### 1/5 — Not competitive enough with other brands on the market

*2025-05-03*

Need to be able to have a higher frequency measurement in the 30,000 hz range to compete with the sensOS app and the blu vib sensors skf pulse and are only taking measurements in the 2,000 hz range that cannot detect defects like its competitors

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work can’t select application for equipment

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2019-06-24*

This device is awesome at monitoring bearing. One thing I would like to see added in the future is the ability to record readings over a time span and not just a snap shot. Other than that, I have gotten a lot of use out of it.

### 1/5 — Test a failure

*2019-04-22*

Testing the unit and the app... 2nd time trying to use kept saying needs to update to a version it already was... reset phone, deleted and installed app, tried everything, app unusable. Without the app tool (pulse) is useless.

**Developer response:** During an app update in late April a bug caught users in an automatic update feedback loop. The bug was quickly fixed when it came to our attention and users were notified immediately. Please contact us with any questions/concerns: SKF.Connected@skf.com.
