App Profile: AirBands

What’s the point of these blood flow restriction cuffs if the app will never load and if miraculously after 30 minutes you get it to work, it disconnects from the cuffs after a few reps. Absolute trash of an app.

The app is terrible, underdeveloped and has major issues. The biggest issue being it doesn’t connect or detect the BFR cuffs via Bluetooth making the cuffs completely useless. Technical support at VALD makes things worse by asking if your Bluetooth is turned on even after telling them the issue is not my Bluetooth on the new iPhone 13 pro I use as it connects just fine to my Garmin watch, wireless headphones (2 pairs), Bose speaker and the Bluetooth on my truck all with no issues. Open the AirBands app and it repeatedly says “scanning” for the cuffs. Saga fitness should drop this app developer (VALD) and get a new one. Very disappointing and frustrating after paying for a premium product, thinking you’re going to get a premium product and then the app to control the cuffs doesn’t work.

When everything works, you get an amazing workout. But it’s only about 10% of the time that the bands inflate without issues. On some days you’ll get them working after 2-3 tries (7-10 minutes of frustration); on other days you won’t get them working at all. I really wanted to love these bands. But spending 20 minutes on getting the bands to inflate for each set is not my idea of a good workout. Sorry, returning the bands for a refund.
