  • Awful App

    I’m returning my Bivy stick, piece of crap…the app tracking is nonexistent, crashed on startup constantly…not worth the 60 a month…get a HAM radio 📻 walky talkie or a Noah weather band radio 📻 you’re better off
  • Not good for people with poor vision

    The fonts and color of the fonts are difficult to see for someone with anything but 20/20 vision.

    The map legends and narratives can’t be zoomed and are tiny. It seems to be grey on black.

    Difficult to see in daylight.
  • Do not buy

    Really horrible interface that glitches out when tracking (can’t back out of menus), doesn’t properly send updates or receive messages, and crashes when looking at the user guide and a few other menus. Really regret this purchase
  • It's better than nothing.

    After buying a Bivy stick I quickly found that when searching for places the results are that of paid advertising many hundreds of miles away from the location searched for. Also discovered locations cannot be searched for in lat lon ie you cannot enter a coordinate and have it take you there on the map. The only way the places searched for were found was via topography land marks and then The location was saved so it could be found again. This app could use some improvement. It should be able to search places on topo maps and should have an option to opt out of paid search results.
    Hopefully they get the message HERE.

  • Useless

    The app crashed while in the backcountry and I was unable to send messages until I had service and re-installed it. Don’t risk your safety or families peace of mind
  • Bad

    Terrible app to navigate and nothing is explained very well, the tracking is a joke(if you can figure it out)
  • Disappointed

    The app and the BIVY stick are less than desirable. The app and the mobile device has NOT been throughly tested. You will be very disappointed.
  • Constant Crashing

    The app is terrible. It crashes constantly. I will give it one update but will return it and switch to Zoleo if it doesn't improve.
  • Return or do not buy

    Garbage.

    App crashes on start every time since last update on an iphone Xs Max. What a waste of money. Idk what I was thinking getting a satcom device that requires an app to hit the SOS button. Buy the inreach.
  • Password pain

    Can’t tell you what a pain it is on iOS to get a password in. If it’s strong then you can’t paste it. Also can see the password to make sure you’ve got it right.
    Please, please fix. Enable paste and enable visible text on password if desired.
