Road accidents are among the most important causes of death in France. If the fault sometimes comes down to mistakes, too much glass should also be taken into account.

Picoler in the evening is a very nice action. Still, when you have to get behind the wheel, the glass of too much can be fatal for your license, but especially for your life.

Unboxing BACtrack Mobile Pro

As for the packaging, the classic, but effective. The device is accompanied by a small user manual, a cable for recharging. As a bonus, a pouch to carry it or put it in the glove box. We simply regret the lack of a small cleaning product that would make it possible to try the machine to different people during the evening.

BACtrack Mobile Pro Design

This BACtrack Mobile Pro puts on its extremely compact appearance. Of course, we can only welcome the initiative. For the rest, it's a fairly classic object that does not offer an attractive design. But it compensates for its small size. A USB port for reloading and a single button. Moreover, it is not necessarily well placed since we will tend to press it while we breathe, cutting the power supply. This is the only real fault of the product on this side.

Application / Use BACtrack Mobile Pro

Journalists until the end of the night, so we tried for you this breathalyzer. Not conscientious, it took a few pints and a few cocktails to see if the results seemed likely. The idea is that it's very simple to use, and it's held promise. Just activate the Bluetooth on the phone, launch the application and turn on the device. The connection is made instantly without any need for any maneuvers. Tap the health home screen and the process is started. We have to wait a little while everything starts. Inhale and blow until the gauge is full. Seconds later, the result falls.

Let's specify that you have to wait a little between the moment you finish your drink and the moment you blow. Alcohol vapors inside your throat can skew the result. Thus, directly after two pints, the application tells us 2 grams per liter of blood. Although it is obvious to those who know the principle that you have to wait a bit, those who do not know will not be very well guided by the application. It is marked certainly, but not visibly enough for our taste.

For the rest, it is possible to have all the statistics on a graph, but also the time at which you will be sober. An excellent idea to add when the threshold of 0.5 gram is reached, to allow those who wish to resume driving legally. Also worth noting is the ability to order an Uber from the app. For those who like to challenge themselves, you can estimate your blood alcohol level. A fun feature that also captures the difference between what we think and reality. In the end, this breathalyzer is extremely practical and functional.

BACtrack Mobile Pro, a really interesting connectivity?

To study the interest of a smart health connected ethylotest, it was compared with another ethylotest of the same brand, at the same price, but not smart health connected, the BacTrack Trace. For the same price, the interest for the one who works with a mobile application is greater. You can view charts, make a history, order an Uber or save all data in the cloud. The fact remains that the two products, sold for 100 euros, are relatively expensive compared to the first price ethylotests, which are content to give the weight, which is ultimately the most important.

Conclusion BACtrack Mobile Pro

BACtrack Mobile Pro turns out to be a great companion for occasional or regular drinkers anxious to control their blood alcohol level. The use is revealed extremely simple and intuitive. We will regret all the same extremely high purchase price compared to unconnected and basic ethylotests that start at around 15 euros. Note, however, that these are primarily "gadgets", while the BACtrack Mobile Pro is a well built product. In this sense, his design is very practical, although unattractive.

Design and ergonomics : The BACtrack mobile pro has a design that is both practical and easy to use. Very compact, it avoids a recurring problem of lack of space in a bag or pocket. We can regret a button placement a little risky and a very generic look that does not attract the eye.

Application : The application of BACtrack Mobile Pro has the good idea to be very instinctive. Its use being done when one has already drunk, it is better that it is simple to use. A nice achievement from the developers.

features : If we find a fairly thorough analysis of our consumption, the features are not legion with this product. If this seems logical considering that it is only a breathalyzer, its price let hope a little more. This lack is not shameful, but could have been filled.

use Like the application, the use of BACtrack Mobile Pro is simple and intuitive. The Bluetooth connection to the smartphone is thus done from a simple button and does not need complicated commands.

Value for money : The big weak point of this product. Even if it's smart health connected, it's called a breathalyzer. Its price is so much too high, despite its quality and the information it offers.
