Liked many things about this product(the app, the ease of setup), but it did not work as a security camera for me.  The range on the motion sensor seems to be about 10 feet.  I talked to product support and they claimed that it was 20+ feet(I think they said 22), but I can do jumping jacks in front of it at 15 feet and not set it off.  Without a good motion sensor, it is just a very expensive nanny cam.

Maybe mine is defective, but after going round and round with support via the smart chat, I'm just going to return it.

I got the paid version of this app to get control of my small business inventory. I love that it is easy to use and I could import/export reports and inventory lists. I am reserving the 5th star for a couple upgrades that would make this perfect for me. I would like to be able to sync it with several devices so that I can use my phone, desktop or kindle simultaneously. It would also be a huge upgrade to have the ability to list more than one product on a single transaction. I also had to contact customer service with a problem and they were very prompt and fixed my issue right away (it was user error, not an app problem) Overall I am very pleased with it.

Like a lot of things about it. I like fire fly app when it comes to telling me the music I'm listening to. Like that it has my apps I use. Like the creativity to the apps and screen. Has nice presentaioon. I like that you can watch videos while on the phone. Perspective mode makes interesting themes but wish it was more.

I wish you could customize. Limit the carousel for one and make it a favorites carousel instead. Listening to lots of music takes over the whole carousel and makes flipping through all annoying. No customized ringtones??? It's 2015....I want my ringtones and message notes tones...not Amazon's. The camera/firefly button is super sensitive. I wish it can be turned to hold for camera and not press.

I've had this watch for a little under two weeks and have to say...I do like it quite a bit. The app, which is free from the iTunes store, is rather snazzy. Another friend bought the same watch and we can see one another's activities, which is rather motivating. It's more than just a glorified pedometer, like the Fitbit, as you can also add activities like cycling and it tracks your route via GPS. The activity is incorporated into your 'daily steps,' even though you're not really 'stepping.'

The other "good" points are that you can take photos of food and drink, the app does a reasonable job of keeping track of steps and activities, and the ability to get your heart rate without a strap is a big bonus. Being a gadget geek, however, I cannot seem to figure out the sleep function, so I put that on manual (not really sure how much you'll learn about your sleep patterns anyway). I can also sync up my Fitbit to the LifeTrak, but find that the steps counted by the Fitbit are considerably more than the LifeTrak, so I'm not sure which one is the most accurate. The steps on the Liketrak (Argus) app can be slightly confusing as well. There are two green hexagons on my app screen that labeled "Daily Steps" -- one of those daily steps matches what is on the watch face, and the other is relatively low. I'm not sure where the steps in the 2nd hexagon are being generated from. So information provided can be a bit daunting to decipher. When I sync with the app on my phone, the information on the app does not immediately sync with what is on my watch. These are only minor issues that can be fixed with an app update.

Big issue -- on day 12, the watch started flashing "low battery." I would expect the battery to last more than 12 days. Contacted Customer Service via their email provided on their site and am waiting for a response.

Bottom line - If you're looking at buying, I'd wait for the next version to come out. Having said that, it is usable 'as is,' and I do like the LifeTrak Zone C410 watch, especially for the price point. They are definitely on the right track here. They just need to fix the little inconsistencies and update the app. I'll update this review once I hear back from Customer Service.

** Addendum. Customer Service contacted me within hours and was aware of the low battery issue on some of the watches. They have agreed to do an exchange. Quick, helpful Customer Service is a real bonus in my book -- so I have upgraded the stars. Nice job.

I have never used any other smart watch or fitness tracker, so my review is not a comparison to other products in this category. I ordered the Bluetooth version.

The bracelet itself is very adjustable. I have very small wrists and often cannot get bracelets tight enough so as not to spin around--not the case with this. The fasteners are 2 metal bulbs that fit into the holes. It is hard for me to get those into the holes with one hand and takes me several attempts. However, once its on, it doesnt unintentionally come undone and Im not taking it on and off that often. The actual mechanical part of this product is a small oval piece that fits into the band. I haven't had it pop out accidentally, but I do feel conscious of it since it seems like it could.

I have an LG G2 phone, and the Bluetooth pairing was easy after downloading the necessary app. I do not like that the app asks for height/weight in metrics, but I was able to Google the conversions and have not been asked to input any other data since setting it up initially. When I was installing the app, I did get a pop up that said the app would be able to read all notifications posted by the system or any installed app, which may include personal information such as contact names and the text of messages sent to you. Im unclear why it would need to ready my messages, so Im a bit wary of it.

