Ratings and reviews

Absolutely awesome!!!! I've had a shoulder kink for several months now and no matter how much I tried to roll it out or have a massage, it just couldn't get to the deepest muscle tissue. well, that was until this morning. I feel great and will definitely incorporate this into my training program from here on in. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to develop strength, conditioning and performance in whatever sport they participate in. the 👍

The device does what you expect. However, the only issue I have encounter is for some reason the my bluetooth keeps turning on even after I finish using the app and drains my phone battery. I have had to do a forced stop on the app several time which seems to work. Hopefully a future software update will resolve the issue. Update. A month in and the bluetooth is still an issue. Also there is now an issue pairing PowerDots with my phone. I'd suggest saving your money and buy another brand.

When it works it's great. However it's plagued with connectivity issues to the powerdot devices. There's no reliable route to getting them to work with each session having to add on ~15 mins of resets, app restarts etc. It's seems to me they are aware of this as it's filled with tips as to how to connect when there are problems. As mentioned though, none of these methods are reliable and it's just a cointoss. Also, the proprietary pads you need to purchase are so expensive. Avoid.
