  • Camping saver!

    We are in Wyoming, and the vast majority of our camping is in the mountains or out of service. This allows us to communicate with friends and family regularly and send them our location if they want to meet up. Live the app and the features. Especially messaging from my phone seamlessly. If you are out of a town a lot of the time no cell service. This has changed out piece of mind when camping. Especially with small children and my elderly parents. ❤️❤️❤️

  • Can’t send messages

    My partner is using his ZOLEO device on a trip. I can receive his messages but mine aren’t being delivered. So so frustrating.
  • Great app

    Love the app. The subscription is a bit more expensive than I think it should be.
  • Functionally speaking fantastic! UI could have some adjustments:)

    Firstly, I love how functional this is. I was deep sea fishing off alaska and it worked, hiking a glacier in a decent canyon and It still worked. The Chat function is great.

    Some areas for improvement, adjusting the settings (device sound, device light etc. message check rate) is not super intuitive and is pretty buried. I would like to be able to adjust that on the fly like I do my cell phone ring, and be able to adjust the interval a lot quicker:)

    But overall, very grateful for it.

  • Love staying connected

    I took my Zoleo device on a seven day backpacking trip and was able to stay in touch with family letting them know my location as well as updates to my trip. I also was able to get crucial weather updates. Having this along made my trip that much more enjoyable and kept my family at peace while in the backcountry.

  • A must for pilots

    I had friends, fellow pilots, mechanics and even an ATC friend download the app. No other better way to keep in touch. I hope I never use it in an emergency but it offers such a peace of mind to know it’s there. Amazing to be able to be in touch from anywhere.
  • Amazing App for communicating anywhere on earth!!

    I love my Zoleo satellite communicator and when used with the Zoleo App its just like having WhatsApp access anywhere on earth, except it’s running the Zoleo App messaging service and anyone can contact me on satellite. Cell or WiFi!!

    Awesome job!!
  • Fantastic

    I’m a long time user of satellite communicators. To this point, I’ve used a service that was on a competing satellite service, and was happy with it. When I read about ZOLEO follow me option that would use cell WiFi backup, I figured I would give this a try.

    Living in a no cell reception area, when the DSL drops out, I’m in the dark. I need a sure thing, when at home and traveling in the ruff terrain. Here is what I’ve have found:

    ZOLEO gives you confidence that no message is lost, thanks to the follow me. The reception on this network is much much faster and stronger than its competition. The weather option is another fantastic upgrade for me. The app is flawless as far as I can see. This device can receive firmware updates over Bluetooth, much nicer than having to drag out the old laptop to update.

    A bit of advice to yet another cool feature, the counties around me have an emergency alert system (local sheriffs) that can deliver messages via text or email. Texts do not work for me, because they need a popular carrier, but since you get an email address with this too, I easily set these up and on WiFi, cell, or satellite I can get critical threats and weather alerts delivered right to the app.

    I liked my old device, but honestly, this device is much faster and reliable. The app on the phone is light years ahead of any I’ve ever used.

    My only criticism is that there is no current usage counter on this device. It would be nice to be able to check the messages used, at least via the www.

  • Nice, but needs a mapping feature

    All in all, I’m very happy with the Zoleo communication device and the app. However to truly compete with the other devices, they absolutely need to add some form of mapping feature. That would get the 5th star. Till then I’ll keep my Garmin handy.
  • Fantastic!

    The zoleo itself and this app are both fantastic. Everything works seamlessly every time I boot on the device. Initially there was a hiccup where the app was crashing, but that was all resolved in a matter of minutes after I called zoleo support. If you’re having issue look up their number and give them a call.
