Right, but this article is about 2 years old and doesn't directly involve your product. I understand the significance of precommittment, but where does the Pavlok come in? Again, I'm genuinely asking, I am not trying to come across as brash. I'm curious in this product but it just doesn't seem very concrete.

For example, If I wanted to condition myself to spend less time on the computer (gaming, browsing reddit, watching streams/videos, etc.), according to this article I have a higher chance at succeeding if I precommit (which already sounds obvious) and even higher if it threatens my finances, correct? Or am I understanding this article incorrectly?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is this: you're an entrepreneur-- why do I need your product? I'm talking specifically your product. Why is your product the best way to break habits?

Hey, I know you're getting eaten alive in here but remember this is the power of anonymity. You are going to get the most honest and powerful feedback. It's a cool idea, but it seems like there isn't enough to back up your claims-- At least not from what you presented. My question: where is the research? Like, the big numbers, not 200 or so people from a Facebook group? And "microhabits?" It sounds like you took tips from a scientologist. How effective is it? What were the results of the small sample on Facebook anyhow? I'm not trying to come across as a dick, but this seems so ill-prepared. I'd love if you'd enlighten me on your product, because as of now there just doesn't seem like there's any concrete proof that your product works. Thanks for doing this AMA, it really is an interesting idea. The last thing I'd like to see this for the Pavlok to never get a chance, especially if there is research that backs it up.

Wonderful, cheers!

Is this app available on Android? A search of "Pavlok" in the Google Play store proves fruitless.

ALRIGHT.

This is what I'm talking about! I'd consider even editing this into your original post because this clears up A LOT. I'd hope I'm not the only person that didn't quite grasp the fact that the app and bracelet are somewhat separate. This explains a lot.

I'm pretty intrigued by this now. However the price is out of my (and I'm sure a lot of other people's) budget at the moment. Do you have any plans on sending out trial bracelets? Payment plans? 30-day money back guarantees? The issue with innovation is risk. Consumers don't like risk any more than producers, so business wise do you have any future plans to make it easier to acquire one of these? I'd probably impulse buy one right away if I had the money, the idea is neat and has real, practical use-- it can be a major step in health tech!
