“Device seems to work well and is fairly consistent. First few times I did a BAC test, it failed apparently because I wasn't breathing right (not quickly enough). The instructions were vague, although better than a competitive device (Breeze). The measurement clearly depends on how long you hold your breath and how fast you breathe. It's annoying that it needs to "warm up" for like 15 seconds even if you just did a test. (Doing it with friends, so have to wait each time.) Not sure if that's really a technical requirement or if it is just sloppy UX design.
App is very basic and a little unintuitive to navigate. You get to "guess your BAC" which seems like it's built as a core feature, but I'd like to turn it off and just make the whole process faster.”
“I've had this for a few weeks now and I have learned a tremendous amount about how alcohol affects me in various situations. It's been fun making up experiments. Also a bonus to know when I've had enough so the next day will not be a problem. The prediction to becoming sober feature has been right on. The only thing I disagree with is that to track your habits, you have to agree to send your data anonymously. It's not a big deal really but for legal reasons I am a little wary about that. I wish you could save your results on your device directly. But that's not enough to bring down the rating! I can always just write it down of course.
This thing is great. Not only may it save a life one day, it's honestly kind of fun. Become a more responsible drinker and get one!”
“I bought this unit a month ago to replace the BACtrack Vio which had QC issues and would shut down the unit upon requesting a test.
The BACtrack Mobile is a far cry from the Vio and worth the extra when you're about to make a critical decision by assessing you BAC before turning the key. The tests are consistant and accurate as measured against a (LEO) friend's device carried in the line of duty.”
“Bought mine about a month ago, and it got lost in the mail. When I contacted the company, they were quick to send a replacement out, and fix the problem. The customer service from these people was great!
When I finally got to try it out, I was very impressed by the features. Letting me know when I'd be sober is a super handy feature! I love the product, I take it everywhere I go! Would recommend this to anyone, you'll fall in love with it :)”
