App with critical system glitch and poor customer service
Since June 7th (and after stupid update), I could not login to my account using my email address with stupid error message of “Provider country is not supported”. When I contacted customer service through email, two representatives (Anna, Dylan) asked me if I was outside of the US (which I never did), if I bought phone from other countries (my phone is from US), and if US is my primary location (which is the case). They asked me to send screenshots (which I did). They said once I am able to login, I should be able to see my accumulated point. They said they will look into this issue further and get back to me.
Now, it has been almost 10 days and no single follow up. I am super upset to lose 7000 points I have accumulated prior to June 7th. Most importantly, I am super disappointed of the poor customer service without proper resolution.
By the way, for people who have similar issue like I am, try to login using new email (different from your initial email used for Colgate account). Since I was sick of this waiting game, I tried today and I could login to app. Also, it uploaded some offline brushings (Sadly, no point show up prior to June 7th).Excellent app with a few hiccups
I really love the app and toothbrush! There are a few nitpicky things that bother me. One is it seems to say “tilt your brush” for both horizontal and vertical changes. It would make more sense to say “turn” for horizontal changes and “tilt” for vertical changes. Or perhaps it is just overly sensitive to tilt changes in my small mouth. I wish the insights average changed month to month. I stopped using this brush for a few months and now it thinks my average is 0.1 times… I actually delete and set up a new account because it really bothered me. Along the same lines, I wish you could log brushing without the brush. For example, I ran out of batteries and had to use it without recording. I wouldn’t expect to get points for that, but I would like to be able to record it. The Apple watch app has only ever worked once. It has crashed since no matter how many times I reinstall. It bothers me that you have to spend $20 to get free shipping. It almost makes the points useless. I really wish I could set up a subscription for my brush heads. I wish there was a larger brush head option.Developer Response
We’ll share your insights with our team.Guided brushing is the most helpful part
So far, after about a month, the Guided Brushing portion of the app has been most useful/fun for me. App seems easy to navigate (although the Pirate game seems to be too much effort—but I could see where it has a sort of “video game” aspect that could be a draw for some). I haven’t used any points yet, but seems to be a good way to earn replacement heads. I had my biannual dental cleaning just the other day, and was told everything looked great. The dentist checked me with his loupes before the hygienist completed the formal cleaning and “scraping,” per se. She had said that I was doing such a good job with such minimal plaque, she could’ve told him that she had already performed the cleaning, and he likely would’ve believed it. I generally get “good marks” at my q 6 month dental visits, but the superlatives seemed especially high this time around. Seems this could have been due to the Hum brush and guided brushing. However, although I consistently get 100% coverage each time I brush, I never got better than 20-50% correct angle—and that’s in only one or two sections. Seems off since otherwise by “objective” measure I’ve been doing so well. So, I’m not sure that the angle rating is exactly right, who knows? That’s why I subtracted one star as of now.Developer Response
hum says, you think your dental visit was great now, wait till you master the 45 degree angle. They will want to hire you as a smile rep! 💖😄
