FAQ: Sophia - The Smart Skipping Rope
For the most up-to-date information about the status of our project, check our project updates on Kickstarter!

How often do I need to recharge my rope?

We calculated about 15 hours on a single charge. That is up to one month of 30 minutes skipping a day, giving you plenty of time to remember to top the battery up. Last updated: Wed, Jan 28 2015 5:41 pm EST

Can I integrate the workout done with Sophia with other data about my day?

Sophia integrates with iOS Health and GoogleFit, so you will be able to integrate the calories you burn using Sophia with the meals you log, your sleep data, and even other activities tracked. You will have the whole picture! And if you leave Sophia on in your bag, it will track you movement thanks to the triaxial accelerometer, which is a geeky way to say…it will keep track of your steps wherever you go.

What if my phone is out of battery or at home?

Sophia works independently from your phone, so you will be able to count your jumps on the built-in display and sync the data the next time you and your phone are together again (which will probably be very soon). Last updated: Wed, Jan 28 2015 5:41 pm EST

Is Sophia compatible with my phone?

Sophia requires bluetooth 4.0 to be able to sync with your phone and keep track of your progress. We are currently planning to develop for iOS and Android platforms only, but depending on the attention received we will certainly consider developing a version of the app compatible with Windows phone in the second half of the year. Please keep checking back the campaign. Last updated: Wed, Jan 28 2015 5:41 pm EST

What’s in the box?

Sophia comes with the two ergonomic handles, a new high-quality polymer rope, and a micro-USB charging cable. Last updated: Wed, Jan 28 2015 5:41 pm EST

How long is the cord? Will I be able to buy replacement cords without the handles?

  1. Our standard cord length is 2.8m = 9.2”. 2. Yes, we will offer replacement cords on our online store at a later stage. If you need additional cords right now, please add the following amount to your pledge and sent us a quick note and we will add it to your Shipment: - Polymer - 2€ extra (please pick color) - Leather - 3.5€ extra (only with Luxe pledge) Last updated: Thu, Feb 19 2015 2:04 pm EST

Can I adjust the length of the rope?

Yes, you can adjust the length of the rope temporarily by pulling it at the top of the handles, or even permanently cut one of the ends to better suit your height. Last updated: Wed, Jan 28 2015 5:41 pm EST

I love this project! But I’m a vegan and I don’t do leather.

Shoot us a private message and let us know: we have a small batch of Sophia ropes without the leather grip, specifically designed for you. Last updated: Mon, Feb 9 2015 6:33 pm EST

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
