JGP Quick Steps Earning Device Phone Shaker Left/Right Type with ON/Off Switch and Adjuster No Magnet Manual Included No Rubber Band Required Automatic Egg Hatcher JGP-002

Short Answer: It works if you follow the instructions.———————————————————————Research and Analysis:I watched multiple YouTube channel creators claiming this swing did nothing for them. One creator only tested it for 10 minutes with the app on (not off so that Adventure Sync can do its magic!), and not upside down like the instructions directed him to. This led the creator to make a claim that all swings/hatchers are not worth it and to rely only on the “sock method”. However, I decided to do some testing of my own in a controlled environment.Hypothesis: The JGP Mobile Swing will not significantly help in hatching eggs, earning steps to earn candy for your “buddy”, and contribute to the Jogger Medal in Pokemon GO.My Phone: iPhone 11, iOS version 13.4Carrier: Cricket WirelessPokémon GO Permissions:* Location: Always On* Motion and Fitness: All Categories EnabledOther Devices Attached to iPhone and what I did with them (my controlled variables):* Apple Watch Series 3- I took it off and left it on its charger before turning on the swing to ensure my watch’s Health app and step counters would not potentially affect my iPhone’s motion tracking ability.* Poke Ball Plus- I made sure the device was not active (shouldn’t be if you closed the PokémonGO App completely and not just sitting in the background) as to not interfere with Adventure Sync.Case 1:* I turned off my Wi-Fi completely on my iPhone.* I turned off my Bluetooth completely on my iPhone.* All peripherals were not worn and left on their chargers.* iPhone 11 was left unplugged to power so as to not stop the swing momentum with the cable and prevent unnecessary cable stress.* I positioned my iPhone 11 in the upside-down position (camera towards the bottom of my desk).Other notes:*The USB is connected to my Razer Blackwidow Chroma Keyboard’s USB Port for power.*In order for the swing to swing properly, turn it to the ON position. Gently pull on the anchor located on the right side of the device and then let it go so it can gain momentum so it can swing from right to left on its own. You can leave it alone at this point and the power will continue to swing it until you turn the switch to the OFF position.My Nightly Results: After leaving my iPhone swinging overnight I earned anywhere from 17–50 km per night for about 6-12 hours.My Weekly Results: 254.8 km after letting the JGP swing my phone for 7-12 hours; usually, 8 hours after eating breakfast, doing my do, etc.Case 2:* I accidentally left the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on one night. It had no effect on the number of steps earned (thankfully?).* Similar results with 274.7 km because I overslept one night.* Wi-Fi and Bluetooth appear to not affect the kilometers walked for the motion fitness tracker. At least not significantly enough to warrant a null hypothesis.Case 3:* I left my Apple Watch on my wrist overnight on the 3rd week and once again, no added effects, positive or otherwise to the kilometers walked.* Results this week were 236.4 because I had to wake up early (a 5 hour night) for online school reasons and team cooperation at work.* Apple Watch, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth do not appear to affect Pokemon GO’s Adventure Sync Motion Tracker significantly.Conclusion: The JGP Mobile Swing helped me significantly in earning steps, hatching eggs, and earning candy for my “buddy” Pokémon. It exceeded my expectations. It has earned me more kilometers than my usual walking activity (maybe if I actually ran a little I would get more bang for my buck the “intended” way) and I still use it conjunction with my normal walking (moving around at work).Disclaimer: I could only get about 28 km on my own outside of the current COVID situation. My hours were cut so it went down to 5 km in case you were wondering if I was actually exercising (yeah... if you consider playing Call of Duty like a couch potato in my gaming chair... ). If I am able to measure a normal exercise routine on a treadmill or hiking during the day for certain kilometers I’ll update this and combine it with my JGP Mobile Walker at night results to see if there’s an even more significant increase using both ways to earn steps in Pokemon GO.Estimated Weekly Results for others (if left swinging overnight): I would roughly estimate anywhere from 140–350 km per week if you can leave it swinging at least 6-10 hours a week. **Results may vary for different phones/services.**Would you recommend this device?Yes, if you want an alternative to walking to hatch your eggs, earn steps via Pokemon GO app, or earning Pokemon candy while you sleep or don’t need to use your phone for extended periods of time (game, study, shower, go out with friends, etc.).Will this work for everyone?I cannot say yes or no as results may vary for people on different devices like Androids (different setups). I only know it works for my device currently. It will not work for people that want to play the game as “intended” or people who can't put their phones down for a few hours.Thank you all for reading this, I hope you appreciate my review.

