Bond Touch Reviews

by Lance Jenkins

My boyfriend bought both of ours 3 days ago while I’m writing this. The first day was completely fine, we loved it. Really helped us. We have been in a ldr for 6 months now, going to be 7. Day two rolls around and at the beginning of the day I’m starting to not get his taps unless I manually go into BondTouch . (Yes, it was running in the background.) If I did it was minutes late. Normally it had maybe 2 second of delay. Not bad at all. Later through the day it happened more and more. Hours and hours later of it charging we try to use them again. (Charged for 3 hours.) completely unusable. His won’t send but mine always send to him perfectly fine for some reason. We try again early early on day 3. His connects and disconnects, and then for two or three taps it’ll send on time, then the rest won’t or will arrive minutes and minutes late. This device decides when it wants to work. So frustrating that my boyfriend spent $100 on something that worked normal for ONE DAY. Do not buy this, it is defective. The idea was amazing and helped us our first day, and I loved the idea. But I’m seeing many reviews the same as mine. So until they get their stuff together, I do not suggest buying this product for $100. And I emailed them as well, so did my boyfriend. I forgot to mention that we re bonded, deleted and reinstalled BondTouch , tested them, reconnected them, everything we tried. Low battery mode was turned off for me, and so was Do Not Disturb.

I loved BondTouch and it was amazing but this new updated ruined everything even the design was better before I liked the darker and more clean design you had before. My issue is with the connectivity of the bracelet with this new app. My partner and I have 2 bracelets that we usually switch out while the other one charges and with the old app I could easily choose between one or the other and select one while I let the other charge and it worked perfectly. Now with the new app I can’t even connect if I’m within 10 feet of the other one and even then 10 feet isn’t enough I will go all the way to the other side of my house and I STILL can’t connect my bracelet because it says the other one is still in range THIS IS RIDICULOUS it worked perfectly before and you guys ruined it with your new crappy update and honestly the new design makes my eyes hurt. You had it working right before then you went and ruined it all and I’m not sure why you did that but please I beg you add back the support you had before where I could just choose between the ones in range so I don’t end up getting frustrated and just selling these things or throwing them away. Way too much hassle just to reconnect my bracelet when even if I’m all the way across my house I still can’t connect cause there’s “more than one within 10 ft” (I’m wayyyyy past 10ft on the other side of the house)

I realize this is a brand new product, and there are going to be bugs, but I can’t even get someone to respond to my messages for troubleshooting help. Not only did I have to wait over a month to get my bracelets, then I had to send my boyfriend his on the other side of the world because they won’t ship to two separate locations (even though these are intended for LDRs!) So now that it’s been over three months and we both finally have our bracelets, the stupid things won’t pair with each other! We both have them set up entirely on our phones but our invitations to each other go nowhere! What a colossal waste of $90! I should have saved my money and put it towards a plane ticket. My advice, have an entire team dedicated to customer service when you a launching a new product so that people can actually use and enjoy it.

Update: finally got these stupid things “working” but I use that term loosely. What is the point if you have to be j the application to receive touches?! Plus, you cannot review history. I could send 50 touches and my now fiancé would only ever know about the last one I sent. As soon as we are married we are getting Apple watches instead! My advice o anyone thinking about getting these, skip it or spend the extra money for 100xs the function and zero frustration!!

Hi, me and my friend bought these bracelets having high hopes. We were sadly disappointed that these didn’t work for us. It didn’t work in the beginning and when we finally got them working and paired after a few hours, it just went back to the same issue. My friends bracelet was working perfectly fine until a few minutes ago. And mine never really worked. For instance, if I’m in Instagram, I won’t be able to receive her touch. We can only receive a vibration from each other if we are in the bond touch app. At first this wasn’t an issue for my friend and I. My friend could receive my touches while she I was in another app or her phone was off. On the other hand, I couldn’t. I had to be in BondTouch at all times to receive even a notification. I would receive a touch from my friend only if I went in BondTouch . Even if it was in the background I wouldn’t receive a single thing. We are thinking of returning because this was a waste. If we rethink and get these useless things working that would be a joy. Or even if you can tell us what’s wrong. I’m sorry to send a negative review but I just wanted to let everybody thinking of buying one a heads up.