So Im going to be honest and admit that Ive barely used the app that goes with this product after I initially set it up. The bracelet itself tracks my daily steps and calories. That is really all I need it to do as I strive toward the 10,000 steps per day that is recommended by so many health professionals (Im usually right in that range). The app on my phone is useful for comparing the numbers of past days, but I haven't used it for anything other than that. I like the watch feature on this bracelet, and I like that the digital display shuts off rather than constantly being lit. I will probably just uninstall the app and use the bracelet as I mentioned.

While I cannot compare this product to other fitness trackers, I can say that, after 8 days of continual use, the pedometer seems accurate and the calories burned conversion appears accurate as well. Wearing this bracelet reminds me to works towards my goals and has even helped me to decide to park further away in the grocery store parking lot and to take the stairs when practical. I have only charged it one time since I have had it, so the battery life is good. It does reset the steps and calories at midnight, which is fine with me.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. I did not receive any other compensation, and I am not obligated to write a favorable review. I have used the product myself, and all statements in this review are my own.

My nine year old son was excited to review this product (which we received free from BzzAgent).  He thought the fact that it has its own app was incredibly cool.  There is definitely some assembly required, and you can either hang this with command tape (included) or an over-the-door hanger (this is what we did).  The things I disliked about the product are that it is not really suitable for use around younger children (my one year old bit a chunk out of the ball within five minutes of opening the box), and that the ball tends to get stuck in the hoop a lot.  My son really enjoyed trying to beat the opponent on the app and playing regular hoops with his dad.  Another important thing to note - the app is only available on iPhones/iPads, it would be great if they could offer it on Android as well.  Overall, a decent toy; this would make a great gift for an eight to ten year old's birthday.

here is my product review of the OMBAR Wireless Bluetooth Self-portrait Stick Monopod :

unboxing the product, it came with the following items:
-Manual
-Micro USB Cable for charging
-Carrying bag
-Wrist trap
-Monopod Self-portrait stick

There are a lot of features here that I really like.

1.)  All black design
2.) Portability ( 9 Inch when retracted)
3.) The handle has a good amount of grip to it, plus the added wrist strap so you don't accidentally drop it.
4.) The Extendable pole is made up of aluminum alloy so it's pretty light.
5.) Extending and locking it in place through ROTATION (unlike with most selfie sticks where you just pull them straight out)  gives you a peace of mind.
6.) The ability to switch the phone holder for a GO PRO camera if you have one.
7.) Underneath the Handle, there is a tripod mount that you can attach to your tripod.

now, for the flaws:
1.) when retracted, it actually only extends up to 34 INCH, not 38 inch.
2.) as for the built-in Bluetooth Remote Shutter:
  a.) SOMETIMES, there can be latency issues from the moment you press the shutter button and the moment your phone takes a picture.
  b.) unfortunately, the built-in Bluetooth remote, you CANNOT take burst photos while holding the shutter button. I was surprised it didn't have this feature since most wireless remote shutters have this.
3.) the "Ombar" Logo takes away the beauty of this product. I do understand they need to market their product, but at least put the logo somewhere else like the handle so it's subtle to the eyes.

The Cons are NOT a deal breaker by any means and the Pros obviously outweigh those flaws.

Overall, the product works as advertised and I recommend it.

I love the product!  The size of the motion sensors is great and they work very well. The door sensors are a bit large but the same size as comparable versions. (I only say they are on the large side because I am used to the micro sensors) the siren is surprisingly loud. Set up is a breeze and anyone can do it. The concept is great and very economical if you just want a local alarm that you can monitor yourself. The ability to add some basic home automation to the system is a huge plus!

My issue is with the app. I have had issues with the app causing my phone (iphone 6) to freeze. The app just seems to be a little buggy. It is easy to navigate and straight forward but just doesn't wow me as far as its visual design. It is super simple to make changes to the settings. One thing I would love is if you could re-arrange the order of your sensors on the app. They currently show up in the order you add them. Not a huge deal, but it seems like a simple thing that would really be nice.

The system has worked flawlessly, and I have no issues with the sensors showing open when they are actually closed or vice versa. The rage for the sensors is excellent.  I currently have 5 motion sensors, 2 door sensors and a key fob installed.

