Smart Buckle for Android
Terrible app. Clunky interface. Buckle rarely connects with phone. Buckle itself is horrible at counting steps. Consistently thousands off of what the phone in my pocket is reading. Don't waste your money
Pairing the device requires access to contacts and call history you can deny it though. After 3 days of usage device battery level indicator on the app is stuck to 50%. Killing the app or restarting the phone does not fix this issue. The device does not appear in the collections view. Does not automatically detect sleep. Have to push the button in the app to let me know that you're going to bed, and then again to tell it your awake. Hardware very unpractical . Hardware is ok, if the app would work and if the buckle had an alarm better this would be a killer product. Please give this app store love.
The buckle has potential but the app is ridiculous. It is not always possible to connect with the buckle to update the information. The buckle does not seem to keep any information when it is not connected to the phone. The app design is outdated at least, material design would be more appropriate. I would like to recover past daily information more accurately too. It doesn't recognise or even consider running or anything else than walking. It also doesn't track sleep time unless you tell it that you are sleeping. Data on sleep patterns only aggregate and less useful. I hope an update will correct all these issues. (maybe have a look at fitbit app)
Very clever idea. Got my buckle and it's seamless counting steps and sleeps. Loved the accuracy. Good job team gooseberry!
Ok when it connects, but every time it connects it clears the list of paired bluetooth devices. Re-pairing my other devices repeatedly is frustrating.
Like the buckle, hate the app. Have no idea if the buckle is working well as the app is so appalling. It is clear that no UX/UI designer had any hand in this (that is competent, or wasn't overruled by a fool).
Attempted to connect smart buckle and Moto 360 ...boots me off one or the other ....steps have been inaccurate ...loses connection to smart buckle quite often
Loved the accuracy of this which is better than Fitbit and apple watch

The buckle, itself, counts about half as much as the actual steps. The app? You have to tell it you're sleeping and awake for it to track that. Who remembers that when you're tired? Hardly stays synched with the buckle, when it does, the data is gone. The buckle is huge, difficult to charge. If the interface and data collection doesn't improve, it's going in the trash!
