Oura App Reviews

GAME-CHANGING technology!! 💥🦾. Oura creates a user-interface that is intuitive, insightful, & inspiring providing the user with a wide-range of data (i.e. heart rate, breathing rate, sleep temperature, sleep cycles, & more). Not only does is the Oura app provide daily insights, but it shows you these parameters over many days/weeks/months allowing you to TRULY understand your body in its slow, natural timeframe. By equipping the ring w/ many sensors, the Oura software team has HUGE potential to use AI in order to fully understand your daily habits in ways that you may not. As of 2020, Oura has yet to release any real-time data visualizations, but through further software development, I believe Oura will seamlessly incorporate new ways to process & analyze the large datasets being recorded by the Oura ring. For those who THRIVE on self-improvement & find STRENGTH through understanding, the stunning Oura ring provides you with the crystal clear picture of your vitals & shows you the HUGE importance of seeking out that perfect night’s sleep.

Waste of money. So on top of the $300 ring you get to pay a $6 monthly fee…for a ring that is entirely inaccurate. I wear my smartwatch and ring to bed; the smartwatch has consistently been more accurate with my sleep. The main reason I ordered this ring was to see my “readiness score” as I am someone who regularly struggles with low energy and would like to know what days to take it easy. Every day my readiness score is more or less the same and it hasn’t detected my energy crashes. I’ve worn this ring almost daily for nearly 2 months now. Still paying the subscription fee in hopes to get some value out of this app…because if I don’t that means I wasted $300 on the ring. Lol, if I could go back, I would have spared the trouble and never would have purchased it. I don’t understand the good reviews. I have seen some people want this ring because it will track their body temperature for the Natural Cycles app, my thoughts on that are 1. Based on my current experience with this ring and inaccuracy, I really would not trust it with something as important as birth control and 2. Natural Cycles is another subscription fee, so that’s another monthly commitment your bank account will be making. Once again I’ve learned the lesson that if something sounds too good to be true, it likely is. Best just save your money and stick to a smartwatch.

Skeptic turned true believer. I was highly skeptical when a friend of mine who was also treating me for issues related to stress recommended this ring to me. I broke down and bought the ring and it really changed me. I am a data scientist by trade and that’s why I was a skeptic at first. I wasn’t totally sure if the app can really come up with intelligent feedback. But it does. I changed my sleep pattern and really try hard to take breaks and move more. I co-own a consultancy/agency and my days are always crazy between work and family. I felt like I never had time for myself, or I never had enough justification to give myself time for self care. This app did just that. It tells me exactly what I need - go to sleep early, push yourself harder, take it easy, don’t eat too close to sleep time, etc. I love fitness and I love how the app is designed for overall fitness, not just steps, weight and calories. The sync works like a charm. Battery holds well. App is very intuitive.

Issue with the Sleep Monitoring.... Occasionally I’ll wake up around 3 am for various reasons and it will take me some time to get back to sleep. It could take 30 minutes, it could take 2 hours, but according to Oura if I don’t fall right back to sleep then I’m up for the rest of the day and I have only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep for the night. I am supposed to be able to manually edit my sleep hours but I guess because it shows activity for too long of a period I am unable to do this. So rather than counting those hours of sleep that follow it just looks like long spaces of inactivity. I’ll wake up and have dreamt in that period of sleep, so I’m not sure how it isn’t registering as even light sleep like the rest of the night does. Regardless, it’s not completely accurate if I actually get 6 or 7 hours of sleep and feel more rested than the ring and app show. It affects all of my data, trends and patterns, etc. which is the general point of the ring; sleep being one of the more important for me. I was hoping the most recent firmware update would help address this but it did not. I’m happy to update my review if Oura is able to find a way address this issue. I’ve had Fitbits and Misfits that didn’t have issues recognizing when I was asleep and when I was awake so it’s just a matter of some tweaking.

Battery Life - UPDATE. UPDATE - World Class Response - Oura responded with full replacement within 48 hours. A great product which I depend upon and a company that went above and beyond. The world needs more companies like Oura! BATTERY PROBLEM!!! I am a fan and the ring has changed and improved my life, sleep specifically. I have used the ring for two years. It has worked perfectly until the most recently. I have contacted Oura about the loss of battery life which occurred suddenly - prior to the 1/24 firmware update the battery lasted several days at a time, since the update it dies in under 6 or 7 hours. Won’t hold data overnight. I contacted Oura and wrote that the ring is two years old and battery life crashed after firmware update - they wrote back that the ring has a battery issue and a warranty team member will contact me, presumably to tell me what I told them - I purchased the ring two years ago and so sorry! Stay tuned,,, well I am astonished that my ring is being replaced! Kudos Oura!

don’t buy this ring. I bought the previous generation ring and was fairly satisfied with the product even with a customer service issue when I had to exchange the first one - despite this I decided to buy the current generation because I had an opportunity to get this ring without having to get signed up for the subscription service (as a current ring owner) that Oura out of nowhere forced on customers (I would definitely not pay a subscription) since I was already a customer - I again had to exchange the first ring in the new generation due to it malfunction - three times in the last two weeks this new ring when I have gone to look at my sleep score shows nothing and I had do a soft reboot get it working again for the next night - there are also constant “firmware updates” so who knows if this is the reason for that…I had no score today and had to do an update and looking back this seemed to have happened around the same time as the problem with getting a score - customer service is an endless loop of having answer this and do that and still no change - very disappointed in a pretty big purchase that doesn’t perform consistently

App or device problems?. I’ve had my ring for about 6 weeks. I like it, don’t love it, have some major gripes. The first major gripe is that I am only getting a successful heart rate recording during my workouts 30% of the time 6:19 workouts where I clicked the “record hr workout” button and recorded a workout to be exact. The only tip I get from the app is to make sure the ring is snugly fit on my finger. I have indents on my finger, how much more snugly should it fit? This brings me to my second major gripe - I don’t appreciate that the app is actively using my location services / tracking my movements at all times. This is only necessary when I’m recording an actual workout. I end up force quitting the app when I’m not using it. The data I get from the app is interesting, it’s nice to see the trends. I like that it integrates with apple health app. I don’t know if I will continue to keep the subscription if I can’t get a better record of workout HR though.

Not For Overnight or Shift Workers. Unfortunately, if you want a wearable for Sleep Tracking, and you work Overnights or Split Shifts in the evenings, this is not the device for you. It works well for everything else, but cannot accurately measure your sleep time, if you are in bed during daylight hours. When it uploads your data, it will report you had Zero sleep time (hours & minutes) for that “Day,” or skew the results by adding in some of the hours of your previous “Night” and report you had 10, 12 or 14 hours of “Optimal Sleep.” My other devices, - I have two of the major brands of watches - accurately report my sleep period during my day in hours and minutes, without skewing the data. For example, my OURA Ring reports 9 Hours 51 Minutes of Sleep today, and Samsung reports 6 Hours and 11 Minutes, which is correct. Hopefully, some day (or night !) in the future, they’ll figure out how to make the ring work for someone like me. I will continue to purchase every upgrade, in anticipation of that day.

This app’s readiness score is not looking good. After a week with the Ōura, I'm unfortunately relegating it to the "fun trinket" bin. The app is buggy as heck. On my second day, both entries in the date picker were labeled "Today." Different screens tell me I went to bed at different times for the same night. The silliest bug though is a line chart showing my "readiness" score. The chart shows my most recent score as below average, but the text congratulates me on being above average. If this company can't even figure out which way their inequalities are pointing, why would I trust them with a more complex task like analyzing my sleep? I tried writing support, but they gave a canned "try reinstalling" reply. It might work, but since the install is only a week old, it's pretty bad if it does. My guess, though, is they're just trying to put up a hurdle before spending any time investigating, a hallmark of lower-tier software companies. Wish this thing were better, it sure seems like a promising idea!

Huge fan. I am a huge fan of the Oura ring. I purchased one three years ago during an acute time of healing and have used it as a major part of my recovery. It’s super encouraging to be able to collect metrics over the years and see trends of improvement. I love that the ring talks to you specifically and every month and year they give you a review. I love the added improvements of tracking your menstral cycle, temperature, and blood oxygen. I love that you can turn it off Bluetooth to reduce EMF and only turn it on to update and get your readings. I find I am more conscious of my sleep. The feedback they give is really encouraging, never fearful. I lost my ring once and they were super helpful with that and then when I bought the new generation and the update glitched the ring so it couldn’t charge, they took accountability and sent me a new one no questions asked. A really great company, invested in the customer and it is evident. Think Fitbit but even more data and a ring. Oh- and I forgot to add, I like their meditations and breathwork that they offer.

I love my ring and have a few wishes……. I love my Oura ring and give it 5 stars so far (I am 2-3 months in.) my only wish is that there were a section for women regarding menopause. It felt a bit traumatic as a women just heading into the big M, to not be able to relate to the period phases and to turn off all of the womanly tracking. I wish there was a menopause section for learning and tracking symptoms. Somehow turning the features off made me really sad and I felt separate. (I know that is a me thing!) I also wish there were half sizes. I’m stuck in the middle of two sizes. I would love a little more guidance on how to improve my sleep. It’s not good! I’m actually getting a sleep study in a few weeks after seeing my sleep scores. Or maybe it’s the night sweats. 🙃 They really affect sleep, yall! Thank you, Oura. Keep making it better and better!

Membership vs Not. When I first got my Oura Ring I was beyond ecstatic about it. I loved the way it looked and more importantly started becoming obsessed with the data. Friends would ask me do you like your Oura ring and my response was yes, but ask me in a month, I want to see what the value is without the membership. After pausing my subscription to see what the difference is, I’m confidently able to say to people, if you feel confident you want to spend money on the subscription, then this is for you otherwise don’t spend your money here. I’m surprised that Oura thinks the best model is only the 3 basic scores without a subscription. In principle, the subscription is less than $100 / yr but we are now in an age where companies believe that we have to scrape every last dollar from the consumer. I’d love to be an ambassador for Oura but given you only get the 3 basic scores without a subscription, I simply can’t. It’s too bare bones and makes you feel as if the organization is just money hungry.

Bricked Hardware without Subscription. I recently invested a hefty $300 in an Oura Ring, only to discover that it’s essentially useless without an additional subscription. The marketing promises a wealth of insightful data to improve your health and well-being, but what they don’t tell you is that this data is locked behind a paywall. Without the subscription, you’re left with a glorified piece of jewelry that offers minimal functionality. The initial cost of the ring should be enough to provide full access to all features, but Oura has chosen to squeeze more money out of their customers. This feels like a blatant cash grab and an insult to those who have already invested a significant amount in their product. For those considering a wearable to track health and fitness, I strongly recommend looking at alternatives like the Apple Watch. Not only does it provide comprehensive health data right out of the box, but it also offers a plethora of additional features that the Oura Ring simply can’t match. Save your money and avoid the frustration—go with a device that truly delivers value.

Great product!. I’ve had the Oura ring since 2019 and had the 1st Gen ring. I got the new ring and I am happy with all of the upgrades they have made. Oura is constantly making upgrades and adding new features. The only upgrade that I don’t like is they changed the sleep and I find it’s not as accurate. Sometimes it indicates that I was awake for 2 hours during the night and I slept all night. Maybe it’s because I am an active sleeper and talk in my sleep! Or that it cannot differentiate between N1 and N2 sleep. Oura’s customer service is excellent and every time I’ve reached out I get a response immediately and a resolution. The ring is pretty accurate otherwise and it tells me to slow down when I am under the weather. I use the readiness to help determine when to workout and to slow down and that has helped in preventing me to get sick! It was interesting to see when I got the Covid vaccine, the ring knew something was off! I would give it 5 stars if the sleep data was more accurate. Finally, sometimes it picks up my naps and sometimes it doesn’t! Not sure why!

Data is too manipulated. There’s a lot I like- can wear the ring in the shower and pool with no fuss. It’s more comfortable to sleep in than the Fitbit. Long battery life. I love that it does oxygen saturation and basal temp. As someone with wonky cycles and sleep I’ve always wanted to track my temp, but id forget and get up before doing it or my wonky sleep would affect the data. But I hate that it doesn’t tell me the actual temp. It also has a major flaw in that you can’t tell it that you have a fever and to disregard those days temps. Even if you tag fever/cold it still gets confused and thinks that you’ve ovulated. It thinks my period should start today when I know from other symptoms it’s 10-14 days away still. It’s better at detecting naps than the Fitbit, but it still will miss them and I want a way to tell the app I slept. Also I want to know just a basic daily resting heart rate like my Fitbit. I always know from that simple data when I’ve ovulated and when the cycle is ending. Also as someone who has Fibromyalgia it needs a recalibration on readiness. Or a way to give feed back on not feeling well because I’m sorry but 5hr sleep should not regularly correlate with 70+% readiness. Even for a healthy person. I love that it’s a ring. I love that it does temp and heart rate and oxygen. I want simpler straight forward raw data, that I can interpret myself. Thanks.

“Spend $500 on our ring with these features then you can pay us to use them! Isn’t that fun?”. I got this ring to pair with Natural Cycles. Prior to this week it would take literally forever for my temperature to sync with the app (sometimes an hour!). Interestingly enough as soon as they had competition in the new Apple Watch they fixed the issue people have been complaining about for months. Crazy how that works 🤪. Overall the app insights are super interesting, I have an infant that obviously wakes during the night and this helps me to keep up with her wakings as well as mine. It’s also cool to see the heart rate and stress tracking. The workout tracking is only mildly accurate I would say but that’s not what I bought the ring for. I’m the most disappointed in the new subscription thing they’ve got going on. “Spend $500 on our ring with all these features, and then you can pay us even more money to use them! Isn’t that fun???” It makes me question why in the world I spent the extra money on the newest ring when the old one has the same features as you get without the subscription for less cost. It’s just a shame to see the greed in these companies. I don’t know if I would recommend it to other people moving forward. At the least the Apple Watch has other features, and you don’t have to pay monthly to use them!

