Striiv - Play Smart Wireless Pedometer

Everything about this device, aside from reliability, is awesome. Problem is, it constantly forgets about its Bluetooth pairing and needs to be reset. This means you frequently "lose" your day's progress, and the fun game that motivated you to walk won't get any credit. Huge bummer, and major headache. Their tech support team is responsive, and part of the problem is likely an iPhone thing. But nevertheless, you'll feel like a beta tester. Oh yeah - also, the battery life is awful. It *must* be charged every night, or it will be dead in the morning. Forget about multi-day charge, that does not work as advertised. Even having said all of this, I still recommend the device. It's such a nice pedometer, and the game is such a great motivator, it is without peers. Hopefully they will iron out the kinks (which do seem to be improving as they send software updates).

Sadly this was my third purchase of the same product. Had the it not been for the "myland" portion of the free app available, and the amount of work my wife put into her little world, I would have chosen a new brand to support. The only reason I keep taking the punishment has been the customer service from Striiv as a company. Every time I submit a problem ticket I have been helped in a timely and fulfilling way. On several occasions my Play was replaced or serviced and they even pay for all the shipping there and back. They send you a replacement unit and a box and postage prepaid envelope to return your damaged unit. Some issues I've had are non responsive buttons, the screen stops illuminating and one lost Bluetooth programming and no longer connected to the app after a forced update. Striiv has several others products and this one seems to be getting phased out. Don't count them out based on my review! They are a great company and I'd love to see them make it in this over saturated fitness market.

If you have a phone capable of running the app & linking via bluetooth, it's a nice little support system. The initial setup can be a bit wonky & require a prolonged charge with a reset prior to it being able to work correctly. Not the most feature rich out there, but not the most lacking either. Just kind of overall meh

They continue to update software. as of now... Still not pairing to get data onto iphone. I have been in touch with them. a new update is coming this weekend. We will see.

It motivates me to keep walking. It keeps track of your steps and it can connect with My Fitness Pal. It works with an app on the IPhone. Although I am not normally a game player, the game does encourage you to walk more to earn energy points and coins to play the game. I understand they are adding additional games in an upcoming upgrade. They read the feedback and continually try to fix any concerns.

Gave this as a gift and we didn't take a lot of time to look at it; however initially we couldn't get it to charge. Looking into it a little more before giving a final review.

It is really nice and easy to wear and counts the steps correctly. Happy to have it and will recommend to friends.

Diificult to set to measure distance accurately. Calories burned makes no sense. Registers more flights of stairs than actually climbed by a factor of 10. Striiv customer service is unresponsive to requests for guidance.
