briiv 2.0 4+

Update: After a month of use the app has ceased to do the most basic functions and the air quality tracking graphs are non-sensical after a recent update. This app really needs some work to make the cost of this unit justified.

Original: I backed the briiv 2.0 on Kickstarter and have just received my unit at the end of Aug 2024 and set it up. I did not experience the majority of issues others have complained about. At the stage where you select your WiFi network inside the app I needed to restart once, but after that everything worked smoothly as explained in the help video on their website.
While the app doesn’t currently have all the features in its initial roll out, there was a letter in my unit explaining this and indicating what work was being done. I’m really looking forward to using all the functions in a few months time.

When first logging in it takes a few times for the ‘continue’ button to actually activate…

When connecting the Briiv to the network it takes some time, and had to go back and try again, for the list of your local networks to appear.

Once in though, seems simple enough with a handy schedule feature.

Sort out the fiddly bits and it would be 5/5.

Very easy to connect via WiFi, following the instructions in the app. Features are straight forward and the graphical trends are a brilliant feature. If you’re someone that is into data & analytics this comes as a great bonus.

After trying many custom apps over the years this is a breath of fresh air to use.
