We-Vibe is one of the hottest brands in adult Toys at the moment. And not just because they’re well designed, waterproof, 100% silicone toys. Nor because they all have strong and quiet little motors, two year warranty or products for both women and men.
No, one of the biggest factors in their popularity is in their ability to be controlled by a Phone app. This is possible by connecting your toy to your phone via Bluetooth, and downloading their free app, We-Connect.
Using this app is a lot easier, and a lot more fun than using the remote control. There are a whole bunch of different vibration patterns, and each one can have the power adjusted to suit. But the best feature of the app, is the ‘Connect Lover’ function.
By connecting your lover, you are handing control of your toy to your partner, whether they’re across the room, across the state, or across the world. Provided you both have an internet connection, they’ll be able to control your toy, as well as chat to you within the app, either via text or video.
Easily the best way for long distance lovers to, ahem, stay connected.
It’s also a fantastic way to keep ‘date night’ exciting. You wouldn’t even have to buzz your partner too often, as just knowing they are at your mercy will keep them on their toes all night. Everytime you reach for your phone, they’re going to be preparing themselves for some wonderful vibes. But don’t give it to them then. Tease them. Let them wait.
If you want to be super cheeky, try giving their toy a blast on full power when they head back from the bar carrying the round of drinks.
Although, maybe don’t get too carried away, because as much fun as teasing them and surprising them can be, just remember that We-Vibe have toy to suit everyone. The Sync is the perfect couple’s toy, the Moxie a great little panty vibe or the Jive or Bloom for a wearable internal toy. For the guys, there’s the Pivot or Verge for cock rings, or the Vector or Ditto for anal toys (thought the Ditto is a unisex toy, while the Vector is a prostate massaging toy).
However as I recently discovered for myself, and have since discovered many others to have the same problem, technology is not always reliable. The reviews on the app often mention being disconnected from their toy, which can be quite annoying when you’re in the middle of playtime.
Never fear, there are solutions to this.
Check your app.
As with all other applications on your phone, We-Connect is still a piece of software that can also run into trouble. Follow these two simple steps to give your software a health check.
- Double check that you’ve downloaded the most recent version, or that your app is still up to date.
- If you’re still struggling, try deleting the app and download it again.
Bluetooth.
Remember that your toy connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and there can be a whole bunch of things that can affect this simple transmission.
- Turn off headphones, speakers and other Bluetooth-enabled devices.
- Try taking your phone out of its case, as this could be interrupting the signal.
- Make sure your remote is far away from your toy. Your remote has the strongest connection to your toy, and as such the toy may simply keep trying to find the connection with the least resistance.
It was that third reason I found most interesting, and seemed to be the issue I was having. I had kept the remote close at hand, in case the app dropped out, yet it turned out to be the reason why the app would drop out. As soon as I started researching ways to keep the toy connected to my phone and read this particular trouble-shooter, it just made sense.
So if you have any connectivity issues with your We-Vibe, try the above mentioned trouble-shooters before getting angry at your new toy. Sure, the app compatibility is one of the We-Vibe’s top selling features, it still doesn’t stop the whole range being amazing, high quality toys, without being over priced.
