### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2024-05-24, version 7.8*

Customer service failed to help me reset my password leaving me without access. Ultimately, they were unable to provide any solution.

### 1/5 — This app is next to useless outside of the USA

*2022-03-04*

Phone number input required a PHP in lateral thinking to get working and then it works only on US numbers. 
A pile of rubbish.

### 1/5 — Very bad!

*2022-02-23*

No chance to check the quality.

### 1/5 — Customer service works like a BAD employee:

*2022-02-20*

Doesn’t show up most of the time. I would give it zero  stars if possible.
Initial setup was a nightmare. contacted CS who called me right away and helped. I guess that was the honeymoon cause they have been a noshow
ever since. App tracking worked for a few  days and then suddenly stopped tracking family member. I had told all family members to leave location always on so when The app stopped tracking them, I deleted the app and tried to re-install. Big mistake! App asked me for a password which I never received because CS initially set everything up on the phone on their end and didn’t walk me through the setup. When trying to re-install, App would freeze and I had to reboot phone to get it to work again until it froze again after trying to set up the app again.
Tried to call and email CS again: CRICKETS!
This group could use a user friendly app that truly functions and responsive people to run it. Then they could be called a company. Oh, and do I sound PO’d? Because I am.

### 1/5 — Useless for  me !!

*2022-02-07, version 7.2*

I wanted to track my spouse SECRETLY , but this app says - enter their phone number and sends them a text asking if they approve !!?? How dumb is that?? Now he will know I’m tracking him and my life will be worse . Thanks a lot 😠

### 1/5 — Not as reliable as I had hoped

*2021-08-17*

I set this app app on my phone and my wife’s phone and it worked great for the first day then yesterday it did not update for like 14 hours. Today it’s the same thing, it is not updating since my wife left for work this morning at 9 AM it is now 1:47 PM. How can an app that works so great the first day and then completely drop off the face of the earth and not work at all the next day??? I signed up for a year on both phones and I am having to cancel that membership within this for seven day trial period.

**Developer response:** Hi Easydusit57, thanks for writing in and reviewing our app. I'm sorry you had issues getting it to work between devices, for most people the app connects and pairs and tracks just fine. Most likely the issue you experienced is that you paired the devices together at home over wifi, then when the phones where seperated Chirp could no longer communicate over cellular. In order for Chirp to work properly, background services must be enabled, GPS services must be enabled, and each device must have a good cellular internet connection. I enourage you to download and try Chirp again with these settings. I'm happy to offer you a long extended trial to make sure it's working perfect for you. Just email hello@chirpgps.com and mention this review. Thanks again.

### 1/5 — Unable to add

*2021-04-07, version 6.4*

I just subscribed and created an account.  Every time I start, I get a message to subscribe.  I’ve already subscribed.  Then after trying to process, an error message appears.  I’m eager to try the app, but am not able to move past the subscribe and error message. Please advise.  I’d at least like to try it for 7 days to see if I’d like to substitute.  Help!

### 1/5 — Chirp GPS

*2021-02-08, version 6.4*

I followed the steps. Had to provide $14.99 to download. 
Tried to locate a phone number but it did not work 
This was today 2/8/21. 
This was 7 day trial period 
It was cancelled on the same day
There should be no charge on my account.

### 1/5 — False advertisement

*2020-12-26, version 6.4*

Used the option to locate by phone number and the phone I was trying to locate (which was stolen) has to accept the invitation. Description made it seem that you could get around that.

### 5/5 — It just works. Best one I’ve used

*2026-02-23, version 8.4*

Great GPS app for my kids and employees- it does both in any groups I want. Love the weekly reports automatically sent to me too, along with the maps that I can see on the web too. Oh and I can finally track android people too with this app, it lets you track both iphones and android. Best thing is it’s easy and it works..

