I tested the product three times - each time the reading was grossly inaccurate. I've thrown it away - total waste of money
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Received my new keychain Bactrack. Great updates to the product in terms of size and operation. Not only can you use the mobile app to see your BAC but now you can also see it on the device itself. Intuitive changes made by the company and as always, very accurate. This device is a great tool to help you understand your consumption and tolerance. This does not, however, give anyone a green light to drink and drive. Be safe and use it as a fun device to share with friends. If you're drinking, find someone else to drive who isn't.
The one feature it does not have is a phone lockout. An app should be created that requires you to pass with a 0.03% or less before your phone will allow you to make calls to certain people. i.e. Ex girlfriends, your boss, family members, and others that one might regret speaking to while intoxicated.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am glad I bought this unit.

This is not a toy. It is a very small unit but it is accurate. I think people might think this is a toy from the size of it.Because of the size you can take this unit every where you go. I like that my friends know when they leave my house what there BAC is so they can decide weather it is safe to drive and what they might face.
I bought my first BACtrack Mobile device over a year ago when a friend got a DUI. Thankfully he didn't cause an accident, and everything is ok with him now, but it got me thinking that I don't know how many times I drove home from a dinner out and assumed I was okay to drive, but did I really know? Having this in my car gives me the peace of mind to test my BAC before I drive. My wife has the S80, which is great, but I love the BACtrack Mobile because I can see a graph on my phone showing when my BAC will return to 0%, the only truly safe way to drive. I also love that I can send a text from the app showing the result. I don't use that feature myself, but I intend to have my teenagers use it when they borrow the car. This review is coming long after my first purchase because my device was stolen out of my car recently. I doubt the thief knew what he was taking (along with my GPS, sunglasses, etc.) but this is something I knew I had to replace. In addition to the Mobile and my wife's S80, we have purchased several keychain models as gifts for friends. Sometimes I get funny looks when I tell people I have a breathalyzer in my car. Perhaps people think I'm a drunk or that it was court ordered. The truth, and what I explain to them, is that a simple speeding ticket becomes a life changing disaster if a police officer tests you and you're over the legal limit. I don't keep BACmobile because I am a drunk. I keep BACmobile because I am smart.
From the moment I clicked "buy" till the unit arrived was 6 days. From one side of the world to the bottom of Earth. I was lucky to use the device and was able to compare readings with the New Zealand Police and the results were spot on. I'll now be able to drive with confidance.
