### 1/5 — Not accurate

*2026-05-25, version 3.8.5*

It takes a long time for the location to update and it’s not always accurate. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-05-01, version 3.8.5*

This app is horrible. When I try to log in, it fails every single time. Unless I do a complete reboot of my phone. 

If you do not reboot your phone, it will take up to minute to log in, and tell you that there is no vehicle connected to this account.

I recently updated the app, hoping that it would correct the issue. Instead, it removed the ability to lock the geo location of my vehicle. This feature just disappeared.

Complete trash

### 1/5 — Stay Away

*2026-04-10, version 3.8.0*

I have had issues with this app for so long and I’m just now figuring out this app will only work for me when I am on Wi-Fi. This has nothing to do on my end, new phone, updated software, updated app, this is completely on the makers of this app. My car was stolen and when I was at home, I could tell where it was, but when they are door dashing and changing locations every five minutes, all I could do is stop at random restaurants that I knew had Wi-Fi get on the app, open and close it till it decided to work and then see they were already gone. This was an add on at the dealership which has already been paid for and still thinking of moving over to a paid subscription and throwing this one away.

### 5/5 — FOUND THE CAR

*2026-03-18, version 3.8.0*

This app is amazing! My car was stolen and I was in a panic but my Finance guy reminded me about this! I was able to activate stolen mode and my vehicle was recovered in 20 mins!

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-03-15*

Absolute trash. First of all this app it’s so unreliable. Sometimes the app loads sometimes it doesn’t. The lock feature doesn’t work. I lock it and it’s supposed to send me a notification when the vehicle moves but see that’s the problem, it doesn’t….and whenever I do move and go somewhere else it takes hours for the location to update. If someone steals my truck I’m basically screwed because I won’t know its location for a few hours. I hate this app and tracker. Only reason I have it it’s because the dealership would not take it off.

**Developer response:** Hey, we're really sorry to hear you're having problems. We suspect you might have an installation problem and are committed to helping you resolve it. Please call our Customer Support number at 888-816-8050 and ask for Jay during business hours (CDT). We'd really like to make this right with you.

### 1/5 — Required by Dealer, Unless 3 Years Later

*2026-01-15*

This tracking device/app was essentially forced on us as part of the vehicle purchase at the dealership. Fast forward three years and it no longer works at all. The app is unreliable, provides inaccurate or missing data, and offers no meaningful support or resolution.

**Developer response:** Hello! We apologize for the negative experience you've had with the app. Your concerns are important to us, and we will investigate the issue to make this right for you. Please call our Customer Support number at 888-816-8050 during business hours (CDT) so we can help resolve this matter faster. Thank you for your feedback!

### 1/5 — Unacceptable Performance

*2025-08-28, version 3.6.6*

Considering that everybody using this got scammed into paying for a GPS tracker at a dealership, the least they could do is make an app that works. When you open the app, half the time it gets stuck in an endless loop of “checking for updates”, and when it does get to the login screen, it either gives you an error message or tells you there are no cars assigned to your account way too often.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2025-07-21, version 3.5.2*

Fails loggin spins and gives error

### 1/5 — Severely delayed and not accurate

*2025-07-08*

I’ve had this app for almost 2 years, it was okay at first but now the updates and notifications are severely delayed and sometimes it doesn’t even report where your vehicle has been. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-06-24, version 3.5.2*

Bought the tracker and like 45 months of service when I bought my vehicle. The app hardly ever works. Most of the time you start the app and it says checking for updates and just never goes further. Sometimes it will say signing in and never goes further. Every once in a blue moon it will actually work and it’s fairly nice then. If you want to actually track your vehicle get something else.
