### 1/5 — Deceptive privacy practices

*2025-01-22, version 1.3.2*

In order to use the app and to use the BFR product you must agree that KAATSU can use your information for targeted ads throughout the internet via shopify audiences. I am filing a complaint with Apple as the description is in error and returning the product due to this deceptive privacy policy

### 1/5 — (Update 18th May) Still crashes mid sessions

*2023-05-18*

I can confirm the app still randomly crashes mid steps/steps on IOS 16.3.1! I don’t see the value of introducing new features if they break the fundamentals of the app and it’s required usage!

### 5/5 — Good app supporting the new kaatsu B1 bands

*2023-02-26, version 1.2.2*

I’ve used kaatsu for several years and really like their newest kaatsu system. What I really like is the control one has over how the bands are used since the kaatsu app allows one to “program” each kaatsu session. There is still room for improvement but the current system easily rates five stars and works very well.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2022-08-23, version 1.1.1*

This new app from KAATSU global allows me to exercise AND recover with the same equipment!! The Bluetooth ability is better than anything else on the market