### 5/5 — Got me all i needed.

*2024-07-26*

Getting a possible way to remotely track my partner’s phone activities has been a nightmare, I’ve been looking for ways to go about it without his knowledge I tried a handful of tracking apps but to no avail, not until I got referred to this private investigator, I didn’t believe they could help me get the results i needed to confirm my partner’s infidelity considering the fact that I’ve put a lot into getting the information i need to call it quits with him because it was no longer just an assumption, his actions, neglect and frequency on his phone and PC made it obvious. I gave the hacker’s services a shot after losing a lot to these apps with no results. I got in touch and emailed them at CybersailHQ@gmail com, I employed their services, provided them with the required details. I did this not believing it will come to fruition just like most of the apps I’ve tried. Fortunately for me, the hack was successful and reports sent to me further confirmed my “assumptions” as my partner was cheating. On seeing text messages, emails and pictures, he denied being married to me, gosh! there and then I knew it was over. It broke me down bad, but I’m glad family and friends helped me heal. I’m Grateful to Mr Venn for unfolding the truth, I highly recommend his services.

### 5/5 — Best tracking ever! I recommend

I got referred to one Ethical hacking expert, I didn’t believe they could help me get the results i needed to confirm my partner’s infidelity considering the fact that I’ve put a lot into getting the information i need to call it quits with him because it was no longer just an assumption, his actions, neglect and frequency on his phone and PC made it obvious. I gave the hacker’s services a shot after losing a lot to these apps with no results. I got in touch and emailed them at (Cybersail HQ@gmailcom), I employed their services, provided them with the required details.

### 5/5 — Best trackers ever!

*2023-12-21*

I finally got results after looking for apps that could track a target, also which must be done remotely, without suspicion from the target, cos I needed to track my fiancé, who was being secretive and acting suspicious at the time. After numerous trials with apps that didn’t work, i got referred to a private investigator and mailed them at (CyberSail HQ@gmail) , I was briefed on the services they render which includes the one I’ve been trying to execute with this app, which didn’t work. I was skeptical about their services though and their legitimacy. But i was convinced by my friend who referred them to me, spoke to them over the phone and was assured my fiancé would be tracked without him suspecting anything. After employing their services and providing them with my fiancé’s details, it turned out i was right, my fiancé was a cheating devil, as live reports such as his text/WhatsApp messages, instagram/twitter dms, photos (deleted and undeleted) were sent to me. I was broken. Broke up with the cheat and called our engagement off. I’m glad i got value for my money, instead of wasting my time on these apps.

### 5/5 — Try this out.

This app definitely helps to keep tabs on love ones and family members but the work of such tracking apps is usually limited because you always need to access the device you want to keep tabs on in order for the tracking app to work effectively. My question is, if I can access the device I want to hack, why would I need it hacked? But I understand we hack devices due to different intentions and to recover some information that most have been deleted or kept from being easily seen. The device will need to be intercepted or completely cloned at times. Infidelity causes a lot of trauma that might be very difficult to cope with if you don't have an account of what is really going down with your spouse when you aren't together. If you keep getting this signs its most likely to be true to your spouse is cheating. That's not the end of life anyway, you can make a choice that suite you and be to your advantage for something like that to never repeat its self. For anyone that find themselves in the situation, what you need is to contact a private ethical hacker on his gmail at “HACKERLORRD @ gmail com”for any reasonable proof before you confront your cheating partner about infidelity. His service are highly rated and affordable. Regardless whether your problem is personal or commercial he will help you out, put your worry aside and give yourself a peace of mind you deserve. I'm a witness to this hacker helpful service, he is simply the best.

### 5/5 — Try this out.

We got different intents coming here to read for an app to track our partner or friends so it’s advisable to know the truth and not fall prey to evil ones. I have been in a long distance marriage because of the nature of my job, my husband cheated on me times without number but since I wasn’t around to get him caught red handed in the act, I decided to hack his cell phone to get all the data activities on his device. I got in contact with this hacker Don through the head of the IT department in my workplace. According to him, after a long search on here he got to discover this genius and swift IT personnel, this guy is the best in the game right now. He shared me his contact info, after I got in contact with him, we made a deal and I paid him, his service is very affordable. I doubted the services at first but what I felt impossible became possible within 3hours, I got access to my husband phone activities, I don’t know how he did it but it looked like a magic cause it was as if I had the phone in my palms. I got access to his location, Snapchat messages and videos, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, call logs, video chat, text messages etc all in one swipe. I’m happy I got to discover the truth, knowing is better than self doubt. He is definitely the real deal, do not hesitate to reach out to him at ‘HACKERLORRD @ gmail com’ for a perfect, quality and satisfactory spying and investigator services.
