### 3/5 — Light settings need more control

*2026-08-28, version 1.12.4*

Dim is not dim enough. Discrete turns it completely off. Would be nice to have a slider like 0-10.

### 4/5 — Love my wave

*2026-08-23, version 1.12.4*

I love my embr wave and what it does so so much it’s helped with hot flashes and super chilly days and all around just a perfect thing. What I don’t love is the app keeps having me reset my wave 1 million times and every time I open the app. It has me reset my wave and it’s very frustrating and I don’t know what to do and I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app and I don’t know how to fix it because I want to keep my schedules.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2026-08-20, version 1.12.4*

Love it it helps with my hot flashes

### 1/5 — App is a joke device is debatable

*2026-07-19, version 1.12.4*

Manly use this to help with anxiety…so the app always having trouble connecting to the device literally every time I open it is ironic only because it’s so far from helpful. My stress makes me burn up which when I’m warm like that, I frequently question if it’s even on. I feel so bad for anyone using it for hot flashes or other burning moments. It’s a joke. This thing only helps as preemptive. If I know I’m about to do something stressful and turn it on it sorta helps. Only thing it’s been reliable with is helping me fall asleep and making highs a little more relaxing. So yeah. If you’re only a little anxious and you never burn up than maybe this thing is sorta good.

### 3/5 — Great, but….

*2026-07-07, version 1.12.4*

The app is great BUT it would be so much better on the Apple Watch. I need the hot flash treatment but cannot access it without my phone. That’s super inconvenient. Add that and a Home Screen widget for favorite treatments and it’s a 5 star.

### 5/5 — Embr

*2026-05-01, version 1.12.3*

Wonderful

### 5/5 — Hot Flashes taken care of!

*2026-04-26, version 1.12.2*

First, I live in Florida so it’s already hot! I am going through perimenopause and the flashes are real. I have been looking for something to help keep me cool and discovered Embr Wave. It has been a life saver. My friends are even interested and a few have purchased as well. Can’t wait to try it out at the beach this month!

### 5/5 — A life Saver

*2026-03-28, version 1.12.2*

I have been super satisfied with my Ember Wave 2!! So happy I got it. 
I highly recommend it to others that suffer from Hot Flashes. I tried the hormone pellets and they did help, but this is so much better than them❤️

### 1/5 — Hate this App!!!

*2026-03-06, version 1.12.1*

This app wakes me up more nights than I can tell you because it refuses to sync with my armband. My phone has no trouble picking up the signal from the armband, but this app refuses to. Which forces me to spend 20 to 40 minutes every other night messing with the app or deleting it and reinstalling it to get it to communicate with the armband. And the lighting in the app is always brighter than it should be so as I’m spending 20 to 40 minutes, trying to get the app to pick up the signal from my armband. The blue light from this app is waking me up! Poor design on the app! When it works, it’s wonderful. When it works!!! do better Ember wave2!

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing!

*2026-01-24, version 1.12.1*

This app keeps crashing!
