It now only inflates one cuff at at time
I updated the app and now only one cuff inflates at a time. Really frustrating.
It works
I’ve had more time fussing with the app than I would like due to the UI design, labeling and flow not being intuitive. I have always gotten it to work eventually, and the resulting restriction and the feeling seem right. I just think they should take a hard look at what happens in the typical use cases and then simply and clarify what the user sees and goes through
Version 2 broke basic functionality
Version 2 is utter garbage. Removed the ability to manually set pressure levels, and the cuffs now inflate to different pressures for my wife. Revert to version 1 and I’ll gladly remove this review. But at present, your system is broken. Your developers failed big on this one.
Save Your Money
App barely works. Struggles to calibrate. Often doesn’t even inflate when you want to start workout. Takes several resets, re-launches, etc. just to potentially get the cuffs to properly inflate and get a set done. Product is essentially unuseable.
App Developer/Company Pay Attention & Fix
This app requires you to go to their website to login, which is unnecessary and poor design. When I go to the gym and can’t get cell service or in an area with no cell service I can’t login to the app to use my equipment. It also makes me worried that if the company goes out of business that the equipment will be unusable since it can’t just run off of the downloaded app. Regarding the equipment itself, I like it and find that it works well.
App crashing
App keeps force closing
Absolutely amazing
I had some trouble with my cuffs, mostly due to my unfamiliarity with them. However, the company stuck with me and completely turned what was a frustrating experience into a terrific one. A lot of companies chase sales but I believe SAGA is interested in building relationships, and that is very refreshing. Buy with confidence.
