    This is a great product. It works well. I wish I bought the wireless one instead.

    This was really handy to have around and to be able to gauge BAC after drinking, but it stopped working within a few months. At first it was just hard to get the phone to recognize it and we thought it was a software issue, but then it stopped working altogether. I think it has something to do with the auxiliary/headphone connector. I may try getting the wireless one instead.

    The unit needs to calibrate for almost minute each time you use the product which kinda puts a damper on using it at parties. Also I question the accuracy of the product.

    This device gave several readings when you would blow within seconds. I tried it on a non drinking and it showed he had a .03. Fun as a novelty, but I would not trust it

    I bought this for a friend as a gift. I can't see any practical use for it outside of just having fun seeing who amongst friends is the most intoxicated. Though the results aren't always consistent. Still fun.

    We bought this for fun. I can see how it would be a useful item if you were at a social position that you would be out a lot. For the $30.00 investment it could save you $1000's.

    I don't care what these bad reviewers say, I love this thing. Being around a military town, I have a bunch of military friends and have saved a bunch of them from driving home over the limit. It also has a function to "Call a cab" for you from cabs that service your area. We bought this just to play around with but it has actually helped in a few situations to talk friends into either just staying or calling a cab.

    I feel like this product gives you very rough idea of BAC. When playing with it with friends when I got it, every time I used it while waiting the 20 minute timeframe it was completely different BAC level. Really haven't used it much since. Maybe it deserves another try?...

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
