nonda's Zus smart USB car charger is a fail

I was one of those people who jumped on the product even when it was still in the funding stage. I missed the deadline to actually buy it while I was on Kickstarter but I bought it  almost immediately after.  And I've had it since 2016 until now and I mean I've never really had charging problems because I never left my phone without charge for too long and so recently I've just been noticing ZUS's flaws because I haven't been charging my phone at home ave office as often as I usually did. When I need ZUS USB car charger  to charge my phobe while I'm driving, the ZUS charger does so very slowly.  I could go get a free giveaway  or dollar charger from any fair or conference I attend  and it would charge faster than the ZUS USB car charger.  Many people have written in my car and used my ZUS charger to charge their phones and they all complained as to how slowly it charge their phones. I always took their complains with a grain of salt; too many grains of salt.
I'm disappointed because I bought two of these. I kept one for myself which is what I'm complaining about right now and the second one I thought I'd give it to  someone special on a special day and I mean maybe I was selfish but I never ended up giving to someone and now I feel like it's like the ZUS car charger is  not really something I can give to anyone because it's going to charge slower than the charger they already have. I mean it's a cool feature to be able to find your car because of this car charger but if it doesn't do the primary function of charging your phone perhaps nonda should just call it a car finder.
This is an honest review from a real nonda stan. Do better.

The location feature is very cool, when it works. It's difficult to reset the device for a new location. Look at some of the reviews - reporting your location miles away (in your last parking spot) when you're standing next to the car.
The charge itself is not very good. In spite of it's claim, It's not a fast charger, as my Samsung S5 barely takes a charge when plugged in, and sometimes even slowly losing a charge when I'm using Waze for GPS directions, or streaming music via Bluetooth. It delivers such a low level of "juice" my dashcam thinks the car has been powered off during a drive!
With only those concerns, the device would garner a 3 star review, except the latest update to the android software now requires a sign-in, which means you have to register an email address to login to the software on startup! Why? To harvest emails to spam you, that's why. Right after I "confirmed" my email address, I received a request to post a positive review. Bogus!
I used a dead email address so I can continue to use it. But I don't even use the charge function anymore. I'm thinking it's almost a waste of money as I'm about to "pull the plug" on the Zus, figuratively and literally.

"Some complaints I have is that it seems to make a constant high-pitch whine, almost like a high-frequency electricity noise. It bothers me and gives me headaches. It also seems to quit at times and I have to twist [nonda's ZUS smart USB car charger] in my 12v power source to get it to work again.
"
"Charging is not as fast as mentioned.... Disconnect frequently and only charge faster when phone is fully off. Charging cable could be provided with the charger. Also could not find my car in a multistory shopping mall parking lot because of network connection. So no use where or when you mostly need.

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

my shattered heart

so i was the one to say the words, to put the ring back into your recieving hand. we were supposed to have become a happy married couple today but we became two disgruntled single people. I said I love you because I do and to talk to me if you needed to talk because I wanted you to tell me I could talk to you. You always thought that i had friends to talk to but i don't. their lives are so shiny and filled with light and to go tarnish it with my problems especially when I think I am the Problem is not feasible for me. I don't have a wonderful man anymore. I pray that he continues to find himself and grow to have a beautiful family that ill probably be envious of and a nice compassionate wife. I don't know what to do with myself. Usually people  who break up with people have somewhere to go, something to focus on. I feel like a dunce at work a pretender and i'll soon be found out and kicked out. I feel like my relationships with people all over are so shallow. ...

Life leaves me wanting.

The way I've lead my life leaves me wanting so much more. For example the last 8 years of my life could have been so much more active, or so much productive, so much more aspiring, so much more of so much more... I could have set goals for myself experimented in more ways life, love, art and faith. In my life I could have been childlike, I could asked the questions I longed to ask save for fear that if I ask them it would seem as if I was rejecting God, rejecting religion. But that's just a part of what I could have done that is so much more. I could have been so much more. I can still be so much more. the entirety of the rest of my life lies  before me. The words that I say, every one of them, a new beginning. The much more that I desire, it's within my grasp. The questions I want to ask, God's ears are open I only need ask; I only need to look forward and test the waters by doing more; to producing more and to be more active. The entirety of existence has not end...
