SQUEGG 4+

This app is amazing for people who struggle with grip strength and grip endurance! I highly recommend this app to occupational therapy practitioners, hand therapists, and clients across the globe. Over the course of the past few weeks of using the app, I have noticed my grip strength getting stronger and stronger. I even had my grandmother who has Parkinson’s disease use the product and she’s enjoyed playing the games while improving her strength. 5/5 excellent application!!

The device has a quick and easy set up and is fairly user friendly and I appreciate that it includes data to support overall health such as the blood pressure reduction activity. I wonder how accurate the grip strength is however, the grip reading it gives me is about 20-25 lbs. less than the dynamometer reading, though to be fair these are two different instruments for measuring grip strength with different style handles to grips. The different games are fun but the jet pack game is a bit challenging and frustrating at times. It would be nice if there was a way to grade the activity from easy to hard and if there were levels that have a beginning and end to them. Also some more games would be good for variety. Overall, very good device and worth the price!

I was loving using this app and device in my paediatric OT practice until the most recent update. My therapy kiddos loved the Balloon Blaster game, but the graphics and scoring totally changed and not for the better. Previously, the resistance increased with each level. Currently, there are no levels, no accrual of points and no increase in resistance. Additionally, the background music disappears once you start the game.
On a different concern, I bought the device myself and recommended my employer purchase one for each of their clinics. My device and the first clinic device have worked great. However, the clinic device purchased more recently only worked for a month. The company readily replaced it, but the replacement device has never worked properly.
