iLuv Smart Shaker, Wireless Shaker for Hearing Impaired & Heavy Sleepers, 20 Alarms, Call & App Alerts, Bluetooth, Rechargable Battery, Auto DST, iOS & Android Compatible

This product worked well for my Dad who is 86 now. He is not deaf but he uses it to help him wake up in the morning since he can't put his phone right by his bed and would miss the alarm, so he puts this device under his pillow and it works great. He also uses it to remind him to turn on his phone after church, sets the alarm before he turns off and when it goes off lets him know at home to check his phone to turn back on. Will see what other uses he can use it for. We think the app is easy to use and like the multiple alarms and different times you could put for snoozing. Nice to have options for vibration strength. We think the sizing is good, not too small to easily misplace and not larger than your hand. So, I think would also be easy to travel with if needed. Also seems sturdy construction. For what my dad uses if for seems the said battery life is good. This device works well for us.

EDIT: if your shaker stops working, here is the steps how to fix it Uninstall the app “SmartShaker3”. Remove the pairing record of “SmartShaker3” under the Bluetooth menu of your phone. (Go into your phone settings and into the Bluetooth settings and look for smartshaker 3 and unpair it.) Install the app “SmartShaker3”. Slide the switch to on position on the SmartShaker 3 device. Press and hold the snooze button for 10 seconds until there is a one time vibration. Open the app and click “Next” till the Searching page. The searching can take up to 3 minutes to finish. Then it should pick up your smartshaker, pair it and then all should work again. I think it more has to do with your phone that gets updated by your phone manufacturer like Samsung or apple, etc that stuffs up the smartshaker so it just needs to be re-paired again as per the steps above. After I paired mine again, I tested the alarm by setting a time 2 min to go off and it worked. I noticed that it is on the same time as my time now that we're in daylight savings, in Australia but when not in daylight savings mode in our country, they shaker app time is a hour ahead of the actual time so to set your alarm one hour ahead of actual time you want to wake up. ----- I love this product itself. It is brilliant, very strong vibration it actually wakes you so it works very well! The only gripe I have is the app on the phone, the app is rubbish and the app developers need to be made aware of this, so manufacturers I hope you see this and let the app developers know their app is not good - issues with app are *no dates, only days *no choice to choose your own timezone in Australia, instead they have this DST for Australia which means the alarm goes off one hour earlier, not good! So if you want to get up at 7.30 am, then set the time for 8.30 am! Pretty stupid! So the app needs a huge overhaul!

I'm really hard of hearing so mobile phone alarms don't wake me, and a lot of bedside alarms also don't do it for me. So I tried this, and it works well to wake me, more often than not. The problems are these: It's so smoothly finished it's hard to keep in place or to hold in the hand, it's easily dropped, but especially it also easily slips out from under the pillow and onto the floor while I sleep, so doesn't wake me. I hurt my back one morning when I tried to find it somewhere under the bed. So now I insert it inside the pillow case to keep it with me but then can't get at it easily to stop it when it does wake me. Setting the alarm is a bit complicated too, It pairs well with my phone but the settings are confusing and sometimes I set it for the wrong day, and sometimes it gets set for multiple days when I only wanted the one alarm, so I get woken when I don't want if it's on repeat, or not woken when I do want if I don't notice which DAY the thing is set for. Would be good if there was a SIMPLE option to set the alarm for the NEXT occurrence of a selected time without having to do all that mental arithmetic before bed about picking the day. It would also be good if it had a little display on the device (backlit when I pick it up) to tell me when the next alarm is set for, so I don't have to go to the phone just to check every time. The vibration strength too, at minimum is still way too strong. I would like lower it further. The reason I got the pink one is that I can see it easily when I'm looking for it. The black one is really hard to find in a darked room (I have an earlier model in black and that was the case, but harder to set up and was unreliable) and when I go to check out of a hotel the pastel colour makes it easier to spot. Perhaps a location feature would be good to build into the app so I can tell my phone to find my device by forcing it to buzz? Anyway. It DOES do the job, but takes some getting used to and can be improved.

This is much improved from the first one i bought several years ago. The APP is slow to respond but works. Easy to set alarms, also with messaging apps and phone calls it works well. I keep it under the mattress as the vibration is strong. Battery life i got 30 days with the first charge, mainly just alarms not too many messages or calls. Once i remove my hearing aids i only have 10% hearing.

Good

This easy to use and simpledevice would be great for anyone who does not want to many buttons. It has an on-off button and a snooze button. Onthe app you can set the alarm but the sliders to adjust the time are a little fiddly for me. This app could be better with a drop-down or hour and minute selection with teut input. Otherwise its very loud on level 5.

Fabulous product was a great help for my son who uses cochlear implants for hearing.. since it has been received he has started getting up by himself… a fabulous product for parents whose children are hard of hearing

Doveva arrivare il 14 di novembre e invece mi è arrivato il 3 di novembre, soddisfatto per la consegna. Sono un ragazzo giovane sordo dalla nascita e devo dire che questa sveglia è ottima, facile da usare, ci sono 5 livelli per la vibrazione già il 1/2 livello non è ne basso è ne alto.

I love the vibrating alarm. One of the best that wakes up very hard of hearing individuals. Also, you can take it with you when commuting. Very reliable.