Think twice. This is a new review after finally getting some straight answers after 8 months of inquisition.I’ve had the Gen 2 which had to be replaced due to faulty battery and then paid almost full price (only about $75 discount) to upgrade to Gen 3. That was quite costly to NOT get all the allegedly upgrades of the Gen3. The “lifetime membership “ is the ability to use the same app I’ve always had but not have to pay a monthly subscription to use it now. But you need the app to use the ring. So not only do you pay hundreds of dollars for the product but unless you pay for monthly subscription you WON’t get the benefits of the gen3 since you won’t have access to the parts of the app to read the data. By the way live heart rate is only available on 4 select activities you have to choose before starting them . Which you use select in the app before the activity or you won’t get a reading. The ring isn’t intuitive enough to record you’ve done something. It is truly only good at reading 😴 🛌. But there is still no pulse ox SpO2 and it’s the only reason I upgraded from the Gen2. So for now I just use my Garmin watch. For everyday activity it’s NOT going to give you the data you need- not yet- not by far. Get an Apple, FitBit, or Garmin for that. If you just want to monitor sleep then this is for you.

Worth every penny. I often won’t buy something linked to an app because a lot of times, the product can be great but the app is garbage. But not this one! The ring is amazing and the app is completely functional and I’ve never had a glitch in the couple of years I’ve had my ring. Their support is great, they really work with you to ensure you’re happy with their product. And the data I’ve gotten from my ring is life changing. I’ve changed my eating, sleeping and drinking habits to get better deep sleep and I can tell the difference that’s reflected in the sleep stats. It gives me tips for improvement and it’s all based on my own data. I also know when my period is coming - I hope they release more features for that. Overall, it’s an excellent product and I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to bio hack their body and live a better life!

fitbit vs oura. After wearing a fitbit fir years, i purchased an Oura ring. i like to compare the two results in the morning. They sometimes have similar results but mostly different. Oura alway records more deep sleep ,rem sleep and sleep in general. i wish i knew the accuracy of either. The oura does make me feel better about my sleep because it records more. i think the power of suggestion works so well that it makes me feel like ive had much better sleep. i dont understand the heart rate results or some of the other things it records but im sure that will come. I wear the Oura ring on my thumb, first finger or middle finger. Makes me feel like I’m a smurf that the same ring fits all 3 fingers but it’s nice to be able to move it around. i usually don’t notice it’s there but it gets uncomfortable sometimes so i change fingers. Like my fingers needs a rest changing fingers resolves that. . They suggest to sleep with the sizer over night. When i sized the ring, the sizer i chose for the first night would barely come off in the morning. i think i went up 2 sizes to size 11. i am over weight and don't wear rings normally. The fitbit started recording oxygen levels but wont let you see it unless you pay. that is greedy to me left a bad taste for fitbit. they could show me something but don’t. It makes the fitbit ‘out’ for me. i chose Oura because of that. I wish i knew how accurate it is overall.

New version is awful. It is so bad I am wiring my first review on an app - ever. Oura removed the ease of navigating the app and the visual overviews so now you have to hunt for info. It isn’t easy to find previous days’ data or trends anymore and the app is cluttered but not with useful info - just topic headers. It almost feels like they purposefully made it hard and time-consuming to increase user engagement time with being active in the app. I can’t think of a single other reason to make it so unfriendly for users. It is horrible. I won’t be replacing my Oura ring when it finally dies and I am canceling my subscription since the data I pay to view requires hunting scrolling through 12 different topics now, and trends are basically hidden. The basic app is about the same as what you pay for now unless you have extra hours on your day for hunt and peck, taking screenshots, and then doing a comparison of those screenshots in your Photos app. Oura - you failed. Edited to add that MEN must have made the decisions on this horrible UX, because navigating on the app to find a calendar display of your cycle takes a bit of work. Calendar should be the default view and I should be able to see the other days logged so far when logging a period day. Infuriating.

Please change the Heart Health art. Love everything about my third gen Oura ring. I’ve had it for almost 2 years and wear it every day. Unlike my Apple Watch I feel like this is light and I often forget I’m wearing it. I also feel more comfortable swimming and sweating in it, so A+ on the hardware! On the software side I think it’s mostly good though I wish I could actually see my spo2 data in a line graph over time. There’s a lot of data I imagine you’re collecting and I simply get no benefit because I can’t see it, all I see is a an interpretation of the data such as “optimal” but not the data itself. Lastly please please please change the Heart Health art in the app, it’s creepy! I feel anxious every time I open the app and see this weirdmy wispy humanoid in a falling pose 1’s I find myself scrolling past that section as quickly as possible to avoid that. I’m certain I’m in the minority in my strong dislike but still I’m also certain there are countless other images you could have in that section that wouldn’t evoke such a strong reaction in people like me that apparently have a fear response to wispy falling people.

Great Product, Worst Customer Service Ever. It goes without saying this is an awesome product. Read the reviews below. As for customer service, there basically isn’t any. There is no phone number to call and my emails have been answered on average 10 days after being sent. The email responses reveal that the sender never looked at my email or considered my situation and just sent out a cut and pasted form letter response. All I am trying to do is exchange my 2nd Generation ring for a 3rd generation ring. I never received any email instructions with QR codes telling me how to do this. Two emails (each 10 days apart for a total of 20 days) were sent to me saying I must have received the instruction. I didn’t. I am not an idiot. I did place an order in the meantime and got an order #. I finally, after 1 month, got an email with instructions on how to return my 2nd generation ring. I had to start by entering in my order #. The order number was not accepted saying this was an unrecognized order #. I screenshot my order # and the page stating it’s an unrecognized # and emailed this to customer service and now, 2 weeks later, still no response. In my 62 years I honestly can say I have never dealt with a company with such horrible customer service. And I am sorry, but “Covid” and “unprecedented backlog of our products” is absolutely no excuse.

Truly AMAZING Product!. This ring has been an absolute game-changer for me; I've had issues sleeping my whole life, and have taken every sleeping pill on the planet, including all the heavy/narcotic ones, and I was sick of not being able to rest for days if I forgot/lost them, couldn't fill the Rx, etc. I also recently started getting back into running for the first time since high school (I'm in my mid-30s). Oura's ability to tell EXACTLY how I'm sleeping (light/deep/REM/awake), and give insights as to how my activity might be helping or hurting my ability to be well-rested the next day, is truly incredible. Simply by wearing this regular-looking (stylish even!) ring, which is water+everything-proof, and has a full week-long battery, I can track EVERY step, heart beat, breath, and nap. I'm now completely off of all my sleeping pills (I was on seroquel, klonopin, and Ambien!), exercising comfortably (usually not more than Ours says is necessary that day), just overall living a MUCH healthier life! My only feature request would be to be able to MANUALLY SELECT WHICH RESTFUL PERIOD IS COUNTED AS YOUR SLEEP EVENT! I often work crazy hours, and if I nap from 1-2am for example, that'll sometimes get counted as my sleep for that day, not my actual sleep from 7am-2pm (which IS recorded properly as a "restful event", but with only a single HR/HRV value). Other than that, it's perfect!

Great except for fitness tracking. The ring is great and I’ve really enjoyed the sleep tracking and readiness insights for the past few months. However, it’s really far behind as a fitness tracker. You can only record workout heart rates for indoor/outdoor running and cycling or walking - nothing else. And if you do another workout like weightlifting, playing soccer, etc, you just have to hope that the ring notices you’re active. After the workout, if it noticed that you were active, you can choose from a massive list of activities - but ONLY after and IF it notices you were moving. Mine hardly notices it if I’m lifting or playing a sport or anything like that. It doesn’t really make sense to me that you can’t indicate another sport or activity prior to a workout or even select “other” before a workout and choose from the list they already have after. For the price of the ring and the technology in it, it should have a bit more flexibility for people who are even somewhat active.

Excellent tech, mediocre app. The Oura ring is a great wearable. Lightweight, attractive, with good battery life. The sleep stage graphs in the app are much more correlated with my lived experience than any purely app-based sleep tracker I’ve tried, so I trust Oura’s technology. One thing that disappoints me is the small amount of information made available to me. I can find no way to export granular raw data for doing my own analyses. And neither the app nor the online dashboard supports views I would like to see, such as how my body temperature fluctuates throughout the day. (There is a relationship between body temperature and sleep.) In general, I would love to see more emphasis on helping people understand what daytime factors influence their sleep (onset of sleepiness, regularity and duration of sleep stages, premature wake-ups, etc). This would empower people to take steps to improve their sleep quality. The data is there. Hopefully these features will be added in the future. If Oura doesn’t have the resources to do this effectively in-house, they could consider partnering with universities, the way they have for Covid studies. Sleep is absolutely critical for human health, so it deserves this level of attention.

5 star app, will change to 5 stars after one ridiculous bug is fixed. Dude. This app in general is actually fantastic. I completely recommend it. I must add, however, that there’s a bug that slightly disgraces the quality of the rest of the app. That’s the exercise calories. I usually mix running and lifting in my workouts. I measure my heart rate during that time to log my workouts. The calories during the workout, I choose “outdoor running” because it’s the closest option to what I do, depend on *time* and not on how much work you did or how far you ran. This is a ridiculous heuristic, and considering the sophistication in the rest of the app, is a real shame. The other day, I accidentally forgot to “end my workout” on the app. When I finally realized 25 hours later, the app logged that I spend 16,000 calories!!!!!!!! And I couldn’t erase that, even after deleting the workout lol. Other than my workout, I had walked and sat around all day. NOT spending 16,000 calories. This has got to be fixed man that’s absurd. It insults anyone serious about working out. Thus, once this is fixed, I’m changing my review to 5 stars. Until then, one star.

Rethink your subscription model. I love my Oura ring and the app. I recommend the product as much as I can. This is why I beg Oura to rethink their subscription model. I do not mean get rid of it, but rather make it fair and logical. Remember your mission and understand that your customers picked Oura because it gave us a simple and complete way to understand our health without a subscription. It is my understanding that if you do not pay for the subscription for your Oura ring 3 you will only get your 3 scores but not the deep data that comes with it such as temp, HRV, sleep data and more. These scores are useless without this deep data. Oura please make this deep data available to non subscribers, and have a subscription for anything else that is extra. We are already investing $300 or more for the ring so please drop the paywall, at least when it comes to the deep data for the 3 main scores. I still love my ring and the app but I can no longer just recommend Oura to anyone. Thank you.

Good for sleep, not for athletes. I bought this for my sleep tracking, and for that purpose it has worked well. But the Activity and “Readiness” scores/tracking is completely useless. I am an armchair athlete who is in great shape and works out regularly, with a combination of cardio and strength training of various types, including tennis etc. Every day since I have gotten it, the ring suggests that my readiness is Low and that I should have an active calorie burn of about 150 calories. Which I can get walking around the house in a day, with no real exercise. Supposedly the NBA players are using this (can’t imagine what their readiness scores are!) I wish the Oura were “smart,” meaning it gets to know me and my body and my activity trends, and then could compare my readiness to my average, not some generalized person with a much lower assumed level of fitness and exercise. Or it could allow you to pick from some profiles where one is an active athlete. As it is now, a potentially valuable part of the system- Readiness and Activity recommendations- are completely useless. If you read reviews, you can see this is a common complaint. I hope Oura sees and is working on this!

Excessively complicated and feature lacking. I bought this to track sleep, which it does well, but there are a lot of flaws. 1) the graphs are excessively complicated ( who uses a stacked bar graph??) and I always feel like I’m being inundated with data.2) it doesn’t do a good job detecting naps and you also can’t edit naps 3) it shows you sleep and movement throughout the night but you can’t drag your finger across the timeline to see at what point in the night you had movement 4) it tends to adjust your sleep score based on length of sleep rather than quality of sleep I.e. I had a night of terrible sleep but because I slept for 8+ hours I had nearly a perfect sleep score. 5) It shows your average blood oxygen throughout the night instead of a bar graph or line graph that shows how it varies throughout the night. I could go on but I won’t - honestly the pillow app is better, much more accurate, and easier to digest

Great product and service!. PRODUCT: I don’t typically write reviews on apps, but had to for my Oura. I’ve had mine for just a little over a year and have loved it. I chose the Oura because I have an analog watch that I love and I wear a lot of bracelets, so I didn’t want another thing on my wrist. Also, I have had other wrist worn activity trackers in the past and didn’t feel they were very accurate. The Oura is great because it fits with my existing jewelry. My only complaint is that I can’t do weight lifting with it because it will break (and the little nubs are painful when they dig in, I’ve tried doing kettlebell or dumbbell workouts with it on)! SERVICE: I noticed I was having to charge my ring more frequently in the last couple months, but just thought it was because I picked up my old sport of tennis again and was taxing it with more data. However, when it got to be needing a charge every 36-48 hours, I knew it wasn’t just my imagination. By the time this has happened, I had just passed my year anniversary of having the Oura (by a week). I contacted customer service (super easy through the app) and they responded right away. They mailed out a new ring for me the following day! It arrived while I was out of town, so I’ve only just activated it. It was easy to delete the old ring and pair the new one. I’m happy to have it back and get back to being able to monitor my health again!

Product is a great tool but has some way to go before awesome. Dec 2023 update: something quirky going on with the new Tagging feature. I added a tag to yesterday but it’s associating it with today. I try to go and delete the tag from yesterday and can’t find where to do this. There is no “Summary” for the day for me to select and see the Tags as their website suggests. Previous and still valid review: My primary issue is that the ring thinks I’m sleeping or napping when I’m not. I’ll be fully awake and it will think I’m sleeping- it even believed that I’m in deep sleep! I’m not sure why- I do have a very low heart rate. But then I’ll have a decent nights sleep (just based on my lack of insomnia and the the feeling of being alert and rested) and it will tell me I had no deep sleep. And currently the app is only letting me adjust my bedtime and not my wake up time. So it essentially thinks I go to bed at 530p and get up at 930a. Even when I’ve successfully adjusted the times, the app will revert back to the original times. Arghh! But I like the ring enough to have gone ahead and upgraded to the new Gen 3. I like seeing my HRV, HR and body temp. It has helped me realize how bad it is to eat late.

