### 5/5 — 没想到还真有这样的应用，解决方案也这么直接

*2025-11-08*

太棒了，解决了我的问题

### 4/5 — 很不错，还可再改进

*2025-11-06*

最近用了一个APP，顶呱呱，检测和提醒都还不错，孩子坐的比之前好很多了。但问题是，APP是用手机手机或iPad对着孩子，孩子会分神去看屏幕上的画面，有时候还会故意歪一歪去玩。正想买个电子的，看了UP主的分享，觉得没必要买其他的了。

拿来给孩子矫正坐姿用的，优点很明显：灵敏准确、风格有趣、带番茄钟，孩子很喜欢，坐姿明显改善了。但也有一个明显的缺点：干扰注意力。孩子会时不时的区看屏幕上的卡通形象，有时候还会停下来故意外头做鬼脸玩一会儿。虽然可以带AirPods息屏使用，但对孩子来说不适合，特别是一二年级的低龄小朋友。提两个建议：
1、希望加强息屏模式，或者增加一个影藏模式，比如不实时显示坐姿镜像，只在计时结束后给出坐姿不正确的影像。这个对于干扰注意力很重要。（这个迫切真心需要）
2、建议对错误坐姿也可以考虑用积分的方式，比如错误多长时间，就获得一颗炸弹，或者破坏一个西瓜，增加趣味性能更好的激发孩子的兴趣。

### 5/5 — 希望出一个校正功能

*2025-03-01*

戴耳机的方式不一样，检测出来永远在低头

### 5/5 — 可以开发给小学生纠正坐姿来使用

*2024-12-03*

开发给小学生纠正坐姿，市场应该很不错，更能收得起钱，每天纠正多久免费，超过时间就要收费之间的，家长愿意给钱

### 1/5 — 偷偷扣款

*2024-07-09*

偷偷扣款下了以后都没用发现以后扣了好几个月了

**Developer response:** 你好，那个免费试用，如果结束前没有取消订阅就会扣费，请知悉。

### 5/5 — 建议进将歪头最小角度进一步减小

*2024-06-30*

建议进将歪头最小角度进一步减小，5度对于正在建立书写姿势的小朋友是个比较合适的值。

### 4/5 — 希望可以调用macbook的摄像头进行坐姿识别

*2023-10-10*

在不需要佩戴AirPods的环境中，希望可以调用MacBook的摄像头进行坐姿检测。

### 1/5 — 检测不到AirPods

*2023-09-20*

用不了啊，检测不到AirPods

**Developer response:** 仅支持 MacOS Sonoma 14.0

### 5/5 — 耳机模式无法检测头前倾

*2023-06-23*

求求开发者了快点修复吧

### 5/5 — 为什么我的历史记录没有存下

*2023-05-26*

昨天第一次用，拿到了黄金西瓜，为啥今天没有记录啦
