If you’re like me, you like to change your dogs collar sometimes and don’t wanna spend the $50 that Fi wants every time you do. Plus, the metal buckle was bleeding onto my girl’s neck.
Thanks to a comment from r/bq18 , I found this and I’m already obsessed. The series 3+ fits perfectly into it, and it’s tight up against the collar. $8 for 2… like I said I’m obsessed.
We just reached out to customer service and theyre now wanting to charge us $10 for a replacement strap due to the fact that our first one broke a few months ago.
I'm frustrated that there isnt a more durable option and that I'm now having to pay due to their lack of creating a durable option.
What's worked well for you all? I've seen a few etsy options or the tile strap, but I don't know if it's worth it.
Procreate Dreams helped me out so much when I was doing the animated portion of this video! The new ways it utilized the flip book feature helped sooooo much! I’ve used Toon Boom and Flash in the past, but Dreams is by far the best to satisfy folks who are into traditional animation (: I hope y’all enjoy (I even storyboarded this in Dreams so our camera man could follow story beats as the song progressed)
It’s my dog’s birthday and Fi gave us a nice birthday card in the app. It wrote out a poem that was pretty specific about my dog, including her coat texture and a pun about her name. At the end a little watermark popped up, “powered by ChatGPT.” I‘m not a fan of AI so I didn’t like it that much. In a world where Chewy commissions artists to send out random pet portraits just out of kindness, I think Fi’s use of AI here is kind of lazy. Has your dog gotten one? What are your thoughts on it?
Sure would love to chat with a human instead of the canned bot agents that I’ve been dealing with for a week now.
Went on a long walk with our dog and because of the poor design the plastic part of the leash rubs on the front of her neck in a very specific spot.
Junk design wrapped in poor analytics no one actually cares about. Plus a monthly subscription.
Total waste of money.
7 months ago I posted how the Fi 3 untethered battery life was 1/3 of the old Fi 2, how we upgraded to the Fi 3+ on he promise of better efficiency, how at first the Fi 3+ was just as bad, but that Fi 3+ untethered battery life doubled with a promised firmware update and went from about 6 days to 12.5 days.

I’ve consistently been getting that 12.5 day untethered battery life through April. Now, with recent firmware updates, I am back down to just over 6 days again.
Fi folks, this is a huge loss of functionality. Please evaluate what changed and consider fixing. If it has to do with new AI features/etc., please provide a way to toggle them off for max battery life.
To the teams of people who fixed this little integration, thank you! It’s so nice to see that Strava automatically recognizes a walk with Fi and adjusts the title. Lovely little delight!