They do not work like the company claims it to. The help and feedback buttons do not work. Most of the time I can not log back into BondTouch and I and my partner have to delete it then re-download it back on to get it to work. Not to mention that the bands are only supposed work if you have BondTouch on, but part of the time that doesn’t even work!
They advertise that you can let you partner that you’re thinking about them or love them at any time from anywhere, however I have to have an app open 24/7 to get it to work and BondTouch doesn’t even work most of the time and it slows my stuff on my phone. And waist my data. I’m mad! Also I can’t even really contact the company on their website nor return it because there was no problem with the bands band we didn’t open it until after their stupid return mark. That mark we couldn’t even open it to be able to return it. How would we know it would be like this.

I’m just disappointed. This was an anniversary gift for my boyfriend because I’m always out of town for trips and stuff and he gets lonely. And it was just supposed to be a great way to connect us.

I got this for me and my boyfriend so we could have something little and to have a special connection with each other. This item is suppose to connect with people who have a distance, yet they don’t even have an option to mail it to two different locations. The bond touch itself works alright, for some reason mine dies really fast, even though it says it last 24 hours. Charged it 70% during the morning, by evening it was dead already and my partner doesn’t even has his yet so it’s not like I used it. BondTouch works okay, sometimes it disconnects randomly but I just close BondTouch and re-open it to fix the problem. Overall it is worth to buy if you can afford it.

EDIT: After my partner finally got his we have come across some problems. If you send at least 3 sessions of taps, you only receive one. It seems when you do multiple at a time it just sends the first session of taps you did. So if you wanted to spam someone, doesn’t really work. I’ve also figured out the battery on BondTouch must be off, it gives me a bunch of random percentages and now when I charge my bracelet it always flashes when charging. When I leave it charging over night I wake up to it still flashing.

Me and my boyfriend got a pair a little while ago. We absolutely loved them and used them a good amount. Without a doubt probably one of the best ways we keep in touch through the day. However, there are some issues. The battery life constantly fluctuates, going from 100% to 50% and then back up to 70% sometimes without even using them. The connection within BondTouch is also not the best when you’re too far from your device and you lose connection. It can be very hard to connect it back. I lost my first charger and the replacement for it is horrible. It barely connects and doesn’t charge when it is connected. Lastly, buzzes don’t go through to the other person every time. Sometimes the buzzes go through a little later than you’d expect but all in all it works. We still love to use them and it get the message across

My girlfriend and I recently got these and we both love the idea of it. It’s very cute and a nice thing to have. However, my main concern is about BondTouch . 1) it seems a bit stupid to have to leave BondTouch running in the background (which I’ve been doing) because most people like to swipe all their tabs away when they don’t use the phone to conserve battery. 2) I in fact accidentally swiped out of BondTouch out of habit, and when I went to go back in, BondTouch told me to tap twice to confirm... and I did that- the light of my choice coming up after I did, proving that I was tapping it twice correctly. However, the screen just stayed put- nothing happened. I cannot use BondTouch anymore since it won’t let me confirm even though I am clearly tapping it twice like it told me. Sometimes, when I would try to reopen BondTouch , for only half a second the normal screen where I can interact with BondTouch would pop up but then go straight back to the screen where it tells me to confirm. I’ve notice many similar reviews and this is obviously a big issue that needs to be fixed. I like the idea of this Bond thing, like I’ve said, but BondTouch especially seriously needs huge improvements.
Very infuriating and not worth $100 from these kinds of malfunctions on top of sometimes being very delayed, lying about the charge, not charging at all sometimes, being uncomfortable on the wrist for every day use, and much much more.

