Requirement to carry the app you pay for that's questionable
I purchased the ultra pod 4. Very spendy. In order to keep the warranty 8 sleep requires you have their app to the tune of $199-$399 annually. I personally have no reason to believe the stats are accurate. I spoke with a rep when the app said it took me 1 minute to fall asleep. That nite I had a difficult time falling asleep so likely closer to 1 hour. I asked rep how I was supposed to trust any of the stats as a result. I was told oh well that's the one stat we're having issues with. Really? What are the things measured to determine any of the stats. Seems they'd share several of the same measurements ie respiration, heart rate etc. I was dismissed. Your warranty is no good if you do not carry the app for the first 2 years and my understanding is any upgrades made to the pod's functionality are not received either. Hardly seems right if they truly stand behind their product. It will be 2 years this Aug at which time I'll be canceling the app. Why pay several hundred dollars for an app you're unable to trust. I wouldn't spent 8k on an unreliable product again. I was at a retreat recently and more that 1 person said the app requirement is why they will not purchase an 8 sleep. Makes sense to me!
