Ratings and Reviews
Interesting
If the app was made to work with an Apple Watch app which made it function in the same way as an Empatica Watch, I would be an appealing prospect. As it is, I only have two wrists, one taken by a medic alert bracelet, the other by my watch.
Can be frustrating
Find it incredibly frustrating that the Bluetooth connectivity is so poor. I can be in the same room as my phone and it disconnects. I also have to turn the vibration off as it drives me insane. In saying that I think I still would prefer to have it than not in the hope it would work if I did have a seizure. It’s better than having nothing.
Developer Response ,
Thank you so much for reporting this! We're working on improving Bluetooth connection stability - please make sure to continue updating the Alert app as well as Embrace firmware. Should you encounter any issues, please contact our support team at support@empatica.com for further assistance. Thank you
Needs improving
Same as above the bluetooth connectivity range is atrocious and unreliable. Also they need to update the software to allow more than one device as this watch is worn by Kids that are not walking around everywhere with the watch left connected in their room
Developer Response ,
Thank you for your feedback! We continue on working to make Bluetooth connection more and more robust. Please make sure to install all firmware and app updates as soon as they are available, to have access to the latest improvements and new features. Thank you.
