Digital camera reviews of Vivonic Fitness Planner Mini Handheld
Digital camera Review: For health and fitness, this is a great tool!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased my Vivonic Fitness Planner about a month ago. I have found it a great tool to keep up with fitness activities, food intake and personal metrics like how many hours of sleep I get each night or my weight. I also love the pedometer and stopwatch and that it automatically updates my fitness records. I am quite impressed with the extensive food and exercise databases. I have found even the most obscure foods in the database - stuff like dry roasted soynuts or oatmeal maple flavored. I found myself wishing for a way to find a particular food in the database because at times I had difficulty knowing under what category to look. Then I got an e-mail this week that Vivonic has updated the software to add a search tool for the food database - they read my mind! I just downloaded the upgrade today, FOR FREE!
If you like to keep up with your workouts or monitor your food intake (calories, fat, protein, carbs, sodium, sugar) this handheld fitness planner for you. I know last year when I was on a weight loss program, the planner would have been an invaluable tool. And a good motivator, too, because it gives you feedback on your food and exercise goals
The last thing I'll mention is that I am not really into "gadgets" or computers, electronics, etc. but I have found the planner so easy to use - you do not have to be a computer guru to get the planner working and learn how to use it. The Vivonic Fitness Planner really is a good product and I can highly recommend it.
Digital camera Review: I was all set to love this product, but...
Summary: 2 Stars
It broke the first day. I was at the gym with that day's routine stored in the database when the screen froze. Soft reset. Sync. Soft reset. Error message. Hard reset now impossible. Called tech support. Not familiar with that error message. (If not them...?) Tech support would call back. Had a replacement in my hands before tech support called back. (They never did.) I'm giving it another try because even though my experience was frustrating and the software isn't perfect, the idea is a good one. Still, consider buying a Handspring Visor (more reliable) and just get the Palm software. If the Vivonic hardware fails again, that's what I'll do. (Plus I'll be back with a one-star review.)Digital camera Review: Poor customer support
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased the product and and have repeatedly tried to contact the tech support line listed in the liturature by phone and e-mail with no response. I am very disapointed and the productr is unusable. What a ripoff.Digital camera Review: This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a personal fitness trainer, a martial artist and someone concerned with caloric intake, I needed something that wasn't going to bog me down. This is a phenomenal machine that tracks anything I want it to! I found out that some foods I ate too much of and others too little. I also track the amount of cardiovascular time, weight increases/decreases, etc. I am really amazed by this product! It is worth every penny!Digital camera Review: Vivonic out of business
Summary: 1 Stars
I am amazed that this product is still being sold. Vivonic went out of business years ago, so there is absolutely no support for this product or the software.
