5 ★ I love backbone! It makes me more aware of my posture.

2 ★ Update: They finally updated the app. I quit using it (and the device) months ago but happened to check by chance (company bombed without completing all their orders - no surprise at this point). There are training exercises now but the "start" button doesn't load for 2 of the 4 offered excercises so I can't unlock any more. My rating for this product/app just keeps dropping and dropping... Original review: Not very impressed with it so far. You can only use the app with your backbone (some non-hardware exercises might have been a nice consolation to the repeated pushback of the delivery date). Other exercises were promised (as early as 5 months ago) but have yet to be delivered (apparently coming in the next version of the app...whenever that will be). The backbone is not hidden under any shirt I've worn with it so far (I'm guessing only close neckline shirts really conceal it) and when it goes off while you're talking to somebody they definitely notice. I suppose I could tamper with the settings some, but so far I find that it goes off if you move your arms too much even if you're still maintaining good posture and doesn't notice you slouching as long as you don't go sideways too much (like if your shoulders slump). Also I have to keep pushing the battery pack back into it's little pocket and the app doesn't seem to be updating my daily streak properly (whether it's a new calendar day or a full 24 hours since the last time I used it). Since that's one of the few things it does one might hope for at least that to work properly. Looking forward to improvements.

1 ★ I was one of the Kickstarter backers. Bought 2 Backbones, waited almost a year for them, both were defective (my phone did not recognize the modules most of the time). I was told to send them back and I'd receive a refund. I returned them but did not receive a refund. Don't waste your money on these. Unscrupulous company. No real customer service.

2 ★ I was really excited about the back bone. Finally a solution to help me with my bad posture. I wait patiently for a year and a half to receive my back bone. And then I downloaded the app. Probably one of the most boring app I used. No tools, no stats, no tutorials video, no diversity of exercices, nothing to keep me going on. Only a boring timer... I was expecting a lot more "take me by the hand and show me how to do it". with this I cannot even be sure that I do the right posture. I hope major update will come soon because right now this app and device are really useless to me. Stay straight for 5 minutes a day and that will probably save you some money. Plus sometimes (1 times each 7 or 8) the app crash and the timer doesn't ring Again hope for major updates.

1 ★ The app requires account creation and login before you can use any of the features. Please provide the ability to set up and control the backbone device without an account.

3 ★ Application is good, but coul be better. For example it woud be nice to have history button, where you could see your progress (weekly, monthly). Now app tracks your posture only when in session, but it could track whole day (if you could set your sleep/wake time).

4 ★ Simple and straightforward. It's nice that the app shows you the charge level of the battery. As another reviewer mentioned, entering the birthdate is a little ridiculous if you were born anytime before 1995. A more normal interface for choosing the date would be appreciated by many people, I think.

4 ★ The app is working fine right now as a first iteration to accompany the backbone. I'm sure more improvements will follow, I'd very much like to see more historical data to see improvement. The only gamification now is a daily streak. Right out of the box I've started using it and seeing how long I could do a session for, it'd be great to get feedback on that early progress from the first use.

4 ★ Great simple and straightforward app. Would have given it 5 stars if it ran in the background while I used my phone as I have some issues multitasking while in a session. Overall I think this will help my posture and the 3 times I've used it I already feel myself autocorrecting my posture to some degree.

4 ★ Setting up date of birth was annoying. I had to back the calendar up by more than 250 [!] months from the preprogrammed starting date in 1999 (some of us are genX or older...). How about just letting people input the numbers or provide dropdown lists as with the other inputs

4 ★ App does what it's meant to. However doesn't keep historical data to view. Thus means I can't see if I'm improving etc. Had a couple of crashes but nothing to bother me. Still waiting for the videos and exercises. I expected these to be here from day 1 considering how late it was and how long ago you mentioned and showed concept videos for.

5 ★ This is awesome, thanks to this, I could improve posture and overcome lower back pain

5 ★ simple but effective

5 ★ Simple but effective

5 ★ For now, you can only use this App with the Backbone hardware (which I highly suggest purchasing!) It's an excellent way to improve posture! (Eventually, some very helpful posture improving exercises which don't require the hardware will be added.)
