FunDo Pro Reviews

Keeps saying my device is illegal and disconnects

Waste of time! FunDoPro doesn’t truly sync. Just looks like it does.

Everything was just fine until I could not connect it to Bluetooth. Then when I went to charge it the adapter that goes into the watch wasn’t even the same shape, I couldn’t not even get it half in. I assumed there was an adapter that I dropped, but I never found one. 1 out of 5 stars, don’t recommend buying this. Not worth the frustration.

.

Got the smart watch for Christmas and followed all instructions to the letter. Charged the watch, downloaded FunDoPro . Turned on the watch and made sure my Bluetooth was active. Opened the program and tapped add device and all I ever get is Bluetooth not active or no device found. Rebooted watch, rebooted phone, tried reinstalling app all to no avail. What a disappointment, was really hoping this watch was going to work for me, and wife was upset because she thought she had found the perfect gift.

Keep getting an error message that my device is illegal, and to use genuine. Well dumb🤬 I’m using the original and this the application y’all have that supposedly work with the watch. Never again will I purchase anything from these people.

Everything was fine until I recently updated to the new app. I now am unable to sync the watch to FunDoPro getting “illegal device” notification. Watch is now useless. My bad… you get what you pay for.

Please upgrade the application

FunDoPro is a joke I’ve tried several different times trying to sync my watch and all I get is illegal device I will never recommend this crap to anyone

App keeps saying “Illegal device, please use genuine” even though it was working before. Does not work at all. Don’t download or buy their devices.

FunDoPro does not work, it keeps saying illegal device, even though I’ve had my watch for almost a year now.

Program has never worked properly and always says “illegal device.”

Still getting the illegal device message. Can’t use my watch anymore.

Worked well for the xr now I have to discard this smart watch because it’s not compatible with the iPhone 12

It does NOT WORK. It pairs with iPhone but when try to text it says “Currently not support”.

Like other reviews I get the same message that my device is illegal and not genuine. I bought two devices and I get the same message on both. I do not recommend the purchase of these devices.

I was so excited to use my new fitness band. I synced it with my phone and it was working great. It rang for calls and buzzed for text messages. It sent my readings for my steps, my blood pressure, my heart rate and my o2 level to my phone. Then it happened. My phone would ring but my band did nothing. I was no longer getting readings to my phone from my band. I looked at the band to see why and found out that it was no longer synced with my phone. I have to resync it everyday if I want it to work with my phone. Now I only sync it after I charge it. It’s a great concept, if it would only work all the time. Sad in California.

Tried installing and reinstalling and App says device disconnected. My Bluetooth says it is connected. App cannot find my device.
This needs to be fixed.

When I first got FunDoPro it seemed to have a few issues but I’m not sure if that is any fault of my older phone, the fact that it was droid , FunDoPro or my watch. I made the transition from Droid to iPhone and the issues I was having seem to be pretty well hammered out for my current phone’s compatibility. I’m currently running the 8+ and I’m having a much better experience. The watch syncs up much better and doesn’t bog down my battery or slow my phone in any way. Some app features seem to be having some minor kinks though, but they are things I can over look. The watch had the basics that I wanted. A bright touch screen and hands free time checking in addition to a nifty LED flashlight. I wasn’t looking for anything fancy or any bells and whistles. Just a low price smart watch. I wasn’t particularly interested in any fitness tracking features of any watch but after playing around found it to be kinda cool. Over all it gets the job done that I wanted.

My watch is working with Bluetooth and FunDoPro I think that app that the problems is a user issue not FunDoPro 😎

This watch just doesn’t have the software to be compatible with a Fitbit or other versions of the Fitbit. Nice watch, but for a smart watch it’s lacking. Until the software is upgraded to support the capabilities of this watch I wouldn’t recommend buying it. The sleep monitor is inaccurate.
The military tone can’t be changed to 12 hour time
The step counter shows me active when at the same time I show to be in a deep sleep.
Heart rate is iffy at best.
BP is about like the heart rate
The sleep time record only going from 9 pm until 9 am pretty much just doesn’t work at all. I don’t believe any of the recorded sleep time. Probably because I was sitting and drinking coffee one morning and it showed I was in a deep sleep. Hmmmm. Fix the software and maybe it will work better.
And also it will NOT upgrade the firmware no matter what I do! FunDoPro and the watch both are a waste of time and money and data storage on my phone. Don’t waste your time with it.

