Cove – A hug for your mind

Does not help but i’m too scared to stop using it. I don’t want my anxiety to get worse from stopping. Wish I could return it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first tried the Cove. But the way it’s described is true - it’s a calming subtle vibration that feels like a hug for your brain (or perhaps your vagus nerve?) It is subtle, though. And the effects are not immediate, they build over time. It’s not an in-the-moment cure for the onset of anxiety, but after using the Cove for a couple of months now I can definitely feel a difference in how I react to stress. I also have been practicing transcendental meditation for over a year, and I’ve really found that my Cove sessions complement those effects, compounding my feelings of groundedness. I like that you can go about your regular activities while wearing it, which makes it easy to work into your daily routine.

Still getting accustomed, forget to use some days. Uncomfortable, takes 10 minutes to sync. May return before my time is up - no way to objectively measure effectiveness against the expense.

I really like cove and it has helped with my insomnia, however it will no longer sync my sessions with the app (not sure why this is necessary in the first place) and so I cannot update the firmware, or use the device. The app really should be optional or be improved, the device doesn’t function if the app isn’t working to sync the sessions.

I’ve had the device for a short period of time but I have noticed a difference in my stress. I use to clench my teeth a lot but now I’ve noticed that I don’t nearly do it as much. It’s wonderful.

Infuriating to begin with. Bluetooth says it’s connected but it’s not paired. Takes 5 Minutes to pair it EACH TIME you try to use it. Who knows if it works to reduce stress as it just creates more stress each time I tried to use it.

What a joke. Between the app and the website they have three different instructions for how to just do the initial pairing. None intuitive and none worked. Reset Bluetooth? That didn't work either. Contact their concierge....good luck with that...not available for four days. Smells like a product that was released before it was ready. Glad I can return it and am doing so promptly.

Never connects. Constantly have to delete and reinstall.

If you give this device the time it asks for it, and a little bit of belief that it works, you will see the difference. Try it! I love it, my sleep is deeper, my concentration is better, and my anxiety is mitigated. Thanks Cove!

They keep promising updates to the app, but nothing.
