HALOBAND for Android
Mine no longer works and the creators won't respond to my emails. Freaking kickstarter
Please fix so I can actually use my haloband
Can't register
The fonctions are very limited so far, there should be a way to send vcard easier than tasker... When I try to configurate in the cloud my 'halo' tag it keeps saying tag error...
Band is amazing
Will be getting another color soon worked out the box
I have Xperia Z3V, and yes nfc is turned on.
Poor quality the NFC cannot be written. The NFC on the Halo cannot be assigned to anything or Rewritten
This was only a hoax
Will be getting another color soon worked out the box
Works like charm!!! Loved it Am the luckiest person on earth to be the first haloband user.
Extrem bad reaction time. Waiting up to 5 seconds for an nfc-reaction. the program was obend in the backgroud, but it doesn't open faster. so, it's not useful!!!
Work very well. Great job!
But not an apps but the band itself. I just send an email to team. Hope you guy read it. Good product anyway.
Faulty first HaloBand, ordered second replacement which seems to work now!
Well my first one was faulty MONTHS ago, maybe 5? Never got email responses. Today I got my replacement. 1. Its baby blue, which I didn't even know was an option, and mine was supposed to be black. Then I try to log in the app and it says connection error. Redownload, same thing...really really disappointed in Haloband.
Samsung phones disable NFC, when screen is off or locked, hence you can not read tags, and haloband will not work until you press power button. Haloband unlock function is not native android function or service, it's just a screen overlay on top of everything. This is Bad, because if an alarm or other system message pops up, you have to unlock first to be able to see the screen. Halo tag can only be used to unlock stuff. Should be possible to use it has a tag A or B. TIP: After unlock, enable normal use.
Double tapping anything is a bit unpredictable but single tap is as good as advertised
Looks good. Hopefully band ships soon.
Locked me out of my phone when I mounted it to my computer. The app feels stressed and not to solid.
Adding Tasker really filled in the gaps!

a lack of functions. No contact card. and the unlock phone does not work
The phone recognizes the halo tag on the halo band but the app will not write any info to it. Everytime i try it says tag error. And it wont let me activate it. The A and B tag work though. The locking screen use to unlock with the halo tag but no longer does. The app acknowledges the halo tag on the band but it is unwrittable
This apk requires a lot of work. There are a lot of issues,for example when you want to check-in, send your localisation not via SMS ,put via Whatsapp. And many more issues. 3 stars at the moment. Hope they read the reviews and try to solve this problems. Edit: ir stops working, any of the 3 spots . want my money back!!
Band is amazing
Great concept, half baked execution for now. For example, I keep getting server connection error while using the app. Or for example, instead of vibrating and displaying notification when A and B are touched, why not let it be a user customizable setting. Right now using any function is just slow and clunky. The app seems rushed, but I am sure as time goes on, the app can be much more polished.
I received my band today and fumbled around until I figured out how the lock screen works. It was not clear to me I had to swipe right to get the settings, rather than going to the menu. I haven't figured out how to go directly to a program other than the camera or flashlight. Say I wanted to go to read email, messages, check home automation, alarm system etc. I am assuming it would be the "Tasker" function... But when I check it is says tasker is not installed. I checked Google play and they have an app for sale called tasker which apparently requires programming knowledge to write script files. I need Haloband for dummies
Can't get it to activate on my s4. Followed the video even tho that's what I basically did. Is my band defective?
Great app since tasker was introduced now it has endless possibilities.
Need the band
Was able to test and and there only a few concerns. 1. Alarm can't be turned of unless I first unlock phone. 2. Status bar can be pulled when screen is locked. 3. Unable to access lock screen widgets like taking photos from locked phone.
Anybody else? I am on the tap herr screen and nothing is happening. Using Samsung galaxy s4. It works meow. 5 stars
Seems very dynamic for first pass! I can't wait! In next pass, can you have an option to choose from address book for contacts (ex. Call contact, text contact, etc.) instead of manual entry? Keep up the good work guys!
Works so far, just waiting on my band now. :) can't wait!

I bought this when they told me it was rewrite able but it's not. I will give it 4 stars cause I was wanting a business card. Nope it's online only buisness card.
