ibis Sleep Art - App Review

¨

My graphic and drawing skills are non-existent, so it is pleasing to find an App that will allow anyone (yes, even me) to be creative. The unusual part is that not only do you not have a clue what you are going to produce (is that the case for all truly 'creative' types), but also that you will be doing it in your sleep. Intrigued? Then, read on.
Now for the ACIDS test:

Aesthetics
The App starts with the alarm you need to set. This is very straightforward, although it uses some fairly idiosyncratic knobs to set the time. All you need to do after this is plug your device into a charger and place it in your bed.
The App uses your iPhone's microphone and accelerometer to record your noises and movement and translate into your very own work of art.

Cost
The App is free and provided by the Ibis hotel chain, who have nonintrusive name placement on one page.

Indispensability
If this is the killer App you have been waiting for then, congratulations, you have found it. For the rest of us it is a great bit of fun.

Dependability
The App works but, there is no control on the output... which is the way it was designed.

Security
The risk is not in the App but in not damaging your phone during your sleep... especially by it getting dropped on a hard floor.

ACIDS Test Rating:
You could be a great artist.
