“It took so long after the Kickstarter began to completion that the Apple Watch did everything the Nimb would do by the time I got it... so I never even took it out of the box. It was just a waste of money.”
“I honestly can't get the ring to work. I keep having to reboot and update the firmware, and I've kind of given up. I've wasted so much time trying to get it to work. The app seems to work great though.”
“I love the idea of Nimb, but the execution falls short as of right now.
My ring has connectivity issues. The ring disconnects periodically. The distance for connectivity is very short. It will disengage only one room away, and sometimes will not reconnect automatically.
I don’t want to give up on this project, because it has real promise, but right now, it is unreliable.
Customer service is great.
Things that could be better:
Connectivity
Distance from phone to ring increased
Waterproof
Adjustable is some way for a better fit”
“Everything about this was a disappointment. I waited for over a year after paying for the original Kickstarter. Nimb is very misleading as you have to pay for a separate ongoing service to have an emergency alert. Honestly, it's a very expensive but unattractive piece of jewelry that works less well than having location services enabled on your phone with your friends. I would never buy it again.”
“Nimb customer service is good and respond quickly. However, the actual ring is garbage. I went through two rings in 2 months, the first one was returned due to a charging button falling out. The second because I bumped my hand on a table and the ring cracked.
For the amount if money you pay, it is really not worth it.”
“The ring was too tight on me throughout the day and it was pretty bulky. Also, I had joined during the kickstarter and there was nothing stating there would be a monthly fee for the ring to work. I was pretty upset when that information came up once I finally received the ring. I decided to just share my location info with friends/family on my iPhone and I can press the on button 5x and it'll send them all a notice.”
