This is a review about the product/item.Pros/positives: I’ve been using it for approximately 1 month now and it has saved me a tremendous amount of time especially when I’m at my busiest. It’s simple and easy to assemble and start walking/shaking for you. For the price I say it’s worth it. I use an Apple 15 phone and it works. [Android users may have a different experience.] I also used it on my Samsung phone and it also works. The item is lightweight and doesn’t bring unnecessary excess weight when you’re traveling around with it.Quick disassembly and reassembling allows me to use it on the go as I’m always traveling. Just be careful with the plastic stands that hold the phone. Careful reassembling should be taken into account not to damage the stands that hold the phone. My phones are small size and they work. I don’t recommend oversized/large phones as they may not fit into the holder.Cons/negatives: Hard plastic item so it’s fragile and can break/damage easily. Take care of this item. My first item was damaged on the hinge that is connected to the phone holder that is swinging as I accidently dropped the item and it broke. Having the circle metal “o” bearing is vital for this device to operate and if that piece is missing or not operating the phone won’t swing and you cannot accumulate steps. Also that black clip that keeps the ring intact must not be damaged otherwise it won’t operate. It’ll need to be replaced.Overall, I give it a 5 star rating [an “A” letter grade]. Because my first item was damaged Amazon immediately replaced it at no cost to me and they shipped it immediately for free so the wait time was short. They even allowed me to have it shipped to the Amazon Locker box so it made it even more quick and convenient for me to pick-up the item. I don’t want my shipment left at the door for someone/anyone to come by and steal it which will force me to reorder the item again and have to hear Amazon explain why the item was or NOT shipped, etc.. I don’t want to deal with the unnecessary hassle.Recommendations to Amazon and or merchant: I recommend strengthening the plastic hinge that connects and hooks the “O” ring for the phone holder.

First off, this product works. Like, REALLY WORKS. In the month and a half that I've been using it, I have "walked" around 2000 km, with an average of about 18-22 km per hour, and I've hatched over 400 eggs in that time. However, it does take some effort to get it working at 100%, so if you're on an Android (I use a Galaxy Note 10+) and you're having trouble getting the same results that I am, try this:1. Calibrate your phone's gyroscopeThis may be an option in your phone settings, or if your phone is like mine and doesn't have that option in the settings, open the phone app and dial *#0*#. This will open a "secret" developer diagnostic and settings menu. Select the option labeled "Sensor," lay your phone down flat on a table and then select "GYRO SELF TEST" under OIS GYRO (the second one, not the first one). This should reset your gyroscope.2. Turn on "Adventure Sync" in the PokemonGo AppI also turned off "Battery Saver," but I don't know if this actually makes any difference.3. Download the Google Fit App (or any other supported step-tracking app)Go into the Google Fit App settings and select "Manage Connected Apps" and connect the PokemonGo App to your Google Fit App. I also changed my account profile height to 8'11", but I don't know if this actually makes a difference or not.4. Turn off GPS location tracking on your phoneYou should be able to do this in the drag down menu at the top of your home screen. You can also set your phone to airplane mode, but this will obviously block all incoming and outgoing calls and messages, so if you need to use your phone, just turn off the location tracking portion. I also turn off the screen rotate option, just in case the screen rotates while the phone is in the cradle and messes with the app's distance tracking. I've also found that the PokemonGo App updates your Adventure Sync distance quicker if you leave Wifi turned on at all times during this process (this will not mess with the location in either App).5. Give your buddy candy and put your eggs incubators and then close the app completely (do not leave it running in the background)To maximize the number of eggs I can hatch, I've added a bunch of people to my friends list using the r/PokemonGoFriends subreddit. You don't even need to buy any incubators, just write down the time it takes for 2km, 5km, 7km, 10km and 12km eggs to hatch in the free incubator and then set a timer so that you know when to take your phone out of the cradle and put a new egg in.6. Track a workout in the Google Fit App, then put your phone in the cradle and get it rockingI put my phone in the cradle upside down and with the screen facing the cradle (again, I don't know if this makes a difference, but it does seem to give me the best results).7. Let the phone rock in the cradle for about 30 minutes to get a baseline of how quickly you're "walking"After 30 minutes, take your phone out and open the PokemonGo App (DO NOT TURN ON LOCATION YET). Let the POGO app load and wait until a red warning bar at the top of the App says "GPS signal not found. (11)" Then turn your location back on and wait about 30 seconds for the data to transfer from Google Fit to POGO. If nothing happens after 30 seconds or so, close the app completely and then load back in and that should make it register your Google Fit distance.If you follow these steps, you should see the same results as me. However, I caution against over-doing it like I did at first. I think the electromagnet in my cradle is already wearing out (seems to rock a little slower now than it did when I first started using it), and when I would leave it running overnight I would get ~130 km, most of which were meaningless because my buddy had already run out of time around 60-70 km.