Could be better. There are things I love about this app like monitoring my hrv and how many hrs of sleep I’m getting. That is how many hrs I’m getting at night. I frequently take naps during the day they are very much needed for me to feel 100%. Unfortunately the app only tracks maybe 1 of 3 or 4 naps. I’ve had the ring for almost a year now so I think I have a good idea of what it can do. I frequently look at this data to help gage my physical health especially dealing with a chronic pain condition knowing where I’m at helps. As a female it’s important to know our cycles and temperatures which the app sort of tracks. Basically you get your estimated start day and can track day one but no other data can be collected for that week, so it’s not accurate for tracking also it only gives a warmer or cooler temperature gage while sleeping but not your actual temperature. The ring battery life is now only a couple days. I put mine on airplane mode at night so I get a bit more time per charge. I would have to say I liked the gen 3 ring way better back in February, march & april of 2022. Now it’s trying to collect too much data which would be fine if the data it collected was full data not just a hodgepodge of bits and pieces.

Where do I begin. I was gifted an Oura ring from my job a few months ago, and at first everything worked fine. Once about a month after I got it, the ring disappeared from my Bluetooth list of devices, and after trying to find it again per the Oura online instructions, I ended up having to delete and redownload the app, and it worked. Fast forward 3 months, and the ring disappeared again. This time, reloading the app didn’t work, and my online account I set up when I first used the ring completely disappeared. I could no longer log into my account as my email was no longer recognized, and my ring either is just dead or isn’t broadcasting anymore. It’s as if my account was just deleted from their servers. On the app, I can’t get past a screen that tells me to connect to an Oura ring, which I can’t do. I contacted customer service via email, and they weren’t able to do anything. They said I’d be contacted by the warranty department, and that was weeks ago. When the ring and app worked, they were very helpful health monitoring tools. When they don’t work, you’re pretty much out of luck. The only good news is I didn’t pay for this; I’d be pretty upset if I paid out of pocket and all I have to show for it is a microchipped hematite ring.

Really got screwed over by the Gen 2 to Gen 3 transition. I bought my Oura ring a matter of weeks before the cut off of the new Oura ring. For reference, I got my Mom a ring at the 2 weeks after for her birthday and they automatically gave her a Gen 3. I followed up multiple times with customer service to see about upgrading or returning or trading in and they weren’t helpful. They are sticking to their arbitrary cut off date and totally f*cling their customers in the process. We all got an over the top email from the CEO promising a big deal but the deal ended within a matter of days of the email and tracking down customer service to figure it all out was a mess. For instance, I had to email customer service 3 times through 2 different methods before getting any response. I’m sure the Gen 3 will track certain things more effectively as right now Gen 2 clearly gets thrown by certain things. Anyway, I’d heard such good things but was really let down by my experience. It’s been exhausting to try to figure it all out and I really wanted them to be better then they turned out to be. It’s like chasing a company down a rabbit hole to get any kind of answer. Hope they figure it out and meanwhile, I’m not so sure if there’s a truly authentic source on their product to be honest.

Nice ring, does not record temperature. The ring is pretty useful for activity tracking. I was disappointed it does not record temperature (only some warmer/colder scores). It essentially also only tracks heart rate when asleep. I love the one week battery life time though. The app is intuitive and shows a good overview of sleep information and breathing rate etc. Nicely integrated with Apple Health Kit. Breaking news: The ring has a sensor to measure your weight and height. Or so it claims because it requests write access to your height and weight .... Seriously? Update: Thanks for the dev response. Nevertheless, you should still display the raw body temperature somewhere even if the change is more interesting to look at. Ideally share the temperature into HealthKit if that's what you track anyhow or maybe share one value per night. Likewise it'd be great to have a choice to sometimes track HR/HRV when sitting still for long enough during the day (at the expense of battery). It's clunky to have to run find the phone for that. And fix the access right bug where Oura requires write access to height and weight.

Could be way better. I bought the Oura ring years ago and felt it could be better. I recently bought it again, hoping that it would have more ergonomic and intuitive user interface on the app. The app does not present information easily. With as much money, you are spending on the ring and then as much money that we’re paying monthly the information could be presented to the users easily. For instance, why do we have to scroll through when there can easily be a dashboard for all the information? You have to dig for the information you want if there was a dashboard you could click on ideal information that you’re interested in looking further into, but you have to scroll all the way down and really dig for what you’re trying to find. Really not satisfied and it’s unfortunate because the rings are expensive. I don’t think the company is focusing on the user as much as they should. All the information is wonderful, but making sure that the users can actually access that information easily quickly and intuitively would be ideal. Hoping they get better!

I love Oura! Feature request here …. First off, I love my Oura 4 ring. It has freed me from the tyranny of my smartwatch, and I’m now back to enjoying my collection of fine timepieces only choosing to wear my Apple Watch Ultra when I exercise. The sleep tracking and HRV measurements are also more precise than the Apple Watch, and the Oura, overall, takes more of a general wellness - rather than fitness - approach to monitoring your wellbeing, which I appreciate. And now for a feature suggestion/request: Is it possible to add a smart alarm to awaken the user in a light phase of sleep close to their alarm wake-up time? Apps such as SleepCycle and Sleepzy have this functionality, and it would be great if Oura - with it’s precision sleep stage monitoring - had this functionality along with an Apple Watch integration that could trigger the alarm on the watch in a light phase of sleep. Thank you for making such an excellent wellness device.

Good product. My wife and I have been wearing the rings for months now. I would call us product advocates since we too have found the information very useful. The rings are stylish and practical. The data provided is extensive and useful. A friend shared an article that noted the rings are not very accurate. They compared it to a sophisticated medical device. While good insight I would hardly expect a $300 ring to perform at the same level as a medical device that would cost multiples of this product. The medical grade technology is also not comfortable and would not be used daily. The author also “argues” with the rings comparing how he felt to what the ring stated. Odd thing to do. I find it reliable and tends to be pretty accurate about things like the difference between when I have ingested alcohol or not. The difference is as dramatic as it’s supposed to be. I recommend you look at this as a tool and not necessarily a medical grade device. It can provide useful insights as to how your behavior is affecting your sleep and vice versa.

This is a tool, not an answer. First this is a fantastic product for tracking and understanding trends. It’s functionality with the app, and the fact that it’s a ring is incredible. Second, HRV and heart rate are starting to fade out in terms of accurate assessment as HRV systems are not all the same... you will see in Formula1 racing they no longer use these things. Nonetheless, it’s decent for the public to play with. Oura does not track heart rate or HRV very clearly. I’ve tested this against several other products and devices. Most of which are incredibly well tested. Ive spoken with several other users, and they are getting the same information. For instance, when Oura tells me my RHR was 58 last night, then I put on a medical grade HR/SPO2 monitor and sit down (mind you I’m not lying down asleep) and my HR is at 52, that is a significant difference in terms of testing. This is a problem. BUT, I digress and will say that the ability to track over time and see where you make specific changes or trends is great, and the portability is top notch. $299+ will need to change... but there are plenty of “hackers” afraid of dying who will gladly pay for the next technological product to get them further away from feeling what they are plenty capable of feeling without the tech.

Meh.. I switched from FitBit to Oura about a year ago. After +-1 year, my Oura has to be charged every 3 days. It lasted 7 days for the first few months and quickly faded. I don’t expect it to last much longer. I’ll probably go back to FitBit soon. I got much better insights from my Fitbit, though it was too bulky and intrusive for my taste (my reason for the switch). I’d recommend the Oura if all you’re concerned with is sleep analysis. But everything else is subpar compared to FitBit. You can’t get real-time anything from Oura. You have to stop and take a “moment” to get any real-time data. My last FitBit basically told me I was pregnant before a pregnancy test came up positive (4 years ago). I can’t even track my cycle with the Oura. And now that they’ve jumped on the subscription bandwagon…im completely over it. I spent $300 on this ring…my FitBit was 1/3 the price and lasted 3+ times longer with better insights. my final thoughts, Oura is not worth it if you want to keep track of your stats.

Metrics are way off. I’ve had this ring for years for sleep monitoring. I only recently started really using the Activity tracker for steps in a day. It is way off. I have been walking on a treadmill while working and kept the ring on my finger and the phone in my pocket. I walked about 7000 steps according to the treadmill itself. Apple Health states I have walked 9,226 so far today. Oura states I have walked 2,922 today. Yesterday I ran into the same problem and I thought it was because I had my phone on my desk rather than in my pocket. But now it’s clear that Oura doesn’t use the data from the sensors in the phone itself like Apple Health does and relies only on the ring itself. If I am walking and typing at the same time, my phone in my pocket will pick up my steps, but the ring will not because it’s remaining steady. Either that or the Oura step is not using the phone sensor data correctly. Either way, massively disappointed in something that was nearly half a grand. It makes me wonder how good the sleep tracking is. I will do a sleep study soon and find out…

Not particularly useful. Unfortunately, this app and the ring don’t actually add much value to anything. It does not do a great job at fitness/activity tracking, it tracks your hear rate just like every other device out there does, it makes up “readiness” scores that don’t really tell you anything you don’t already know. My readiness is 82! What does that even mean? How does this help me? The only thing that might set this apart is the sleep tracking function. I’m sorry to say it is pretty much worthless. I have sleep issues and just did a full, in-lab polysomnogram: you’re hooked to a pulse oximeter, EKG, full EEG, they monitor your movements etc. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea with an AHI of 45 (that’s a measure of how many times an hour you stop breathing and your oxygen levels fall at least 3%). Normal is less than 5. My lowest oxygen level was 74%! On the same night, my ring and the app said I had a sleep score of 82, and my breathing during sleep was “good” and my oxygen level average was 98%. Completely divorced from actual reality, but worse: this “data” from oura is dangerously wrong. If I believed the ring, I would think I was doing fine. Untreated severe sleep apnea is life threatening and must be treated. I would advise you to stay away from using this product. It’s useless at best and dangerously wrong at worst.

Inaccurate sleep/awake readings. I purchased the Oura Ring strictly to collect accurate sleep data. Exactly how much sleep do I get each night? I will typically wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble falling back asleep. Or I will wake up very early and not be able to fall asleep for the remainder of the night. After three weeks of usage, I’ve determined that the Oura ring cannot accurately detect when I am actually asleep and when I am awake. If I’m lying awake in bed from 2-4am the ring will say I fell back into REM sleep or light sleep. There is no way to manually change this reading. If I wake up early but do not get out of bed the ring will think I’m still sleeping. At least the app will allow me to manually change my morning wake up time. Why not allow us to make manual changes to the middle of the night data? Better yet, improve the accuracy of the readings so that it can actually tell the difference between awake and sleep. It’s still a helpful tool, but it falls short of my expectations. . . Waiting for some more improvements.

This would be great except for one major flaw. I bought the Oura ring primarily for sleep tracking. Unfortunately, it works poorly for this due to a design choice that Ours views as a feature not a bug. Here is the problem - when I get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom (and as I’m a man over 60, this is basically every night), the sleep tracking records either the period before I got up or the period after. There is no way to correct the period in the app. You can shorten the period it records as sleep but not lengthen it. When I contacted Oura about this they confirmed that that is how the App works and said that if I was to adjust the period to lengthen it I might corrupt the data and get inaccurate stats. I don’t understand how the results could possibly be worse than they are when half of the time I was asleep are missing. I have been using a Fitbit for sleep tracking and it’s not any better at automatically handling this situation but the software allows you to manually correct the sleep period. If Oura allowed me to do this I would give it five stars. Since they don’t I’m probably going to return the ring.

Life changing product!. I’ve been a customer since the generation 1 ring. The amount I’ve learned through the use of this ring has been incredible, along with the accountability it creates to make changes in life. Looking at my data over the past 6 years is fascinating, I have no idea how I was coping with my poor sleep quality before purchasing this ring and enacting changes in my life based on the feedback. I just want to thank the ŌURA team for making such an incredible product, and for their excellent customer service over the years. I am a bit confused by some of the reviews mentioning bad customer service because they’ve always been incredibly responsive to me and have replaced 3 rings for me in the past through warranty, in a very quick and no cost manner. Thank you team ŌURA!

I love love love love this ring. Did I tell you I love it?. My husband passed away a little over a year ago and my sleep has been very sporadic. I often have insomnia. I am trying very hard to get back into a healthy sleep pattern. I have taken over his company and travel a week - 10 days out of the month in different time zones. That, coupled with grief hasn’t been helpful for sleep. The Oura rings helps me to understand my sleep patterns. The first thing I do is check my sleep in the am. I’m still not falling asleep when I should every night, but I am making a point to get at least 7 hours sleep. I love how it tells me about rem sleep and deep sleep and how many calories I burn during the day. It truly makes me more mindful. I even add my meditations in and I can see how my breath slows and my heart beat slow. Just an all around game changer.

This is it? And they want a subscription?! Nah son.. Putting aside the poor connectivity of the device (two days owned), the app is surprisingly limited for being the “established” and longest existing ring wearable on the market. /—-Deets—-/ The only widget the app offers are on sleep. Making it so that I have to UNLOCK my phone, FIND the app, then DIG out stats from their SUB-menus. If mental wellness really is a goal, they’d offer us the ability to not have to engage with our phones beyond a glance. The app’s landing page is filled with irrelevant how-to’s that CANNOT be swiped away or closed. Worse is that you can’t even organize the position of tiles, or place stats from sub menus on the home page. Upon set up, I’m asked the “gender I was born as”, but still pushed female centric features. This isn’t some anti-female comment, this is coming from myself as a developer. If you’ve gathered information about me upon set up, why not use that to suppress irrelevant features? Best I can tell, it’s throwing every content tile they have available, attaching a “soothing” banner and fluff content just to present itself as a completed/feature-rich app. Ultimately, I’m likely returning and canceling plans to buy one for my partner and mom. The device’s connection issues and the app’s lack of growth (which I’d be paying for yearly?!) only make the case to keep on keeping with a watch. Or until Apple releases their own non-watch wearable or I leap back to Samsung.

