Absolute rubbish

Several times a week this app doesn’t locate us. Today, it hasn’t located my son in SIX days, my daughter in two, and now, apparently, my husband is stuck on a main street and has been for an hour. And they tell me I’ve been off grid for four. Why? All our permissions are granted! They’re never cut off, so why is it so hard to track in this hard, cold world?

Stuck

My phones get stuck in locations for hours and the only way to get them to move is to reboot all phones.

Not accurate

It says one member of my family is sitting on the other side of a lake and been there for 3 weeks. He is currently an hour drive away from where it says he is at.

Comfort

After the death of both my husband and my daughter in 2021, Onstar has continued to keep the remaining family I have in my view. Through Onstar, I find comfort knowing that they are OK.

Senseless

I only want roadside assistance. I don’t want to give you access to track me 24x7, motion and fitness activity, along with everything else. If I don’t do that then you want let me access the app. How stupid. Typical of brain dead GM. So I will enable all that privacy invasion if I need roadside to enable the app. My car and phone already have crash protection. The only reason I installed this garbage is because of my in-laws and wife worrying with it.
