This app is great except…
Youaredumbifyoudontlikeit
Bose’s Sleepbuds are the best. The app is also great. One suggestion though - when opening the app, after putting in the sleepbuds in the ears, the app starts as dark, then flashes bright white, and back to a dark screen again. As the whole process and intent is for sleep, a bright flash is certainly not optimal. The app has always been like this - from the beginning. Please fix!
improve sound library

It will be great if there are more nature sound options you choose from. The current nature sound seems very short and sound the same.
Apple update

Does not work with new apple update. Will no longer pair. Worked great before update
Poor app for a good product

Considering the SleepBuds cost a whopping $250, the app that supports them should be a lot better. Why can my iPad detect my AirPods and Jabras instantly, but this app takes MANY seconds to find the SleepBuds… and sometimes fails to find them entirely? Why are other audio apps controllable from the lock screen but not this one? Why do I have to unlock my iPad and navigate to the app to control the SleepBud volume with a slider rather than just use my volume rocker? This all seems like pretty basic stuff to me, that other apps manage fine. Other stuff: you can only listen to Bose sleep sounds on the SleepBuds. I don’t see why you can’t have a seamless experience of listening to whatever you want on the SleepBuds before sleep, then turning on Bose’s sounds. Talk about a nanny app! And I find way too many of the available sounds too busy and/or high-pitched. There’s only one or two I can stand to listen to. There might be good reason for other stuff that’s also inconvenient, like having to take time to load sounds ONTO your SleepBuds rather than simply stream it (I’m guessing so your sound is not dependent on your device’s battery life), but the whole interface is just needlessly frustrating and complex, which is not conducive to a relaxed pre-sleep state. The SleepBuds themselves are great, but hampered by this crappy app.
Works well, sound choices week

The sleep buds works well with the new generation. On the other hand, the sound selection is week. Quite a few the sounds choices are basically the same. There needs to be a wider variety a good quality sounds selections. I use the sleep buds for the white noise to cover up my tinnitus ringing in my ears. They greatly improve my sleep cycle. But I only find two choices that work. The fire and the waves. All other choices sound very similar. I would suggest adding crickets, cat purring, low town continuous dong. Other suggestion is sounds that are used for meditation. Thank you for your consideration.
Annoying in Every Way

First, if you’re a side sleeper like me, this bud’s NOT for you. Laying on the ear bud, the sound is cut off, the rubber rubs against the pillow, making noise, and your ear will be so sore from laying on it, you can hardly touch it in the morning. Second, for a Company that prides itself in sound quality, the sound selections are very poor audio quality replete with annoying loops, clicks, squeaks and who knows what else. Third, the ear buds rely on the app to get started, but once started they have a life of their own. There’s no way to turn down the volume or change sounds from your phone because they lose contact with the phone overnight. I bought two sets for me and my wife...big, expensive mistake.
A little improvement

Well I’m really enjoying the sleep buds I’m wondering why you can’t transition from one cell to another. If one of the goal is to move you into sleep it would seem being able to transition from one sound into another would be beneficial. Hope this app might make that possible at some point.
Love these!

My husband bought these because they were recommended by audiologist due to my tinnitus. Only downfall is the app is not compatible with Apple Watch. It would be easier & quick access instead of fumbling for my phone when I’m half asleep.
Need to be compatible with meditation and music apps

If I could link my headspace account for meditation automatically followed by the Swell sound masking for the rest of the night this would’ve be perfect. Relax me enough for sleep and then keep me asleep for the night. Could also use sounds specifically designed to help distract from the tinnitus. As it is, I do find these a necessity for being able to sleep through the night not only for the white noise masking sounds but also for when my tinnitus is really acting up. The Swell ocean wave sounds do help distract me from it some. Biggest complaint is a few times a month when I open the case and see the charged and ready light off for one or both earbuds and realize I didn’t seat them quite right. That improved seating with the audible snap that’s supposed to let you know it connected, needs more improvement. Overall mostly satisfied, but could use a few improvements.
