Setbacks Of SnoreLab
- SnoreLab isn’t suitable if there are two people who snore in a room as it’d mix up the audio recording leading to incorrect analysis.
- SnoreLab gives a snore score according to the sample recordings of your snores. But, the score is a numerical value that doesn’t really give out the clear reason based on which the score was given.
- The free version is good for beginners and can be used without hindrance. But, it’s not adept for long time use as there’s no history being recorded to compare your progress. So, upgrading to the paid version becomes a necessity for better results.
