Sensate Reviews

Yeah i love biohacking stuff but listen don’t waste your money on this device. Let’s be honest it’s so expensive. And listen to me right now. The vibrations are not any more magical or healing than you could get from a $10 massager from Walgreens. Use your head here.

And ALSO i have only had this thing for a year and the motor is already giving out and there is something clearly wrong with it. Seriously I don’t even use it that often and it’s already jacked up.
Also i hate the music and wish i could just use it without Sensate but that’s a personal thing.

I am continually asked to open a new account almost every time I use Sensate. It can't seem to remember that I have been using Sensate for over two years, and that I have an existing account. It is still happening. Hard to improve one's stress with a device and App, when trying to do so only creates more stress. Tried using just now and did it again. It has no record of my account. I will stop suggesting this device to others. A hassle to constantly have to create a new account to use this. The device works great when Sensate doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall.

Despite saying they would, this app now appears to have no intention of expanding the free track options included with the purchase of the this app. So that leaves you with a grand total of 13 or so tracks for all time unless you want to fork over even more money—as if paying $300+ for the this app itself weren’t enough. They can’t be bothered to expand the free tier at all while plugging their subscription model, of course, as that would undercut their goal of making even more money off of you. Shameful and ridiculous.

I don’t understand why it takes so long to “load” an already downloaded track to use. When I am fortunate enough to sneak away for half an hour to use Sensate , I’d like my time to go toward improving my mental health, not further stressing it. Beyond that, the track categories are unhelpful and vague. The categories are things like Space and Time, Sacred Spaces, and Somnus. I would find it much more useful if they were listed by certain intended outcomes or states of mind like: healthy digestion, easing anxiety, calming the mind, letting go, gaining focus, improving energy, winding down, etc.

The device is good and it has great potential. Sensate is lacking a lot. There are not many choices of meditations to choose from and they added 3 additional ones but want me to pay a monthly fee for the use of them. Not at all pleased about that! The choices are not explained well as far as what type of sound is used and the desired outcome. Also, other than one choice, you can’t change the duration of time that they play. For 8$ a month on the Expand app I get close to 100 choices that are clearly categorized and many with time options. For the price of this device, I expected something similar to the Expand app, without being asked to pay 8$ for 3 meditations per month. Luckily I am still within the return period. I hope the meditations available will be increased in number and with better descriptions.

For an expensive piece of kit, the this app hardware, Sensate is surprisingly lacking. Really basic and there are a only a few tracks to choose from. Using for almost one has half years same few tracks. Also, no way to keep tabs on the battery life or % left in the hardware. That would be a welcome addition to Sensate .
It needs an overhaul. Part of the experience of using this kit is Sensate and it needs to progress if people are to shell out this king of money.

I like the device, it’s easy to use, I particularly like that I use it 10 mins every day and have only had to charge once. It is expensive and what is frustrating is after spending a lot of money on the device you then have to deal with an App with so many locked tracks you have to pay for, and very few “free” tracks. And also it’s glitchy, I often try and run a 10 minute version of the one track I like (thankfully I really like it) and it keeps running the 20 minute version despite restarting several times. This is annoying when you only have 10 minute to spend and means you have to stop the track suddenly mid way through. I’ve asked for help explaining my issues and received no help. Just been directed to put my issues into a Google document, even though I’ve already explained them. So I can recommend this app, sort of, with these caveats.

It takes 10+ minutes to even get the thing to start and if you are trying to squeeze in a quick session or trying to calm your mind to get to sleep-its great when it works but it should link to phone press start and go…not 4-10 minutes to transfer carefully curated session which is the same as the last one.
Perhaps if this is corrected I’ll update this review.

this app does not provide anywhere near enough meditative tracks to justify the expense of the device AND a Plus subscription. I’m truly shocked by this. As far as the effect of the device itself I’m still assessing the possible benefits. I would not recommend buying the device or the Plus membership until this app gets its act together and provides substantially more meditation recordings.

Love my this app device it does help to get me in meditation state & works well with no issues. My only complaint is the lack of updates, I had it for almost a year & the number of audio options is the same. No updates to add new audio clips & the existing ones get old if you use it everyday day. There seems to be no development from the team which is disappointing.

Sensate design itself looks like it’s from the early 2000’s, their UX UI designer needs to be fired. And there’s barely any music options - most of them are annoying and give me more anxiety. The only thing I can tolerate is the Nature one since it’s the least offensive. For this expensive device, I expected a better app and user experience. Please update this hideous app and bring it to 2022 standards!

My this app has been great, it really seems to help me. However, I’m tired of the songs and wish I could choose 5 and 15 minute options. I also feel all the songs should allow you to choose how long you want to use them, as my favorite one if only 10 minutes long. Overall, I recommend, but I’m disappointed that the developers have done nothing more in the full 1.5 years that I’ve had it.

Great too little to choose from…
idea, I like the feeling (actually like the drumming sensation better than the vibrations), but VERY little to work with!😰 For 3 HUNDRED DOLLARS ($300), 13 different Tracks, (which I’ve listened to all in just a few days so already bored with them), most only 10 min duration, and most are not even intense enough at highest intensity, is just not worth the money. And to get just a few more tracks I’d have to already pay more? That’s just a crime! None of this was mentioned up front so, unless I hear (very soon) that there will be MANY more choices, I will have to ask for my money back, and wait til someone else does it better… Very sad as had really hoped this would be a great help for my severe Anxiety!

So first, I bought the device because it supposedly helps improve HRV balance. And it DOES. No question. And Sensate is OK but there is one thing I don't like about it and one thing I hate about it. I wish they gave more information about the tracks. Some seem to be sleep oriented from the title it accompanying graphic. But that's a guess. What I hate is if I forget to put my phone in airplane mode and I get a call then my session is not paused. It's stopped. Can't restart. Have to start all over again. They need to fix that.

I got it through their Indigogo campaign since it seemed to be simple to use yet effective. Additionally, this came endorsed by Dave Asprey so I decided to support their campaign. Little did I know how amazing this little tool is to relax and recharge during these challenging times!
Sensate is easy to use and entire process is very intuitive! Well done team this app 💝

I was a serious doubter. One who has tried everything to get more sleep, more easily relax and try to teach myself to “meditate.” Nothing has worked before this app. I’m telling everyone I know about it. Not only am I sleeping more, but when I use it before bed, I spend more time in deep sleep and feel so much more rested.

After years of nervous system deregulation from way too much stress: brutal long covid including pain, gut issues, insomnia, panic attacks, tremors, brain fog, fatigue…and then three close friends dying, and divorce…this really helped soothe me. I use it to fall asleep at night. I just love the sensation and sound track. It’s one of my tools to rebuild my regulation. In other words-I really like it.

This changed my life. I tried the EMS vagus nerve stimulators and I didn't like the feeling. This is a wonderful experience. I cannot describe it, you just have to try it yourself. I'm much more calm. I sleep better. I can do a 10 minute session before an appointment with my client. I love this product!

Dealing with so much stress and looking for ways to cope- tried meditation, exercise, sauna, journaling. But the biggest improvement came once my this app 2 arrived. I get such a relief from the stress, such a calm and peaceful feeling. It’s what’s gotten me through a very difficult period.

I’ve had my this app for several years and it is used twice a day every day! I have never had an issue until this weekend when I updated. I had difficulty and sent a message to the this app team. The response ans solution was in my inbox this morning. So easy to fix the problem😎
