Apollo NeuroReviews of apolloneuro.com

After 30 days of use, overall well-being has improved, sleep has also slightly improved, and HRV (according to Oura Ring measurements) has slightly increased. Sleep duration has also extended a bit, although not every day. There are still fluctuations in sleep.

My doctor recommended Apollo Neuro to help me recover from a dysregulated nervous system that caused me to get no more than 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours of sleep each night for a few months. I’ve been using this device now for a little more than a week and already have more than doubled my amount of sleep per night.

overall i am glad i purchased an apollo neuro. in my first month, i did notice an improvement in my sleep. specifically, i don’t wake up in the middle of the night as much. i’ve also noticed an improvement in headaches, focus, and mood. my only complaints are that the sleep tracking is not very accurate and will often track me as sleeping when i clearly am not. i also think the app is a bit buggy. however, despite this i’ve seen enough benefit from the product that id say it is worth a shot if you can afford it.

I really want to give this 5 stars but here is the issue. The device itself feels like it came out of a gumball machine. It's just extremely cheap plastic. The band itself is absolute trash and keeps falling off. I've already almost lost my device not realizing it fell off my wrist. The price point at $350 for such cheap hardware is criminal. On top of it you need to pay $100 a year to access the more helpful features on the device. I do feel it has helped me in sleeping a little better but I've only used for 5 days so I can't really speak to that as of yet. If this device was priced at $100 then I would most likely be able to give it 5 stars. Def not worth the high cost imo.

Life changing!

I have been beyond frustrated with my Apollo device. It's a great idea, but the implementation is garbage. What you receive upon purchase is a small device that vibrates. Beyond a clip and a synthetic band, that's it. There's your $500. First of all, as soon as you buy it, it prompts you to purchase "Smartvibes" which promise to increase your sleep by ..an amount a day! That's only another $100. I resisted for a while, but the device actually did seem to be helping me sleep, so I figured "why not?" and purchased it. Everything went downhill from there. First off, the SmartVibes (or is it Smartvibes?) add-on suggested I delete my current schedule. This was a toughie, because it had taken me almost a week to (inexplicably) have to set up "sleep" scheduling from 10PM-6AM. I had to create event after event in the app and make sure that they didn't overlap. There is no option to just select an area of time and say "I sleep during this time." But once I purchased SmartVibes, it informed me that my events were preventing SV from operating properly, and that I should cancel my events and also wear it at least 3 hours during the day and 3 hours at night. Thus, it began. The charging port for the Apollo is on the inside of the device. Short of turning my leg or arm into a USB-A (that's right, the current version doesn't even support USB-C charging) port, I don't really know how to do that and the SmartVibes doesn't tell you. Nor does it really tell you what it's doing. The best thing that SmartVibes is doing, I think, is for the company to harvest data on the users, because it sure didn't seem to be doing anything for me. It's a black box that only tells you what you've done, sometimes...And I'm being literal on that. I have a Garmin smartwatch, several pairs of headphones (in and out of ear), and other USB/Bluetooth devices - all of which connect better, more efficiently, and more reliably than this device that resides either on my wrist or ankle at any given time. Routinely, I'd get "not able to connect" errors from my phone regarding the device. When I would get these errors, oftentimes the device would be on my wrist and I'd be holding it in my hand. Sleep data and other things were a nightmare to get collected. I emailed the company, and the consensus from them was basically "have you tried turning it off and back on again." To give you an idea of how expensive, yet dumb this device is, it doesn't even register that you've taken it off. That's right - it can be in the middle of a cycle, I unstrap it, and it continues vibrating and continuing the cycle. When the app won't register, I've found the best way to stop it from continuing is to just plug it into its USB-A cable. That stops it. Which really makes me dubious about the claims that the $100 SmartVibes subscription is doing anything, really, except maybe responding to a gyoscope in the device. It doesn't even have a pulse monitor like my Garmin Watch, or an Apple watch, or a fitbit, or a...you get the picture. Bottom line: If your super-expensive single-purpose device without any display or other function that's supposed to help me with my body can't tell that I've unstrapped you from my body, you have some huge design flaws. For $100, I'd accept this. For half of the price of a high-market phone, this is a terrible buy. I'd love my money back.

I like the Apollo and find it helpful. My concern is more of a quality one. There appears to be an issue with the charging of the device. The cord that is supplied does not seem to be of the best quality. I have had my device less than a week. I contacted support and was told to purchase another cord. If the device was cheap I wouldn't expect top quality but this device and the service is not. After other customers have voiced concerns about the same issue one would believe it would behoove someone in a decision making capacity to do something about it. One suggestion would be to change to a type C USB like most other devices. As a new company they need to be more receptive to their customers concerns. If there is an issue with the cable, offer to send a replacement. Don't tell someone who just spent money on your product to go by another cord after three days of ownership. People who take time to take surveys sometimes want to complain. I like the device and want to see the company succeed. But with the type of nonchalant attitude towards customers concerns. I may look for another alternative. The company reached out to me regarding more information. Not sure how I could be more detailed 🤔 I have been using the device albeit the charging issues have remained. The cord that was shipped with the unit appears to have been defective. I purchased another micro cord and it has worked better. Just a poor experience starting Out made me a bit concerned. The support is clunky and a bit confusing with the repeat email thread with generic responses. Could be a bit more personalized.

I purchased the Apollo neuro to help with my sleep and also a racing heart, it helped with neither, but the pulses did feel nice. I then lost the cord and after a while purchased a cord from them and when I went to charge it, nothing worked, the help person literally suggested to try charging it with a different charging cord, I have the email. Anyway nothing worked, they wouldn’t take the cord back and said the Apollo is only warranty is 1 year.