ETA: I lied, it’s back to unsyncing and my settings and alarms disappearing and needing to be reset. I love my watch, but FunDoPro is so frustrating, if it doesn’t get fixed, I guess it’s onto finding a better watch.
Well now at least the alarms don’t disappear randomly, but my notifications for call, messages, and everything else keep turning off and then I have to keep clicking them back on again, and they are turning off WAY MORE frequently than before FunDoPro update. That’s one of the main reasons I bought my watch was for the notifications, and they keep turning off, please fix this!!!

It was okay for the bare minimum for a while. You have to actually open FunDoPro for it to sinc and if you open it at 12:01 AM then ALL the data and stats from the previous day is lost. Currently, I can’t open FunDoPro . It is constantly crashing as soon as it opens. The alarms don’t always go off (I set them then watched my watch until after the time I set). When I go to update my watch it wipes all information and doesn’t update saying it’s ready to update. It messed up once and my watch was UNUSABLE and it took me an hour to try to figure out how to end the endless looping of it connecting to my phone without being accepted or updated.

I got the e watch from Christmas from my husband. I got it December 26th and it only has done half of what it is suppose to do!! Most of the time it is not connected to my iPhone 7 and ecg and heart rate is the same! Can not get messages on watch. Suppose to be able to check blood pressure and other things but don’t have that either. Have to charge it two times a day even with pier saver on. Does not stay synced so doesn’t keep any information from day or days before. So it is great for knowing the time but can get cheaper watches. Also not sure if you can change the band or not so if it happens to wear out you just throw the whole thing away. White band gets dirty really fast and very hard to clean!!!

My dad gave me my smart watch as a present and I don’t have the heart to tell him he wasted his money. FunDoPro won’t sync with my watch. It gets to step 4/5 on the sync and then just stops. I’ve tried everything to reconnect the Bluetooth, but even when my phone and the watch say they are connected, FunDoPro still won’t sync. FunDoPro won’t sync with my Apple Health app either. So basically, I can’t use any features on my watch except for the pedometer, and even then, I can’t track anything over time. Every once in a blue moon, my watch will vibrate 30 times with all the notifications that it hasn’t been receiving, but that is short lived. Even when I try to sync my watch when there are signs that the connection is working, the sync fails. Useless.

FunDoPro is ok. I previously had a Fitbit and liked that app better. Biggest complaints are when you have it set to alert for a phone call it keeps vibrating after you answer the call.
For all notifications you also have to manually select it to notify you daily. I would prefer it to save my selection and be done w it. You can’t track your heart rate all the time. There is basically a lot that could be improved on w FunDoPro or the product

One of the main reasons I purchased this was to also track my sleep. You have better odds at Vegas for that feature to work

I was really hopeful when I first got my smart watch band. Unfortunately it has disappointments.
The sleep mode for my band has never worked. I am not happy that there’s only certain hours it will monitor sleep instead of all hours. Some people don’t sleep “normal” hours.
The recent updates have wiped my past history on my band and I have to reset all my settings after each update, which is frustrating. I am not too happy about that either.
It tells me the time, although I have to keep putting it back on my view preference almost daily. The best thing it does is keep track of my steps.

I have another watch that uses HBand app. The watch is very similar to this watch although it does not have a O2 or EKG. That being said the other watch plus FunDoPro are marvelous. The best thing about that watch is it will continuously monitor blood pressure and beats per minute of your heart without you having to do it yourself. It gives you a nice running indication of what your blood pressure is during the day.

It’s very disappointing that this watch and app will not do the same thing you have to take the time out to stop and measure blood pressure yourself something that I find they do not have time to stop and do during the day. I’m sure it would not be hard to make FunDoPro and the watch sink every 45 minutes just like the other watch in FunDoPro . You would have a winner if you did that.

Also. I Cannot get this watch to update the firmware I’ve tried several times.

Very user friendly, intuitive and provides a lot of easy to understand health data.
It has graphs and reports, hourly, daily, monthly, statistics, etc...
In addition, tou can change some settings for the watch from FunDoPro , and set specific days of the week alarms and reminders.
So, for a fairly inexpensive smart watch, it is a great deal to get all this information summarized in FunDoPro. Also, the Bluetooth communication is perfect. The watch and phone stay connected and have no problem reconnecting if they were separated.

