Well, I guess Ive done it to myself, but I might as well rant a little bit anyway.
I ordered the envision Solos back in August with a targeted shipping in October.
In good faith, I bought the monthly subscribtion to the app. I found absolutely no difference in the app after paying for a monthly membership. No ability to speed up the speech, the processing time is eternal.
Last week, I watched a video of someone trying to set them up and use them. The person appeared to be very competentwith tech, but the glasses performed even worse than the Ally app.
I requested a refund on Thursday and it's now Tuesday and I've heard nothing.
I now realize that even if I did buy the glasses, Envision's communication is so bad that I'd never get any useful support.
Good thing I have my Metas. They may not be perfect, but they just work.

Oh, the chaos!!
Several months ago, 3 or 4 of us wore our Metas to an Open Tech session at the library. It was chaotic and hilarious. At one point, 2 people almost got their glasses mixed up because one person had Wayfarer, one had Skyler, and they passed them back and forth to compare. Glasses were responding to commands from the person sitting next to you, and it was amusing.
Voice personalisation
Interestingly, both Chat gpt voice mode and Gemini once in the live have the same behavior. they respond to every passer-by... I guess they could do voice training like the old Hay Google and store a copy of the voice in the glasses itself or something...
newest testflight build for Ally
Can anyone please tell me which build of the ally app on iOS is the latest available in Testflight? For me it is 1.7.5, but some say it is 1.7.6. But I do not see this.
Testflight version of Ally Assistant
According to Testflight, I'm usin version 1.7.6 build3. It's weird, though, because when I opened test flight so that I could answer this question, there was an update button for Ally. So far as I could tell, the version number didn't change. I just hope it's not going to delete/clone my allies again. I hope you're able to get the latest version if you don't have it. I'll be trying to test it at some point over the next day or 2. I just need to be sure I have enough patience first. LOL!
solos glasses broken now
Just to let you know, yesterday I tried to turn on my solos glasses and nothing happened. After charging them for two hours still the same, and yes, the arms are placed correctly. the light is red while charging, and after unplugging they flash blue for half a second and that's it. And when touching the power bump while charging, they make a completely distorted beep sound.
