Keep it on. I moved from piq mainly due to customer base and volume of sale.

For next generation include a tiny screen (BT + SWat), maybe change form factor a bit. Kiteloop detection (or at least indication) would be cool.

Hi guys, past months haven't been easy by any means, but as was mentioned here already, took it on the chin, moved on and downsized a little. We are are in a very good spot now. Some great people joined the WOO crew and you'll be hearing more from us again going forward. But most importantly, a big thank you to all of our loyal supporters and customers, WOO would be nothing without you! If any evidence is needed - even though we were rather quiet for the past 12 months, activity still grew 40% year over year, and that's all on you guys!

Cheers & lots of boosting love

Great to hear from you Leo. It's been very quite around WOO...any hints on what we can expect going forward? Are there some software improvements coming (I recall the beta test group providing lots of data and ideas), new features or maybe even new hardware?

Would love to hear some more... :thumb:

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Can't talk too much about future plans right now, but yes we will work on the software! Keep posting ideas (well, maybe under a different topic :lol: ), love the feedback / ideas

Can you give dealers more then $70 bucks wiggle room per device entire industry all the pubters expect 10 to 20 percent off literally brand new released gear. Doesnt make it very worthwhile to drop a chunk on 20 devices for if your lucky 40 a pop after your crazy postage fees. Meanwhile everyone swamps you with concerns on them breaking or warranty issues misreading units etc etc shes a tuff sell.

Anyways good luck kiting NEEDS a leader board every other sport has a international leader board looks like your it and height is a good parameter do yourself a favour check out the poleys speed leaderboards and the jellyfishes distance leaderboards to see how they can be done

This was seriously hard to read. I am not sure I understood what you were trying to say. However, I am pretty there is no use putting in any more effort than I already have. ;-)

PS: Since Woo doesn't seem to be out of business, maybe the thread title should be changed.
