The Pulsetto device works very well. The only thing that works about the app is the part that controls the device. Luckily that part is free. But after a month of using the premium features, I can tell you that premium is not worth it—if I weren’t on the free trial, I’d be pretty angry about having to pay for an broken app. They tell you premium is required to sync with Wearables and the Health app, but you can skip paying for it because the sync is broken anyway. When it does work, the data it imports doesn’t match up to what you see in your wearable app so the “insights” are meaningless. And now the outbound sync TO Health and my Whoop app just randomly stopped working. Tech support is all nice, sincere people, but they DON’T. EVER. FIX. ANYTHING. And sometimes the directions and advice they give seems aimed at the Android version. They keep giving me the same script over and over again. I deleted and reinstalled the app several times on their advice. I’m not tech-challenged, either. If I even bother contacting support, it’s because I’ve exhausted every possible way to try and fix it on my own. The problem with this app is that they don’t know how to fix it either. Finally one of them admitted to me that all of the premium features are still in beta. That’s right—they expect you to buy a subscription for unfinished, untested software. I am old enough to remember when software companies either paid you to beta test or at least gave you free beta-test copies. Not these guys. They advertise a finished product, and want you to buy it AND test it for them. And given that none of the paid features actually work, even calling it beta is being generous. If all you care about is making the Pulsetto device go, then this app works perfectly, and you won’t need premium. If you want any data or insights, you have to pay. But don’t bother doing that, because it won’t work.
