I've had my ring for a few years now and initially had the subscription. But because I didn't really use the app very much it felt a bit cheeky to keep on having to pay for a service when the ring was quite expensive in the first place. The issue is that if you don't pay for the subscription then the ring is next to useless and a complete waste of money. I get better free information from my phone. I would not recommend this ring)service to anyone
