Hypocritical & EXPENSIVE. Pay Sleepio to sell YOUR data?!

PREFACE: Consult a physician instead - you’ll save money and actually get professional help !! To use this app youre required to spend $346 - $520 (per year) depending how you pay. (The very least 9.99 per month x 52 wks/yr = $520)

I learned about Sleepio through my Jawbone UP band promoting it. Initially (even with in app purchases) I thought Sleepio would be a good inclusion - working in conjunction with my UP’s data until I found out just how much the in app purchases were! I’m just peeved, now! And I don’t even know if it works with UP. I’ve seen other comments saying it doesn’t.

Yes, set up takes quite some time, but understandably dealing with sleep issues and assessing them, but the developer’s own “cover their ass” disclaimer mentioned during set up is completely hypocritical in comparison with their pricing. If using this - you’ll pay same comparable price as seeing a doctor, which they say - they are not.

In short, Big Health, LTD says that Sleepio is only a tool… and if you think you have any sleep /health issues to consult a doctor. Then WHY should anyone pay the developer the price tag of physician fees??

You can BANK that they’re also making money off your sleep data as well by selling it to insurance companies, employers to analyze current /future employees. Go to their website and see the partnerships for yourself. Use this app - and you’ll be paying to have your data collected - NOTHING more!

Big Health, LTD., How do you justify price and quantify basic and menial data analysis the same as a physician’s diagnosis? (at least by pricing you do) Heck… your app doesn’t even ‘really’ collect the data! I have to put it in manually, or supposed (if it works) my UP band does that, too! Charge your partners who use the data. But you should NOT be charging people to provide you that data!

You can bet I’ll be posting feedback for Jawbone after this, too, for their promotion of this app. For the price - Sleepio does a disservice to Jawbone customers /users, AND to it’s own users.
