oScar app

Post by Sl33pD3priv3d! » Fri Jan 20, 2023 2:20 pm

Hello there
I’m still getting used to the machine I got 2 months ago. I’m also waiting for the bleep to arrive after trying a nasal mask and currently using the nasal pillows.

I’ve been seeing that The Oscar app helps track our sleep. I downloaded the Oscar app a couple weeks ago to find out that it was the wrong one. I found the correct one last night And began registering and in the final and third step it was asking for a credit card for verification. Is this legit is it supposed to be required in order to register and access the free app? Thanks.

My initial post was too lengthy and I didn’t get too many responses so I will try to post according my questions separately by topic.

There is no OSCAR "app", it's a *PROGRAM* that you load on your COMPUTER.

OK pardon me -the program. My question wasn’t answered—So is it required to put our credit card information in order to complete the registration that just seems odd.

No you likely downloaded the wrong thing. Definitely doesn’t need a credit card.

You can get it here: https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

I thought it was clear in my post that YOU HAVE THE WRONG WHATEVER.

OSCAR is FREE

Nor does OSCAR want you to register.

There is an Oscar Health App in the Apple store, but that is not the one you want.

The real OSCAR is at https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/ and is completely free. No credit card, no registration. But it only works on a "real" computer, not a phone or tablet.
* Download Oscar
* Oscar help
* An alternative to Oscar - try SleepHQ
