They work great and send us alerts for speeding, low gas, low battery, etc. Also, the location is very accurate. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-20, version 4.17.8* Excellent service ### 3/5 — BIG DISADVANTAGE *2026-02-14, version 4.17.7* No live speed report!!!! Have to go to life 360 in order to see if ### 5/5 — Great for Turo *2026-02-14, version 4.17.6* Had a guest get in to an accident which totaled my 2015 Hyundai Accent. Even though no air bags deployed the app notified me the second it happened. I thought only airbag crashes would send an alert so I was concerned for my guest but everyone was fine and the accident actually wasn’t that bad. It takes in to account inertia and time/ distance traveled to make its conclusion. Very smart device. ### 5/5 — Works! *2026-02-12, version 4.17.4* Works perfectly, never had an issue switching to different cars. ### 5/5 — You get what you pay for *2026-02-09, version 4.17.4* As much as I didn’t want to pay the listed amount for this device and then have to pay for a subscription on top of that I thought I would give it a try. I also tried 2 less expensive devices and my conclusion is that they worked but the software was garbage. The Bouncie does exactly what it says it will do and it does it better than you think it will. If you can spare the $ it is worth it ### 5/5 — Love this app… I can glance at my car location when I’m away from it *2026-02-06, version 4.17.4* Honestly, I downloaded this app so that I could keep track of my car‘s location when I traveled anywhere or was that an appointment or at a concert. It makes it easy to keep track of the battery as well as all the trips I’ve taken when and all the history of my drives in the past if I had one wish for this app, it would be that I wish it would tell me exactly what the battery voltage was on the display instead of giving me just bad warning or good. It would be really helpful to get a graph of the battery levels like I used to on my old app so that I could see for the past week is the battery declining with all the times it checks. If I had that then I could see a trend to see if my battery’s going bad but other than that, this is a great app and I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-02-04, version 4.17.4* I’ve tried several different GPS trackers and servers and this one is the best ### 2/5 — Painfully intermittent *2026-01-21, version 4.16.24* Paid App and device ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES ### 3/5 — The app seems to have stagnated *2026-01-19, version 4.16.24* They don’t use a lot of vehicle information or allow users to see the data they receive from the vehicle. They try to do a lot with just cell and GPS data instead of the data already being generated by the vehicle. I’ve tried to reach out to the company a few times to get a roadmap and no one could provide one… it seems like they might be slowing down on features and productivity. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lacking *2026-06-30, version 4.23.4* App does not text for vehicle errors ### 1/5 — Very Buggy! *2026-06-17, version 4.23.4* Not reliable! ### 1/5 — App Issues *2026-05-12, version 4.23.2* Seems to be delayed a lot on all information ### 1/5 — Painfully intermittent *2026-04-06, version 4.20.7* Paid App and device ONLY WORKS SOMETIMES. Constantly disconnected from cell service and gps location is incorrect and there is no way to correct it on a map for rescue purposes. NOT WORTH IT ### 1/5 — tow truck owner *2026-03-18, version 4.19.3* Service keeps unexpectedly dropping ### 1/5 — Bad update *2026-03-06, version 4.18.1* Just updated - now it won’t open. ### 1/5 — massive scam don’t download *2026-01-10, version 4.16.24* doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Good in the beginning *2026-01-09, version 4.16.24* I second this review— Since app update, when following on map, vehicle doesn't move in real time anymore. There is a choppy movement of the vehicle every 5 seconds. Plz update app with a fix. Was working great up until a few days ago. Worked flawlessly on iphone 15 pro max running ios 18.x.x. Since updating ios to 26.2 app is sluggish and choppy. PLZ FIX They start you off great. Seamless like apple. Then after a year or so it’s worthless. The app sucks and tracking is sporadic. It’s like you had 1st class and then they bumped you down to coach. Unsatisfactory. Customer service has no clue either. ### 1/5 — Not user friendly at all *2025-11-20, version 4.15.15* It is so difficult trying to find information or moving back and forth. It’s awful! I am a new user, so once I have an entire day to study this I may give another review. ### 1/5 — Progressively worse *2025-11-18, version 4.15.15* This app started out working well but continues to get more glitchy, regular dropping communications. With the latest update it now just says car not available so it’s worthless. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best There Is *2026-06-13, version 4.23.4* Cheapest GPS I have found for Corporate/Commercial Fleet Maintenance! No m MONTHLY FEE like all the other options I have tried in the past!! One time payment of $89 for the OBDII Port GPS and ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-06-08, version 4.23.4* The app is working great. It seems to be a little bit sensitive on rapid acceleration. It notifies me of rapid acceleration when getting on the freeway. I adjusted the sensitivity. We’ll see how that goes. ### 5/5 — Great Tracker *2026-05-07, version 4.23.2* This has been fabulous monitoring my fleet. A+ ### 5/5 — Sharon *2026-04-24, version 4.21.12* Excellent ### 5/5 — Great tracker *2026-04-14, version 4.21.10* I’ve had this tracker in my grandparents vehicle for years now and love the peace of mind it brings knowing they are getting around safely and that nothing critical is going wrong with their vehicle. It also helped know when to change out their aging battery when it got colder. ### 5/5 — Fleet owner *2026-03-18, version 4.19.3* Hands down best tracker out there I also have a camera system that has a tracker as well but this software is 100 times easier to navigate so I have a splitter and still pay for this one as well ### 5/5 — Best support by far *2026-03-17, version 4.19.3* Their tech support is real humans and they respond lighting fast. I host cars on Turo and I would not use any other device. Thanks Bouncie for being awesome. And thanks Kali! ### 5/5 — Awesome features *2026-03-16, version 4.18.1* My college age son had a two hour drive in a car I just purchased for him, the emergency weather feature kept us informed of his whereabouts while he navigated poor weather conditions. We could see him pull up to his dorm safe and sound. The car is too old for the onstar to work so this was a great alternative. Thank you Bouncie for a great product. ### 5/5 — Excellent to track teen driver *2026-03-13, version 4.18.1* I can review my son driving habits with this app and discuss them with him. This app tells me if he is speeding, accelerating fast, braking hard, etc. And of course, I know where he is at at all times. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2026-02-21, version 4.17.8* I have had this for about 3 years now and love it. My battery was reading low and my new car did not tell me but Bouncie did!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
