Works? Sort of, but poorly...
Sorry, lots of things I didn't like about this product. Product could not (can not) be used with most iPhone 5s cases. (How many folks don't use a case on their phone? I don't know of many...) Very poor consistency and/or repeatability of the measurements. Most readings for me were reported with a "Low Accuracy" qualifier message in the app. The apps suggestion to improve accuracy was to minimize ambient light. Had to go into a completely dark room (bathroom with no lights on) to get reasonable and repeatable measurements; using this only in a very dark room not viable for me. Maybe one out of three times the iPhone app, (which is needed to use to use the product) did not activate or recognize the device. Too often I had to unconnect and then reconnect the device to the phone to get the app to recognize same. After two days of trying to like the Tinke Fitness/Wellness Sensor I've ended up sending the product back for a refund. IMHO it's not ready for prime time.

Interesting little device
This tracker is as cute as a button, I love the size and it is very easy to use...except with my current phone case. Every time I want to use it, I have to completely remove my phone from its case, and that's a pain.I like being able to measure my stress level, though I'm not sure this little device can actually do that. Do the numbers really mean anything?? I pretty much know if I'm stressed or not.I was able to try this item at a discounted price for my feedback, and I will admit I'm not sure I would pay full price for this item.

Rather disappointing
I got a discount on this product thanks to Zensorium and I am not that impressed with its ability. Even with the discount I feel as if I wasted my money. While the device is nice and small it doesn't work with the majority of iPhone cases as it takes up the majority of the base of my phone. When running a health test, it takes about 40 seconds to complete. I understand that the longer the duration leads to a more accurate result yet in today's world its all about speed and this guy just doesn't have it. I'm not sure what the Zen test really produces as far as a health test but it maybe its because I cant seem to regulate my breathing enough to get a decent "score". The health information pertains to blood O2 levels, heart rate, and breaths per minute. I enjoy getting these results but apart from the blood O2 levels you could do all of these with any clock and save yourself the money.

Not Worth It
Where to start...first off there are hardly any instructions that come with this, am I supposed to take resting heart rate, after exercise, multiple times a day? Next, as others have mentioned, even with a low profile case it is impossible to plug in, when all they would have to do is add a short extension piece to it. Also, for $15-20 you can buy a finger monitor that will tell you the same information, when they are charging $119 for this. On the good side, it is nice it will record and track the measurements, and the app is relatively straightforward to use. Still, I hardly think it is even worth the discounted cost I got it for thanks to Zensorium

Cool concept, poor execution
I LOVE the idea of the Tinké and I really wanted it to work.However, I found the app buggy and unfinished and the equipment not compatible with my case. I have a minimalist case and I still had to remove my case every time I wanted to connect the Tinké. What active person would ever leave their iPhone naked?If the company remakes the equipment to work with cases and improve the app, then it will be work the money.

great device to share progress
I received this device at a discounted rate as part of a online assignment. I enjoyed and still do enjoy sharing my results from the device with friends and social media acquaintances. it does not fit in the cell phone case which can be a bit bothersome. It works very well and gives me information that i may or may not receive while on a treadmill. i would purchase this as a gift.

Cool Idea, but needs some work...
I received the opportunity to use Tinke from Bzzagent. I was really excited to use the Zen piece of it because I was hoping I would gain further insight into how my breathing is linked to my stress levels. When I entered the Zen part of the App, it presented a few little circles that expanded and shrunk at different rates. I chose one that seemed to match my resting breathing rate. You are supposed to breathe in when it expands and exhale when it collapses. I did this a few times and kept getting really random scores. It didn't tell me ways I could improve my score and I question if it was scoring me accurately. However, it is very helpful to have a breathing guide because I tend to subconsciously hold my breath. Being conscious of this has really limited my anxiety and stress levels. In conclusion, I liked having something to help me get a good rhythm for my breathing but think the scoring part could use some work. I would certainly not pay the price it is going for because I don't utilize all the features and don't know how reliable the scores are.

Works!
This little iPhone plug in measures (1) heart rate, (2) breathing rate, (3) blood oxygenation and (4) heart rate variability. The app then scores your "vitality" from the first 3 and your stress level with the last. The beauty of this product and app are in its simplicity. The measurements are accurate, and the app software allows you to track your vitals over time. A very nice product.
