Another buggy Philips app
PhillyDude01
Edit: I finally found a workaround on my own after contacting Philips as requested below in the developer’s response and being ignored. I keep being told the issue was caused by me using multiple phones but it started with a fresh install on the very first phone. It also kept occurring after several resets of the sleep light and a fresh install of the app. While the light is attempting to connect there is a small hyperlink that says “wrong password” near the bottom. Clicking it somehow stops the cycle and allows the light to connect. Obviously a glitch but just thankful I finally figured it out. The light was perilously close to being tossed in the trash before I found this workaround. I use this app and also use Philips DreamMapper and both apps have been hugely frustrating from the start. DreamMapper can never connect to the backend server and I constantly lose access to my data. This app keeps insisting my phone and wake up light are connected to different networks after I add the wifi info to the wake up light (spoiler alert, they’re not). The only resolution is to completely reset the light and try again. I’ve done that at least a dozen times and tried different phones, different mobile OS’s, tablets, three different routers and I STILL get the same “different network” error. It’s so bad, I’m ready to begin avoiding any Philips products that depend on a companion app.
Boost your sleep quality. It works for me.

Informative and easy step by step directions. I use it daily. This device will not help you fall asleep but rather provide sleep data and when your body relaxes into deep sleep, the device gently emits tones to help the body sustain that deep sleep.
Connection issues; constant bugs

Often have difficulty connecting to the alarm clock even when my phone is clearly connected to WiFi. Today, my alarm settings keep defaulting to no light, bird chirps (certain not to wake me up), with no ability to have changes saved.
Last update broke alarms

This thing forces you to have two alarms which is fine, I have one for when I wake up and one for when I’m going to be late, and I use different colors of light and different sounds to know which is which in case I’ve overslept. But ever since the last update of the app they both have the sound from one and the light from the other, and when I tried to fix it, I get no light and the same random sound on both. A response to a previous review says it’s connectivity issues, although the fixes suggest they actually are saying it’s user error despite the user likely having changed nothing between the updates. I tried their suggestions and guess what... still broken. I just *happened* to develop connectivity issues when I downloaded the latest version of the app? I mean maybe, if the issues are related to a bug in the code, but thanks for not really looking into it, Phillips. 0 stars for service. But 5 for the device. Fix the bug.
Alarm Settings Not Saving

I was having a wonderful time with this app and my beautiful alarm clock. However, all of a sudden the settings I choose for my alarm do not save. They default to ‘island red’ sun theme and ‘summer birds’ sound. I keep changing them to other things, I press save, and then they go back to the defaults I said before. This needs to be fixed!!

Like other users I am having issues with the alarms. I want to have different sounds and sunrises for my weekday vs weekend alarms but both are defaulted to the one most recently saved. Also, why do I have to have 2 alarms?
Needs some design enhancements

Everything about this app is great, except for the “Tips” section. Here are the issues: - You get a new sleep “Tip” notification every day. It’s a big red notification bubble. - You can’t just go to the “Tips” section to clear the notification. You have to click “Tips” then on the specific new tip itself, and open it! Now I’m all for better sleep tips but I don’t want the notification about it. There is also no organization to the Tips you receive. They should be able to be sorted or filtered into a library of sleep tips that I can access when I want to, instead of receiving a new one daily with the notification bubble. It would be fine if you could turn sleep tips notifications OFF, but you can’t. Aside from that, sometimes my Somneo needs to be reset if I lose power, it doesn’t reconnect to WiFi once it’s back on/ the app says it can’t connect. That’s pretty annoying during storm season. Not sure that’s an app issue, but it’s still an annoyance. A few design updates and I’d give this app a higher rating.
Disappointing waste of money

I was on the fence about shelling out $200 for a high end wake up light when there are far cheaper options, but it looks really cool so I bought it. The initial setup was a snap and everything was up and running. Within a few hours it lost its connection to WiFi. I ran through all the troubleshooting steps to no avail. I finally gave up and went to bed. I started the whole process the next day. Once again ran through troubleshooting, no luck. Checked the website no real advice there I have reset the device more times than I can remember, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I have powered my phone off and on and eventually got this to connect, only for it to lose its connection. Once again repeating the same steps and it won’t connect. Now I see it’s a known issue. Don’t even bother wasting your money on this, get a less expensive wake up light and a sleep tracker app and you will have most of the same functionality for a tenth of the price.
Expensive, app doesn’t work

Not sure how this is valued at $200. I honestly love the actual alarm but if anything changes with my phone the app stops connecting to the light. I cant even get Phillips to send me a password reset code. I wish the phone didn’t have to connect to the light to set the alarms. It shouldn’t be this difficult to connect to the alarm
