SnoreClock App Reviewed: Does It Earn a Spot?
SnoreClock is worth a download if you want proof of your snoring and don’t mind a few rough edges. Few snore apps can point to a published accuracy check, and it passed one.
It won’t diagnose anything, though, and the price depends on your phone. These are the questions people ask, answered in order.
What Does SnoreClock Actually Do?
It records your night through the phone’s microphone and charts the sound. Likely snores show up as red bars, and you can tap one to listen.
It also tags coughs, whispers and talking so you can sort out who made which noise. For couples arguing about the culprit, that feature alone may justify the install.
How Much Does It Cost?
It depends on the phone in your pocket. The iPhone and iPad edition costs about $9.99 (October 2026), with no ads, and you buy it through the App Store.
Android users can install it free from Google Play and pay only if they want the Plus subscription. That upgrade strips the ads and brings SD card saving, alert tones and backup of your stats.
Prices change, so check the listing before you buy.
How Accurate Is It?
Surprisingly good for a phone app. A 2021 study compared the app’s snore counts with an ear, nose and throat specialist’s counts across 201 recordings from 11 patients.
The match was strong (a correlation of 0.907). The app flagged 78% of real snoring and ignored 97% of non-snoring, which means few false alarms and some missed snores that grew more common as snoring got heavier.
Don’t lean on that too hard. Eleven patients is a modest sample, and an earlier test of sleep apps showed apps struggle when the room is noisy.
What Do Users Complain About?
Mostly recording that ends too soon. In October 2025 one Google Play reviewer said it stopped inside an hour on some nights.
The app has 4.6 stars from roughly 8,350 Android reviews and 4.6 from 60 on iPhone, so most people are happy. Run a first night as a trial, and make sure the chart spans the whole night before you trust it.
Can It Tell Me If I Have Sleep Apnea?
No. It measures snoring, not breathing pauses, and the published check never tested it for apnea screening.
Gasping or waking up choking? Skip the app and see a doctor.
Where Does It Fit?
It’s a baseline tool. Record a few nights, try one remedy, then record again and compare.

The Bottom Line
SnoreClock earns its spot as an honest, affordable recorder. Read the charts as a trend and not a verdict.
If the numbers worry you, hand them to your doctor, and don’t expect a cure.
