My Braun IPL has worked very well for me and has done exactly what it was supposed to do (minimize the amount of hair on my body). I have been in maintenance mode for months, but now I am unable to continue my maintenance treatments because the most recent app update has complete reset my data. When I opened the app after this most recent update, the app made me re-sign in and then re-pair my Braun device. While it is lovely that I can now enter my height and weight, that really does not matter because my existing plan and all of my progress are GONE. It appears that the only recourse I have would be to start all over again which I am not about to do. I really do love how well my Braun IPL has worked for me, and I saw merit in continuing my monthly maintenance treatments, but I am not about to spend a few hours every week for 2 months (or more) to get this app back to monthly maintenance treatments. Not only does it feel like a complete waste of my time, but also I doubt that would be healthy for my body to go through all of that again when a vast majority of my body hair follicles have already been damaged by the process the first time through. Thus, Braun’s “new and improved” app has rendered my expensive Braun device useless. And, I am guessing that without those monthly maintenance doses, my body hair will slowly return. It is extremely disappointing that Braun’s app developers have done such a poor job with this most recent update. I am also guessing that I am not the only customer who is experiencing this massive problem. Perhaps the most infuriating part is that I can see no way for Braun to fix this because the data is clearly gone. At this point, I am now left with a VERY expensive paper weight and will likely need to look to a Braun competitor to keep my body as hair free as possible.