I would really like to get a second indoor siren, but at this time skylinknet is sold out so that's kinda a bummer. I totally would give this system five stars if the app was just a bit more refined. I'm sure eventually the app will get some updates but right now it just didn't rate five stars.

Once I got it installed and running, it's been a very useful addition to my PC. I primarily purchased it and have been using it to sync my Treo 650 smart phone without having to take it out of it's skin-tight case (the case prevented insertion in my docking cradle). Since I was already looking to get a USB hub, the included USB ports allowed me to combine two purchases into one.

I had problems installing the accompanying software (BlueSoleil, something I've found bundled with a lot of Bluetooth products) on my WinXP Pro PC. The install program would reach a certain point and freeze. I put Windows in Safe Mode and was able to install the software with no problems. So I recommend you install in Safe Mode.

There was little documentation of how the program works, but intermediate to advanced computer users should be able to figure it out.

Due to the lack of documentation and install problem, I would normally rate this 3 stars. But becuase there is almost no other product like it (that I've found), I added a star.

The hardware works great! I wish the app was as easy to use

**update**  Returned the item for the following reasons..
Unreliable when you need it the most.. Out of town and a continuous "loss of communication" every hour or so. Couldn't stop it because their whole site/server went down due to a software issue (as per manufacturer via email they sent me after they tried to send me their canned responses for my problem)
After I informed them that I have good service to the antenna, green light on device, other items in the exact same location with wifi working fine, new batteries and the external antenna hooked up from the beginning then they decided to fill me (and I'm assuming other customers).
It's a shame because I really liked the product but if you have an item that's there for added piece of mind for expensive/critical items like firearms, there really is no room for this type of issue. I'll search around for alternatives even if I have to build it myself

Nice addition to smart home. It seems to work as designed. Antenna long enough to get out of door and thin enough wire to not have an issue. Setup was not complicated and straightforward, the app has good points and it is quick on reporting directly to 2 phones. Sensitivity would be nice to be able to adj as I think it's not sensitive enough. Also when the app sends you an alarm for temp or humidity it would be nice to know the actual number relayed to you in the notification as I don't always remember what I set them for(I had to take extra time to revisit the app settings to see what I set them for)..
Also the weekly notifications would be nice if they gave you a summary of your recent notifications.
All in all, it's a very useful tool to keep track of what's going on with a safe.

Things I liked:

Wired - No need to charge the stand and eat up batteries on my phone with bluetooth. (this was also an issue, as described below)
Sturdy - The stick, when extended, remained firm with no give and felt very solid.
Grip - Felt nice in the had. Wrist strap made me feel safe. Carabiner was a nice touch to clip it to my bag when not in use, and remained easily accessible.
Phone Holder - Held phone, even with case on (Galaxy S6 with Spigen Card Slot case) reasonably well. I shook it around a few times and made sure the phone wouldn't drop out before I took it out for normal use.
Compact - Folds down to a fairly compact size and fit nicely in my backpack.

Things I didn't like (and why I gave it 3 starts):

Wired - My biggest issue was with the plug. Inserting it into the headphone jack, I had to plug it in really hard to get it to make proper contact. When switching from video (see comment below) to pictures, I spent a minute or so each time making sure it was plugged in right and did a test shot to be sure.
Video - If you shoot video with the plug in, you won't get sound. That's not unique to this pole and is an issue you'll experience with any wired selfie stick. To avoid this, you have to remove the plug, which isn't a huge deal until you have to plug it back in (see my previous comment about this).
Locking sections - Because of how the pole extends and locks, it takes some fiddling to get each section out. You eventually get the hang of it, though. I also found that I missed the last section several times and didn't fully extend the pole. There were a couple times when locking the pole that it rotated too far and the grip ended up backwards. My advice, be careful when locking or unlocking that you twist the right way so you don't go too far.

For the price, this is a pretty decent pole. I honestly thought about keeping it, but it was too much hassle fiddling with the plug to get it to work. Perhaps I got a bad unit, but this one's going back, sadly.

I did a lot of research at every competing product I could find in this space, and they ranged from roughly half the price of this one up to the hundreds of dollars. I needed one that worked for my Samsung S7 Edge droid and this one came out on top. Overall I am very happy, especially when I looked at some of the competing products and how much more they cost for less functionality.

