Pavlok

It was fine how it was but now that it updated to this new app all it really did was make it so that you need to pair your pavlok every time you want to use it.

I’m about to throw this away now as one time alarms are no longer an option. It makes me set specific days I want it to go off but I wake up different times everyday. I don’t have the same wake up time everyday.

Listen, before the update I was using the pavlok and the app persistently and consistently. I had no issues before. I kept it simple, I used it as an alarm and nothing else. Now since you guys updated the app for some reason(there’s no reason). I legitimately have problems with just turning on the alarm. I have to try to turn it on, close the app out and get back on it again to turn it on. I like the product and the old app. I get it, it’s a company and y'all are trying to grow as a company. But stick with keeping it simple. People don’t need the extra shenanigans. I do like the different options of turning off the alarm like jumping jacks or a puzzle. Everything else is not useful for the consumer. Do another update, and get rid a lot of the stuff. You don’t want to lose the consumers because y'all trying to expand. Or just make another app for what you want to expand on. Again, the update was a flop. Just go back to the simplicity of the app. Thank you

Yup, now it’s the worst app ever. The new update (as of July ‘23) has totally broken it. It’s SO busy with crap that no one will ever use. It’s the opposite of good simple design, the way that Apple designs stuff. And just like everyone says - the slide feature for turning off alarms doesn’t work, the alarms get duplicated for no reason, and the whole layout is unbelievably ‘noisy’ and over complicated. PLEASE make a simple app with no sign-in required that works JUST for alarms since no one is actually wearing this during the day for habits, etc. Smartwatches already have that market covered

Amazing alarm, but app tries to do too much and doesn't work. Why can't an alarm just be turned off? Instead they added a swipe feature for no reason that often doesn't work. Turning on the alarm without adding an entirely new alarm is hard with. App gets updated and changed frequently and keeps getting worse. Stop adding new features (social/community, habits, etc) when the basic functions are getting worse with the new features.

The main issue I have with it is that it constantly duplicates alarms. I’ll set one for say 6:30. The next day when I go to reset the alarms it has 3 for 6:30. I’m constantly going through and deleting alarms

The app definitely needed improvements, but it was working. The latest version was updated in the middle of the night and disabled my alarms. Now it has been simplified to 3 core parts of the app (alarms, habits, and steps). I cannot access the habits at all. The steps will record erroneously. I have either walked more steps that aren’t recorded or (in a few instances) it has recorded me as having walked in the future. But I don’t recall breaking the space-time-continuum. (Unless that’s a feature of the app that was undisclosed? Meh. I doubt it.) And the alarms! My alarms no longer work consistently. Sometimes they will not go off. Sometimes they go off 20 minutes early. Sometimes (after I stop them) they continue to go off. I have tried all of the troubleshooting methods (deleted/reinstalled the app, unpaired the device, hard reset of the device), but none of them work. I’ve chatted with support for a few days with no resolution. This device is only as good as the app that supports it and the app is no good.

Most recent update makes it so many of the functions don’t work anymore. The sleep tracking just doesn’t work anymore. If you sent the alarm to the right time, and then don’t change the amount of time you wanna sleep, it will not keep the alarm you set.

50% of the time it does not work. I will end the sleep tracking and none of the data gets saved. Not to mention it freezes and crashes all the time.

Device used to have more function. Mindfulness would set reminders to relax, take a breath, center yourself, etc. before the update there were articles/advice given as well. New update seems to limit what the device can be used for.
