Simple, but effective
Bham-Hill
I have no idea how it works, and sometimes I feel like I never really fall asleep....yet magically I awaken feeling rested and refreshed. Pros: simple to use, doesn't require much understanding. Cons: doesn't integrate with either sleep cycle or Health Kit UPDATE 5/11/2018 (applies to both Power Nap & Sleep Cycle): Great apps overall. One major improvement needed, though: independent sound control. I use binaural beats apps and occasionally even use Apple Music or Pandora when going to sleep or napping. Your apps don’t do sound in the background well and don’t seem to have in-app volume control. Instead, your apps seem to override the iOS volume settings. The only way this works well is in Sleep Cycle, when waking in the morning. Otherwise it interferes with the UX. I like the background noises when going to sleep, but they are not subtle enough to allow other sound (which is at least possible to play at the same time as your app, so thanks for that) to be heard at a comfortable level. For example, when trying to power nap just now, I needed to use my binaural beats to help me eliminate a migraine before going to work. I’m in a noisy downtown area and it’s Saturday night. The binaural beats are great but the background noise from your app would help masking/drowning out the urban noises to make the 20-minute nap the most effective. Unfortunately, I have to turn the binaural beats up to max volume to be heard and this requires headphones. Your ambient noises are not designed / calibrated for headphones and cannot be comfortably played at maximum volume using headphones. Until the volume control (or perhaps calibration) is corrected, users will not be able to use the sleep aid background noises to help going to sleep if they want to also combine with other audio from the same device...especially when using headphones.
Handy, but some shortcomings

I’m fairly new to Power Nap, but i’ve been a user of SleepCycle and LifeCycle for several months and love them! I wish Power Nap could sync to the other two apps like they do with each other, and was expecting the same microphone tech and data analysis that SleepCycle uses. But it did help me get some really good naps!
