Quit Snoring app for iPhone and iPad
Excellent News from the NIH: An independent study that tested and compared 126 snoring apps in the App Store reports "Quit Snoring" as the best!
Published in Sep 2015: "...The Quit Snoring app received the highest overall rating. When this apps recordings were compared with in-laboratory polysomnography data, app snoring sensitivities ranged from 64 to 96 per cent, and snoring positive predictive values ranged from 93 to 96 per cent. A chronic snorer used the app nightly for one month and tracked medical interventions. Snoring decreased from 200 to 10 snores per hour, and bed partner snoring complaint scores decreased from 9 to 2 (on a 0-10 scale)."

Do you snore? Quit Snoring (previously "Snoring U") will improve your and your spouse sleep. Up to date Quit Snoring helps over 100,000 people to improve and monitor their breathing while sleeping.
"Thank you for a wonderful app. I am finding it very helpful in monitoring improvements in using a dental appliance."
"I have looked for ways to stop snoring and couldnt find anything as useful and practical as Quit Snoring…Its simple to setup and the results are beyond my expectations".
"Quit Snoring is the most advanced snoring app in iTunes that works…and has the best support ever…Finally a Snoring app that does what it says it will do."
Quit Snoring uses an essential new approach to overcome snoring episodes. While youre sleeping, Quit Snoring remains alert, even when your device goes into sleep mode. It monitors your sleep session, listen carefully and when you snore it will produce gentle nudge by that most snorers cease snoring.
A nudge is a vibration (on iPhone) or a sound that you selected in advance, or both. You can even record your own sounds to use as nudges. On the settings screen you can also adjust the volume of the sound and the maximum number of times Quit Snoring will nudge you with each snoring event.
When you awake in the morning, the Summary screen shows you how long you slept, how often you snored during the night, how loud your snoring was, and how many nudges you received. If you tap the "See Graph" button youll see all of this and more, on an easy to read, zoom-able graph and youll be able to choose the exact places you want to listen to.
If youre under the care of a physician for a sleep disorder, you can email the doctor all of your stats without leaving the app. Your doctor can see at a glance just how often you snore, and whether the nudges are helpful, as well as monitoring the progress over time of any other anti-snoring and/or anti apneic treatment.
Features of Quit Snoring include:
* Intelligent graph allow quick zooming, panning and listening to the sleep session
* Records and plays back the entire sleep session
* Sophisticated algorithm to "nudge" a snorer
* Nudges to help you stop snoring
* Email from app
* Continues to work when device is in sleep mode
* Delayed start of monitoring
* History feature lets you review several sleep sessions
* Ability to add user notes to the sleep session
* Ability to add drop pins into the graph, including a note
In moderate cases Quit Snoring can help with individual occurrences of snoring. More important are the diagnostic benefits of Quit Snoring. The history feature keeps track of statistics for all previous sleep sessions.
If you use Quit Snoring, your spouse will thank you! If youre married or you share a bed, Quit Snoring can nudge you and get you to roll over and stop snoring before you wake your significant other.
Download Quit Snoring now because iPhone monitoring may improve your sleep, and the sleep of everyone around you.

Pros and cons of Quit Snoring app for iPhone and iPad
Quit Snoring app good for
Most advanced sw against snoring I have testet so far. Works even for light snorers because its very sensitive and has lots of adjustments for even better results. Allows history analyzing and creation of reference values from recorded values. Small caveates still exist which are not significant to me.
Serious apneas can only be treated with either a CPAP machine or a teeth appliance such as Somnomed. The latter is far more comfortable.
The crucial point with teeth appliances (MAS Mandibular Advancement Splints) is the trimming, done with screws. This can be done in a sleeping lab, but a snoring app might be sufficient.
Snoring U comes with a sophisticated algorithm to differentiate between snoring and other noise. This is the core of these programs, and this is where Snoring U is leading the market.
Highly recommended.
This app works fine. There are several sensitive adjustments there are optional. The default setting works fine too.
I had to lower the volume of the voice reminder as it woke my wife too. But I love the graphing and tracking/ recording of the entire night! I can see where I drop into a deeper sleep and start snoring.
With the addition of a product called SLEEP APNEA AND SNORE EZE that I take every night, I have really cut down or possibly ELIMINATED my snoring. Even when Ive had a few beers! That never happened before.
I sleep propped up a little. Take snore-EZE and monitor my sleep patterns for quantity of nudges and threshold triggers. Its the first thing in the morning that I look at.
Why? My wife has Fibromyalgia and cant afford to be woken continuously throughout the night.
We both have much more restful sleeps. Together!
Great APP. Never thought it would work....but it does. Thanks!

I recommend this app highly. Has helped me a great deal and expect even further improvements from using this app
Apparantly, I start snoring as soon as I become unconcious. This app works for me. I can leave the phone on the end table, while I sleep, or on the bed and it picks up the snore even if Im on my side facing away. Ive been using vibrate mode for the nudges and it wakes me no problem. Unfortunately, it also wakes my wife, so sleep position training will have to continue while sleeping solo. The history graph and audio recording prove what has happened. Also, adequate tweakable settings allow fine tuning. I am very glad to have discovered this app.
I was quite skeptical about the effectiveness of this application before downloading it, but I found it as a real professional and precise application which learns your sleep behavior with statistical reports and it wakes you a bit every time snort reach to an a high level. Highly recommended. This App may change your slepping quality of yours and your partners to bed. Definitely worth a dollar !
Some bad moments
I cant get this to work, even if I actively snore as loud as I can into the iPhone. I wish I could figure out how to get a refund. The worst app Ive purchased so far. All it does is severely drain my battery through the night.
Update: Doesnt work all night. Emailed developer to ask when an update would fix the problem and was told it isnt a priority.
Wish I could get a refund.
Update: after a month still waiting on an update so this will work through the night. The developers answered quick, but not responding quickly.
Dropping my rating accordingly.
Overall this is a good app. My one problem is that with my iPhone6 it maxes out on nudges at 103, despite having it set at unlimited. The developers have been very responsive, otherwise Id have given this review 3 stars. But, still waiting after 3 weeks for an update. If that fixes things Id give it a 5star rating.
By the title of the app and the screen shots, you might think this thing monitors your sleep... wrong! In reality, the best it does is to play a sound whenever it thinks you are snoring. This is completely useless if you are married or otherwise share your bed. Do you really want to wake up your partner whenever this app thinks one of you is snoring? Whats worse, this app doesnt log any activity. So even if you turned on the mute and hoped to analyze your sleep, youd be out of luck. No monitoring in this app.
Even though the description says it plays back sound clips, they are only referring to the built in sound clips that wake you up, not what you may have hoped for.
Very little of the stated functionality is actually working. I tried this last night and went to see my results and low and behold, there were no results. No emailing results to my doctor. The only function this app does perform as stated is that it will play a sound when you snore. I want my $4.99 back. Buyer beware!
The app is good. But, incomplete. It does not record the sound but it graphs every tiny sound. Even when you turn around or the A/c switching on.. Or your spouse making noise or snoring.. End if the day (well beginning of the day), you dont know whats yours and whats not.
Please come with an option to hear the sound from the graph where ever needed. With that I guess yours would be the best app in this line.
Awake again because my husband is snoring away. I have it repeat at the lowest sensitivity I can and it has not nuged him at all, yet it was enough to wake me no problem. Get it to work and I will update the stars but I guess the lack of sleep is making me pretty grumpy. Especially since this ap was so expensive! 5.99? what ever.
