User reviews

Doesn't work

My device passes the compatibility test with flying colors, but hrv readings no longer work. Worked fine for months, and the heart rate monitor works with other apps. Trying to submit an issue with logs doesn't seem to do anything. I regret paying for this subscription.

Wasted hours of my life trying to get to work

A waste of time. I purchased the lifetime subscription but am unable to access despite hours of troubleshooting with support. This product is not release-ready; it’s an alpha version that needs several more iterations

Total rip off

Costs $10/mo to use the device at all. Not worth. Stay away

Basic functionality broken

None of the biofeedback & mindfulness sessions work. There's no audio beyond a voice saying the title and it doesn't work at all if you turn off "show heart rate & track HRV".  To do the onboarding you’re forced to watch videos and ads to get the information. No written text is provided. Someone needs to QA the app before release.

No way to log in except Google or Apple?

I am not seeing a way to sign up and log in with my email and a password, the only way is with a Google or an Apple password and I prefer not to use those.
