Useless

I created an account. But try to log in and it would close. Useless app

Useless

Canโ€™t even create account just flashes bk with no message

Could be worth something

Concept is good, have the app running on a spare phone next to my Bluetooth speaker. My computer plays an alert sound when I have to take action on something. I figured logging into the account on my main phone I would get the alert there as well. So tell me, what good is this app if it needs to be near the source of the sound for you to be alerted? I think this has great potential but needs a lot of work. Will not pay for your app until alerts can be received on multiple devices.

Great set up, but...

It locks up on me and stops โ€œlisteningโ€ when I use other apps. When that happens I have to fully close the app and reopen it every time. Itโ€™s time consuming to do that since it has to synchronize, etc. The app itself is great...when itโ€™s on!

Helpful

Good, helpful app to bridge the gap between nothing at all and a full on alerting system.
Hopefully FitBit gets on with enabling Pebble functionality so this app is compatible with both wearable lines.
