I’m thoroughly impressed with what the developer has managed to achieve with this gem of an app. The interface style appears to mimic that of professional medical equipment, which is a nice little touch, and there is loads of information to be gotten from the analytical and tracking tools.

Optimize Your Sleep

MotionX 24/7: Sleep Cycle Alarm, Snore, Apnea, Heart Rate Monitor, Weight Loss, Activity Tracker has been designed to provide professional-level sleep analysis so that you can work in tune with your natural sleep cycles and wake up feeling vibrant and refreshed.

This is done by monitoring the cycles so that you can view a detailed analysis of when you were sleeping lightly and deeply, and exactly for how long.

Equipped with this information, you can use the alarm clock to ensure you wake up at the best possible time in line with the identified cycles of your sleep.

Get Active and Stay Active

There is also the option of falling asleep to white noise or music from your iTunes Music Library, and you can set up the app so that the audio gradually fades out automatically once you’ve fallen asleep.

One very cool feature enables you to measure your pulse by using your device’s integrated camera and your fingertip, and you can see information pertaining to how your resting heart rate correlates with the quality of your sleep.

In addition to all of this, you can also keep track of how many calories you burn and how many steps you take in a given day, as well as receiving "Get Active" alerts to let you know when you've been idle for too long.

Final Words

Given that MotionX 24/7: Sleep Cycle Alarm, Snore, Apnea, Heart Rate Monitor, Weight Loss, Activity Tracker is only priced at $0.99 I would definitely recommend it to those of you who are in the market for this kind of thing because I’ve seen comparable iPhone and iPad apps in the Health & Fitness category offering fewer features at a higher price
