I have to let my imagination go wild in order to see any benefits with the signal strength...
It makes the phone a bit thicker causing the Lightning port hard to access for charging or syncing while in a case.

We would like to connect with you to learn more about how you are using your Reach Antenna and how you are measuring your signal strength. It is important to know that Reach Antenna is tested and proven to always be working to strengthen your signal, but you may not always easily see that on your phone screen. Often times performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.
It is also important to know that we designed Reach Antenna to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand. We have tested it extensively and created a video documenting our testing. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest
We would like to connect with you to learn more about how you are using Reach Antenna so we can ensure you experience all it has to offer. Please give us a call so we can work with you. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.

Hoped this would help in my mother's bedroom, where her phone typically cuts in and out. She had hip surgery and really needed to use her phone there. Unfortunately, the reception is only slightly better.

We know how frustrating it can be to have signal challenges at home, and that is exactly why we built Reach Antenna. Please rest assured that Reach Antenna is tested and proven to improve your signal, but know that you may not always see more “bars” when using it so it might not be clear that it is indeed working for you. It is also important to know that we designed Reach Antenna to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in your hand, so how you are using it and what case you have are factors in performance.
We created a video documenting our extensive testing and we would like you to watch the video. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations, as tested by independent third party labs. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest

It is important to know that while you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal. Your phone’s signal strength is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale you can have a 2 dB improvement (which gives you a 1.5x signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. This means that often times performance is seen when you have the ability to make and hold calls in areas where you were previously unable to. You may also see better battery life because the phone isn’t having to work as hard to find and hold a signal.

In my opinion this stick on antenna is not worth the price. I appears that is might add a very very small signal boost, but not enough to even make a single bar of signal strength difference. I reset the phone to show an actual signal strength value in DB and it appears that there is no change between having or not having the attached to the phone.

I got this because I have a really weak signal when at my desk at work. I can make calls but texts are slow and no internet access. This didn't increase my signal at all. I kept it for a week and never saw a difference no matter where I was. Basically it just felt like I had a piece of card stock stuck to my phone.

Please know that Reach Antenna is proven to be always working to strengthen your signal, but you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen. The reason for this is related to how your phone measures signal strength, and what it takes to give you a full “bar”. Your phone’s signal strength is measured in dB’s, and with the logarithmic (non linear) dB scale you can have a 2 dB improvement (which gives you a 1.5x signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. A full bar of improvement would mean you have a very big 10X signal improvement.

We are glad to hear you are seeing improved performance from your Reach Antenna. Getting one bar of reception can mean your signal has gone from next to nothing up possibly as far as a 10x improvement! The reason for this is related to how your phone measures signal strength, and what it takes to give you a full “bar”. Your signal strength is measured in dB’s and then converted into the bars we all know and love. dB’s use a logarithmic (non linear) scale so you can have a 2 dB improvement (which gives you a 1.5x signal improvement) while still not having the phone show an extra “bar”. A full “bar” improvement requires up to 10 dBs, which equals a very big 10X improvement in your signal.
