My Pixo was sent out but did not arrive

My Pixo was sent out but did not arrive, but when I went looking for it with neighbours, no one had it. Contacted Pixo and in just over one week they had done checks with the delivery company and re-sent the replacement.

Great Product, & Amazing Service

My Frisian is tracked without issue, all of the Pivo controls are super easy, and the customer support from Pivo is amazing! The remote that I originally received with my Pivo wasn't properly. I contacted customer service and they sorted out a replacement and everything has been working fantastic. I'm absolutely loving my Pivo!

Exceptional in every way

I have been using Pivo for 4 years and I am continually in awe of their customer service, reliability and communication. Any feedback, question and support is addressed in record time. I'm always looking to share this experience with friends, family and colleagues. I can't live without my pivo pod now for my horse training and I'm forever grateful to have such a responsive team as Pivo a click away.

Equestrians AVOID!

Bought a brand new Pivo Pod Red this month for my girlfriend. Experience was bad enough I'm writing my first online review.

There's dozens of videos online showing this exact product being used and recommended for horse riding, so had a frustrating few hours trying to find horse mode with no joy. My girlfriend emailed Pivo.

They admitted that they'd removed horse mode for new Pivo Pod Red customers, despite this exact model being used with horses in their own online YouTube marketing.

They implied my girlfriend had been duped (or was lying) about it being a new product as we'd bought it from an eBay shop. The UK registered, electrical retailer, ltd company had sold 33 of this model on ebay and had Pivo Lites in 3 different colours (each with 10+ in stock) - all second hand maybe?! Nonsense.

Pivo said if we wanted to buy the "Right" model, they'd give her 20% off from their website- implying the mistake was ours! I'd bought the exact model I wanted, they'd just removed the useful features without any warning.

It's terrible customer service - a company that will let you buy a physical product, then remove the functionality from the App (the only way to use it) and tell you it's your fault and to spend more money with them...

Looking into it, they've only removed this from newly registered users, despite Pivo Pod Reds still being in stock new from dozens of places online.

Sinisterly, it's all hidden behind subtle changes in branding and semantics. Their website says "Pivo Pods" have horse mode and we bought a "Pivo Pod (red)"... but they've renamed "Pivo Pod (red)" as "Pivo Pod Lite Classics" which they (now) clearly state doesn't have horse mode. Short of researching the history of Pivo, this is hopelessly, perhaps deliberately, confusing for customers while all models are still available.

In another post, the excuse they made was that horse mode was only ever "Beta". Beta to me, and most people, means that it's under development, so while it may still have a few bugs until a final version is released, it does NOT mean that the feature will be removed without warning. And it's not as if horse mode was a complete failure- people who registered this exact model before an arbitrary date can use it!

The ethical thing to do would be to continue to offer "horse mode" to any customer buying a Pivo Pod Red, customers who understandably expect to have it. They could remove it from the rebranded release and could surely check this with minimal extra effort (receipt, serial number, picture of packaging), even if the app can't differentiate. Instead they gouge you for more money, offering a pathetic 20% discount (they'd still make more profit from that than selling wholesale).

It's utterly untrustworthy behaviour, so don't be surprised if, even if you buy a current model, they remove features, claiming it's for customers benefit as the even more expensive models are better suited etc. "Thanks for spending money with us, but now you need to spend more"...

Oh, but you're a "valued customer [they'd] like to keep"... just not help or give you a product you can use.

Hello Steven,

We would like to apologize for the inconvenience that you experienced with our product, Pivo Pod Red.

There were product changes that took place 2 years ago, hence since then, the Pod Red was never advertised for Horse Tracking.

Since the purchase was made outside of our official store (pivo.ai), some information may not be updated, although we try to update our retailers to align our product details. Moreover, eBay is not an authorized retailer, hence it's more difficult for us to keep those listings accurate and in check.

Regarding the user and influencer contents online, those are also managed separately by the uploaders, hence it's possible that the videos from 3-4 years ago may still be circulating online, even though the information is outdated.

Our representative has sent you another response via email as we'd like to assist you further.

Once again, our goal to find a resolution for your issue. We're here to help.

Looking forward to hearing from you via our email thread.

Best,
Pivo Support

DOES NOT TRACK HORSES

Absolute nightmare does not work with horses. Will not track horse, dog or human on any setting whatsoever. Just stays still saying “searching”. Help centre just fires off automated emails with out of date links that have videos explaining an interface that’s completely different. Absolutely un useable awful waste of money just a way to ruin all your lessons and rides trying to set it up.

Returning when purchased from TV

I saw the Pivo lite advertised on CBS morning. I ordered immediately for my 8 yr old grandson not understanding it won’t work w an iPad. Later I contacted Pivo and Shane worked w me to get it returned and reordered the Max. I’m 72 yr old and can get frustrated when I can’t talk to someone to help me. But this system worked great and Shane was incredible. I’m a happy grandma!

Every great inventor faces relentless curve balls from reality and will ultimately succeed, should they not quit. This team not only won't quit, they have the fortitude to maintain a excruciatingly high degree of integrity in their relationship with the customer. These are two EXTREMELY rare traits, the dual presence of which is not seen anymore. I will be following Pivo until they go public, and I'll retire off their stock a month later lol.
