## What is Kolibree?

Finally, a new smart tooth brushing tool!  

Kolibree is a useful app that helps you take care of your teeth on a daily basis, and will improve your oral hygiene.  

Kolibree offers an innovative brushing experience, and gives you real-time feedback on your brushing habits by recording the movements of the ultra-stylish ergonomic handle of its toothbrush.  Whether for personal use with the Ara – the first toothbrush with integrated artificial intelligence, or for family use with the Kolibree V1, you now have the means to improve your oral hygiene.  

=== SMART BRUSHING ANALYZER ===
Unique feature for Ara users: During your first use, brush your teeth as you normally would.  Let the program record your movements and brushing duration. You will receive tips on improving your technique and your overall oral hygiene.  

=== OFFLINE USE and DATA SYNCHRONIZATION ===
No more need to have your phone with you to brush your teeth!  
The Ara toothbrush records your brushing data and automatically synchronizes with the mobile app via Bluetooth. 

=== ACTIVITIES IN REAL TIME ===
- Coach:  See if you brush your teeth for the amount of time recommended by dentists, without forgetting any areas.  Let us take you through some guided tooth brushing sessions, where you can adjust your movements, and take charge of your daily oral hygiene.  
- Go Pirate!:  All aboard, shipmates!  If you want to become the best pirate in the islands, you don’t want to miss a single tooth while brushing.  Control your character with your toothbrush and earn all the gold coins on the boat by brushing the indicated teeth.  

=== CHECKUP ===
See the results of your brushing in a chart. You can improve, if necessary, the duration, and identify under-brushed areas that need more attention.

=== DASHBOARD ===
Kolibree shows the three important measures of your brushing in one screen:
- Duration: Does your brushing last two minutes, as recommended by dentists?
- Frequency: Your tooth brushing is tracked on a daily basis, to help you follow the recommended two brushings per day.
- Surfaces brushed: Which surfaces of your teeth have you thoroughly brushed, and which need more attention?

=== ULTRA SIMPLE BLUETOOTH CONNECTION ===
Simply activate Bluetooth on your phone, put the Ara toothbrush in its charger, and it works!

=== FLIGHT MODE USE ===
The application also works without an internet connection.  You can use the activities of the app, and even sync your toothbrushes through Bluetooth.  

=== USABLE EVEN WITHOUT THE KOLIBREE TOOTHBRUSH ===
No Kolibree toothbrush yet?  We’ve thought of your oral hygiene as well.  Use the app on its own to take advantage of the Coach feature.

### 4/5 — [Update] Brushing Reminders DELETED!

*2022-02-13, version 2.4*

Update: I have since upgraded to the Kolibree Ara from the V1. The app’s brushing reminders are back! I prefer the Kolibree app and brand over Colgate’s rebranding. — They advertise brushing reminders but they have stated they have REMOVED and DELETED the feature making the toothbrush and app completely and utterly useless for me. Sent an strongly-requested refund because of this.

### 1/5 — did they completely give up?

*2021-03-10, version 2.4*

I have had my kolibree toothbrush for a little over two years now and when I first got it, the app was amazing. Unfortunately, a year and a half ago, the app disconnected from my toothbrush and I was never able to connect it again. I tried redownloading today to see it maybe they’d fixed any of the problems I had with connecting and now they won’t even let you log in to access the app. Such wasted potential and a big disappointment.

### 1/5 — Did not connect

*2020-12-10, version 2.4*

It did not connect when we connected on Bluetooth it would not connect to the app

### 1/5 — No funciona emparejarlo

*2020-09-01*

Mi iPhone 6s no reconoce el dispositivo, lo uso sin usar las aplicaciones. 100$ perdidos.

### 1/5 — Can’t pair the toothbrush to the app

*2019-07-06, version 2.3.1*

I got this toothbrush as a gift for my friend. I can’t pair the toothbrush to my phone. I have followed the directions many times but still no luck 😔

### 2/5 — I wouldn't connect

*2018-11-06, version 2.2.5*

My brush would not connect to my Bluetooth and I never had a problem with things nit connecting to my Bluetooth before. So does anybody know?

### 2/5 — Bloated app

*2018-04-08*

My biggest complaint about this app is the bloated size. At over 700 MB, this app takes up way too much precious space on my smaller capacity device. I’ve knocked off two stars from my rating because of this. Apart from that, I think the app is actually pretty good.  I do think some of the animations are a bit obtuse and even after using the app for quite a while, I still am not clear what some of the animations actually mean.

### 5/5 — Best toothbrush I ever used.  Great Investment.

*2018-03-25, version 2.2.4*

I love my Kolibree ara toothbrush. I’m impressed with the way it monitors and assists me with my brushing habits in real time. The “Coach” shows me each area I’m supposed to brush and for how long.  I even programmed it to play music from my playlist while I’m brushing. This makes it a more enjoyable experience. The percentage display and duration that you brushed are helpful because you know how well you did. This toothbrush is a great investment. I look forward to my next dental visit so I can show my Hygienist and Dentist this wonderful product. I think they will be as pleased as I am.

### 5/5 — Kolibree🔥🔥🔥👌🤯

*2018-03-23, version 2.2.4*

The app/toothbrush are the best thing ever!!! I've been using the brush that has spinning bristles and it sorta hurts me gums! But this vibrating one is terrific! I love the 3D model of your teeth once your done but there's only one thing u need to add. Maybe sensors to see which tooth has been pulled out. Cuz when I don't brush that spot it says that that tooth is yellow. Plz fix.

### 5/5 — Latest app version so so cool!

*2018-01-11, version 2.2*

I love the new dashboard, and the 3D check up screen!  Awesome!  Also love that Rabbids is directly available in the application.
