Orion: companion app to Onyx

I was very disappointed that the first generation devices are no longer usable and all I was offered was a 50% discount for the newer hardware. I understand that as a startup such decisions have to be made to upgrade your hardware; but there is difference between not supporting older devices with updates and rending them useless. I can't see why I would pour money in when the firm can't stand behind it's products. Shame, it seemed like a great idea.

Great - device and onboarding are really clever. Battery is good

This is an excellent idea but it has some difficulties. I have a note 5 and a frequently disconnects and has the other glitchy operations. Customer service is good, this is why they receive two stars from me. I look forward to give you more stars after some of the bugs have been worked out. I am also disappointed that there is no integration with Amazon Alexa. On their website the goal was tab integration by quarter 4 2016. Their present goal is quarter one 2017. I wish they had reflected that they had not met their website. Had this been the case I would have never purchased the units until there was Amazon integration with Alexa. The good news however is that if they meet their goal this function will be up and going in the next two months. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Looses connection android phones s7, pixel note 5 nexus 6 no tech support Available

It is a great disappointment that Onyx V1 is no longer supported making a bunch of expensive paper weights...I was offerd 50% off the new version...but I'm hesitant as V3 might come out any time soon and I will be in the same boat.

The new translation feature is awesome!

I love this device and service. Allows me to communicate with and know where my kids are. Have also played around with it at work and it can make for easier group communications when working on projects remotely.

Using Onyx with the Orion app is great. It's like an Internet walkie talkie, but small and cute and the range is infinite. Well, not infinite, but anywhere there's internet. The app allows you to easily manage your groups and see where everyone is on a map (or not, you can turn location off too).

What a fun app/device! It was very easy to set up, and is really fun to use.

A+++ WILL PTT AGAIN

Way easier communicating with a group when you don't have to pull your phone out. Surprisingly reliable too.

Easy onboarding and setup. Support is very responsive. The user interface is slick, but not altogether intuitive. My friends and I experienced problems both transmitting and receiving: cutting out, no playback. Am really excited for this communicator, but it definitely still needs some work. Would be one star for not fulfilling the job it's supposed to do, but gave it an extra star for the aforementioned customer support. Will update as experience improves.

I really was excited about this product. I had great hopes for it. I ordered 3 for my business. Instructions were confusing, but finally got them running. Problem was that they so often lost connection that it was impossible to consistently communicate. They were simply UNDEPENDABLE. Technical Support tried to help, but couldn't. They need a lot more work and FIELD testing to solve their technician problems to improve their software

Like a walkie talkie with coast-to-coast coverage
