Not the best lately We have emailed about this problem. The app keeps disconnecting and says there is a bug on the app. Please fix this bug! The problem has been going on for months and even emailing and reporting it, doesn't seem to get you any help! Please please sort this out!

Customer service is extremely poor. Only communication is through email and takes days for any resolve ... which there hasn't been. The device disconnects ALL. THE. TIME. I even bought a new phone thinking that may be the reason, it's not. Now, the memory is full, and it won't download to the app to free space. 2 hours is a lie!! It's been almost 8 hours, and it still sits at 1% memory. I'm ready for a replacement because the device doesn't work or I want a full refund.
