It actually works.
The Quell is actually really good. I bought it to help with my headaches, but sadly it didn't help me, but it did help my knee and foot pain after a hard day of work. This app is great to manage and keep track of the Quell unit.

2016-02-25: Since the update following my early January 2016 review, I thought that the random resetting the device settings issue outlined in my original review below, had been fixed. However, this morning, discovered not so much: woke up to find the app unable to connect to Quell, but after restarting the app failed to fix it, I rebooted my phone, which did then connect with the device fine. (I have no other Bluetooth issues ever, so doubt it is my phone; I connect to my car, house phone and speakers every day with never an issue to date.) When I went to check the app settings, sure enough, once again auto-restart and gentle overnight were off without any intervention from me. Given recent history as detailed previously and today, it occurs to me that it might be a device or firmware issue, so I will try the upcoming firmware update and if that is not a fix, call customer service to see if this is an isolated or known issue, and how to address it. ***** Just to be clear: I still give the device itself five stars. As an effective, non-drug pain treatment, it definitely has enormous value. I trust the app will continue to be improved and refined to catch up to the quality of the device. ***** _______________________\\_____//_______________________ 2016-01-11: The Quell device is truly a game-changer. After using it since June 2015 (7 months), I am unable to imagine going back to *not* using this device and its app. I have found substantial relief from chronic nerve and muscle pain, improved my sleep quality, and after a couple of months I was able to reduce the dosages of my prescription pain medications. So the device gets 5 stars from me: therapeutic medical technology at an accessible initial investment (though be prepared for the ongoing substantial electrode replacement cost, if you happen to use the device 24/7, and are buying with the Canadian exchange premium on the dollar presently). The app itself is helpful to check on treatment timing/progress, keep track of electrode replacement based on an average two-week life (non-adjustable by the user though, which should be changed so those of us using our Quell devices 24/7 can keep on top of timely replacement based on 12 sessions per day instead of 6-8), and monitor the device's battery status and number of sessions left before recharging is required. I cannot find an explanation of how the sleep time and quality are observed and recorded, so I do not find this a helpful feature. Currently
