Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the antenna for its signal strength, ease of use, and improved battery life. The slim size is also a plus for many users, as it doesn't interfere with most phone cases. However, some customers have reported issues with reception and compatibility with certain phone cases. A few customers also felt that the antenna affected the phone's appearance.

    First, I'llstart by saying that I was extremely skeptical before trying this product, but I decided to try anyway. To keep this short and sweet... it is Way easy to install, you can't even tell once it's on.. and it really does work. I went from having 3/5 bars of signal to 5/5 bars!

    Not intruding and improves signal

    The design of this antenna is what makes it good. It takes up zero room and is almost as thin as paper on the back of your phone. Increases signal in rural areas not exponentially, but enough to where it is noticeable.

    Don't waste your money...

    Did you really think a stick-on antenna would actually improve your iPhone's signal strength? If it was this easy, wouldn't Apple have just made the phone better in the first place? I work in an office where I just barely get cell phone service. If I strategically place my cell phone upright in a certain place in my office, I can get enough service to send text messages, make some phone calls (on speakerphone) etc. When I saw this product, I thought maybe, just maybe I could get that extra ounce of juice so that I could at least use the phone somewhat freely in the office. So I followed all of the instructions and stuck this antenna on the back of my phone and... you guessed it, no difference. So I kicked my phone into field test mode (I am a network engineer after all) to see what kind of difference this antenna really makes. I thought to myself, "it has to do something..." but no, it doesn't. There is no increase at all in cell phone signal (dB) and the service in my office was just as terrible. I tested this in multiple locations with the antenna on, and got the same readings with the antenna off. So please, don't waste your money and just get a network extender, a new cell phone carrier, or something that actually works.

      Thank you for purchasing Reach Antenna. Before launching our products to the public we rigorously tested in 3rd party CTIA-authorized labs to validate the results we display on our packaging. We also conducted 3rd party drive testing to ensure these results occurred in real world situations while moving through different locations. We created a video documenting this testing and we would like you to view it as it speaks to your concerns. In the video you will see live data with improved performance in real life situations. You can see it at: http://www.reachantenna.com/drivetest It is important to know that we designed our Reach Antennas to be used (1) with a case and (2) also when held in a hand. We would like to learn more about your use testing so we can help you, but we can’t tell from your post what configurations you are using.

      We believe Apple did a fabulous job in building the iPhone 6, but they are also constrained by the limitations of the phone itself (slim design, larger screen, bigger battery etc..). Working externally we have fewer constraints - our patented technology couples with the internal antenna to form a combined antenna system with superior receive and transmit properties.

      We are confident that Reach Antenna is always working to give you the best opportunity for a better cell phone experience. However, many external factors can affect the observed user experience throughout your day. Please give us a call so we can work with you to be sure that you are using the product as intended so you too can experience all Reach Antenna has to offer. You can reach us at 1-855-862-4090.​ Antenna79

    The antenna helped here and there, but overall it did not give a major boost to my reception. Don't purchase this expecting a miracle.

      We are glad to hear that you have seen how your Reach Antenna has helped you out! Reach Antenna is always working to strengthen your signal, but please be aware that you may not always see more “bars” on your phone screen so it may not always be easy to see what it is doing for you. 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 we have a newer product called Reach Case that you may want to consider. Reach Case has an extendable antenna and gives you our best signal improvement to date - - up to a 3X stronger LTE signal. Reach Case is available at Best Buy stores and also online.

      We would like you 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 would be happy to work with you to help make sure you are experiencing all that Reach Antenna has to offer. Please reach out to us at 1-855-862-4090 so we can answer any questions you may have.

    I love it! It was easy to apply, didn't fall off or peel at all. I didn't have any problems with it. Even with my thick case it was able to stick on and work just fine. My battery life seemed to improve, and It looked cool on the back of my phone.

    I have a farm on the outside of town. It never fails that I miss a call or drop an important call due to poor coverage. Since getting the Reach Antenna I have noticed no dropped calls and even end up getting emails in a more regular fashion.

    Small but noticeable difference

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

    I thought it was really easy to use and gave a noticeable but not large increase in performance. When using over the air data the antenna did quicken page loads and app downloads. I liked that it was hidden by the case. I would be curious to see what the long term performance is like.

    Purchased this with great expectations since we live in an area of signal difficulties. Two iPhone 6 plus together - one with the Reach Antenna and one without. No difference whatsoever. Tried it out for 3 days. It was installed properly. We tried but found its best use was putting it back in the box and taking it back to Best Buys for a full refund.

    I like that it is thin and light and unobtrusive. It helps prolong battery life and seems to get better reception when sending and receiving calls. All things considered, price, etc, I believe its worthy.

    Might work... maybe...

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

    This product might work... maybe... but at $40 (what it cost when I bought it) MAYBE is not good enough. It reminds me of the oldschool snake oil antenna extenders that cost about $0.99 once the market was saturated - That wasn't a big deal because it was hidden under your battery, this unless you have a case is on display for everyone to see. Again, wouldn't mind if it actually worked. I did a quick test and it seemed to speed things up on the phone! However test later seemed to show that things were about the same. The following is straight from their website: Can Reach Antenna give me more “bars”? Even though Reach Antenna is always working for you, you may not see an increase in bars in every situation. Your bars are highly dependent on your local signal conditions, and the “scale” of the bars may not show increases in reception that fall in between one “bar” indicator and the next. Also, performance results may vary based on case type, carrier, and environmental factors. hmmmm sounds like snake oil to me. If it was $1.00 or given as a gift. I would have kept it... $40 for a maybe is way too much to spend for me. I cannot recommend this product.

    Easy installation

    Hard to say 100% if this is increasing my signal strength, but have noticed better battery usage. Installation was very easy. They use the packaging itself to help you apply it, and to make sure it is aligned and it's very simple and straightforward.
