Mines is coming in today. Going right back. Didnt see i had to pay to use it

[@Explorshon123]

I was going to buy this until I found out about having to pay a monthly subscription, I was disappointed because I was looking forward to buying it.

[@fullfilledlife2911]

I'm glad you found out before buying! I actually ended up returning this for a regular crossrope. The monthly subscription is a huge deal breaker. Thanks for watching!

[@Leveluplivin]

Yep they got me. I wish I would’ve watch some videos on this

[@sshroot5565]

The AMP handles worth it only if you want to use them as the replacement or to have two pair of handles and not change everytime the rope between sets . Otherwise the handles does not worth it as you need paid subscription to use them. So a big dislike for crossrope!!!!!!

[@theoutsiderjess4869]

I like the idea of Amp being able to accurately measure how much you're jumping rope but I hate that its connected to the app as I don't want to spend extra on an app if its something you pay monthly

[@fullfilledlife2911]

agreed 1000%. paying for a monthly subscription is a bit of a deal killer for me. not sure if I'll continue to pay the subscription.

[@kikim393]

Too expensive

[@Brockthedog315]

Nice review. I have tons of cross ropes and handles. The amp is interesting but for the subscription. I use mine during my workouts and jump for shorter durations. I love the 1 to 2lbers the best. Jump on.

[@cadbad]

Thanks for the review. I have the Crossrope set with the quarter and half round ropes, which I love, and I was contemplating getting AMP handles. It is frustrating that it needs the monthly subscription, but I can understand the business model!

[@fullfilledlife2911]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!! Yeah I was definitely a bit frustrated about the subscription based system too. I ended up returning them to get the old school (dumb) handles. Love the 1/4lb!!

[@cadbad]

@@fullfilledlife2911 nice! Don't be too daunted by the 1/2 lb rope. It's so great to mix into your workouts :)

Like most commenters here and seemingly on videos like these more broadly, the subscription thing is a real sticking point for me for a couple of reasons, neither of which are cost, not exactly… more a matter or principle, perhaps. First, I'm already in the Crossrope ecosystem, owning both slim and power handles as well as .25 through to 2lb ropes. So this monthly fee to in essence continue to do what I'm already doing - I take my ropes to the gym and make jumping a part of what I do there because I hate running, I have no space at home, and I live in England so 'outside' isn't often an option - doesn't sit well with me; it's basically doubling my annual membership expenditure, for stats and 2000+ workouts I won't ever use?! Second, it's the difference between functionality and service I take issue with, in that it doesn't seem as though Crossrope does anything with the data accrued by the app, it's all 'on-device'. So if no _actual_ provision of service occurs, being held to effective ransom simply to keep a section of their app unlocked is unsavoury to me, particularly if the app's premium rate is the same whether you need/use AMP functions or not (I don't know that bit for sure, but it sure looks that way). Selling higher-priced handles that are identical in their usage to all the others until you pay _yet more money_ almost feels like some gangsta shit, to be honest! 😅 I understand the price of something is more about how much value one finds in the item than the number figure attached to it. And I'd happily buy those AMP handles, pricey as they are, 'cos I also have those days when 20 mins is hard as hell but the day before was easier, and I find metrics insightful; it's why I also have an Apple Watch… but shelling out that cash to be no better served by the technology I've paid for is unfathomable. Thanks to whomever read this, as I have no idea why I chose to share. 😃

[@thekidd7]

I chose to read this, so thank you man. Also in England bro, and the app subscription is an absolute liberty tbh. Crossrope are amazing for quality, durability etc, but for me the whole point of the ropes are to alleviate the costs of a gym membership. The ropes, handles and mat are already expensive enough. They've missed a massive trick by not including at least a 1year subscription (it should be lifetime) when you buy the handles; they'd make so much more money. I've never bought the app before also out of principle - it really should be free given what we spend otherwise.

[@StaminaMC]

Appreciate it. To me, even were the app not to be free, a one-off payment would be much more acceptable/easy to reconcile. Crossrope clearly know they’re premium priced, so it reeks of presumption that their users will always have yet more money to send their way! I don’t wanna hear about how the app costs money to maintain either: task the devs with adding more tiered functionality so those paying get only what they specifically want! ‘Take it or leave it’ is a truly bizarre business model. 😵‍💫

[@fatrick9001]

Other health tracking devices I think always have free apps, for example heart rate monitors do it this way. It's actually insulting the device is a worthless brick without paying them $10 a month forever.

[@005robo]

Once you use 1lb and you get used to it it will feel more comfortable than the 1/4. Great review!

[@fullfilledlife2911]

thank you Jesus!

[@brightantwerp]

Thanks for the review. I love the crossrope products, but will pass this one.

[@fullfilledlife2911]

thanks RB! They make great products but I agree that this one is a bit expensive for what you're getting. Thanks for watching!

[@cellist81]

Great review! I agree it's a huge sticky shock. I just started jumping and was looking for a rope that would connect to my Apple Watch or iPhone to count jumps and to keep track of my exercises. I didn't realized you had to pay a monthly subscription as well which is really upsetting as I was considering it until this:( One question I did have though about the app is how accurate is the jump count? thanks!

[@fullfilledlife2911]

thanks for checking out the video. although the app is a frustrating expense, it is actually incredibly accurate. every time I counted along with my skips the app was tracking dead accurate. Impressive tech, but silly price!

[@MrEazyer777]

Great review hate that there is a subscription

[@robinbhairam7508]

How do I change the view on the app? Mine is all white where as yours appears black? In fact your app looks different I don’t have an activity button just ‘stats’ Tnx

[@slavakuznetsov4966]

Thank you for mentioning the app is PAID and it costs 10$/month, and they just came out, and it's in addition to 200$ you pay for the AMP itself. And they can increase it any time that would render the AMP useless - you can't even connect it to the app to use the counter

[@Kojoizfreshz]

I love the concept of amp but man that app paid subscription is a deal breaker. I love their product but this isn’t it. Also you do get used to 1lb, I used it a lot and it becomes like a non weight jump rope.

[@fullfilledlife2911]

fully agreed, I hate the subscription model. They make great products but the subscription is a deal breaker. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@scatmanr1]

Can multiple people say my kids and myself track separately on the subscription app?

[@fullfilledlife2911]

from what I can tell, no. There is only one login and one profile associated with each account, so you can allocate different workouts to different people. Not yet at least. To do this I think everyone would need to have the app paid for separately on their own device. Not ideal

[@MusiqTruth]

I was gifted the Bluetooth AMP handles after purchasing the classic weighted ones 6 months ago. I was super disappointed when I found out that in order to even use the AMP handles, you must purchase a $12/mnth subscription. I found that incredibly greedy given that I’d already purchased $100+ classic ropes and my partner purchased these $100+ Bluetooth handles. When all is said and done, this would be a $280 purchase year one + an additional $80/yr subscription annually…hundreds of dollars over the life of the ropes. I would think that we’d at least be able to free jump and simply count on the app without buying a subscription. This isn’t made clear enough at the time of purchase but is written is small text on the side I the box…Make it EXPLICITLY clear that these handles WILL NOT WORK with a paid subscription. 🤢

[@joeldiaz141]

decent idea but a definite let down due to monthly subscription.

[@biophiliac9]

Good overview, but I stopped listening when I heard the app was subscription based.

[@sarethums]

Thanks for the video. I edit videos for a small youtuber, please consider practicing to speak without saying AH, it can be quite jarring. Once you have reduced, you can then remove them in post.

[@fullfilledlife2911]

thanks for the feedback!
