I can not change the view at all or it will lock it up and I have to restart the whole thing. ### 3/5 — GPS Tracker comments *2018-07-27, version 5.8.1* Great app, but wish there was some way to have it and my wife’s phone app automatically sync up when one of us, who may have turned the app off for some reason, turns it back on. Now it seems we have to ask each other to resynch when that happens. Also, it would be nice to have more granularity options in updating positions (dropping the flag). ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2017-06-11, version 5.8.1* Want update like I want it to ### 3/5 — Works well when it's tracking *2016-11-08, version 5.8* For some reason, this app stops being able to track periodically. When it tracks, it's a great app and I like the ability to see movement over a period of hours. But once a day or more I have to re-open the app to reboot or something so that it can see me as do my other family members (so I can tell where they are). Not very dependable. ### 2/5 — Works great when it works *2016-09-16, version 5.5* I started with the free version, which worked well when it was working - we would have to reboot the app often to have it work, and keep it open. So we upgraded to the paid version on all phones we are tracking, but have the same problems - slightly less, but at least twice per day when driving around the city, we all have to close and re-open the app to make it work. Of course, this means that most of the time It just doesn't work as intended. Accuracy is awesome when it's working, but I'm kind of disappointed and looking for another app to use. ### 4/5 — Not a bad App *2016-05-29, version 5.5* Works pretty much as advertised. But I have experienced some of the complaints of other users, just not as much except for having to relaunch every time I turn off my IPhone or leave it in a sleep mode for several hours. The same is true for the person you're following, and that can be a real pain especially when they go up the mountain on difficult terrain or something similar for other users. ### 4/5 — So far so good.... Drains battery though. *2016-01-09, version 5.5* It does what it is supposed to do...Show my boyfriend where I am every minute of the day. And it's pretty exact which is impressive. My 2 complaints: 1) you have to keep the app running at all times for it to track you... And 2) which, in turn, doesn't help my battery life. ### 1/5 — Battery Vampire *2015-06-11, version 5.5* Basically it's an ok Application but it drains the battery incredibly fast . In the end it's not much good on any version of phone ( we tested several). If this were purchased anywhere but Apple I would return it for a refund. My recommendation is "Don't buy this" as your phone will be drained in a couple of hours. The iPhone native ap "find my phone"does a more efficient job and uses less battery, even if it doesn't have the flashy gui. ### 1/5 — Not Working *2015-06-07, version 5.5* I bought this app because my kids went on a school trip. I paid for the premium app. They left 12 hours ago and it's showing their location at my home. That is beyond frustrating. I even requested them to update their status but they never received. So now I can't track them, which is what I paid for and wanted to know. That's a big fat fail and thanks for stealing my money. ### 3/5 — Good app *2015-05-23, version 5.5* It's good and updates frequently when used. The times and locations could be more accurate, because sometimes it has me at my neighbors house when I've been in the same spot at my own home or pin drop a few then give the option to view a listed history like you can your own. Each pin should be correctly time stamped. Other than those few issues the app works great. ### 2/5 — Disappointing! *2015-04-07, version 5.5* Connecting people is complicated and tedious, the location isn't always accurate, when you close the app it keeps running and it takes hours before your notified that it finally shut down and it will kill your battery so great concept but not worth it. ### 3/5 — Decent App but Could be an Incredible App *2015-03-17, version 5.5* This app works well despite the accuracy of locations i.e. Standing in one spot for 1 hour the pins showing that location will be ranged 100ft north then 100ft south and 200ft west as if you're moving around when you're not and that is WITHOUT obstructions around.... When you are in any type building/anything with a roof location accuracy is worse.... I will often lose signal which doesn't automatically resume function when signal is received rather you must reboot the app or send a notification to the person in which you are tracking with.... Also, it would be helpful if each day had different color pins therefore determining what day is for what location rather a lot of pins and you do not know if that was Monday's pin or Thursday's pin. This app is very useful and I use it often despite the small/minuet issues, however, paying for an application makes me think the developers would invest some of the revenues back into R&D rather than being satisfied with Marginal when Excellence is SO SO close to achieve.... ### 2/5 — Deleting *2014-12-08, version 5.5* My whole family downloaded the this app as well as purchased