I understand that the this app company and overall the bracelets are still new and everything is still being developed as it goes but there are some serious bugs that need to be addressed. 1. Sometimes when I, or my boyfriend, send a touch the other will never receive it. Or it’ll take a day and then it won’t stop sending it so I’ll have to restart the bracelet to avoid getting the same pattern of buzzes every 4 seconds. 2. I’m pretty sure the battery percentage in BondTouch has no real meaning behind it, besides the bracelet being at 0% or 100% it could literally be anything. I had it go from 100% to 40% then back up to 80% without doing anything throughout the day. It’s also really frustrating when I plug it in to charge overnight and I come back to it in the morning and it’s even more dead than it was before. I ordered my this app bracelets back in July so I was able to get ahold of the leather bracelet model and I pity the people who have to deal with the silicone, I ordered the silicone as a bonus because I thought it would be lighter than the leather and the bracelet itself is just a horrible design honestly, I would recommend getting another bracelet similar to an apple watch’s or something because it’s such a bad design. Overall, I do really like the concept of the bracelets and it’s very helpful. I just think that these bugs need to be addressed as this company is beginning to boom with business. Thank you.

My boyfriend got us this so we can stay more in touch. I like it very much so far. 😌I do recommend this because it is very cute and a nice way to stay in touch. But we do have some problems. At first we had problems with getting it to connect to his phone. But his phone is cracked and shattered all in the back of his iphone 8 plus. His phone does have problems even just using his apple pay. He gets my touches instantly. But for me to get his touches its very delayed. I’ll get it 5-10 minutes later. Sometimes I won’t even get it at all until I open up BondTouch and I see the notification that he touched me like 30 min ago. I do keep BondTouch open at all times, I never refresh it or completely exit it out my tabs. Is it suppose to be like this? But overall I do love these bracelets. I just wish I his touches weren’t as delayed. 😕

These things are cute. They are super great ideas for you and your loved ones. I got one for me and my girlfriend and we love it. I don’t see what all the complaints are about. Just do your research before you buy. The only thing that I don’t like about these is BondTouch is buggy and doesn’t always link with the bracelet. As in when the bracelet says it’s ready to go and showing my color BondTouch is still like “tap twice” but like as long as the bracelet is doing what it’s supposed to what’s the problem? I’m sure they will release bug fixes eventually. Because of that issue they do get a 4 star from me. But it’s annoying seeing people rate it bad and complaining about it a lot when it’s their own fault for getting in over their heads. Shoulda watched reviews or even looked them up. I think it’s a good and fun product. Considering it’s not exactly cheaply made I would say that for two it’s worth it. It includes a charger and an app that’s free to work with. If you’re not sure about buying these. I recommend. Just make sure you know what you’re doing.

With the unfortunate events of the Covid-19, I purchased these bracelets for my girlfriend and I to ease the pain of being so far way. Let me start off by saying the idea behind the bracelets are pretty cool and for the most part they do work...
But the downside is that you have to keep BondTouch running in the background in order for you to receive your “touch” by whoever. That’s annoying. I typically close all my apps out after each use and by me doing that I miss out on the touches sent by my partner. Also, there is a delay when it does comes to sending a “touch”. My partner receives a touch 2 minutes after I sent her a touch. Which is ok, but I thought it would be instantaneous. Even if I do not have BondTouch open in the background then I should be able to atleast get a notification that a touch has been sent. Even when I am charging my bracelet, it would be cool to get a notification saying that a touch was sent or even on BondTouch , it should be said that “your partner is currently charging their bracelet” or something along on those lines.

My boyfriend and I got this in preparation of me leaving for school in August. It’s overall a cute and fun piece of technology. I was a little worried after reading other reviews but it turned out working for us...it required us to update it when we first opened BondTouch so that might have something to do with it. The only thing that keeps me from rating it 5 stars are reasons similar to other reviews... the taps are a little delayed which doesn’t particularly bother me personally but I can see why it would be annoying to some. Another issue is that you have to be near your phone to send and receive touches which can get annoying when you or your partner are not close to their phone at the moment. However, so far we are having a great time with this product. One thing I would suggest is making the actual bond touch module more compatible to other bracelets, as I tried putting it on several bracelets I already have and the openings are too narrow to fit around them.

