Fastfox for Android
Will update the rating upon experimenting the product. I am aware you are a start-up and we agreed to fund you knowing it was a beta test. Therefore I am hopeful I didn't buy straps of plastic at $8 piece
I am sure it is NOT working for any sole who supported this product. But it seems the company and the guys seems highly unresponsive to any of the complaints. .. I do see so many postings below.... the one I got also has kicked the bucket.
Refused to synchronise
I'm currently running on average 3 or 4 miles a day, and many times it syncs that I have no steps at all or maybe 3000 in a day, which is completely incorrect. Last night it congratulated me that I had 9 hours of sleep when I actually had less than 5. I wish it worked!
Inna curate step counting, and sleep counting. The times changed for the sleep after a few days, which was very confusing. Stopped syncing after about 3 weeks.
First app wasn't compatible with any of my devices. Now I got a new phone I could install the app on but it can't find the wrist band. And it wants to do an internal upgrade immediately after installing from Google play, so presumably from some other source that is less trusted.
This thing is a rip off, been trying to get it to sync with blue tooth and the device can't be found. I know this is a $7-15 device, but geesh let me at least get a little act right. Will never recommend this product to anyone.
"New version better connects"? NOT. It's useless! Completely unreliable hardware/sync, almost feature-free software that wastes design space. Thank god this bundle of 2 bands and app was only 20-some bucks. Still, it's a complete waste of money.
First sync is quick and easy!! But any sync after that always fails. Not sure what is causing it. GalaxyS3 (yes, BT is enabled.)
The band worked for about a total 2 weeks before it just stopped working. The app doesn't recognize that the band is even there. It was a great $8 investment until it stopped working.
It's a pretty nice device, accurately shows step count and sleep durations etc. The only problem I encounter is that maybe once or twice a day it wouldn't wanna connect to update my status which is anooying. The only way to fix that is through rebinding the device which will delete all of ur progress and data which sucks because I want to see how I'm doing and how I'm improving. Update 12/29 it has connection issues. I can't see my progress at this point it's a piece of plastic on my wrist
It doesn't sync anymore. Stopped working after 2 days.
Download the latest app and when you open it, you'll be prompted to download a non-app store update which fixes some of the connection issues. You will still have to replace the battery with a new CR1632 every few weeks and put a piece of paper inside the lid to hold the battery in place. I also wish the app synchronized automatically instead of me having to remember to open it every day, but the app is updated frequently and there are firmware updates to the band which should improve it over time.
Definitely worth it. I was expecting a lot less and it exceeded expectations. Needed.to replace battery after 2 weeks so far no problems after a month.
Got 10 bands.. started 5 at same time...all have stopped synchronization. ..not happy...pulled batteries...removed app and reloaded..still no work..feel ripped off...last kickstarter i support ..no word from anybody...
Worked fine at first, now it hasn't since since 1/30. It keeps saying "connect success" then "synchronization is failed". Also, if you're going to market to Americans it would be nice to offer our units of measure and have somebody translate the app better so it's not in broken English.
I ordered this $8 waistband figuring nothing lost if it turned out to be a waste. I have been wearing it daily on one arm and a Jawbone UP24 on the other. Surprisingly it works as well as the UP24! It won't win any style awards, but what do you expect for $8?
Considering we're basically being given the opportunity to beta test this brand new software for a mere eight bucks, this thing was great! We had fun playing with it for a week or two, after which both mine and my husband's bands failed to sync any more. Sleep info isn't accurate (apparently my husband slept the entire time he was driving the car to Boston.... Doubtful.....) and the step count probably inaccurate. However, even if they didn't fix these things, it does give you a motivation to get moving!
Not as accurate as we would like. Fun to use, and encouraging. Great sync usually, however sync is failing for two days for myself and boyfriend. Will update rating as changes happen.
Once I finally received the strap, it's worked as well as expected. I havent had any synching issues. The step count is definitely off. I really wish it had more options, especially US measurements and S Health integration. My biggest complaint is the strap itself. I got multiple colors and some are damned near impossible for me to fasten. It's a pin-in-hole fastener, not a clasp or watch band. It'll serve until I can get a Fit bit or something similar.
Failed to synchronize after 2 days. Hope they resolve these sync issues so that we don't get this error anymore.. I found a workaround for my issue. If you are having sync issues and getting"synchronization is failed" error (ignore grammatical issue), try this : 1. Try to 'Unbind' and bind again. (You will lose data) 2. If that doesn't work, try to disable bluetooth, enable it back and try to add new device. This should sync up old records you may have on the watch. Sleep data is way off the mark, steps are okay.

Was great till a few days ago. Now it wont sync. Hope this is fixed soon.
Both of the straps I bought no longer work, one stopped working after less than 24 hrs and the other stopped working after 1 week. They seriously need to do major improvements on this... Or like they say, you get your money's worth.
Worked for a couple of weeks then stopped syncing now its not even recognised by my phone.
It was great, easy and simple to use. But not syncing for the last 2 days. Also how do we change time zones while travelling?
Seems to work so far. Not sure if it's syncing fast enough. I also wish it had U.S. units. Will not replace Google Fit or Samsung Health, even it could work with them.
Once shipping is finalized I'll update review!
You get what you paid for . my phone ran out of power can't reconnect
We purchased two and both stopped working with in a week. I have emailed the company and their response is, so sad to bad. Not impressed
Better priced than a fitbit. Should come with extra straps. If it read and monitored heart rate I would give 5 stars.
Mine stop working also after a week it is not recognized by the program ... Really i dont know what to say
Was really good for the first couple of weeks but now it won't sync and I woke up to find the front face of the device has split. Needs more work if it's going to be a commercial success.

Disappointed. Uninstalled & installed & sync'd several times & still doesn't work.
Then cannot sync to the band. Samsung Note 3 Android 4.4.2. Still trying to fix it.
Not working out of the box. It says sync but 0 steps.
For it cost works really well.
It doesn't sync anymore. Stopped working after 2 days.
