Does this sync to your laptop or do you need a smart phone? Thanks

While there is a computer based dashboard, the device only connects to smartphone and iPad via bluetooth; in turn the dashboard (connected to your account) gets sync'd

You need to use an Apple iOS device or an Android phone. I use my iPod Touch.

I only use my smartphone however you can see all of your data via the Withings Healthmate website. I have never tried to sync directly with a PC.

Hi Mary, It will not sync directly to your PC but to your smart phone using Bluetooth. Your smart phone will then sync to the Withings website. The data will not be stored at your laptop. The good news here is that it will also work with older smart phones as it is both Bluetooth version 2 and 4 compatible.

Beats me. I used a smartphone. Ask the Withings guys. They have an online chat button.

The Pulse syncs only to smartphones, even not new ones. My wife has a 3 years old Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.6, that is the minimum requirement. However the synced data are then viewable from any pc, on the Withings website. In other words the smartphone serves as a bridge.

I have live streamed it to my Motorola Atrix II, but I have not tried to link it to a laptop. It searches for a bluetooth device that has the Looxie app installed.

The one I bought does not. I do not miss it much since I use another laptop to communicate to others or my cell phone, so you would have to definitely consider this.

I use mine with my computer - to sync, update and recharge the battery - and not with my phone. You can also recharge the battery in your auto or by plugging into an electrical outlet. As far as syncing and updating software, I believe you can use it with whichever device you have downloaded the Striiv software. Hope this information helps.

You can use it without a smartphone, you can sync it to your computer. Without it the only problem is after 12:00am it goes to the next day so you won't be able to see your steps for the past day, it will say 0 steps

If you can get the app installed on the laptop then it should work fine. It's really easy on a smartphone.

It will not work with a computer...not that I have figured out. I couldn't get it to work on. Y iPad either, just my phone, which is an android. But I can't get it to sync EVER so now it's kind of useless.

Sorry for the late response. No you don't need to set up with an pc, just pair it with your bluetooth in your phone.

No, PC not required. You can setup the camera using the mobile phone. My camera connected to WIFI network. Works great! Highly recommended!

No. It has to be physically plugged in to sync through the case unless you're using wireless syncing, in which case - yes.

Connecting a cell phone is your choice. I believe as long as you don't turn on Bluetooth it won't ask to download any of your info.

It does not need to be connected to a computer. You may use it connected to the network via a network cable if you have access to a port nearby. If you do not plan on having it near a network port or a computer, it will collect punches offline, and then sync those punches once connected to either a computer or to the network via the network cable.

There are free apps to download to your smart phone either Android (Google Play) or IPhone (ITunes) and you can record or snap a picture from your phone. No computer needed.

It has a PC connector (separate connectors for mic and headphones), so you will need a Y adapter to use it with a smartphone

It has bluetooth for connecting to your phone, but it has a USB wireless thumb adapter for getting sounds from your computer. You can use them simultaneously (if your phone rings, it will mute your USB wireless and the bluetooth controls will take over). Best of both worlds really.

Don't need to sync... just plug in to your computer and the Pyle will show up as a external drive - you just input or drag your music onto the Pyle icon
