Sensate
It stops my acid reflux
I don’t know
I’m not sure what to make it. Very difficult to know if it’s making any difference.
Quality of the app doesn’t reflect the cost of the device
I really like the device, I feel like I see a noticeable improvement in my resting heart rate and hrv, I get better quality rest if I use it for a mid day nap, I fall asleep faster and sleep better if I use it before bed, it’s very soothing and comforting and definitely helps me feel less stressed. That all said, I don’t think the app is very good.
-There’s no battery indicator on the app, imo a huge oversight.
-more than half of the “soundscapes” are corny and annoying, even from what I heard from the previews of the plus options there’s only maybe 4 that I think I would like, which is certainly not worth the subscription cost.
-I wish there were more longer options, the 30 minutes are what I prefer and there’s like two that I can bear to listen to.
-recently one of those, nebula, has stopped working entirely, the device just stops vibrating 5 minutes into the session and never starts again. We’ve tried on both mine and my partners phone and it happens to both of us. Real bummer.
- the categories are arbitrary and confusing, I wish you could see all at once and filter by time and maybe type of sound, ie, piano vs vocal vs ambient, etc. they’re all over the place.
- the descriptions on the soundscapes are also all over the place, some are one sentence that’s vague and doesn’t describe the sound at all, some have an artist bio on the team that created it but no description of the sound, and some are several paragraphs describing the sound and with a story narrative?? Super inconsistent.
-You can’t scrub through the length of a session, if you get interrupted you can only start over.
-the vibrations aren’t very strong, even all the way up there’s only a few soundscapes that use the full power of the device which in my experience is when I get the most relaxing sensation of the vibrations on my sternum.
- I think this should be usable without an app at all. I should be able to just town on the device and it has a couple default vibration modes without having to use the app or pick a soundscape.
I usually just use the same one or two soundscapes and turn the volume off and put my own music on, which is a shame for a device that costs 300 to not be very good when used as intended. I think for the price point it should have a much better user experience and more features.

Calming
Very calming for me and helps to my feelings keep regulated
not effective and the app is bad
I've been using the device for about a month and I can't tell any difference. It's definitely not helping me get to sleep. The app has a bunch of awful "soundscapes" that you have to use in order to use the device. The paid soundscapes might be better but I'm not going to pay for a subscription to something that seems ineffective. It would be much better if I could just activate the device for a session and listen to something I find relaxing like the calm app.
