isn’t this supposed to help… v7.0.5 · 2026-09-04
★ Unethical …subscription through the App Store there was no record of me signing up for a subscription. I removed my credit card from my Apple Account just in case, And I got billed anyway. There is no clear way to end the subscription before the free trial ends. I tried to request a refund v7.0.7 · 2026-09-09