She was my best friend. She passed away last night. She bought it about a week ago. I received mine and thought for a send wow I must have a stalker not knowing anything about it. Then I messed Michelle it was the only thing that made real sense and she said yup I sent it now we have a real friend ship bracelet!! For less then a week I was able to tell her many times before she died I loved her. And I thank you for this. I ordered colored bracelets and they came in on the day of her death this is all so overwhelming! She was part of my soul! I only hope to get the other part of the bracelet as I will never take it off even though I will never get another buzz from her. But I can go back and replay what she had sent to me. My soul is broken.

by Tealwhite

I love the idea of this bracelet but it’s not working for me. My bracelet loses connection every time I move my hand. The only way I can receive a buzz is if my phone is in my hand or right under the hand where my bracelet is. If I put my phone I my pocket the connection is lost, if I turn over in bed (I have a queen size bed) my connection is lost. Don’t let me life my head and arm off the pillow away from my phone it’s lost. I can’t do anything with this bracelet unless my phone is glued to my wrist and I don’t know about you guys but that’s highly impossible for me to do. Can you guys please fix this, I’ve only had it for two days and if works fine for my boyfriend he can put his in his pocket and it doesn’t lose connection. I have the Iphone6 it’s up to date with the software. What should I do?

I’m not gonna lie, I bought these as an early Valentine’s Day gift for my girlfriend not convinced at all they would work properly. I was ABSOLUTELY thrilled to realize that I was wrong. I’m studying abroad in Dublin, Ireland for the semester while she’s back in the States in Georgia and these work perfectly. I can not express how much I love them and how much she does as well. I knew I needed to do one of these reviews just so the skeptics like me know that YES THEY WORK!!!! The only thing with them is that if you’re not getting each other’s buzzes you may need to refresh BondTouch and then it works wonderfully again.

So, if you’re thinking about getting these but aren’t entirely confident about your distance working just be assured that I am just over 3,960 miles from my partner and it works just fine. It’s the perfect thing to get honestly. I cant recommend something more.

by Justacracker

I bought this for me and my boyfriend. It took a few days for the bracelets to start working properly. First he could only get my taps when he was on BondTouch , but it worked for me. Then it stopped working for me and his was perfect. To fix it, both of us disconnected from the bracelet a few times and just kept testing them with each other. It took a few days but it’s cool now. I think some of them are being delayed by a few minutes, it doesn’t bother us that much and most of them are sent pretty quickly. The connection is also a little weird sometimes. I open BondTouch several times just to make sure it’s one of the first apps running in the background. It functions pretty well when I do this. So for those of you having issues, just give it a few days and try reconnecting the bracelets, then see what happens. He and I are having a lot of fun with these.

When my girlfriend and bought them the shipping was pretty quick! After she sent the other to me, they should have an option on sending one bracelet to the others address perhaps? since usually these bracelets are used for long distance couples like ourselves. We set them up together over the phone, and it was pretty easy. I saw some others say they had trouble setting it up with their phone number but we didn’t have any problems with that. Instead I just didn’t have my bluetooth on, so there’s a tip! BondTouch is easy to figure out, and we send long ones to each other or just a few taps, might i say it got a quite a bit wet once and still works perfectly fine! This is great since when I’m in class or out running errands and can’t send a message, a simple tap to let them know i’m thinking of them. The charger is a bit weird, but not so hard to figure out!

Your product is incredible. It has changed my LDR into something so much better than it was. I feel much closer to my girlfriend than before because of these bracelets. One issue with the bracelet that I have is that it is on and draining battery all the time. I feel like I have to charge it every night which can be annoying since I have to charge multiple devices every night. Speaking of multiple devices, I use two IOS devices very frequently when I cant use the other and it would be nice if BondTouch allowed two devices to be logged in one account at the same time. I get that someone else with a bond could then go into your account, but just send a email whenever a new device connects to my bond to let me know and set up a system to kick that bond off the account if I say that isn’t my bond. However I wont take a star off because I still think this is an amazing product and would definitely recommend to any relationship.