The best wearable on the market. I’ve had an Oura ring since it was a big black pebble and kept upgrading as they went. It has such an impact on my daily health choices and how mindful I am about simple things like walking more and consistent bedtimes. It’s changed my mindset subtly - the scores keep me tuned into my behaviors in ways other things don’t. Having the new data to track basal body temp for monitoring my cycle more easily is an amazing upgrade, but it was already awesome before they added that feature. It’s small, light, the charge lasts for days and days, the information and features they continue to provide in the app are valuable without being overwhelming and having 5+ years of data is amazing to look back on. Being able to consistently measure HRV is essential and my doctor is a big fan of the tech too and we use the data for our work together as well. The app developers spend the time listening to their customers and invest in keeping the app updated and their customer support is fantastic. This app and this device are the best thing out there and the value is excellent for what you get. Have recommended it to so many friends and family members who now swear by it too.

Not even close to accurate. Terrible customer service.. If you use a keyboard all day for work, don’t expect the Oura ring to accurately track your activity. My steps are being doubled every day and the culprit is using the computer for work. Spoke with their customer service rep, Ross, and experienced possibly the worst level of service I have ever come across. First he ignored my questions in my first two emails and simply sent me cut and paste responses from their help Center. Then, after acknowledging that they’re aware of the issue, his solution was for me to take off the ring while I’m working. Not sure what I paid $400 plus an ongoing subscription for if I can’t wear it 8-10 hours per day while working. After I asked for a refund he quickly tried to backtrack and said he would have the product team “look into it”, then he stopped replying to me and is now simply ignoring my emails. Have gone through their website for a refund instead. Will be reverting to an Apple Watch. Better product. Better customer service. More accuracy.

Support needs work. I’ve had the Oura ring for a while now and I love the data but when there’s an issue, it is very difficult now to get the right support. Because they have handed over the support to AI. It’s difficult to read way through to somebody human. In my case, I’m having to resort to write a review here because after exploring the Support options can’t seem to get help. So here’s my issue. I usually walk between 45 to 60 minutes a day. Sometimes the distance recorded is accurate and sometimes it’s not. Yesterday, for example I walked almost an hour and I was, recorded to have walked 2.2 miles today. I walked over an hour and it said I walked 1 mile. This happened repeatedly lately. It’s a new issue for me. I tried Finn, the AI chat bought and that was a joke. Useless for me. On several occasions, I’ve tried to weed through it and no. When I click on email support, it shows me past emails, but it doesn’t give me a window to start a new email. Let’s see if I can get some help using this option.

I love it. An investment in health and wellness, I think it has added years to my life and so much better quality to my time now. I use it every day

Not working. As of today the app just won’t open. Spends maybe 20 seconds sitting there with a blue screen and the ring logo; then shuts down. I tried clicking “app support” here and it went to a page that’s not working either. Anyone else in the same boat? A couple weeks later it’s doing this again. The app support button here doesn’t work, so what am I supposed to do? It resolved mysteriously, then started again. I have been forced to delete and reinstall the app to get it working then it starts crashing on opening again. Maybe try Whoop instead?

Strategically confused. Had several functional issues with the Oura app when I first started using it, but the design was so good I just got over it. But recently (May 2020) it feels like someone decided on a strategy change, can almost hear their conversation “we need to expand our market beyond sleep and into fitness tracking”. Well, you should have made two different apps (my opinion). You’ve only succeeded in ruining what was a reasonably good sleep-focused app, while simultaneously making a very confusing fitness-focused app.

Unreliable information. I found the ring to be very unreliable and inconsistent with its ability to read information. Oura ring customer support were useless they just kept telling me my ring was either too big or I was having a iregular heartbeat which is not a case. I’m back on my Garman now on and my iregular heartbeat and inconsistent readings have totally vanished. Please check the Google reviews for this product before you jump into It based on the review of their app.

New app design awful. Overall I like the ring and I used to love the app but the latest update changed the layout and it’s awful and chunky. I have to scroll more to see my data and it makes zero sense why they’d do this.

Used to be more accurate. We have three Oura rings and have the same issue with them. There are less and less accurate. You can have a sleepless night and Oura tells you that your readiness is 91% but you feel terrible. My temperature is always-0.7 C but not when I use a thermometer. And so many other inaccuracy.

Stay away from ōura ring. When the ring was working, I was loving the Ōura ring snd the app. Few months back, the ring stopped working. I contacted the support. Originally, it took them about a week to get back with their responses. All messages suggested the same remedy, not fixing the issue at all. Once I asked them to send me an address to mail the faulty ring back, they started ghosting me. I created a new ticket. It has been ghosted for about 3wks. Now, I own expensive an expensive piece of a jewellery. Be careful guys, I truly can’t recommend Ōura ring!

The only wearable worth it.. Sleep is now the single most important thing that experts are honing in on to improve wellness. Oura gives me all the data I need daily to keep on top of my game and switch things up or down if I need to. Amazing product and amazing data.

Very Glitchy.... but amazing when it works !. > After 4 weeks of ownership , Blue tooth keeps dropping out. So frustrating. > hard Reset function is weird. Involves tapping charger on table several times with no precise Indicator of outcome - thought it was a joke when I first saw the trouble shoot video > Customer service responses very very slow. You will need patience. I asked for refund out if frustration and also suggested I was willing to try a replacement. Got a reply on refund but no response to suggestion of replacement??? > Shame is / while I had it working the sleep and readiness data is really great . I was learning so much about how sleep was determining my energy and feeling of well being

Great app, needs better widgets. Love the ring. For improvements, I would love to see the full swag of widgets, particularly to see my scores across the three major areas, trends, etc. right now there are only widgets relating to sleep

Overall A Poor Health Gimmick. I cannot tell you how bad the customer service is for the Oura Ring. It’s the worse I have ever seen of any product I have ever used. Full stop. An example is I asked to return the ring on 1 February 2022 after having it for less than three months for a birthday present. This was after multiple issues and weeks later trying to change my original order. But Oura did not get back to me about my original query for a return until 19 May 2022!!!

Obsessed. For years.. First I tracked sleep and got that sorted. Then it was activity. Still a work in progress. And now I’m learning about my stress and what brings my heart rate up. The resilience tracker has been an incredible insight to the ups and downs of life through work, grief, loss, calm, friends, creativity. Like a night out and a drink or two has an impact alright! A huge part of my understanding about myself and how I might be feeling.

Isn’t tracking my naps. I love what this ring can do, but since you guys came out claiming it can track naps, I have had quite a few and it isn’t recording it. Also, the nights I cannot fall asleep till after midnight (while I’m lying in bed), the ring has said I have either gone into light sleep (while I’m staring at the ceiling), or a short deep sleep at some point when I unequivocally know I’m not asleep? Otherwise would have given it a five star.

App not downloading. App update shows as available but just hangs when trying to download on the iOS App Store. For more than 12 hours now

Life Changing. If you don’t measure you can’t manage Oura gives me so much data to optimise my health love it and have recommended to so many people

When wearable health tech makes a difference. I’ve been using Oura for the last three years and still love it. Initially the feedback I was receiving was confronting, but with clever insight and baby steps to improvement, the Oura ring has helped me get my health trends back on track. I recommend it to everyone.

Can’t live without it. I have had my ring for over a year and absolutely love it. Obsessed with trying to find balance and work on my health. Always happy to see 3 crowns when i am feeling good.

Great features. I’ve had my ring for about 4 months now and it’s great for tracking sleep. I especially like that the ring effectively tracks HRV. My only criticism at the moment is the lack of activity options for tracking activity. Add martial arts, wrestling BJJ please! Love the new moments function though - very interesting data from that.

The best health tracker. Absolutely love my Oura Ring and after only wearing it for just a few weeks I’ve already become more aware and more conscious of my health. It’s by far the best sleep tracker.

Data outliers. I’ve had oura for over a year now, and it is great for getting sleep results while also looking good. However the one thing that I believe could be fixed are outliers in the heart rate monitoring. Quite often I will finish a workout and the ring will measure my heart rate at 40 to 50 bpm before shooting up to 100 and staying there until I recover. There should be an algorithm as to if there are massive outliers like that they should be removed as it ruins the average heart rate graph.

Put the positive back into the interface. The latest update has replaced the very elegant and visually consistent + shortcut icon on the app with a god-awful ring thing that looks like a 1990s Clippy from Microsoft and a yellow bubble of options that looks like a post-it note. Please fire the person responsible for this travesty and put the old shortcut symbol back.

Good & Not so good. I like the ring because it gives me an insight into my sleep patterns and other metrics. What it doesn’t do that I would like it to do is actually record anytime I go to bed and sleep, not just when it thinks I am sleeping or should be sleeping! Also I have gotten a weird recording once in a while that made no sense to me at all ... the clock recorded sleep made no sense. th

Good data - looking forward to even more innovation!. When I read reviews about the Oura ring I was skeptical as to how relevant the data it collected would be, being primarily a sleep tracker. I was surprised and delighted at the extent of the data collected. My other fitness tracker is more tuned to athletes, so the insights are… based on high achievers vs more day to day lifers. I would like to see a little more personalized feedback, but it does seem to be heading in that direction, so I am hopeful the more granular analysis will continue to filter down. I was only in a position to get a used gen3 ring, which has still turned out to be perfect; however the unexpected and disappointing aspect was the $10p/m subscription fee. I believe the usd$ fee is promoted most often, so an almost 2x relative cost p/m was not welcome and did make me hesitate quite a bit. I’m not a fan of subscription models to begin with, having dumped Adobe some years back. If it increased further I would need to consider other options or consider relying on my other fitness tracker which has no subscription for its data. Be very mindful OURA. Otherwise, I am pleased with their product, and would recommend for regular people to athletes.

Appalling Customer Service. Whilst the product itself is without doubt excellent the customer service is the worst I have experienced in many years. I needed to do a return/ exchange, the details being clearly explained on the website BUT after that it is a fraud. Nothing happens as described and 6 WEEKS after starting the process ( and several other attempts) still no response except the initial autogenerated “ we are very busy but will be in contact within 7 days”. So now my 30 day window for exchange/ return has expired!!! Simply unacceptable

Can’t update - otherwise excellent. Excellent - just tells me an update is available and gets to 15% and drops. I’ve tried reconnecting etc. a bit frustrating. Would also be good to have normative data to compare and access to some research using Oura.

Feature as a request to improve versatility of the one ring to rule one’s health.. Why can’t we input the amount of calories to burnt each day as a goal personally? Why only max at 550? Why not higher?? It would be a good motivator if we can adjust the amount of calories to burn to “level up” instead of being restricted just only “550” max… why???? 🧐

Battery and GPS accuracy issues. As much as I like the ring, it needs constant recharging where you can’t wear it. The accuracy of gps when exercising is always wrong

Oura is a go to Fitness Device. I have had 16 years of experience in the Fitness Industry and I am currently a Regional Fitness Manager for a Franchise gym branch in Australia. The Oura ring is an absolute must buy for anyone interested in their health and fitness. The measures are highly accurate, reliable and have real world implications that assist in keeping your energy levels high and body fat down. Additionally the support Oura provides is incredible, I’ve had my ring for 3 years, the battery started having issues upon requesting assistance I was given a replacement ring with in three days of reporting the issue. Oura is a brilliant.

Couldn’t live without it. Bought an Oura years ago before the Pandemic. It has been the best investment I’ve ever made. Always tired, it helped identify that I wasn’t getting the sleep I needed (even when I thought I was getting 8 hours!) The more you dig into the easy- to -read data the more you can tweak your routine to get your best results. Works so well recording activity thru the day (even housework) that you can see how much true movement you are getting and how that effects your overall health and sleep. A great investment in your health. Haven’t been sick in years since getting Oura. Whenever my stats get low I know to take better care of myself and not get ill! Thank you Oura. Now if you can only tell me what supplement and vitamins I’m low in!

Please measure in kj not just Cal. This app works great, I love my Oura ring. The data is super helpful. However, there’s no option I can see to switch the activity energy units from Cal to kilojoules. That’s the only thing holding me back from rating this 5 stars.

Please fix the battery drain issue. I love this product but this app has been using a lot of my battery life in the background ever since updating to the latest firmware. Wondering if it’s a software bug. Please help.

Life saver. This device and app saved my life. Please don't ever discontinue this amazing product or downgrade it's functionality in any way. I will always keep using this forever! Thank you

Battery terrible. I love my Oura ring but whereas I used to get a few days out of one charge I am now regularly missing data as my ring is running out of battery in 24 hours. Really frustrating because it affects all of my weekly stats.

Improve You!. Oura has changed my life. I was experimenting with HRV prior to buying the ring, then it took me to another level. And it keeps on getting better. For a female with menstrual cycles, Oura has taught me more than anyone on earth. This has helped my monthly routine, understand my mood and is spot on when the dreadful comes. Thinking with the expense, I will forgo paying for the app when I’m definitely in menopause, but then they add another feature. It keeps getting better! Now with the stressed to restored feature during the day, I am wondering when I charge the ring now … I don't want to lose a second!!!

Aaron. The oura ring has been fantastic so far I’ve had it for three months and it has helped improve my sleep and helped me track my progress during the day.I would certainly recommend getting one

Actionable insight and high quality. We got the Stealth model, and have been using it for 2 years nearly. Really good support from Oura, and they keep adding new insights. This is such a helpful tool for sleep and general well-being.

Issues resolved. Great sleep tracking in particular. Issues in first week have been resolved and enjoying using particularly the sleep tracking and recommendations which are helping me sleep better

Add activities retrospectively. Major flaw in programming is not being able to add activities retrospectively. This needs to be fixed asap as I am a busy woman and will only ever use this app at my own convenience. You are currently limiting valuable data collection. Please explain to me why this issue hasn’t been solved yet and the timeframe it will take to be resolved? Thanks 🌟

Life Changing. Oura gave me the statistical feedback I needed to improve my sleep and overall health. The accuracy of the ring and app combination vastly exceeds other basic sleeping apps and the team is always adding new features.

