### 4/5 — Very good but just a slight issue with the tracking

*2026-04-23, version 24.1.0*

Very good tracking app but just a bit of an issue with the share live tracking it still comes up I need to pay it but I already paid it.

### 2/5 — Great App

*2024-05-20*

I use it for work when I do ride alongs with driver all the time runs great accurate records easy to use only suggestion is to have the screen info have the ability to print it out
Now the app no longer saves maps thinking of canceling fix or I’m out

### 2/5 — I used to love this app… then it went subscription

*2024-04-24, version 22.3.1*

This app was incredible! I loved the ability to track my trips, share them in real time, and look back/export them for memories. 

Then the developer got greedy. $5/week, or $50/yr?! No thanks. 
Now my memories are trapped in this thing forever. 

Don’t make my mistake. Look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — New pricing is awful

*2024-03-22*

Appalled to see the price change from 2 to 12 dollars a month. I was using the app to record my trips and share locations with my relatives so I was using it about 4-5 times a year and didn’t mind paying 2-3 bucks a month for that. But 12 is just an overkill. Found a few apps that do the same for way less.

### 3/5 — Price increase = goodbye

*2024-03-21, version 22.3.1*

It’s a solid app. I use it once a month to provide riders on the bike rides I organize with a live look at our route. I can’t justify this 2x increase in cost. Good luck!

### 1/5 — Can’t track route on Apple Watch unless iPhone is with me.

*2021-10-07*

I subscribed to the live tracking service so that family could track me during a recent obstacle race but when I tried to start the tracker on my Apple Watch series 6 (gps+cellular), it always would say “can’t reach iPhone”. 
It only works if my phone is with me. 
The entire reason why hi got the watch and this app what is so that I would not have to drag my phone along with me having it bounce around in my pocket and risk damaging it. 
Kind of defeats the purpose of having the watch app if you still have to drag your phone along with you even though one of the selling points is that you can leave your phone behind and still live track your location from your watch.

### 1/5 — Hate update!

*2021-06-20*

Have used this app for years & hate this update!  App kept shutting off & had to constantly resume. The marked location is too easy to accidentally click & can’t find anyway to get rid of the accidental marked locations. Am searching for another app to record our trips. Certainly would not recommend this app at this time.

### 1/5 — Tech-support unavailable

*2021-04-22, version 16.1*

Downloaded the new version lost all my old routes . Sent countless of emails to tech-support no answer back I do not recommend this app.

### 3/5 — Almost great

*2021-02-04*

I’ve been using this app since before the name change. It worked much better before they changed the name. I only mention the change because before that it never died on me. These days even with the always permission for location it often stops tracking. Should they fix this problem it would be 4 stars!

### 5/5 — Real-time Tracking

*2020-10-10, version 15.1*

Used this for supporters to track our progress for a fundraising kayak on the River Thames over 6 days.

All they had to do was click on a link on our website to track our progress in real time.

Just needed to remember to pause tracking at the end of each day and restart at the beginning of the next.

Received lots of positive feedback on the real-time tracking.