The bad:
the synchronization between the watch and FunDoPro is not working properly. The watch data pushed to FunDoPro is not always correct and FunDoPro sending the new settings or alarms for the watch are not always acknowledged by the watch.
In clear, here are two examples:
1- I set an alarm from FunDoPro , sync data with the watch and 50% of the time, the alarm won’t go off and if I check the alarm again on FunDoPro , it is erased.
2- I walked 9000 steps today and when I sync, FunDoPro tells me I did only 3000. Then I sync it again with the watch and it gives the right 9000 steps.
3- the sleep monitor data from the watch really can be transferred to FunDoPro , which super frustrating, because sleep is important for me and I like to monitor it through the week.

These are bugs which should be addressed, because FunDoPro has a LOT of potential, over wise.
Thanks.

My watch has managed to go 8 or 9 days without charging. When I get a phone call, the name or number doesn’t register. The same goes on the music setting on the watch. When the phone is separated from the phone for more than 10 minutes, all the marked fields needs to reset such as alarm, texting notification, other apps to push messages, and etc. these features could be corrected, I think it would be cool. Well for starters😁

There aren’t clear instructions to use FunDoPro . I keep getting it an error message not connected to Bluetooth but when I look in the settings it’s connected. Also had the program disconnect and freeze trying to go from sleep to heart. Other than the the freezing and disconnecting problems not having clear instructions for using FunDoPro unless some of features are for show only.

The battery lasts forever and notifications work even with my iPhone. I love the ability to do ECG and BP, blood oxygen, though I don’t know how accurate it is. I also wonder if the step count is accurate as more steps seem to accumulate comparing the results to MapMyWalk on my phone. For $27 though, this seems to have been well worth it! It does record sleep though sometimes again I’m not sure about accuracy and watch occasionally randomly resets—but the battery! I know this is about FunDoPro which seems to have good functionality pairing with the Microwear L8.

The application still needs more time to mature, more customizations should be allowed and auto sleep detection would be nice. The interface is a little sensitive sometime it will detect my finger before it even touches the watch. I like it so far and might even recommend open sourcing the firmware and app to get great features benefits quickly.

Hello I am a cancer survival, however the medication I have to take for five years one of the side affects is it can cause damage to my heart. Having the “Fundo” I am able to keep track of my heart rate, the steps I am taking keeping me reminded of my water intake, it also keep me inform when I have a message, & phone calls without disturbing others. And the price was amazing!!

Thanks

Watch works fine, pairs easily with my phone. App needs work though. Biggest problem is the useless battery Which barely lasts a day. On the whole I wouldn't buy again .

My app won't sync with my phone since the app updated, any advice?

L8 watch worked with Fundo when I bought it one year ago. Now gives illegal message and won’t connect to Fundo Pro. Possibly a ploy to buy more cheap watches in the hope that a new watch might actually be “Legal “. It is time for the Chinese Software Writers to get to grip with the correct English meanings. The term “compatible with” rather than “Illegal” would be more appropriate. However, that would put the onus on the Fundo programmers for writing a program which doesn’t actually work with the watch. The best place for my scrapped watch in in the wastebin.

Hello, I have the L5, since you upgraded the app, when trying to sync, it tells me that it is an illegal device. Do you have any recomendation/solution, or the watch now is useless?? Please reply. Thanks

can't complain about the watch but since they Iupgraded the app, it tells me that it is an illegal device. I wrote the company and they sent me a new watch free of charge. The app still tells me that the watch is an illegal device. GRRRRR I've downloaded an older version of the app ...still doing the same thing. Can anyone fix this issue?

I’m in Canada now and I cannot download the fundo pro app , it showed that this app is currently not available in your region and country. I changed different region on my iPhone and still have the same problem. What should I do now?

Az óra önállóan nem mér, az alkalmazásból nem lehet beállítani, hogy mikor mérjen.

If you’re having connection problems with Fundo Pro, then uninstall then locate an apk type copy of Fundo that’s NOT the pro version, then your connection should work and so should your sync to your mobile from your watch.
