I didn't think iPhone 6 Plus required any review to see whether iPhone was good enough or not. However, you might like to see how it stacked up with others.
It was huge. But I had yet to find one that wanted smaller phones after they had used a big one. I would pick big bulky one over small in both physical dimension and battery life any day; luckily with all goodnesses iPhone 6 Plus had, it was not bulky in any way.
Everything was what you could expect from a flagship phone. Nice screen, solid, sturdy feeling and so on. I couldn't even imagine that LG G3's screen was exactly the same size as iPhone 6 Plus', but LG managed to get LG G3 in much smaller package w/o sacrificing things -- both had pretty much the same battery capacity too. Let's talk about its specialness.
Thermodo was a cool looking gadget. It would shine over most of gadgets you have on your desk. Anodized aluminum casing with a good looking brand and name, who could deny that? Basically, what it did was reading room temperature and displaying on your phone since very few set of phones had thermal sensor inside.

I backed them for an aluminum (or __premium__) one as they named in their shop. I couldn't speak for anything else.

On hardware side, as mentioned earlier, everything about it was awesome. I didn't see any flaw, but some users complained about its cap which should have been screwing type inside of snap lock. I couldn't say it was a deal breaker. Although its color did wear after usage, it did look great still I had to admit that.
On software side, when they started their project, they only claimed to have iOS app, but Android app was introduced later on. Maybe it was a stretch goal. I didn't remember much. However, as of now, their Android app was crap. Nothing is good coming out of it no matter how hard you wanted it to be. For iOS app, it did look great as advertised.

Regardless of its price, don't waste your $ or time. Not worth it. If it ever works properly, I would have recommended it because of its apperance alone. So unfortunated.
__note:__ I didn't open it up since I would have to destroy the look of it, but I bet it would be comparable to a cheap sensor found in [DHT11](https://www.adafruit.com/products/386) or so. :( I rather have a cool looking gadget although it didn't do a thing functionally.

Its built was great; screen was nice; it made me believe it was going to last long time. Legion was a plug-and-play sort of thing. Plugging into USB port wherever it is, then your phone cable to the other end. It gave you voltage, current, power, and electricity meter which you could reset. Another feature was a switch to take advantage of fast charging by disable data communications and let your phone drain all current from computer USB port. It worked fine on my 2010 MacBook Pro which switching from 2-3W draw normally to 5-6W draw instantly.

OBD, OBD-II specificly, adapter came in many forms. I used to use standalone one which gave you code, so you could look at the manual and figure out what was about. Since smartphone emerged, OBD adapter with Bluetooth and USB arrived. This was the time for Wi-Fi; better connectivity surely, faster than Bluetooth; more reliability presumably.

I backed the campaign for a developer level which had OBDLink MX WiFi and the ECUsim 2000 Ultimate.
I got this in March, 2014 while the promised delivery date was May 2013. The product was unique enough to make a year delay feasible. However, the ebook, Intro to Parallel Programming, which was add-on, was no where to be found. [There was even no word about it.](http://forums.parallella.org/viewtopic.php?t=890) I doubted that they would care writing one or issuing $25 refund anymore. I might be wrong though.
Parallella was even better than its spec. Xilinx Zynq 7010 turned out to be Zynq 7020. This 7020 board alone was worth $99 already. There were only the board and a tiny heatsink for Zynq 7020 though. No power adapter and/or micro HDMI which you needed to get it start with.
PocketScan was like a nifty tool copying any document w/o running to your flattop scanner. While alternatives are using your phone camera to take a photo, then processing via apps like CamScanner and such. For me, I was hoping that PocketScan would give a greater resolution and better contrast. Also it should have solved uneven light on the edge that every photos from camera had. While more expensive alternatives like ScanSnap scanner should be an ideal goal, I could only hope to get a comparable result with Dacuda PocketScan and scanning receipts would not be a boring task anymore.