the upgrade because you can't follow more than one person with the free version. It's a little confusing to navigate. But seems to work accurately. The free version updates location every 10 mins. The paid version says realtime but updates every few mins. It eats way to much battery life! Kids phones were dead and less than 10% this afternoon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Flacky operation *2020-05-10, version 5.9* Nice idea but very poor operation, what is the point of those useless scroll right pages! Why the useless reinvites! I don’t want to force tracking someone else I only eant someone to track me! Maybe someone will create a more useful robust app... ### 1/5 — Don’t do it *2019-10-05, version 5.9* It’s just awful don’t waste your time downloading it or paying for a upgrade which I did. Complete waste of money. It tracks you great and that is all it does as long as you stay in one spot ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2019-04-16, version 5.9* This is the worst app in the play store Apple must refund me. It doesn’t work at all it’s just one big glitch ### 1/5 — It misses the other phones when needed *2018-03-03, version 5.8.1* I have added my wife’s phone and she accepted the invitation Every time we try to locate her phone and open this app it says not available and asks to send invite What is the point of this app if it can’t keep others in connection Apple ‘s find my phone hasn’t failed yet ### 1/5 — Useless *2018-01-11, version 5.8.1* Basically useless. Have to manually, purposefully open the app every day or two to reactivate location for other family member to find me. When I try to locate my fam member’s phone, it *never* works b/c they haven’t manually opened their app lately, so my app can’t find them. Useless in real world settings. Just use FindMyPhone. Works better and is free. ### 1/5 — Horrible App asked for $ back no response *2017-08-10, version 5.8.1* This app worked for a couple days then would not update my son's position. I got it since he is a new driver. Emailed the App owner to get a credit for my $4.99 and did not hear back. Don't waste your money instead use the free Find My Friends App which works great. ### 1/5 — Not good for battery *2017-07-13, version 5.8.1* The more its on in your background the more of your battery it uses. ### 1/5 — App is crashing *2017-07-12, version 5.8.1* Scam ### 1/5 — Hate this app *2017-05-12, version 5.8.1* You have to keep updating location Would like my money back ### 1/5 — GPS Tracker *2015-11-08, version 5.5* I wanted a simple tracking device to know where my husband was when he was walking. I thought GPS tracking was the one but apparently not. I have had nothing but problems with this app and have even upgraded the app on both our phones. At this point it is showing my husband in Beachwood and myself in Chardon and we're sitting in the same car! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works pretty good *2019-01-29, version 5.9* Works easy to use! Pretty accurate ### 5/5 — Great for keeping tabs on my granddaughter *2017-10-21, version 5.8.1* Paid for the full version on October 2017. It's a nice layout, it's easy to use and it's working great so far. I really like this app. ### 5/5 — Love this! *2017-06-23, version 5.8.1* My husband has a TBI and gets lost, forgets things and doesn't remember where, etc. This app allows our family to keep him safe and find his phone if it is lost (or stolen, like it was two weeks ago.) ### 5/5 — I keep tabs on my wife *2017-03-27, version 5.8.1* I love this app. I can check my wife's whereabouts whenever I need to know if she isn't at home. Likewise, she can tell when I get to work in the morning and when I have left work to head home in the afternoon. ### 5/5 — Works good *2017-03-26, version 5.8.1* Thank to u ### 5/5 — Great tracking *2015-10-25, version 5.5* I have looked for several apps that I would be able to see the routes my husband takes. I really enjoy This one for the ease of use and the addresses that show up and he moves around. Makes it real easy for me to take him the supplies he needs at the time. Exact places and never any unknown areas. Thank you for making an app that is easy to use and read. Makes life so Much easier. Thank you so much. ### 5/5 — This App is perfect! *2015-02-06, version 5.5* I suggest buying the paid version so you can get realtime locations. It's extremely accurate with very few kinks here and there. Great way to stay up to date on a loved ones whereabouts. ### 5/5 — Awesome app!! *2014-07-06, version 5.5* My husband and I have always used tracking apps on our phones, especially when our 5 kids were young. This is by far the best tracking app we've ever used!! ### 5/5 — Wife happier while I'm traveling! *2014-04-25, version 5.4* Friends & Family seem happier now that my GPS Tracker (full version) is on. Over the river and through the woods...via the net! Thanks for bringing us closer, when we must be far away! ### 5/5 — Really does work *2014-04-09, version 5.4* No doubt an amazing tracking app that really will help you track down a girlfriend/boyfriend or family members phone. Upgrade and it works better. For 2$ it's a steal --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
