I tried to like it, I really did
I'm giving up on this. I tried to like it, I really did. And I gave it plenty of chances, which ended up being many wasted hours. If it worked properly it would be a great product but unfortunately that's not the case. I gave up on getting the weather on it long ago - it just doesn't work. It's a nifty thing to have but wasn't essential. I was willing to overlook the fact that it has a mind of it's own and syncs when it wants to, not when I want it to. Receiving notifications from my phone is hit or miss - when it wants to, not when I want it to. Downloading music onto it is a pain, one would think it could be easier in this day and age, but once it's done it's done - great news, right? Well, not so much. It takes 3 - 4 tries each and every time for my Fitbit Flyer headphones to recognize that I'm synced with the Ionic. Power the headphones off, power them on, power off, on. repeat. It got so annoying/frustrating that I abandoned them and went back to my trusty old iPod Classic. I paid $129.99 for the headphones, complete waste of money, and that is squarely on the Ionic - not the headphones - once they actually were recognized by the Ionic they sounded awesome! And the straw that broke the camels back was when Fitbit asked me upgrade my tracking software - it looks like it would be a great upgrade but I'll never know. My Ionic isn't having any of that. Tried to upgrade via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi - dozens and dozens of times. I begged this inanimate object to upgrade. I pleaded. PLEASE! All for naught. My Ionic isn't having anything to do with this upgrade. No way, no shape, no how. Ain't gonna happen, ever. And, for the record, every other device, app, etc. that I own and involves anything to do with Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi works just fine - no problems whatsoever. My phone is in tip-top shape, absolutely no issues other than with the Ionic. It's a sad day for me, I tried to love the Ionic but it just didn't work out. Time to move on.
