App requires location permission, and belt only partially works without the app
Cons:<br />The app does not connect with Bluetooth alone; it also requires GPS access, which I refuse to give it. Without the app, I can turn the pad on and adjust the intensity, but I cannot set the timer function. Also, although the website does not mention one way or another, the instructions included explain that there is a pulse mode. They do not explain how to turn that on, even with app. The app's links to maintenance and user manual do not go anywhere, at least with the app disconnected from GPS.<br /><br />Pros:<br />The pad is softer than similar ones I've used. Most use a clear plastic overlay against the skin; this one is cloth, which has a nicer texture. It may make it more difficult to sanitize, but if you're the only one using it, that shouldn't be a problem. It does have multiple intensities to choose from, which allows you to choose your own comfort level. And the included battery pack means that it's portable—that's not common among such devices, but I do appreciate it a lot.<br /><br />Overall, this device is OK; it's neither fantastic nor horrible, and it gets the job done.