The reason I think this is worth the price regardless of anything other feature is the vibrate reminder together with the daily goal of water intake. I have actually found myself annoyed saying it can't be time for more water already as it vibrated (and did a soft beep) at my desk, but sure enough it is. You can set this for different reminder times, and it is a great feature that has worked seamlessly so far for me.

Setup was easy, and all seemed great at first, but typical of other blue tooth devices there can be annoying connection issues over time, and likely just some more development needed on the app. I am not always able to readily sync, and sometimes I have to go to turn the device off from the phone (where it does sync) to get it to sync the water quantities back to the app.

The measurement of the water so far seems pretty close, but because of some of the sync issues it isn't obvious yet. A few times I felt like it seemed off, but I need to test more. Regardless, for a product category that seems to be seriously lacking this has been a great surprise. And I am a regular paying customer - not given a discount to review.

Let me say first, that I definitely recommend this product. There are things I really love about it, and things I think could be better.

The picture is wonderful, detailed and clear, and blu-rays and DVDs load relatively quickly. If you have a DVD or blu-ray in the device, it automatically defaults to this option and begins to play, and although this seems pretty standard, turning on the player will also turn on your TV when hooked up through an HDMI channel.

Internet is easy to set up. I was able to basically turn on the player, put in my password, and it was ready to go. However, this is where it gets tricky; the applications (such as Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Instant Video) seem buried. You have to go to "network" and then "network providers" to find them. I have a similar player by Sony, and these apps are on the home screen and easily found. It took a little digging for me to find them on this player. However, once you get the hang of it, it is not too difficult, and if you are really only going to stream Netflix, there is a Netflix button on the remote that will take you straight to that app. I personally wish there was a button for Amazon Instant Video as I use that app more often.

Speaking of Amazon Instant Video, I really liked the search feature. When you are searching for a title, you can put in the first few letters, and it gives you a list of choices which makes it easy to find what you are looking for. However, if you have a watch list on Amazon Instant Video, there is no option to access that, which I found problematic. Compared to my Sony blu-ray player, I like the search feature better on this player, but you can access your watch list on the Sony one. I do wish that Panasonic or Sony would take a look at each other's features and combine them somehow to make the best player ever.

There is an option to have a profile for each user. Maybe I am missing something, but I think you can only set the background color for each person which seems silly to me. If I could give each person a home screen (such as Amazon Video for me and Netflix for my daughter), then it would seem much more useful.

Others mentioned ads. On the apps page, I did notice an ad in the upper right corner. It did not bother me in the slightest. In fact, I had not noticed it at all until my husband pointed it out.

Overall, this is a great player, and I would most definitely purchase it and recommend it.

Have been using this for a month without any issues. Linked to my Ipad Mini 2.

Pros:  Easy to setup, lightweight, long battery charge (I have turned off the vibrating notifications), great price, very nice user interface.  I have found this to be accurate on calorie counts.  Sleep monitor is a very cool feature.

Cons: Getting it to sync from the App can be delayed and is not user friendly.  A button on the bottom bar saying "Sync" would be nice.  Friends with the more expensive Fitbit product claim that the MiFit is off upto 25% on step counts...I take that with a grain of salt as the calorie count is accurate.  User interface is in the "dreaded" metric system and printed instructions are in Chinese.  However the App setup is pretty easy (search for miFit on the Apple App Store).

Recommend:  Absolutely.  I have ordered 4 more bands and plan to give them out as gifts to family.  Have lost 5 pounds in one month through a moderate increase in physical activity and tracking food using MyFitnessTracker App on iOS.  It's really a simple formula folks...I wish you good luck having fun and staying fit.

Question::: Is Xiaomi the new Samsung??  If this product is any indication, I'm hoping they come out with more cool products at great prices.

I was initially unimpressed with this device, having used several other Polar and Fitbit products.  After 6 months of regular use, I would recommend this to a friend.  Not perfect, but for light to moderate activity, and daily wear I'm happy with it.
Pros: bright display, easily readable in direct sunlight; long battery life (with notifications disabled); waterproof for use swimming; durable unit (except wristband); fashionable look with interchangeable wrist bands; micro USB charging
Cons: Polar's apps are lacking in comparison with Fitbit (sleep tracking, activity encouragement); does not sync with My fitness pal (have to use a 3rd party app to get data to share); wristband needs to be replaced after 6 months; attachment for charging port cover is skimpy.
