### 4/5 — I can’t log in after being updating this app.

*2026-07-31*

I’ve been using this app for one year, but after updating this app yesterday, I no longer log in this app even though I changed the password.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-29*

App constantly requires signing back in. Update requires registration as new!

### 2/5 — Interface needs help

*2026-04-17*

App developers need to create an option to start a new session at the same intensity level as the previous session. And/or allow users to input intensity setting BEFORE the timer starts. It's ridiculous user design to try to find the vagus nerve with one hand while modulating intensity on the app with the other, after the device has already started counting down a very short 2 minute window. While lying down. Causes a lot of stress, which the device is supposed to be helping!!

At the very least use a haptic feature, like volume buttons on the phone, to adjust intensity.

### 2/5 — App sucks, device works

*2026-02-26, version 1.3.6*

My sleep has been excellent ever since using the Truvaga Plus, but the app absolutely sucks. I have to reopen it, restart my phone, disconnect and connect to Bluetooth multiple times on any given use. Why is it we are paying $500, and they can’t make a better app to go with it? In my opinion, we shouldn’t need an app to use a device like this. It would be so much easier with just an on/off switch and a couple of settings on the device.

### 2/5 — When the app is down it’s useless

*2025-11-15*

When it works, it’s great! But the app is glitching now so it’s worthless. Why on earth make this without a manual / dark mode option makes ZERO sense. Very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Session logs incorrect

*2025-10-11, version 1.3.5*

Unlike the Android app, at least this one connects to the device! Unfortunately, while I'm starting on level 2, all of my sessions are being recorded as level 1.

### 2/5 — Bad app, good device

*2025-08-29*

The app is worthless added steps for zero patient-useful information, and when the app will not load or connect to the device, the device becomes worthless too. Truvaga should have been made like GammaCore, with buttons on the device to be completely independent of any app.

### 4/5 — Screen color

*2025-06-16*

Pls update app to have dark screen pls. Migraine sufferer, so white screen is too much. Otherwise great app.

### 2/5 — Why does this app exist?

*2025-04-16*

This is a wonderful device. I was advised by my doctor to try this device to help out with some G.I. issues I have. 
Why it does not function independently of this app is beyond me. There have been many times when I needed to use it and have been unable to because of bugs with this app. 
The least they could do is give us a dark mode for the app when it is used in the evening.

### 1/5 — This app does not need to exist

*2025-01-02*

It’s a handheld device. It could have had buttons on it to adjust intensity, start and stop… but no, we have to pull out an app to use this thing for 2 minutes. 

Not everything needs to be an app. Unless you’re providing actual, useful biometric data, you’re just giving us an extra step to deal with

### 1/5 — Problem after update

*2026-08-03*

After the software update, I get an error when I try to log in. I am guessing that maybe they changed the rules about what makes a valid password. Or maybe because I did not have a chance to unpair my device, the thing is bricked. Disappointing. Maybe someone from the company will contact me to provide tech support.

### 1/5 — Latest update complicated a simple tool

*2026-08-01*

The original app was fast and simple to use. This latest update added no meaningful functionality while complicating the app. It takes longer to use with more steps involved. Have to scroll around things that I’d like to delete.

### 1/5 — BAD design

*2026-05-05, version 1.3.6*

Why do I need a username and password just to use the expensive device I purchased? Further WHY can’t I use MY device offline?

### 1/5 — Good product, terrible app

*2026-04-16*

This app is the fatal flaw in this product. Disconnects constantly, and simply should not be required for the functioning of a device that could work simply with buttons. Outrageously planned for obsolescence. For a wellness device this has lower reliability than almost any other device on the market, because of this app.

### 1/5 — why is this app a thing

*2026-04-04, version 1.3.6*

there is zero reason for this horrible app to exist. why does the device need it to function?

### 1/5 — App Broken

*2026-03-25*

The app freezes when trying to save a session. I’ve tried unpairing and repairing the device. There’s a bug and the customer support is nonexistent. I expect better for such an expensive device!

### 1/5 — Total Trash

*2026-03-18*

Truvaga forced me to upgrade the app and now it freezes after every session/treatment. Somehow made a terrible app worse. There are lots of VNS out there; get a different brand. Not worth the headache.

### 1/5 — App now locks up

*2026-02-10*

Prior to the forced update, the app was working fine. Now after every session, it locks up. It doesn’t matter if I select a mood, or if I choose “skip” - it says “loading” and becomes stuck. 

I’ve also always hated the lack of a dark mode, and there’s no way to force it by inverting colors in accessibility settings - the app ignores it.

### 1/5 — The most buggy app I've ever used

*2026-01-13*

Virtually every time I try to use the device, it fails to connect. And when it finally does connect, the connection drops throughout the stimulation session.

### 1/5 — Can’t even download app

*2025-04-18, version 1.3.2*

Says unable to install. Making the product useless.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-04*

App is straightforward and I love the new sound options you can pick for a session. It’s nice that you can save your own customized session so they are easy to go back to. Best way to start and end my day!

### 5/5 — Love the update!

*2026-08-04*

The new visuals are so nice! I’m very happy with this update to my device that has helped me with so much!

### 5/5 — Love the updates!

*2026-08-04*

The new app is much better. I love being able to set my favorites. Makes the usage much easier and quicker.

### 5/5 — Need more updates

*2026-07-26*

App is ok, but basic. Miss simple things like making sure that the week calendar uses your system settings instead of a fixed calendar. Better integration with apple health would be beneficial. Ability to start from a default setting would be nice. Also ability to share the device with another user.

### 5/5 — 5 Stars for Product 3 for App UI

*2026-07-03*

If you could add a field to make notes, that'd be super great. I have such severe ptsd my heart stopped from adrenaline overload 11 times. I hyper metabolize all the medications that'd help. I spent thousands on stellate ganglion nerve blocks. This? SO MUCH BETTER! I'd have paid 10x for it 10 years ago. The life I could have still had 😅

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-16*

Had this device for years and was finally brave enough to the it

### 5/5 — Excellent Customer Service

*2026-03-20*

Truvaga provides personal, prompt service.  They followed through on every commitment!

### 5/5 — Makes Consistency Easy

*2025-11-06*

I love how clean and simple the Truvaga Plus app is. The interface makes it easy to stay consistent, the notifications help me remember to do my sessions, and the stats, instructions, and quick access to support are all right there when I need them which makes it feel effortless to stay on track.

### 5/5 — Great product!

*2025-11-04, version 1.3.5*

Love my Truvaga. I’ve been using it for a year now and it has really helped me wind down at night and relax.

### 5/5 — Very pleased

*2024-11-20*

The science supporting vagus nerve stimulation is extensive. So wonderful to finally have a clinical quality solution that is over the counter. The app is simple, and that’s a good thing.  Easy to use and it works.