Buggy app with monthly subscription. Updated app no longer works on iPhone SE. Won’t connect to ring and crashes constantly. Clearly, despite what the app store says, older phones are no longer supported. Considering that the app has a monthly subscription cost now, it’s very worrisome that they’re not ensuring support across all devices. That means that on top of the monthly subscription cost, you also have to be regularly buying a new phone regularly in order to actually get any use out of the expensive ring that you purchased.

Awesome app but it is not warning me about low battery after last update. The Oura app it is awesome, simple to use, hreat information, well organised. The only issue is after the last app update I am not receiving low battery warning anymore. Apart from that, it is great.

Expensive monthly fee.. Great app, but once you have your ring for 6 months there the monthly fee is too much for what it is. Buying an Apple Watch now :) no monthly charges that way.

THE best health investment ever!. The single best investment I’ve made in my health. If you can track it, you can change it - and that’s exactly what Oura has allowed me to do. I was diagnosed with a sleep disorder (idiopathic hypersomnia- a version of narcolepsy) - I had had a turbulent relationship with sleep all my life. My Oura ring has me sleeping now like an Olympian! I owe so much of my newfound vitality to Oura - you folks are life savers!!!

Great customer service. I had a slight issue with my delivery (was an external issue with postal delays) and they responded to my email the next day! It makes me feel good knowing any issues I have will be responded to so promptly by their customer service team Really appreciate it guys, thanks Sophie

What gets measured..... This app is tracking and commenting on many of my foibles. It’s not easy but as it families important health actions I can see it having a profound positive impact in my health. I would order another one tomorrow if I lost mine without a second thought.

New UI not user friendly. I don’t like the new user interface with all of the drop down boxes. I barely open or use the app anymore. I wish there had been a choice on whether to keep the old interface or to switch to the new one. The ring itself I love.

Not a great deal of use really. At first it’s a bit exciting to track your numbers. But it gets pretty uninteresting pretty quickly. Active calorie burn goal is pointless. For example the active calorie burn gives the same goal every day of 400. Consistently I triple this number so it seems pointless and meaningless. It tells me to get ready for bed at 5pm and that’s unhelpful. The readiness score is not a reflection to how ready you really feel. Oura tells me to take it easy and gives a low readiness score, but I’m ready and eager to go hard, again another measure that seems way too generic and has no reflection on reality. I feel there is a lot more Oura could do to make the ring and app less generic, more useful and more meaningful.

Need to address a flaw in activity recording. The Oura Ring provides powerful data to support you in managing your health... however IMHO there is a serious flaw in the app that means you cannot add activity for the previous day. Yes, you should remember to add activities after completing them — but if you should forget, you cannot add them retrospectively. That limits the quality and accuracy of your data — which is basically the entire point of the Oura Ring. That flaw is worse for strength training (given that you need to remove the ring before training to avoid damage in gripping bars or weights). Hopefully the developers address that issue soon. Otherwise, it is great and would be 5/5.

Better health with OURA. Have been a member for more than 6 years now and what a journey it has been with Oura.I got to know my body better and understand it better with all the features Oura has to offer .Tracking my sleep was the main reason for my first purchase,the way Oura performed, plus all the upgrades and new features attributed to my second ring . The only downside I saw with both my rings was how poorly the battery was performing with longer use / as ring aged. Hope this was addressed with the new one .

Great app for the ring.. Really does well at recording your changes in sleep patterns so you can adjust what you do to obtain optimum sleep. The tips are great. Nice to see expansion to other countries of doctors who can help with understanding the results and trends. Love to see an added overnight oximeter meter you can buy as an extra that is tied into the app. It needs a notes section so you can record how you feel, what you ate, drank or supplements or prescription drugs etc you took to help determine what works and doesn’t to get your best sleep.

Imagine you at your best. All the time. Picture yourself at your sharpest and most productive. Your most alert and focused. Your most lucid, creative and confident. At work. At play. In every area of your life. Add Mind Lab Pro® v4.0 to your daily routine and uncap your true potential. Buy Now!

The product is good but I wouldn’t recommend it. Because it’s a one-time purchase, the company doesn’t seem motivated to help if something goes wrong as they already have your money. I learned this yesterday when my charger broke. I’d recommend going with a different product with adequate customer service and support.

Oura ring is amazing. I love my ring and the insight it provides. I would recommend to anyone looking to monitor sleep, activity and recovery to optimize your energy. I’ve used my gen 3 for 2 years now and learned so much about behaviours that can help improve how I feel. I started testing new products and used the Oura ring to gauge if they work. I started a sleep supplement regime and Oura showed me how it has improved my REM and Deep sleep amount, so I am sticking to it. I found out a very specific Starbucks drink will destroy a good night sleep. I’ve optimized when I drink caffeinated drinks so I can still enjoy them and sleep well. My next challenge is to up my meditation to see how I can relax more throughout the day without effecting my sleep. I am pumped for the stress feature that is launching today. Areas of improvement. The cycle section is amazing for those who want to manage birth control. But….. not built to support women in perimenopause….. which is sad, because I feel like they could really be a game changer with some added features to accommodate. Also the battery life is really slipping as I approach the 2nd anniversary of the ring. I wish they had better technology so I didn’t have to consider buying another after only 2 years. Reminds me of the iPhone battery life. If you know, going in, that it is not a long term piece of technology, then maybe it won’t be as disappointing when you are charging 2 times a day and need to invest again. Otherwise…..I really love this piece of technology.

Great. Many upgrades and new features over time. Plenty of insightful metrics to help me reach my objectives. Love it.

Nonexistent customer service….and faulty product!. Numerous issues with the ring and app. Emails sent to customer support result in an auto generated reply of “we are overwhelmed by customer service requests and will responds as soon as we can”. At the date of writing this review ,it’s been three weeks since I sent the last request in. Hearing of returned rings not issuing refunds. Ours does not allow feedback or commenting on their social media sites. I’d highly recommend not buying one if you’re considering it.

Life changing. I love using oura. It’s helped me change my habits and has given me a great perspective on the subtle thing that influence my health

Can’t really tell if you are asleep.. My results frequently show times I was awake in the early portion of the night when I have no recollection of being awake. In the later portion of sleep closer to morning I will wake up multiple times, have multiple recollections of seeing the clock recall the times and even have spoken with my bed partner and it thinks I’m asleep. It is good at showing the effect of alcohol on resting heart rate.

Love, love, love it. I love my Oura Ring,.. it helps keeps me accountable, It’s accurate, and it’s so interesting to track my bodies health. I can’t believe the technology in this little ring.

App has removed features. Recent update to the app has removed features that were included when I purchased the ring. Guided meditations that were included at purchase have been removed and placed behind a subscription paywall. This was not advertised at purchase and is shady to say the least. I have been an avid user of my Oura, but I don’t plan to upgrade to Gen 3 based on their bad business practices.

Constant Issues Updating. App updating freezes every single time and leaves an open notification on my phone. This is the only app that does this.

Account was successfully created with a membership plan, then error on Unable to verify account.. Just got the ring and went on the app to set up, followed the prompt and created the account with membership plan. And was told to return to the Oura App to personalize. After pressing continue on the app, it said “We were unable to verify your account. Please complete the instructions in the Account Setup email. If you didn't receive this email, check your spam folder or resend below.” so I went on resend the email and did the process again, same thing happened. Them I chose continue, I went back to the original screen. I repeated this process 3 times and it is frustrating. So I went on to contact for support. There is no phone number to call, there is a bot to create a ticket for me and told to be expected a reply within 48 hours. Not a great way to start.

Half step UI update?. I really REALLY hope this is some sort of half step towards a better UI. If not, the new UI is a disaster, valuable data berried, pointless out of context info taking up prime real estate. Definitely makes me tempted to try one of the competitors, the old UI was one of the only reasons OURA was still considered the leader… that definitely changed with this hot garbage.

App doesn’t seem to work with iOS 18. After iOS upgrade, it won’t allow me to sign in (error message) even after all the recommended troubleshooting. Frustrating, and basically makes the ring useless. It used to really like it.

The one thing…. I love my Oura ring. The ONE thing you guys need to do is let us Record Workout HR with various types of exercises. Eg. Functional strength training, step master, etc.

Oura can’t fix basic syncing issues. Oura has a known syncing problem with Apple Watch workouts where calories burned are missed calculated, or not taken into account at all in the app. It renders the rest of the Oura app completely useless, as the other scores are all thrown off by the incorrect activity score. This bug makes the Oura ring a really expensive piece of useless plastic.

Transformational. The ring is transformational. The app is quite nice. I love the dark mode. No distractions. My sleep has been so much better as well as my productivity during the day. The ring helped me prioritize sleep over any distractions in the evening. The app helps understand, keep track, and motivates me to keep improving.

Bugs in new update. The new update is not tracking my sleep.

Need a subscription for any data. It’s unfortunate that a subscription is required for any useful data. The only time I see a score is if I wear it while sleeping. Which is of no use. After my free one year ended, I’ve tried to come back for a month to try new features. I really hoped they could give at least half of the data for free because this ring just sits in a charger now. I’m very disappointed spending money on this. We have too many subscriptions these days and now with pricing fees going up, another reason to not use this too.

Terrible “upgrade” & customer service. At first I was in love with the ring. I upgraded to the new version and it’s full of bugs. No response from customer service. I had cancelled my Whoop order but will be returning this and switching to the Whoop band.

Life Changing!. While staying in Tokyo, I picked up an Oura ring at Yodobashi, having wanted to switch from my Apple Watch. Over the past year, this decision has been transformative. The Oura ring has provided deep insights into my health, making it clear how certain habits and actions were affecting me. These insights made it easy to implement positive changes. I’m incredibly grateful for this device, and I highly recommend it to everyone. As a 21st century human, having a tool like this is invaluable!

Cannot connect to my ring. Very bad connection, I cannot connect to my ring

Don’t waste your money. Battery died in less than a year. Support is doing nothing and doesn’t care. Complete waste of money. Don’t buy this product.

Fantastic. I feel that I have a medical team 24/7 with me, working in the background, without me ever noticing them. I have a very stressful work, it affects my daily life, sleep and performance. This little ring is helping me cope. I do have the monthly subscription, and I gladly pay it so the Oura team can keep on developing product that is directly supporting me. I am a data driven person, so all the parameters that are being tracked, I appreciate.

No support. No ring.. Spent over 4OO$ CAD . Waited 3 weeks. No ring. Sent multiple letters for support and to assist with tracking. No response. Absolutely horrendous support and can’t rate the ring cause I never got it. Would not recommend.

More languages. I need Ukrainian language

My Oura Ring. I am incredibly in love with my ring and its abilities!! None like you out there! I have been a member for a very long time and continue to be in awe And now Veri acquisition Looking forward to incorporating it as well I am in Canada This is the best purchase I have made and it has made tremendous difference in my health following its recommendations and following the data Thank you!❤️

After recent update. My gen 4 ring keeps getting disconnected now and have to put it back on charger to reconnect after waiting for some time. Once off charger ring gets disconnected after some time.

Not worth it. Loved my Oura 2 while it lasted. Yet, it did not last. Only option is to repurchase a whole new device that, unlike Oura 2, is held hostage by a subscription model. Way to fumble the ball, Oura sales and marketing

New update. I HATE the new UI. It’s terrible. Add an option to turn it back.

If you are interested in your body and how it works. This is a must in three months. It has made big changes in my life and health and steadily, growing on the graft straight upwards on a incline. But steadily going up, very happy?

Expensive. Expensive! And try to become a member in fact that option should be app activated. Payed membership this is causing a low sleeping score.

Activités quotidiennes. Pour amélioration: Il serait bien de pouvoir ajouter des activités a tout moment dans le passé. Car si l’activité n’est pas détecté, on ne peut pas l’ajouter le lendemain si on a pas pensé ou pas eu le temps de l’ajouter manuellement. Merci

Ring won’t connect. My ring won’t connect to my new phone. There is absolutely no explanation or message for troubleshooting. It only says ‘try again later’. SMH.

Latest version lost my sleep data. I just downloaded the latest version and noticed all my sleep and heart rate data before May has disappeared! Pls fix ASAP.

Useless without a sub. I used the ring with the free trial subscription and it’s great. After that, it is completely useless. The free data they show gives you absolutely no information. I am sure they are making a lot of money selling your data to big companies, but Oura won’t show your own data to you!

Faulty Product. I started having battery and syncing issues due to a faulty manufactured product and Oura will do nothing about it! I literally have to coinflip on whether or not my sleep gets tracked, its so frustrating!! This is seriously the worst customer service I've had for the amount of money I've paid for this product. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Not downloading. I love the app and the ring. The problem is that it is trying to update right now and it won’t download. All of my other apps weee able to update, so I assume it’s a problem with the Oura update.

Hidden fees. Didn’t realize I’d need to purchase the device as well as a subscription to the app to use it at all, as well as another app subscription to get any useful data in terms of bbt and cycle tracking. Shoulda gone with the Apple Watch for more functionality overall.

Fav tracker. Is it expensive. Yes. I wish there was a yearly subscription discount. I love everything tho. But I do wish I could log my weight to track too.

Can’t set up an account. Keep getting an error message when sending an email to activate the account. This is garbage.

New app ui sucks. Harder to access information. New vitals and health tabs are useless

Take data with a grain of salt. Has provided some helpful data but also drove me nuts for several months until I gave up on trusting it’s sleep stage data. It has been telling me I get almost no REM sleep for the past several months (had the ring since January and REM has been on steady decline). This drove me absolutely nuts trying different supplements, adjusting sleep hygiene, literally anything that might help. I even went to the doctor and got referred to a sleep clinic that hooked me up to a bunch of gear then told me I have no issues. After reading Dr Walkers “Why We Sleep” he put my concerns to rest in that these devices are not yet accurate in determining ones sleep stages. The frustrating point is that Oura really caused a lot of anxiety and concern around my lack of REM. My Fitbit charge 3 gives consistently more accurate readings of sleep stages based on how I feel in the mornings when not relying on these gadgets to tell me how rested I am. I initially raved about the oura ring but now give friends an honest review and typically don’t recommend.

