Ratings and reviews

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.

Works but can't use phone. I don't have the connectivity issues many users have reported, however if I leave the app while a program is running I can no longer see the timer or adjust the stimulus when I return to the app. I find this very annoying and odd. It should be able to run in the background but it doesn't. The dots keep running but the app fails to show anything.

I believe the updates made to this app has allowed for better connectivity than before. Before the update, the app would crash and wouldn't recognize the powerdot. But now, I have no issues with that whatsoever. Very good product for your overall health and any soreness you need to have worked on without having to pay more for physical therapy. This product will pay for itself over time vs. physical therapy.