My boyfriend bought these for us even though we live together and are not long distance as advertised for use. He works 12-14 hours days 5-6 days a week. So we use these to check in throughout the day without having to pick up a phone for a text or call when it’s not available due to work. It puts a smile on my face throughout the day whenever I get a notification sent through the bracelet. We have only had them a week but they have been great for letting each other know we’re on each other’s mind throughout the day. We will never have to worry about a busy schedule that doesn’t leave time for a call or text to check in making us feel like the other is to busy to care. These are perfect for any relationship to show you think about them and say I miss you and love you in such a simple way.

first of all, the bracelets are completely fine and work as it is. the problem is BondTouch . it doesn’t save your profile or your phone number so if you try to pair with your partner, it doesn’t work. also, partner invitations don’t go anywhere. my partner and i tried but it’s not working and it’s going nowhere. both our phones and our bracelets work, it’s literally just BondTouch that doesn’t work for some reason. i emailed the company about that and at first, they were helpful and were asking questions. they offered to manually pair our bracelets but they haven’t done that and they completely stopped emailing me back.

i don’t know what’s up but i recommend to the company to work on fixing BondTouch to make it easier to use and ACTUALLY WORKS. if the company is reading this- pls work on profile saving, partner invitations, and pairing pls.

also, you should try thinking about pairing with your partner using the bracelets instead of BondTouch so it’s easier.

My boyfriend and I were long distance for three years; we recently moved in together and have been living together for the past year now. Unfortunately we’ll have to move apart again due to career opportunities, so I decided to buy these bracelets for the two of us.
The bracelets themselves are pretty cool, and the concept is so sweet. His bracelet works well, however my bracelet seems to be delayed in receiving responses. His bracelet will buzz a few seconds after I send a tap, but my bracelet will take a few minutes, sometimes it won’t receive the touch at all. However, when I have BondTouch opened on my phone it will receive touches on time. His bracelet doesn’t require BondTouch to be opened to receive them. I’m not sure if my bracelet is bad or if it’s just normal behavior. Besides really wishing my bracelet worked as well as his, it’s really cute and a nice thing to have.

by Archeerr

My boyfriend and I received these bracelets a month ago. I love them for many reasons, although there are a few issues. BondTouch constantly crashes and disconnects the bracelets even though Bluetooth is on and I have data. Sometimes buzzes take over 20 mins to get to each other. And I hate that the bracelet doesn’t come with a band already made. Despite this, I have fallen in love with them, allowing me to see if his bracelet is charger and our past buzzes is amazing. I wish it wouldn’t have taken 8 weeks to get to us but at least I was told it would take a while.

I love the bracelets a lot but I wish BondTouch stayed connected better, and the buzzes were more accurate on when we send them. I also wish that you sold different kinds of bands that I could switch out.

All in all I love them!! Definitely worth it to me.

by Shadow_Paw

I ordered this around January 20th and received it within a week! It was super easy to charge, set up, and get it working, and they’ve worked amazingly since then. Originally, the site said it was sold out in the United States (where I live), but I messaged the customer service team and they got back to me within 24 hours and let me know that they were still shipping in the US. :) had an extremely positive experience overall and would definitely recommend to anyone out there looking to buy a cute birthday/valentines/anniversary gift! You don’t have to be long distance to use the bracelets either! My boyfriend and I live pretty close but we don’t see each other every single day, so the bracelets are just a nice way to stay in touch and feel closer. ❤️

I’ve been in a long distance relationship for almost 3 years now and this bracelet truly does something FaceTime or a phone call can’t do. Physical touch is extremely necessary in a relationship and when you and your parter are hundreds of miles apart, it’s non existent. Bond touch allows me to feel her touches through vibration, and it’s honestly the highlight of my day. I never take it off and it has been truly worth every dollar I paid. The only downside about these bracelets is the fact that you have to constantly have the bond touch app open. Other than that, great product for a long distance relationship. I highly recommend these bracelets to all couples worldwide. Thank you bond touch.