Heading in the wrong direction…. Promising company that has seemingly fallen off a cliff after raising seed money. No support from in the app, or outside of it. Seems to be chasing money now rather than building a community / good product anymore. Sad to see this happen to Oura who was one of the good ones before their botched launch of the Gen 3.

The worst update. Why for the live of god you’d hide things I want to see the first when using device like Oura and add a stupid home screen that doesn’t provide any relevant information? I wonder if you did ANY customer research?! Who needs absolute numbers if you need to monitor your data in dynamic with graphs?! Seriously, Oura, I’ve been advocating for you for the past two years but it is the worst UI update. Your product & UX/UI team MAJORLY screwed up.

Doesn’t track everything. It doesn’t track steps on stairmaster or gym workouts.

Acknowledged bugs and no will to fix them. It worked for a while. Until the ring got confused of my body temperature because of a hot bath and I could no longer follow tendencies because of this high peak that made the regular data a bunch on lines at the bottom of the chart. They said there is nothing they can do to make the data readable. After that I realized that the rings thinks I wake up two hours too early. Because my boyfriend wakes up earlier the ring register more movement and thinks I woke up. Once again they said that they wouldn’t do anything although the see the problem. This ring is quite expensive for being among of the least accurate of the market. In resume, the programming is an enormous weekpoint probably because the team is negligent on the matters brought by customers experience. Other cheaper device are much more accurate and have better consideration for costumers.

Old app was better. Subscription fee is ridiculous. Can’t use the ring I paid for without it.. Prior to the new update I really liked it very simple to use. Everything was really organized now with the new update. I have no idea where anything is. I feel like I use my ring less because I don’t know how to put in my activity. I can’t see my activity. I can’t see where my temperature is anymore. It’s extremely complicated versus everything just being right there before when you went into the app so I would highly recommend going back to how it was. Because we need to pay for this app and we need to pay for natural cycle so if I need to relearn how to use the new app system, I might as well just go and buy a ring that goes with my phone and learn that one and not have to pay subscription fees.

Gen3 forfait mensuel. Applicable pour la bague génération 3 ! Le forfait mensuel devient obligatoire pour que la bague soit utile et plaisante. Sans forfait vous avez avez trois chiffre sans aucune description ni signification aucun détail sommeil ni statistique activité. Seulement méditation que YouTube peut remplacer. En somme, elle devient inutile sans forfait mensuel … À ce point optez pour une Apple Watch, application cellulaire ou autre. Les disponibilités de base ne sont pas généreuse, mise à jour svp

I am hooked!. I have been using my Oura ring for almost 3 years now and I am hooked! This is the first thing I look at every day. I have been blown away by its accuracy as well. It is technically not supposed to be as accurate as the measurements in a lab which makes sense. However, I have had the unfortunate privilege of really testing it and verifying it by being woken up by my little children several times per night for the past 3 years. It is amazing that the Oura ring knows when I am awake and what kind of sleep I was having prior to that. For example, one can feel when they are woken up from deep sleep vs. light sleep vs. REM sleep and incredibly Oura ring accurately picks up all the sleep stages. I also have a Garmin watch as well as a mattress which also track my sleep and my Oura ring is by far most accurate. The coolest thing the Oura ring has done for me was “predict” that I was pregnant with my second child before the pregnancy test showed it. Oura does not claim they are able to do that. I do not think they have done enough testing to be able to make that claim. However, my morning temperature showed a pattern that coincided very clearly with early stages of pregnancy. Oura ring has also picked up on illnesses and overtraining periods when our training has been particularly intense. I love Oura ring so much that I have also gotten Oura rings for my husband and my mother.

Fantastic. Great app and spending 7$ a month is better then the whoop strap monthly payment $40 a month. I feel it should stay cheap otherwise makes no sense to pay to much more. Support is very helpful

Circles feature sucks. Very upset at how bad the “Circles” feature is for comparing your data to friends’ data. This could be improved so easily with better UI - just show the data in a standard bar graph!

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Not even close to accurate. Terrible customer service.. If you use a keyboard all day for work, don’t expect the Oura ring to accurately track your activity. My steps are being doubled every day and the culprit is using the computer for work. Spoke with their customer service rep, Ross, and experienced possibly the worst level of service I have ever come across. First he ignored my questions in my first two emails and simply sent me cut and paste responses from their help Center. Then, after acknowledging that they’re aware of the issue, his solution was for me to take off the ring while I’m working. Not sure what I paid $400 plus an ongoing subscription for if I can’t wear it 8-10 hours per day while working. After I asked for a refund he quickly tried to backtrack and said he would have the product team “look into it”, then he stopped replying to me and is now simply ignoring my emails. Have gone through their website for a refund instead. Will be reverting to an Apple Watch. Better product. Better customer service. More accuracy.

Total waste of money. The ring only helps you when you are healthy. If you have trouble sleeping or have health issues the ring will just not record data for you to review. If it thinks that you are not sleeping it will just not do anything. I have injuries and health problems that make sleeping very difficult and I got the ring to try to solve my insomnia issues. But come to find out it won’t help you with those issues because it can’t. When you reach out to them they will send you a generic article about sleeping and say well if you don’t go to sleep the ring won’t record data. The whole point of the ring was to see that data and try to make changes that will generate better data. Dont bother with this piece of tech, the Apple Watch does far more than this garbage ring. This was a horrible experience and an even worse investment. And the techs could care less about you because you already bought the product.

This app’s readiness score is not looking good. After a week with the Ōura, I'm unfortunately relegating it to the "fun trinket" bin. The app is buggy as heck. On my second day, both entries in the date picker were labeled "Today." Different screens tell me I went to bed at different times for the same night. The silliest bug though is a line chart showing my "readiness" score. The chart shows my most recent score as below average, but the text congratulates me on being above average. If this company can't even figure out which way their inequalities are pointing, why would I trust them with a more complex task like analyzing my sleep? I tried writing support, but they gave a canned "try reinstalling" reply. It might work, but since the install is only a week old, it's pretty bad if it does. My guess, though, is they're just trying to put up a hurdle before spending any time investigating, a hallmark of lower-tier software companies. Wish this thing were better, it sure seems like a promising idea!

Bait & switch, Useless without monthly $$. This is a scam plain and simple. I bought this ring for the health information it provided. Sleep info, body temp, etc now with this asinine monthly fee if I don’t subscribe I can’t get the information I paid $300 for?!? This is a classic bait and switch!!! The ring was great, so great in fact I got one for my wife too. It was nice to see sleep patterns, heart rate and other important health information. But now Oura has made the ring useless unless you pay the monthly fee. Oura does offer meditation and breathing exercises and stuff like that if you pay the monthly fee but thaT IS NOT what I got the ring for. So why should I not have my personal health information b/c you want to offer all these other items? A suggestion to Oura: give us back our health information and charge the people who want to use the other items like meditation and all that jazz that I am not interested in.

Truly a GREAT sleep monitor with Science!. WOW! Been using my Oura ring for 2 months now. This tiny thing is amazing. I was very skeptical at first because I have tried multiple different sleep monitors out there. This one really is the best. I am a Hospital Physcian who is “bio hacking” myself to slow / reverse aging. Sleep is the elusive 4th part of it (along with exercise, eating and mind). This tiny ring is comfortable and packed with amazing sensors and tech. It not only accurately measures sleep time but also the phases of sleep. It is honestly better than many sleep reports I see at professional sleep labs. FYI, I see a lot of patients with sleep apnea and they get sent for sleep studies all the time. However, the true key and benefit I am getting from my own sleep data is not only the quality of sleep, but the Heart Rate Variability. It really is a predictive measure to gage my body and mind. It helps me be more in tune with myself and is predictive of the following few days if I do not take care of myself. Absolutely recommend this to everyone who is wanting to improve the quality of their life. HOWEVER, you want to improve yourselves AND be in tune with your own body to bet full benefits.

Excessively complicated and feature lacking. I bought this to track sleep, which it does well, but there are a lot of flaws. 1) the graphs are excessively complicated ( who uses a stacked bar graph??) and I always feel like I’m being inundated with data.2) it doesn’t do a good job detecting naps and you also can’t edit naps 3) it shows you sleep and movement throughout the night but you can’t drag your finger across the timeline to see at what point in the night you had movement 4) it tends to adjust your sleep score based on length of sleep rather than quality of sleep I.e. I had a night of terrible sleep but because I slept for 8+ hours I had nearly a perfect sleep score. 5) It shows your average blood oxygen throughout the night instead of a bar graph or line graph that shows how it varies throughout the night. I could go on but I won’t - honestly the pillow app is better, much more accurate, and easier to digest

Great, but missing a couple of important things. I’ve had my Oura ring for a few weeks now and it’s really starting to sync with my body! It’s a great product! The best wearable I’ve used so far! My biggest problem though is that it doesn’t seem to recognize certain workouts as well as others. For example, I do a lot of weightlifting and I also teach rowing classes. It measures my heart rate accurately but it doesn’t recognize it as a “workout”. If I go for a 20 minute walk, it will recognize that, but it really only seems to give you “credit” for your activity if your arms are moving in a walking pace. I know I can manually enter a workout myself, but there is no weightlifting option. WHY!!?? I work WAY harder lifting weights than I do going for a walk but there’s no real way to track it. Please take this into consideration next software update!

Oura pros and cons. I’ve been using the Oura ring for about two years now. It’s helped me to monitor my sleeping habits among other areas of my health such as body temperature and readiness levels. Two feedback items that I wish programmers would address; 1- a notification to charge the ring. I’ve encountered numerous instances where the battery shows half charged and then when I’m looking for sleep data the next morning, there isn’t any because there’s no charge. Inevitably the battery life subsides after you’ve had the ring for some time. 2- the Oura seems to count certain activities twice. For ex. when I’m jogging, it will count my steps, and when I log the jog as an activity, it will count it twice, doubling the activity numbers which is not accurate.

Can’t log in...waiting for support 6d & counting. This app worked great for me for several years. I lost the ability to log in a week ago (Dec27). It won’t even open to a login splash screen. Have been waiting for a reply from Support since then. The ring is great. Company processes are not for fulfillment or support. At this point, my ring is nothing more than a ring. Update Jan 2, 2020 - Hey developers, thanks for making a ridiculously obvious suggestion because that’s just what I needed to hear after waiting (now) 7d and counting. Duh. I’ve done that several times per day while I wait for contact from Support. It doesn’t work. Meanwhile, you’re wasting valuable time addressing well-earned criticisms here in reviews rather then focusing on providing actual support or doing dev — because reviews are visible to potential users. And you’re experiencing high support volumes because your app IS NOT working and hasn’t been for at least a week, rendering the ring useless until it once again does.

Love ring, some software bugs. First, I will keep telling people that this ring has changed my ability to track ‘personalized’ goals and succeed! I will also keep referring friends and family because this trumps Apple Watch, or any other wearable if you want detailed data and analytics. Second, the app has had a bug where I don’t have my ‘refer a friend’ link since I’ve had it. I have contacted support, run through the troubleshooting (yes I even the update from this week installed). Eventually support sent me a link to use but trying to get past Finn the AI support bot was almost impossible. This ring is top quality, will last for years and the membership is worth every penny! Thanks devs (but fix the refer a friend link so I can get more people on board)!

1 Star for customer service. Loved my Oura ring so much I opted to upgrade to the Gen 3. I’d love to give a review for the Gen 3 but I cannot get the Firmware to update therefore it is unusable. I’ve tried EVERYTHING suggested on their website and have tried to contact their customer service on 3 different occasions over the past 3 weeks - no response. I’m hoping someone might respond to this review. My next step is to ask for a refund or elevate this complaint. Oura if you are reading this please help, I want to love your product again! UPDATE: 28 days from initial request for help I finally heard back from Oura. Customer Service 101 would have suggested they at least acknowledge their lack of contact. It was apparent that Oura did not bother to ready my email - they provided the same troubleshooting instructions from their website. If their APP has not updated in the past 4 weeks what difference will it make if I continue to try the same troubleshooting instructions?

It counts steps while riding in a car!. Don’t want to be active today but still want credit and keep your step count looking good - just sit ride/drive in car for a few hours. After a 3 hour car ride I was surprised to see I had accumulated 1000s of steps. I wrote to Oura and Trevor replied “We have witnessed a small number of cases involving excess activity reporting. As a workaround to this issue, simply place the ring in your pocket when partaking in activities that involve excess motion, such as motorcycling or mowing the lawn.” I’m sitting in a car! Oura won’t allow the user to edit step count. I can’t adjust any data points to account for this. Oura is building algorithms off of junk data and they don’t care to allow the user to help correct the flawed data. And. I tried the pocket and it doesn’t solve the problem, it just counts a few less steps at a lower intensity. Something tells me this canned reply isn’t limited to “a small number of cases” only involving excessive motion.

Used to be a great product and app. Oura used to be a great product. After the latest update the app no longer tracks outdoor activity. It recognizes that it happens but what used to be automatic as recently as 5 days ago no longer works and I’m getting instructions that are basic from support effectively blaming me as the customer for why it isn’t working. I have been using the Oura for almost 4 years and I know how it works and all the tricks to try when it isn’t working. The latest app update broke it and previous app updates have made the heart rate monitoring less stable. It is still decent for sleep monitoring but I don’t think it is worth it as an overall tracker any longer. The latest update is that even though it appeared with the last update engineering can’t do anything about it. This gets worse with every update.

