Latest version broke Shortcuts control
Any use of shortcuts to change the monitoring mode no longer works
Regions delete?
Hello OwnTracks developer.
For what reason do you delete all regions (with a warning tough) if one changes the port of a broker connection?
Simple example: I want to enable TLS and my broker speaks TLS on 8883 and not 1883, if I try to change the port: „blabla regions will be deleted“ … I don’t get it why that is needed?

get the job done
has lots of config options and is very privacy respecting.
However, many of the advanced features are very useful but impossible to discover without reading the online documentation.

Bombe
Alles top. Menüführung nicht ganz intuitiv aber Funktioniert
Sehr zuverlässig und praktisch
Tolle App, gerade wenn man das Ganze selfhosted betreibt (in meinem Fall in einem Docker Container mit Dawarich). Arbeitet stabil und präzise. Der Akkuverbrauch bisher bei Standardeinstellungen praktisch nicht erwähnenswert. Vielen Dank.
Very nerdy GPS app
If you're a bit of a location nerd, this thing is amazing. I've been tracking my location with this for a couple of years now and it's fun to have that data on your own server and not some big company's grip.
No idea how it works
There is no onboarding, so I have no idea how it’s supposed to work. I gave it all the permissions it asked and left it running for a few days. Went back to it and saw no evidence that it was doing anything. Again not a clue how it’s supposed to work.
Last update is fantastic
The last update seems to have fixed the region-based switching of recording modes, allowing for a decent compromise between battery consumption and recording granularity.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Works with Hubitat
Seamlessly works for presence detection in Hubitat and is no cost.
Great!
Have been using it for a couple of years and could not be happier. The app is part of a much bigger solution which provides great flexibility for all sorts of use cases. I use for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, skiing. Since you operate the backend yourself the data can be used not just for tracking, finding family members, recording trails etc but even for automation tasks like controlling your smart home. Everything is private, security is state of the art and under your own control. Devs are super helpful too. Initial setup is not for beginners though despite good documentation. Once set up, it runs rock stable. 5 stars!

Ottima
Perfetta, ma in background non funziona, funziona in background solo se si è in Wi-Fi, in gsm non funziona.
Broken
I tried using the report a problem link but that page doesn’t work.
Great app but yesterdays update has broken it for me and all my users. Won’t open on the phone at all so it’s not sending locations.
Pleaser help.

Fantastic app! Just what I was looking for!
If you are looking for a private, self-hosted real-time tracking solution for your family, look no further than OwnTracks!
Is iPhone to Android Possible?
I’ve downloaded the app and it appears to be fine; just a little “glitchy”. But I’m uncertain if it’s going to work across different system platforms. Some family members have Android phones, I have an iPhone. Is this going to function across those very different operating systems?
EDIT: I’ve discovered that this app apparently must interact with an online server. That’s not doable in my scenario; I do not have, operate, maintain a server. Will be deleting app.

This is a Hero app!
Firstly thank you very much to the developer, you are a hero.
App is great, total privacy with Owntracks and Life360 is now history. (Life360 are data thieves and should be banned as seen in the news recently)
One request, how do I log daily journeys ? I need this for tracking work drives. A nice map route and/or text based journey tracking would be amazing.

immediately sends my location to the web without consent!
This app immediately sends my location off the device to a web service without my consent. It uses a lookup service to convert location to street address, and display a map.
Response from developer
Sorry to have upset you. To be honest we never thought of using the device’s native map or reverse geocoder (both from Apple) could be regarded as a privacy problem. But we take your comment seriously: In the next version uou will have the choice to use the map interactively (zooming, etc.) and the choice whether to use adress resolution. We hope you will give the app another try then.
Excellent app
This is a great application that allows users to track their location without compromising privacy with a third party spying on you. Great effort and a generous contribution to the iOS ecosystem.
Einzigartig
Ich benutze owntracks jetzt schon fast ein Jahr, vor allem in Verbindung mit iobroker. Die App funktioniert hervorragend und hat einen tollen Funktionsumfang. Aber man muss die Anleitung lesen und sich ein wenig einfuchsen.
Ich würde sogar 6 Sterne geben, wenn man bei den BT beacons nicht auf die iBeacons beschränkt wäre. Es gibt so viele nette normale BLE beacons (z.B. G-tags) und es wäre eine echte Bereicherung, wenn man diese auch einbinden könnte.
Danke für die tolle Idee, App und das ganze Drumherum!

Die App ist Super !! Leider kein MQTT o. SSL
Die App ist genau das was ich gesucht habe... was mir jedoch fehlt ist die Möglichkeit MQTT over SSL mit CloudMQTT zu sprechen. Ansonsten Top App 👍😁
Ottima applicazione!
la utilizzo per monitorare la posizione e devo dire che funziona davvero bene!
