Unreliable

Bad design. App stops connecting to the device. Requires unnecessarily complicated factory reset each time.
SSh42069

The WORST app ever

Constantly forgets the knog device, have to re add it, doesn’t locate it via Bluetooth and causes all sorts of issues. I’ve got 3 of the Scout devices and every single one is a nightmare to deal with.
BBengriff97

Useless

Doesn’t work & renders the device inoperable
PPuncheur

Won’t connect

Won’t connect to new iPhone. Factory reset performed, account logged out of and back into. Seems to be a common issue. What’s the fix please?
AATC30

Waste of money

Absolute rubbish product. The scout won’t connect, when it eventually does the alarm wouldn’t wake you if it were on your pillow! App just spins the wheel of death and goes nowhere.