Health for my family. I’ve worn an Oura ring from the very beginning. Within a year my husband and children were also wearing Ouras. During Covid we took part in a study through UCSF which looked at the ring predicting Covid. As the science has improved we’ve updated our rings and actually follow each others health through Circles. The information this wearable technology has provided me and my family is invaluable. From HRV to oxygenation to time asleep, deep and REM, temperature and so much more. It slaves seamlessly to my Apple Watch and allows you to add tags about your health to personalize your experience. A great help to me has been learning about how alcohol or eating to close to bedtime and my circadian rhythm affects the quality of my sleep. Honestly I think everyone should wear one.

Great Ring and Customer Service. Originally gave this 5 stars. I have had my ring for 2 1/2 years. During that time it has given my invaluable data. I have had sleep issues and having the data gives me the opportunity to show the doctor exactly what is going on. It also helps me tweak what helps and what hurts my sleep (alcohol, desserts 😢). I did have my first ring stop holding a charge after about a year, but the company was able to troubleshoot it on their end and sent me a new ring, no problem. Now my ring is starting to lose its charge again, so I was thinking of getting a new Gen 3 ring, because I have enjoyed having the ring so much. HOWEVER, just found out that they are requiring a $5.99 membership per month to get all the data with the Gen 3 ring. That’s an additional $72 a year! That’s not going to fly with me. Going have to find an alternative.

Love it paired with Natural Cycles. I got the Oura ring to pair with the Natural Cycles app for hormone free birth control and am absolutely loving it. It seems so rare that a tech device works completely seamlessly but I have been very surprised at the fact that there was been no glitch. Each day my Oura app automatically syncs with my Natural Cycles app and I get insightful, helpful, and most importantly accurate information about my cycle without having to do or remember a single thing. Very grateful for this integration. Additionally, I am really enjoying learning more about what kinds of activities provide restorative time. I held of buying this for a long time because I did not think the information was really worth the price, but I definitely have been proven wrong and love the flawless app and functional ring.

Can’t tell when I’m asleep. I purchased this device hoping to better understand my sleep cycle and improve my sleep. Even though it fits well and has good data capture, it consistently fails to detect that I am awake when it thinks I’m asleep. It takes me at least 30 minutes to fall asleep, and it doesn’t even recognize I’m in bed trying to fall asleep for the first 10 minutes, then reports I fell asleep in less than 5 minutes! Oh I wish! I wake up several times during the night and it thinks I’m in light or deep sleep - even for up to 2 hours at a time. I’ve even gone to the bathroom at night and it didn’t think I woke up at all. I don’t move around much while sleeping, and it’s correct about that. It’s also inaccurate with reporting I’m napping while I’m standing up reading on my phone or sitting reading at my desk. I wish I could give it feedback and it could learn my signals so it would be more accurate. The exercise data seems accurate, but sleep and readiness are highly inaccurate for me.

Scam product/Company. Update: Without a subscription you get 3 scores and that’s it. You pay over $300 and then have to pay $5+taxes/month or you get useless information. After a recent update my battery wouldn’t last more than a day and a half. I couldn’t figure out why and in researching, found many others were having the same issue. You cannot opt out of allowing your ring data being used by the Oura company and whoever they share it with. I knew this so I never allowed my location to be used. After the update, it was turned on without my knowledge. I turned it off in the app then went into the settings on my iPhone and blocked it there too. Now my ring stays charged longer, but not as long as when I first got it. (Gen 3) I also cut off the subscription. This company’s behavior is too red flag-ish for me. Further, I get more info from my smart watch than this and I don’t pay any monthly fees and, I get to maintain my privacy.

Everyone Should Have One. As someone who is into health and fitness I have purchased many health gadgets. 8 sleep, Ooler, Apple Watch, Whoop, Muse. Oura is by far the most informative of all of them. As an early adopter I have also seen the company grow and Oura provide more health metrics. Every new feature is a new insight into how my body is performing. When my ring has malfunctioned or no longer holds a charge their customer service immediately addresses and a new ring is shipped within days. I have been so impressed that I have purchased Oura rings for all my employees along with my parents and siblings. If you are wanting to see how your body is performing at rest don’t waste your time on any other device. Do yourself a favor and buy an Oura ring.

From Skeptic to Huge Believer. I’ve never worn a ring before so I was hesitant to wear/buy. How could this little device provide me any insight that my other wearables don’t? The accuracy is unprecedented and the minimalistic form factor is amazing. It’s completely unobtrusive to my daily activities and provides a wealth of health data that I couldn’t imagine or get from another wearable. The sleep algorithm is just phenomenal, and the granular details Oura provides in the app across sleep, readiness, activity, scores, and health trends is just mind boggling. Oura provides so much more detail into your physiology than the “3” scores everyone is familiar with. Oura integrates and is able to draw data (if you give it permission) from your other wearables which provides a near 360° view of your overall health and wellness. I cannot recommend this product enough. If you’ve never been a ring guy (like me) and we’re hesitant because of that aspect - I can assure you that this little device that fits around your finger is so worth the time it takes to get used to the fact that you’ve become a ring person that you’ll never want to take it off.

Terrible customer service, crap app. Update: Still no response from Oura customer service. I have decided not to upgrade to Oura 3. Its sleep stats have always been pretty inaccurate anyway, why should I reward such a terrible company with my money? And the app has gotten even worse recently. Inaccurate sleep tracking aside, I have always been able to import (before midnight) exercise data from Apple Watch into the Oura app without any problem. Today this import function suddenly stopped working. Even though I have imported 400 calories of (afternoon) exercise into the Oura app, it said I only did 160 calories of exercise. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't also tracking my data with a spreadsheet. What a piece of crap! Terrible sleep tracking, inability to record exercise after midnight, no longer functional (before-midnight) Apple Watch exercise imports, literally zero customer support, greedy subscription bait-and-switch... I hope Oura goes bankrupt very soon. Can't wait to see a better, ethical company kill it off. Sort the App Store reviews by "recent" to see for yourself what the truth is. ps. Oura, no need to tell me to contact your customer service, because it doesn't exist. Original review from November 2021: Emailed them a simple question and still no response after almost 2 weeks. And they want people to start paying them a subscription fee for simple, basic features that have always came included with the ring lol

What a Mess. Putting the company’s history aside, I’ll focus on the app. Painful is the only word I can use. When it works, it works well. When it decides it’s not going to work any more, it’s a colossal pain to get things fixed. Symptoms: Tap on the app to open, and it immediately exits (I presume it’s crashing…as not even a splash screen shows.). The only recourse at this point is to remove the app and then reinstall. Then it’s necessary to enter your email address again, then log in, and then PRAY that the app will find the ring that’s been working for months…notwithstanding the last time it forced you to go through this process. Then, once it finds the ring it leads you through a series of questions for which it should already have answers. (It knows the ring’s serial number, and knows it’s registered to you—why is it necessary to go through the list of questions again?!) The comes the synchronization. It usually works, but not always. The symptom of “not always” is akin to the spinning beach ball on a mac, or rotating circles in Windows. All you can do is wait…and wait…and then…nothing. Sadly, this is not a rare occurrence. I’ve had this happen five times this year—across two different iPhones. I do not have problems with other apps. Having to go through this nonsense, particularly when it ties to poor error handling within their app, is nuts.

Could use a UI/UX Expert. The app overall works well, so my lower rating isn’t due to any app errors like bugs or crashing. However, I find the app to not be intuitive. I find it confusing to find the information I’m looking for. I also found it confusing how some items wouldn’t show up until after a certain period of time when you first got the ring. But it’s not consistent because, for example, you can see the cycle data but it will say “# more nights still needed.” Even though I have access to the items now (I think—I’m not completely confident in this) the items seem to kind-of pop up on the main menu but then sometimes not. And then I feel like I have to tap around manically to try to find what I’m looking for. Lastly, the data in the charts are frustrating to me when I can’t see the specific numbers for the data points. For most charts, it’s just an image with the x and y axis labeled and a chart illustration of the data. What would make the app better for me: - an easily comprehensible library of the data I can access (and please no chunking items by category unless the categories are confirmed to be intuitive) - showing all the data available at once, even if you have to add the “# more nights/days needed” label - adding the ability to see the specific data for all the charts.

Life changing product!. I’ve been a customer since the generation 1 ring. The amount I’ve learned through the use of this ring has been incredible, along with the accountability it creates to make changes in life. Looking at my data over the past 6 years is fascinating, I have no idea how I was coping with my poor sleep quality before purchasing this ring and enacting changes in my life based on the feedback. I just want to thank the ŌURA team for making such an incredible product, and for their excellent customer service over the years. I am a bit confused by some of the reviews mentioning bad customer service because they’ve always been incredibly responsive to me and have replaced 3 rings for me in the past through warranty, in a very quick and no cost manner. Thank you team ŌURA!

I like for the most part... I forget how long the "trial period" is, but I got the ring originally because I thought I may be having heart problems and this could help me monitor without having to wear a watch. I do like seeing how much I slept each night too, to plan for the next day and whether I need to squeeze in a nap or not. My trial period ended not too long ago though, and I haven't made any changes but I've noticed before the ring would last about a week or so without having to charge. Then I chose not to pay the monthly subscription at the end of the trial period to have the "extra stuff", and it seems that now my battery lasts about two days at a time.... 🤔 At this rate I don't really see the point in even keeping the ring, if I have to pay monthly to not have it die every two days, when I'm used to it lasting about a week...

Stop the updates. I purchased this when it first came out and loved it. The first update created battery issues so they replaced it for me. Then another update created connectivity problems, again they replaced it for me. Now the last update has the battery lasting less than 2 days, and the sleep as well as activity measurements are no longer accurate. I find it reading that I’m asleep when I’m lying down reading, or stating that no calories were burned while I’m walking. After reading all the issues with newer generations and the required subscription for getting all the information I don’t even think it’s worth getting a new one. I’m really disappointed in the direction they have pushed this product. I realize more data tracked means you are getting better quality health information but if it isn’t all working as it should be, don’t release it. It’s really frustrating that it’s no longer useful.

Buyer’s remorse. 1.5 years into owning a Gen 3 ring. I used to love this thing, and told everyone about it. I was a huge advocate for the Oura brand. Recently, though, the updates to the ring software crush battery life. I can get maximum 2 normal nights on a charge. If I get 6ish hours of sleep per night, maybe that extends to 3 nights on a charge *just barely*. By the way, Oura will tell you that “normal” is 2 nights on a charge, or better. I used to get 4-5 easily before the latest firmware update. What’s worse, in my back-and-forths with Support, they blame me. They tell me that various features of the ring consume more battery life, and that a longer night of sleep can also consume more battery life. Meanwhile, I’ve done absolutely 0 to change my habits with the ring other than update to the latest firmware. I’m incredibly disappointed that there’s been no acknowledgment or help to remediate these issues. I’ll be moving on from my Oura when this current billing cycle concludes.

Great for a healthy, able bodied person, not flexible enough for everyone. There isn’t anything better, so this is more an ask for good to be better. The metrics are set for healthy person, and if you aren’t, there is very little scaffolding to help get you there (or as close as your body can get) Take the meal tracking in labs- it’s great if you stick to your meal times, but once you miss a few times, there’s no feedback to get you on track, it just tells you you’re wrong. Another big one is activity. I’m never (or not for a long time) going to meet it’s goals for METs given my physical limitations, so I just watch the score tank over time without much encouragement to do what I can and slowly work up. The last is sleep, which is great over all, but I’m always going to have a break in the middle of the night because of a med I take 2-4 hours after falling asleep. So my sleep score will have a natural ceiling, because it isn’t quite smart enough to take into account that is normal (ideal, because I need that med) for me. Overall it’s a great app for a generally healthy person to get healthier, but it has a lot of blind spots for a chronically ill person, and given the lasting impacts of COVID, that population is an ever growing one.

This is it? And they want a subscription?! Nah son.. Putting aside the poor connectivity of the device (two days owned), the app is surprisingly limited for being the “established” and longest existing ring wearable on the market. /—-Deets—-/ The only widget the app offers are on sleep. Making it so that I have to UNLOCK my phone, FIND the app, then DIG out stats from their SUB-menus. If mental wellness really is a goal, they’d offer us the ability to not have to engage with our phones beyond a glance. The app’s landing page is filled with irrelevant how-to’s that CANNOT be swiped away or closed. Worse is that you can’t even organize the position of tiles, or place stats from sub menus on the home page. Upon set up, I’m asked the “gender I was born as”, but still pushed female centric features. This isn’t some anti-female comment, this is coming from myself as a developer. If you’ve gathered information about me upon set up, why not use that to suppress irrelevant features? Best I can tell, it’s throwing every content tile they have available, attaching a “soothing” banner and fluff content just to present itself as a completed/feature-rich app. Ultimately, I’m likely returning and canceling plans to buy one for my partner and mom. The device’s connection issues and the app’s lack of growth (which I’d be paying for yearly?!) only make the case to keep on keeping with a watch. Or until Apple releases their own non-watch wearable or I leap back to Samsung.

“What gets measured, gets improved.”. This app and product rocks! Been using the Oura ring for 3 years now. The ring is incredibly durable and it’s low enough profile for me to not even notice I’m wearing it. Also the support team is amazing. My ring battery ran down after about a year and a half and they sent me a brand new one with speedy response and great customer service. I also host a health, fitness and wellness podcast and I recommend my listeners get the Oura ring on almost every other episode, I’m even wearing the ring front and center in my podcast cover photo (Livin’ the Dream Podcast). The app stores all the years worth of data and gives you trends of your activity, sleep, recovery, etc.. can’t speak highly enough of team Oura! 💯

problems w/ a. All I. asked Oura (but please no AI) if anyone from oura please call me or reach out to me and help me, bc I genuinely rely on Oura for seizures that had decreased immensely but I stop for lat two weeks bc the battery wouldn’t hold. I can honestly say the oura ring since it was introduced to me with noom has beyond weight loss for me with its heart rate variations, sleep data and much more. I am aware it helps many other too, but that gran mal are extremely card to predict the best you ate the markets that according to what I learned from the first oura . Unfortunately your AI want alll your verification which I try but I am not getting any where. I love. the Ouara for the peace of mind it brings people like me when we you need a suuport system to help with that issues arrive with the oura ring,bc many people like myselI rely on the Oura for my life. I get seizures this Friday and I wasn’t wearing the ring due to battery charges probably. Please help loyal original tester from the beginning win , on second our ring.

