We are currently investigating reports of Bluetooth issues when connecting Pavloks and Shock clocks to Apple’s new iOS 10 update. You may encounter problems, when trying to pair or repair to your device. (*IOS 10 pairing issues) We are aware some devices are becoming non-responsive after being connected to an Iphone with IOS 10. If your device becomes non-responsive it doesn’t mean the device is broken but might need to be kept off the charger for 5-8 hours(*IOS 10 bricking issue).
Recently, iOS has released a new version of IOS 10 called IOS 10.1.1 with possible fixes to the above problems. Below you can see the exact fix related to bluetooth.
10.1.0 – 10.1.1 improvements
Other improvements and fixes
● Improves Bluetooth connectivity with 3rd party accessories
We are still working hard at investigating the problems associated with iOS 10 but we do suggest all IOS users to update to the lastest version of OS to reduce the likelihood of pairing issues.
Every OS upgrade comes with the possibility that it will cause some applications to stop working or behave incorrectly. We realize that this is not ideal and we are working with Apple to resolve this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience you experience.
If you have not yet upgraded to iOS 10, we would recommend that you do NOT upgrade until further notice. We will send out additional updates as we investigate further.
*below you will find fixes to the issues above
*I’m having trouble pairing
To troubleshoot a pairing issue, try these steps in order:
1. Force close the app.
2. Go into the Bluetooth settings on your phone.
3. Under my devices click on your Pavlok which will have a few numbers next to it and select the “i” and press “Forget Device.”
4. Turn Bluetooth off and then back on.
5. Now go back into the app and re-pair.
*Device not responding?
We are sorry you’re experiencing issue, please review the steps below to bring your Pavlok or Shock Clock back to life.
Thanks again for being a loyal customer, if you’re ever having problems with your device or breaking a habit please contact us at support@wp.pavlok.com

(Note: This article is based on my previous post from my previous (now defunct blog): The Morning Ritual: Injecting Routine In Your Day To Boost Productivity.
It’s amazing what a little bit of routine can do for your productivity.
For the last month, I’ve been formulating and following a morning routine from the moment I get up. I’ve learned, from tracking my experience over the last few days, that the simple activity of doing an action every morning allows you to get into the mindset you’ll need for a successful day.
Ask yourself: What did you do this morning? And what did you do yesterday? Was it the same?
We all wake up with a blank slate every morning, a chance to have an awesome, productive, successful day. A morning routine will help set the path for an awesome day to follow.
In the video below, you’ll see my morning routine. It’s a simple process.

Happppppppy Monday!
I hope you had an exciting weekend. This week, I’ll be bringing you some cool posts, including some updates on some cool stuff we are launching in less than a month 🙂
But for now, I’m excited to bring you this week’s episode of #motivationmonday, where you meet people who have had success in changing their habits. Today, I’m excited to introduce Kara, who recently posted her story on our Official Pavlok Users Group.
I spoke with Kara this weekend about how she changed her habit, and below, you can find the interview I did with her.
Below is our full interview.
Me: How long ago did you get a Pavlok, where did you hear about it, and what made you get it?
Kara: Ordered my Pavlok the night of your Shark Tank premiere, and received it June 21. I heard about Pavlok through a random sponsored ad on my newsfeed over a year ago. Then I read about it again on a tech newsletter I’m subscribed in.
I made the decision to get a Pavlok back in April. I started seeing a therapist and together we were able to identify my bad habits. The one thing I wanted to change was my bad habit of mindless eating. Whenever I would get stressed or feel a depressive episode coming on, I would grab whatever we had in the cabinet and just eat. I call it mindless eating though because I was not even aware. I would just eat and eat, and then when I finished the bag/box/carton I’d suddenly snap out of it and feel even worse. It just became a horrible cycle. Long story short, after being able to identify the problem, I realized Pavlok is a device I needed to help break me of my mindless eating. Funnily enough, I bought my Pavlok after I saw you guys on Shark Tank. I am so grateful you didn’t partner with him!
Lastly, Pavlok has also helped me with my depression. After I broke my mindless eating habit, I have never felt better about myself. Everyone says I’ve been so cheerful lately and they can definitely see a change in my demeanor and how I carry myself.
Me: WOW!! How did you use Pavlok to help with mindless eating? I’m interested in knowing what was your process – and did you say it helped you on your depression as well? That is amazing!
Kara: After going to talk to my therapist and starting the Pavlok app (day 1 and 2), the first step to breaking my habit is AWARENESS. Once I put the cycle together, awareness became easy. The first two days I went about my day as normal. Now that I was aware, when I reached for the food and started eating, I would shock myself. And then for every few handfuls later. Now that the zap was associated with the bad habit, I was able to snap out of it even before I even reached for the food. I’d still have lapses a few days after that, but eventually I realized “You’re not hungry! You’re just upset and you want food to fill that void”. So instead of reaching for food, I would focus on something fun or productive. I started reading more (one book a week up from a book a month), tidying up more around the house, going places on my own, EXERCISING, and getting more organized. Because my Pavlok helped me break my bad habit, in turn I was able to work on other barriers in my life. Two months ago my therapist asked me on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst) and I said a 7. This week I had my follow up and she asked me the same question and I said a 5! That’s huge!
