ProjectFit for Android

The app itself is fine. It collects research and marketing data for ResMed by scanning your face and collecting survey questions, and it does both those things fine. Here’s the thing: ResMed tricks their own customers into offering up their biometric data with the promise of drawings for quite valuable Amazon gift cards . . . which, if you read the small print in their offers, you won’t actually be entered to win. So the whole thing is a bait and switch to get you to give them your facial scan . . . which I would’ve been happy to do for them, anyway, if they hadn’t shown themselves to be liars and sneaks. Now, I don’t trust them with my data.

I received an email this morning inviting me to download this app, answer some questions and do a 3-D scan of my face in return for entering a drawing for a $500 Amazon gift card. I went through all the steps - but no drawing. I clicked around and found some small print in the Official Rules link on the email. The drawing deadline was seven days before they sent me the email asking me to participate. I participated under false pretenses.

ProjectFit ask me to enter the email address I used with myAir. That’s ok with me. The email address I use for myAir does not have a .com or .net domain; it has a .family domain (this is the way I want it and I pay a yearly fee for my domain name). This email works just fine with myAir and is the email where I received the invitation to participate in ProjectFit. It appears that ProjectFit has an edit-check on the format of the email address and will only accept a domain that has 2-4 characters after the “dot”. That’s unfortunate because I would like to participate but do not want to change my email. Please update ProjectFit to accept additional email domain sizes.

This is the response I get after going through the process. Upload failed. Over. And over. Seems like, maybe don’t keep sending emails asking people to participate using an app that fails?

I had to complete twice to upload because it did not work the first time and then only the lower half of my face scanned.
