The office chair thing makes it something people talk about which creates a myth in the employee culture about the crazy things the company does to save money. This myth is retold to other team members so everyone gets that the company cares about frugality. You probably wouldn't want to work with me and that's kinda the point of culture.



Hi All, I'm the founder of Shine. I Would love to get your thoughts and suggestions on the product.


You have a typo in your video subtitles: "Even though the bathroom hasn't change in a century" should be "changed."


?


Thanks for the post :)


  Updates for reasoning behind all of our decisions was made public, we fulfilled perks to our backers, and have been continuously upgrading devices plus apps based on user feedback.  It's called a start up and yes, things change.  
As to your account and that you only choose to comment only here and have no other submissions, it leads me to question who you are and if you actually are an indiegogo backer. If you are, if you shoot a mail to support at phonehalo.com, they respond within 24 hours and have resolved 99% of all issues.


Its funny you should mention accounts cgherb aka Chris Herbert (founder of Phone Halo), judging from your response it seems that you are also posting under the username of seeingfurther, is this true?

Rather than taking my criticisms onboard you choose to accuse me of having an ulterior motive, despite many backers having the same grievances as me.

My complaints are not only with the product itself but your treatment of backers, this cannot be solved via a support email as the decisions have already been made and the damage done.

It's called a start up and yes, things change.

Unfortunately this is the exact arrogance you have shown throughout the campaign. "Things change" is that how you explain dropping support for those who got your project off the ground?


Actually that is not true. Cobra Tag works with iOS: http://www.tuaw.com/2012/06/15/phone-halo-shows-off-the-cobr...

  We also were the first to show the 4.0 technology last January at CES:  http://ces.cnet.com/8301-33369_1-57354528/bluetooth-4.0-powered-cobra-tag-g5-needs-only-biannual-recharges/


None of their shipping products work with iOS, but you are correct that they demoed a product 6 months ago.
