Ratings and reviews

I love both EMS & TENS functions in one app. The app is overwhelming but semi-organized with extremely technical program descriptions. 2024 edit: The app has not changed much. The confusing descriptions are still there. But, the product color went from red to blue. It is absolutely revolting. Not to mention, there are never replacement pads available and the price was raised. Really unfortunate a great product was acquired and went downhill like every corporation does.

SPLENDID INTERFACE. This app has an excellent track record with me. I've only had intermittent connection problems. the connection problems surprised me because my phone was right next to me. simply put the phone next to the power dots when the button to retry comes up and it will automatically reconnect. all else great 👍🏻. The app is easy to use and if you are body-shaping, WOW! But do ALL on RESISTANCE even if it asks you to change if your body shaping. the best for toning areas like abs!

About 1/4 of the times I try to use them, the dots connect flawlessly to the app and run a program without issue. The rest of the time I have restart the app, and/or the dots, numerous times in order to get started and then again at some point during the programs. It's incredibly frustrating for something this expensive. When it does work, it works very well to reduce soreness or to provide a nice warm up.
