Hi Ivoaktive, it’s Alessandro from Humon.io here.

I didn’t see anything on rules regarding solicitation in the comments, so I hope me making this post is alright.

We would be happy to help any BSX users who are frustrated by the discontinuation switch to using the Humon Hex by giving them $100 OFF. See bit.ly/2iz0xfh .

the Hex is able to identify your lactate threshold and prescribes the perfect pace and workout intensities in real-time thanks to personalized, colored feedback. It has been clinically validated, works with iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth and connects to Garmin watch and Wahoo bike computers via ANT+. We’ll be shipping our first units in December!

“Gadgets & Wearables”? How about “Smoke & Mirrors” for this one? LVL has taken thousands of Kickstarter supporters for the ride of their life, making away with a small fortune in return for absolutely nothing. No actual product, and a timeline that’s turned out to be pure conjecture. “No guarantees when it comes to crowdfunding” — absolutely true, and we all knew & accepted that going in. But there’s a difference between a developer coming up short on delivering while trying, and the stunt that LVL pulled by continuing to claim all through the spring of ’17 that they were, “oh so close to shipping” — only to now own up to the fact that it’ll be AT LEAST a year before we see anything. Who knows what we’ll actually see by then, since it’s become quite clear that the “product” that they proudly claimed to only need $50K to finish off (they got closer to $1.5M in funding) doesn’t really exist in practice. No idea what they’ve actually spent our $1.5M on — clearly not development or production, otherwise they’d be delivering as promised.

Those who own BSX is just liars. Don’t believe anything they said. Also I will never buy any more Samsung product since they stand there doing nothing.

At this point in time, it does indeed look like the LVL project used KS to fraudulently obtain funds. While backing any project on Kickstarter does come with a level of risk, that’s the nature of it, it is clear that BSX very blatantly flaunted the rules, fabricated much of their original proposition and went into it knowing all too well what they were doing.

There are now also questions that need to be asked of Kickstarter itself, especially seeing how they ‘released’ a project that broke a number of core rules upfront..

Fraud. Did not deliver LVL, pulled back BSX.

Here another “nice” news from this company. They planned to discontinue the platform and support for their BSX insight next sommer (https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2016/01/insight-depth-review.html/comment-page-1#comment-2419024). This device was released just in November 2015. I bought ist last year for 500 $. It’s useless without their platform. Another indication that this company is fraud!

It’s a fraud company that used backers money from Kickstarter to sell the idea to Samsung. Shame. Don’t support this company.

Total fraud, they claimed to have a fully working prototype and people accordingly backed them on kickstarter. Now they ask people to wait another year because they scraped everything and are starting over. They only used kickstarter funds as a way to attract bigger investors. SHAME on them.

They lied about everything in their Kickstarter campaign. They haven’t delivered the device, and have predicted another year before they have a working device.
