1. 3/5I am / was hopeful

   My only beef with the unit is the poorly designed earpieces. Within the first 30 days of use, a wire came loose of one of the earpieces making it useless. On top of that, they fit poorly and are extremely temperamental even after following the tips on best use. They fall out of my ear so easily, I have to wear a headband or hat just to keep them in place. Another issue is it’s very difficult to get just the right amount of moisture so they work (assuming you can get them to stay in place). Lastly I cannot say I’ve noticed much wrt improvement. With all this, I am HOPEFUL they will address the earpiece issue.

2. 1/5Forced Subscription Expensive Device

   It’s obscene that the new app forces people to pay an expensive monthly subscription to be able to run the stim for more than 15 minutes. The instructions that came with my device said I should be using it for 60 minutes a day. Not only that, but after the 15 minutes, the app forces you to reset your settings for the level of intensity, further creating an inconvenience having to do it four times. The app does exactly what the old one did but charges. The only addition is that it looks prettier and tracks which days you have used it. I would be more OK with the subscription if the device did not cost me over $400 already. This is not a device that is currently covered by any insurance or medical subsidies in the US. Also, I’ve wasted a lot of money buying batteries for this device because it does not have the simple technology to automatically shut off. I would pay a subscription for whatever incoming AI tech but not to run the device at the recommended time duration.

3. 2/5Idiocy

   The device popped out of my ears no less than 12 times while attempting my first usage, so much opinion of the app might be colored by my frustration with the design of the device... But was this made by actual idiots? Why have a device glow blue that's meant to help with sleep? Blue light disrupts melatonin production. We know this. That has been proven with far more statistical certainty than anything else related to vagustim. Why state multiple times that metal knobs should be in contact with the concha and tragus areas without a simple diagram of ear parts pointing out which areas these are? Why include a video of application where the model leaves a huge dollop of the gel in the wrong place? I have a pulsetto, the first use of which put me to sleep like a baby. I heard good things about vagustim and thought perhaps I could get more benefits, but wow…the opposite is the case. I only wish I had never purchased this joke of a product.

4. 5/5Amazing product - it works!

   I have used the Vagustim for just over a week and have already noticed an improvement in my sleep quality! I love how I can use this device when I'm sitting in the couch or working on my computer. I'm so glad I invested in this, I know it will be so helpful for my health. And for everyone complaining about the subscription fee... it's no different than a gym membership or Netflix. If you actually use it, it's work it. I don't mind paying for something I use every day to support my health.

5. 1/5Sneaky corporate grab

   I already paid for an overpriced machined and you’re asking for a subscription on top? I think the f not. Do not buy this machine. Do not get this app. It asks for a pricey subscription to change your settings. Underhanded and greedy. Other off topic things that are just bad about this app: even if I had a subscription, I can’t extend my session time past 30 minutes. Also, their steps between severity when you’re getting stimulated are very clunky. I either barely feel it or it hurts. Their previous app was much better, but they shut that down for a corporate grab. We’re going to look into whether or not we can return our machine because a 15 minute session just ain’t worth it. Sorry not sorry y’all losing money now.
