1. 1/5Disappointing

   Was introduced to this product/app from a customer. She gave me her sensor and helped me create the account and set it up. Worked great for about the first two days. Then it started to misbehave. Lots of false readings or failing to alert when it should. I could set the sensor on the counter and it would randomly alert on and off all night long. App is buggy. Customer support told me to completely shut down the sensor then remove and reinstall the app. App kept freezing trying to log back in. Would even freeze trying to create a new account. NOT READY for prime time with buggy software. Cannot tell the difference between bad posture and leaning over. So lots of annoying alerts that will result in you leaving your investment on the counter.

2. 1/5Would love to still be able to use this app

   I was enjoying my Upright but the last two app updates have made the barely functional accessibility for screen reader users now completely disfunctional. Voiceover doesn't read most of the app elements, gets stuck in the calendar, and only one of the tab buttons is labeled. It's completely unusable. A lot of people with vision impairments need products like the Upright, but the app is one of the worst I've ever encountered as a screen reader user. To top it off, there's no dark mode and the app doesn't respond to smart invert so it is visually agonizing for anyone who is light sensitive. Upright was a good idea and was great, but thanks to the required app it is $60 completely wasted for me that I'll never get back and there are no other products like it so, as is often common, the people who need something like this the most don't have access to it due to a dev team that isn't designing with their own target audience in mind.

3. 5/5Intriguing and fascinating

   I have been using this device almost daily, however, when I remove it in the evening or if I don’t use for the next 2-3 days I still feel the vibration when I stay in a bad posture for more than 5 seconds. The first time this happened I thought I had NOT removed the device from my back, even though I remembered removing it. When I touched my back the device was not there, even though I felt the vibration clearly! I wonder if the back muscles have memory, and knows that a bad posture is followed by a vibration. Can anyone let me know if you had a similar experience? Or does the app maker has an explanation for this phenomenon?

4. 5/5Really does improve posture!

   I’ve had the device for a long while but only started to use it earnestly during the last year. It really makes a difference in how I stand, sit, and move. It reminds me to straighten up and thereby I’m training my back muscles many times throughout the day. This also opens my chest and I breathe easier and deeper. A great tool and straightforward app. I did change the default for being buzzed from 5 to 15 seconds and recalibrate roughly once a month.

5. 2/5Great device, lousy app

   The operate device works great. You can calibrate it to individual posture and it will vibrate to let you know if you fall into a slouch. The 3.0.16 app on the other hand, is very buggy. A lot of times it cuts out, fails to log time, or logs way too much time. I will be using it for an hour and then the app only log about 20 minutes. Or sometimes it goes the other way, where I’ll wear it for an hour and it will log something like 700 minutes. The app also seems to randomly specify goals for the day. Some days it will be 60 minutes, some days 90, and sometimes 120. It seems very random, and there’s no way to override or configure this. Overall, the device is great, but don’t expect much out of the app.
