Recording

It did not record last night

Recording starts when your phone is still, inside your sleep window, so check that the window in Settings covers your actual bedtime and that the phone was left alone rather than picked up. The microphone permission must be granted, and on Android battery optimisation has to be disabled for Snoaring or the system will stop the background service while you sleep.

It stopped partway through the night

This is almost always the operating system reclaiming memory or applying battery restrictions. Exempt Snoaring from battery optimisation, and keep the phone plugged in overnight if the problem persists.

Detection

It missed snoring I know happened

An episode needs several bursts arriving with the rhythm of breathing, so a few isolated snorts may not qualify. If the phone is far from the bed, move it closer — snoring is mostly low-frequency and loses energy across a room. You can also raise sensitivity in Settings.

It logged something that was not snoring

Lower the sensitivity in Settings. Detection deliberately ignores steady noise like a fan by treating it as the room's background, but an unusual repeated sound can still get through.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Detection runs entirely on your device. A connection is only needed for the morning analysis.
