## What is GPS Tracker Tool?

More infos at gps-tracker-tool.de (support url).

WHAT IT'S NOT
- You can NOT track other phones with this app! This is a "remote control" for one of the dedicated hardware GPS trackers from the list of compatible models.
- You cannot send SMS from iPod/iPad devices. However, you can still use the LIVE tracking features.

MAJOR FEATURES
- app will draft SMS commands for you - no need to carry around the tracker's manual
- built-in compass for off-road navigation to tracker location
- offers cell triangulation as fallback
- reverse geocoding
- administration of multiple trackers
- visual set-up of geo-fence
- configurable unit system (mi, km/h – m, ft)
- quick commands = easy accessible custom commands
- in-app purchases to enable the LIVE tracking features for some models: Trip history, trip start & end alerts, speed alert, geo fences, KML export

INCOMING SMS
You just copy the whole incoming SMS and switch to the app. It will then try to match it against known formats. All data can then usually be visualized on the map. Please understand that iOS DOES NOT ALLOW to intercept incoming SMS automatically! Some tracker models can be monitored via the internet.

* InApp live tracking via Internet for these models possible. After you made the tracker connect to the server, the feature can be activated with an InApp purchase.
Model names might not always be unique amongst manufacturers, so if your tracker came with a manual, you can check for compatibility here: https://gps-tracker-tool.de/compatibility/ (see also support-url)

KNOWN PROBLEMS
- Please note that while you can send iMessages, you cannot send SMS from an iPad or iPod and therefore you would have very limited functionality on these devices. Still, an iPad would be a good choice for the LIVE tracking part.
- Since iOS 10, short messages which contain links will be broken up into two. This makes copying a whole message impossible. You might have to miss out on the app's ability to visualize an incoming message from certain trackers.

(If you experience any problem or have a feature request, please send us an e-mail. You find the address in the app's help section.)

### 5/5 — Einzigartig

*2025-06-22, version 3.8.8*

Es gibt (nach meinen Recherchen) keine weitere App in diesem Store mit vergleichbaren Eigenschaften. Diese App funktioniert wie eine „Fernbedienung“ für GPS-Tracker, die man ausschließlich über SMS und ohne Hersteller-Server/Cloud bedienen möchte. Und das für viele verschiedene Tracker-Modelle. Und sie funktioniert einwandfrei und zuverlässig!

### 4/5 — Echter Alarm fehlt

*2022-08-27, version 3.8.6*

Ich würde mir einen wirklichen Alarm wünschen, wenn mein Fahrzeug den Geozaun verlässt. Ich nutze die App als Sicherung für mein Fahrzeug, da muss es einen echten dauerhaften Alarm geben und nicht nur einen Hinweiston. Ich müsste meinen Tracker auf SMS umstellen, dann wäre dies möglich, aber dann geht der Komfort der App verloren.

### 1/5 — Paid

*2022-02-04, version 3.8.6*

The app is no more free and it is worst

### 5/5 — TK905

*2021-12-13, version 3.8.6*

M’a permis de corriger une erreur de configuration en quelques minutes,les commandes sms pré éditées c’est la seule fonction qui m’intéressait. Fait ce que ça dit

### 5/5 — Funktioniert! sehr gut!

*2021-03-31, version 3.8.4*

Diese App tut genau das, was sie verspricht. 
Die Einrichtung meines Trackers hat gut funktioniert. Hier könnte noch eine Schritt für Schritt-Anleitung nachgereicht werden, ich hab es aber auch so hinbekommen. 
Alles Andere funktioniert sehr gut. 
Für gut funktionierende Software gebe ich gern auch mal ein paar € aus. 
👍🏻weiter so!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-08-08, version 3.8.2*

Very intuitive to use, but how do you change kph to mph?

### 5/5 — Perfekter Support

*2020-06-15, version 3.8*

Funktioniert hervorragend und ist jeden Cent wert. Habe auch den Premium Live und auch hier, faire Preisgestaltung. Der Entwickler ist sehr gut zu erreichen und hilft bei (User)Problemen. Der absolute Hammer ist aber die Weiterentwicklung. Ich habe hin und wieder ein Feature vermisst, den Entwickler angeschrieben und in sage und schreibe 2 Tagen war das in der App umgesetzt. Klasse, da lebt jemand für sein Produkt. Würde auch 10 Sterne vergeben.

### 2/5 — Good app for self-fit trackers

*2019-10-06, version 3.7.10*

Looked at various on-line sites, including OEM, before opting for this tracker app 

It’s easy to set up, and has a clear GUI. 

Most impressive though is the customer feedback from Michael - if you have any issues or questions, he gets right back to you with the answers.

### 5/5 — Top App

*2019-10-04, version 3.7.10*

Habe die App seit über einem Jahr im Einsatz, einerseits als Diebstahlsicherung (Alarm bei Radius verlassen) und andererseits zum Nachverfolgen unserer Routen. Ich nutze einen Tracker in meinem Wohnwagen und einen in meinem Fahrrad. 
Ist echt empfehlenswert, erhöht das  Sicherheitsgefühl und benötigt ultra wenig Datenvolumen.

### 1/5 — Dommage 3

*2019-07-22, version 3.7.9*
