    I like the Reach Antenna. I noticed an improvement with my coverage by 1 to 2 more bars.

    Easy to install. I noticed that at home when the signal is weak in some areas of the house there were less times it wouldnt connect or drop the phone call. In fact I wish they had a 5c model as I have two more 5c phones I'd buy for also, it worked that good.

    I did notice some improvement of my cellular reception at work but not much. No improvement at my hunting land. Was almost to thick to fit my phone case. Did not stick on well after a few months.

      We are glad to hear you have seen some improvement in your reception with your Reach Antenna. We know how frustrating a poor signal can be and that is exactly why we built Reach Antenna and its newer sibling Reach Case.

      Please 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.

      If you are in need of a bigger lift in your signal and a rugged case to boot you might consider a ReachCase. ReachCase has an extendable antenna that gives you our best signal improvement to date - - up to a 3X stronger LTE signal and is drop tested up to 6'. ReachCase is available at Best Buy stores and also online.

      Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can work with you on your sticking issue. We want to make sure you experience all that Reach Antenna has to offer. Antenna79

    useful for bad networks

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'm on verizon and I've had this for a few weeks. My thoughts: Pros: 1. Very slim profile 2. Hidden behind a case 3. Doesn't require any power or impact the device negatively Cons: 1. Make sure you watch the video before installing or else the antenna won't be aligned as mentioned 2. Its hard to quantify the improvement in network as an end user if you are already on a high availability network.

    It was very easy to install on my iphone 6, But I didn't see a difference when I was in a school or in a tunnel. I would still lose signal.

    Makes a differance

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    My husband and I both have iPhone 6s that both have the same case and bought the same day. We were able to compare speed and how many bars in areas between the two phones. And the phone with the antenna would go faster and have more bars than the other phone without. We did not notice any battery life comparison.

    Noticeably improved my LTE speed

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Most of the time I use my phone I'm connected to wi-fi, but this is a big help for me when I'm using GPS in my car or when my wireless is down. It's hard for me to judge exactly how much my speed has increased (they say speeds up to 1.5x faster), but it's now as fast as if I was connected to w-fi, or faster.

    I was excited to get this booster thinking it would improve my reception in places that were usually sparse but I could tell no difference where I live/commute on a regular basis.

      It is important to know that while you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen, Reach Antenna is proven to always be working to improve your signal. The reason for this is based on how your phone measures signal strength. Signal strength is measured in dB’s and then converted into the bars or dots we all know and love. 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.

      Please know that we designed our 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 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.​ Antenna79

    It worked.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I honestly didn't think this would work, but it did. I travel for my job and visit rural areas constantly. I found better reception and overall stronger signal when I used this. I recommend you have a case; the first week I did not have one and it was awkward to hold my phone in my hand.

    I love that I can use my favorite case,and that its small and undetectable. I also love that it gives me great coverage and better reception. I live in an area that has no reception and I have had less dropped calls I'm really impressed by this product because I was really skeptical.

    I live in a mostly rural area and at home, I'm lucky to have one bar of 1X signal. I want to be able to be not be tethered to home wifi. It was a very simple install and I had 3G access with two bars of signal. Get it if you need to extend your change, it is definitely worth it!

    I have been really happy with it boosting my battery and providing more coverage. I travel frequently to the mtns and constantly am dealing with slow processing to look up maps, etc. which also drains my battery.

    Great for me

    My personal experience was great actually. I love Ina rural town and have sprint as my provider. Sprint isn't really capable of giving great service especially in the middle of nowhere. When I first used it I wasn't too sure but when I started to realize that I was able to hold calls in areas I would normally drop them, I was amazed.

    I purchased this product to help boost my signal at work. We have many dead spots and I live on my phone all day long. It was super easy to install and it has made a huge impact in not dropping calls. I love it and if you have this issue, it's well worth the $39 bucks....
