Location always on required
The app is completely nonfunctional unless you allow them to always see your location no matter what even when the app is closed. That is idiotic there is no reason they need that other than spying on you.
Collar Great - App Is Spyware
The collar appears great. Lots of potential. If what you want is a Fitbit for your pet, this is it.
BAD - This app gives off vibe as data collection company and they are using this collar to do that.
The app wants ALL of YOUR data, not just the collar.
It won’t let you set up unless you give it your location data and your movement data. It literally won’t allow you to continue unless you check the boxes to give it that access.
Then when it has background app refresh on it sends you notifications that I closed and to reopen it and leave it going in the background.
It wants your Bluetooth turned on full time even though the collar has WiFi and LTE, and offers to scan my area for more devices.
I want a collar that does what they say it does. Nowhere would I have thought it relevant to the collar functionality requiring my personal phone data.

Fi is a Scam
I bought three of these and wish I could return. They are useless unless you are willing to give up your personal data that has nothing to do with your dog. I would like to know if my dog leaves the perimeter I set but the app locks if you don’t turn on your PHONE’s location tracking etc.
Success
This review was originally not great, but the team has done a wonderful job of changing my mind.
Ads & Unworking features detract
Expect daily marketing notifications and pointless “streak” notifications if you ever want to know when your dog leaves a safe zone. These cannot be turned off.
The app must fully connect to the internet to pull up the GPS map. If you don’t have internet where you are you will not find your dog. Maybe someone with access at a different location could track the dog, but that’s yet to be tested.
The walk tracker consistently stops tracking halfway through your walk, so it’s always wrong. The health monitoring would be fine if I didn’t observe myself how wrong a lot of it is. Maybe if they ditched BS we could have a better functioning app.