I read a good number of reviews and I thought that I assumed how this shaker should work, like what I needed to do for the steps to count... I was wrong. The first day that I got this product I was trying to figure out why I was getting so little steps. I have a Samsung Galaxy A20 and I was starting to think maybe it just didn't work with my phone. I tried leaving my Fit App open like it showed in the advertisement pictures, upside down and right side up, phone screen on and phone screen off, but I got very little to no steps. I made sure battery saver was off, and of course adventure sync was on, but I never read anywhere that you actually had to keep the game on... So after trying everything that I thought would work, I launched Pokemon Go, locked the screen with the in game lock feature, put my phone in the shaker upside down and now its counting every step perfectly! This swing is 10/10! Hatching eggs is so easy now, along with getting buddy candies, just make sure you leave your game on if you're having trouble.

I've repaired this device 3 or 4 times in the past 6 months. I'm really not impressed at all with the build quality. This is very cheaply made, not worth the $22 price, and not a long term solution. I wasn't going to leave a review but I'm already looking for something sturdier.That said, if your device and application are setup correctly, it can count steps just fine. When positioned just right, I average about 6km per hour. Pokemon Go, health apps, etc. all have specific requirements and settings to detect movement and different devices have different sensors or sensor locations. Side-to-side vs back-and-forth swinging may make a difference for your device. A regular size phone with a case barely fits, so a large phone might be even more difficult.

The box was a little roughed up but the contents were fine. Works well with an s22 ultra and iPhone 14 max.Android phones seem to behave better with a sideswing without Fit converting to BIKE and not counting distance as steps. If you do have issues goto track workout and select treadmill or walking... Select start and shake the phone a few seconds until it begins counting steps before placing into the swing.Will accept a slim case without issue..4 out of 5 is fair for a review.

I had a magnetic phone swing prior to this, and it worked okay until the metal rod dug into the plastic mount and made it off-balance. The magnet wasn't strong enough to keep the swing moving after that. I have had this one for about 2 months and have had zero issues with it. Just be sure to take your phone out of the case. I gain more steps in less time than I did with the magnetic swing. Overall, awesome for Pokemon Go 50km/week, hatching eggs, and earning candies with your buddy.,'\_.----. ____ ,' _\ ___ ___ _____,-' `. | | /`. \,-' | \ / | | \ |`.\ __ \ '-. | / `. ___ | \/ | '-. \ | |\. \ \ | __ | |/ ,','_ `. | | __ | \| |\ \/ /,' _`.| ,' / / / / | ,' _`.| | |\ ,-'/ / \ ,' | \/ / ,`.| / / \ | |\ \ | \_/ | `-. \ `' /| | || \_/ | |\ |\ \ \ / `-.`.___,-' | |\ /| \ / | | |\ \ `.__,'| |`-._ `| |__| \/ | `.__,'| | | |\_.-' |__| `-._ | '-.| '-.| | |`' '-._|

This is my 3rd rocker and it is by far the best. Super quiet, logs all the steps, no having to restart my phone to see if it worked or switching up the position of phone to get steps logged. It’s a little bulky but I rather it be bulky and work than having a smaller one that only works sometimes. I like that the cradle has its own adjustable holder and isn’t held in place with a rubber band.