App still broken. EDIT: Thanks developer for the response but you’re a couple months too late. Glad someone is taking action all the same. Back in December I finally got a response from the warranty department after I threatened to take action through my state attorney general, and successfully returned my ring for a refund. Just checked the app and seems to be working now even though I no longer have the ring and have deleted my account. Leaving my review below the same because it was such a miserable support experience that took months to resolve. App crashes instantly on open. iOS 16, iPhone 13 Pro, now version 4.7.9 of app. Can’t use ring without app. “Support” has been beyond useless. Unfortunately, if you’re reading this it’s probably too late; you likely already blew 400 bucks on the ring. Hopefully you can get your money back, because I sure can’t! This is among the most miserable customer service experiences I’ve had in my entire life. I wish I could rate this 0 stars.

Oura ring CAN NOT figure out iPhone updates or new iPhone!. Every time you update your iPhone OR get a new iPhone it is a TOTAL NIGHTMARE with your Oura ring. I’ve gone through this ordeal TWICE now and it’s exactly the same thing whether updating my iPhone or trying to get the ring to connect with a new iPhone. I’ve deleted the App and re-installed it; turned off the phone and turned it back on; turned off BlueTooth and turned it back on; gone through the entire Factory Reset process; banged the ring on the counter while in the charging port (as described by Oura Customer Service Rep), etc etc etc!!! Although the Customer Service Rep was very patient, after about 15-20 emails back and forth trouble-shooting I was about to call it QUITS with Oura. SOOOOOOOOO frustrating!!! I FINALLY got the ring to collect data again after my last iPhone software update but now with a brand new iPhone here we go again!! It shouldn’t be this hard!

Meh.. I switched from FitBit to Oura about a year ago. After +-1 year, my Oura has to be charged every 3 days. It lasted 7 days for the first few months and quickly faded. I don’t expect it to last much longer. I’ll probably go back to FitBit soon. I got much better insights from my Fitbit, though it was too bulky and intrusive for my taste (my reason for the switch). I’d recommend the Oura if all you’re concerned with is sleep analysis. But everything else is subpar compared to FitBit. You can’t get real-time anything from Oura. You have to stop and take a “moment” to get any real-time data. My last FitBit basically told me I was pregnant before a pregnancy test came up positive (4 years ago). I can’t even track my cycle with the Oura. And now that they’ve jumped on the subscription bandwagon…im completely over it. I spent $300 on this ring…my FitBit was 1/3 the price and lasted 3+ times longer with better insights. my final thoughts, Oura is not worth it if you want to keep track of your stats.

A lot of bugs. Sleep tracking has so many bugs! Initially I was excited to get this ring as a gift and it seemed like a good idea to have more data on my wellness. As a new mom my sleep pattern is slightly different and need help tracking how much rest and recovery time I was getting. It does not track sleep well if you are not sleeping 6 hours at a stretch. Everything is a nap in the app and there is no detail on sleep quality in a nap. Even when I have slept through the night it only catches a few hours of initial sleep with data missing frequently. Every other day even if you wear the ring correctly overnight you get no data quoting ‘seems like you forgot to wear the ring’! Don’t need faulty data in an already sleep deprived world. Save your money for Apple Watch or other better health monitoring gadgets.

Horrible. After wasting at least an hour of my life trying to setup my new ring, i’m calling it. I’m returning my Ours ring and probably move on to a better product, like the Whoop band or something else. I’ve tried contacting this company about assisting me, i’ve tried using this virtual chat, to no avail. Even if i were to get it setup, theres no way I could feel confident in using this product with the troubles i’ve experienced while attempting to set it up. When i try and set it up on my computer, the website wont verify my address, and i’ve tried on multiple computers, in multiple locations. And its not like i’m in the middle of nowhere, i live in a very big city. Then when i try and set it up on my phone, I get to what i think is the very end to submi payment and that circle just keeps spinning and the page stays still with no further action. nothing happens, its like this site is stuck in a processing payment limbo for eternity and dragging me along with it. Goodbye oura, you blow.

Not worth it for athletes. I had high hopes, but it has become more a part of my wardrobe than my training. You could definitely find a cheaper ring with the same looks. Due to its lack of customization, I’m not sure it has a use. As someone that does moderate intensity cardio for at least 7-10 hours a week, strength training for 7-10 hours/week, and about 3 hours a week of cardio, I require very specific customization. The system sometimes tells me I need to lay low and burn only 250 calories on a day where I have a 20 mile run planned, which I’ve trained and slept and eaten to be ready for. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours, which the system thinks is abhorrently low. Yet if I get the amount of sleep it recommends, I feel groggy and crappy and it effects my training, meditation and stress levels. When/if they begin to allow for customizable settings, this could be really cool. Until then it’s more templatized than the US public school system, ie not very useful.

Amazing product with one small feature request. Amazing product, it’s worked flawlessly for me for the last fee years. Love the form factor since I can wear my ring and use my Apple Watch simultaneously. I am a medical student and use it to track my sleep and activity to make sure I stay active and take care of myself. Highly recommended for anyone looking to improve sleep and overall performance as you can see what’s working for you and what’s not. One suggestion for the oura team: make the battery notification appear a few hours before bed, or better yet let me customize when I get the notification. I have do not disturb turn on at 9pm and the notification to charge my ring doesn’t come, so I’ve been left without my daily readiness score quite a few times.

I love love love love this ring. Did I tell you I love it?. My husband passed away a little over a year ago and my sleep has been very sporadic. I often have insomnia. I am trying very hard to get back into a healthy sleep pattern. I have taken over his company and travel a week - 10 days out of the month in different time zones. That, coupled with grief hasn’t been helpful for sleep. The Oura rings helps me to understand my sleep patterns. The first thing I do is check my sleep in the am. I’m still not falling asleep when I should every night, but I am making a point to get at least 7 hours sleep. I love how it tells me about rem sleep and deep sleep and how many calories I burn during the day. It truly makes me more mindful. I even add my meditations in and I can see how my breath slows and my heart beat slow. Just an all around game changer.

Female Heath. I got the ring to compliment my Garmin Watch which I use for training, but to give me more information about my body temperature as I navigate pregnancy. I was really disappointed when I went to log a pregnancy and track my body temperature to find out that there was no setting to do this and I just felt completely ignored as a woman. My body was going through all these changes (as well as a loss), I was exhausted and although this was reflected in my readiness, I would have appreciated something that acknowledged I was pregnant. I see you are now partnering with Natural Cycles so hopefully more information, but this comes with ANOTHER subscription of $99 (after a free trail). I spent $300 on the ring, a $7 a month subscription all to be told you can’t tell me the basic biological information as a female and instead have to be directed and pay for another app. Just disappointed all around, clearly your female clients aren’t a priority.

Fantastic Health Monitor: Needs Customization. This is a really great product, and it allows users to stay on top of their activity, sleep, stress and now aspects of heart health. Please use AI to provide more insights around my data to guide me to better sleep and health longevity. (Ex) “Did you know, when you fall asleep during your recommended bedtime window that you typically experience 20% more deep sleep”. We also need ability to customize the home screen “Today Screen” to select which data shows. For example let me hide cards about stress management, “Pin” readiness or sleep to the top of the screen or etc. Add workout programs to the explore tab to improve VO2 Max such as HIT training. Scan for AFIB in the background like the Apple Watch.

Bad at recording sleep. The app is getting so much worse. My sleep score for the last few months has shown two totally different measurements for deep sleep and REM sleep due to the new algorithm (only available to 3rd generation rings). The numbers shown up top will usually be twice as high as the “newer” measurements below. So I’ll get a good sleep score saying I got 2.5 hours of deep sleep but then I scroll down and it tell me I only got 1.25 hrs. So what number do I believe??? if the new algorithm is better, then I have I just been getting a lot more sleep than I think I have for the last three years I’ve had oura ring? Was their algo before that insanely inaccurate? Then the other issue is it missing recording a lot of my sleep. Half the time if I wake up for a little during the night and fall back asleep, it will never record the second half of my sleep (even if it’s hours long) and it also miss half of my naps.

Membership vs Not. When I first got my Oura Ring I was beyond ecstatic about it. I loved the way it looked and more importantly started becoming obsessed with the data. Friends would ask me do you like your Oura ring and my response was yes, but ask me in a month, I want to see what the value is without the membership. After pausing my subscription to see what the difference is, I’m confidently able to say to people, if you feel confident you want to spend money on the subscription, then this is for you otherwise don’t spend your money here. I’m surprised that Oura thinks the best model is only the 3 basic scores without a subscription. In principle, the subscription is less than $100 / yr but we are now in an age where companies believe that we have to scrape every last dollar from the consumer. I’d love to be an ambassador for Oura but given you only get the 3 basic scores without a subscription, I simply can’t. It’s too bare bones and makes you feel as if the organization is just money hungry.

Love it but one flaw. I love my Oura ring and originally bought it to track my workouts, but the one major flaw that I really dislike that it only lets you “record workout HR” for outdoor/indoor running, outdoor/indoor cycling, and walking. What about all of the other workout options? The only way to add a different type of workout, such as strength training, barre, etc. Is by adding it after the fact. It’s not constantly recording the HR like it would be if you selected the “record workout HR” option. I wanted this ring to replace my Apple watch, but this is a huge turn off. On my watch, I can select my exact type of workout and it will constantly track HR until you end the workout. That isn’t possible for a majority of workouts on the Oura ring. I really hope this changes in a future app update! 🤞😭

I depend on this ring. I have owned my Oura ring for about a year now. The information it gives and reads as it analysis your sleep is incredible. Recently my husband got Covid and exposed my daughter to it. For 4 days I was fine showing no symptoms of having the virus. On the 5th day, my readings from Oura started to show that my temperature was elevated and my HRV balance was off as well as my resting heart rate was up. It continued to show negative reads, and on the 7th day I got tested and was positive. I told the doctor that my ring as well as the obvious of feeling horrible on that 5th day that prompted me to go get tested. The doctor said my heart rate was elevated because it’s working hard because my body is fighting the virus, and I told her yes I know because my ring alerted me. This ring could actually save your life!

now does not sync or connect to my iPhone. I initially was excited about this product, as I was trying to improve my sleep. In the beginning, my ring would randomly disconnect from my iPhone, even though I have full charge, and now I can’t even connect. I’ve tried the troubleshooting steps, I’ve tried contact customer support, and the responses have been poor, not helpful, and also takes way too long. For a $300 ring, that is inexcusable. In spite of this, I have asked and pleaded with the Oura support team to at least send me a replacement ring, showing evidence of the disconnect, and following and confirming their steps. THERE IS NOTHING PHYSICALLY WRONG WITH MY RING. The app and the ring simply REFUSE to connect and the data is not in sync. Now, the support team is not allowing me to return the ring or receive a replacement ring. I am not being unreasonable and am pleading, please resolve this situation by providing a new ring, or allowing me to return this ring for a refund. I work hard for the products I buy, and this is not fair treatment.

Latest update broke my ring :(. My ring and app were working perfectly, until less than two weeks ago. I loved being able to see the variables indicating when my body was more stressed than normal. As someone with chronic health issues, catching a problem while it is small is a big deal and helps me avoid bigger problems. Two weeks ago though, I could no longer edit my sleep data, even within the three day limit. The sliders show, but are grayed out. I updated my app thinking it would help. After the update, my ring no longer syncs at all until it is on the charger. Once I put it on the charger, no sleep data syncs though some daily data is recorded. Then, the battery charge drops to zero despite previously having 40-60%. It makes no sense. I would have assumed it was a battery issue, except it was fine until the update. Regardless, the ring is useless if it doesn’t record the sleep data.

Best purchase of 2023. Of all the investments i’ve made in my health this year, my Oura ring is by far the best one. I’d wanted one for a little over a year, and really established a routine this year so I decided I’d earned the splurge and if I didn’t like it in the first few weeks it’s returnable within 30 days. Not once did returning my Oura cross my mind. Waking up and looking at my sleep stats and readiness makes me excited to get out of bed each morning, and monitoring my days activity allows me to make smart choices in my body autonomy. Thank you Oura for the tool to connect so expertly to my body. I’m so grateful for this science and it’s accessibility to college students like myself. I would recommend investing in an Oura ring any day if you want accurate, timely, and encouraging statistics about your body.

So hard to navigate!. To view all of my trends, I have to into each category. For example, to look at my sleep trends, I have to pick 1 of 10 trends and view them day week month or year. After 40 taps, I’ve looked at all of my sleep trends and don’t know what to do with it. You could show one chart with checkboxes to hide and show a select number of data points to see everything at once. I feel like I am the product. I’m giving you all of my tags and I don’t get any insights from it. I can tag the same thing from a week and there aren’t any insights like “your sleep has decreased this week because like you tagged the same thing every night this week.” Or “you’ve tagged this thing 30 times this month, we have noticed your activity is lower” Also, so many things are on top and out of the thumb region. Everything requires multiple taps.

Just a ring without the subscription. I was given this ring as a gift. You get a free month’s subscription. Even with that data, it is not as useful as an Apple Watch. It provides much less data, and is just generally less valuable than a smart watch. I suppose its appeal is that is less bulky than a watch, but a car is bulkier than a bicycle so it’s comparing apples to orange peels I suppose. Without the subscription, the ring is useless. You get three or four scores that tell you how well you slept, how active you should feel and how ready you should be to feel that active. No other metrics are provided, such as how long you slept, how well, etc. All of the other data, like heart rate, stress levels, etc disappears without a subscription. It’s a good looking ring that glows occasionally at this point. I will continue to wear it because it replaced a lost wedding ring, but doubt I’ll even ever charge it again. Basically, it’s of no value other than being a ring and of course you can get a metal ring for like $10 elsewhere.
