WRONG! Get ParkIt instead, don’t buy the “gps locator” for this @ developers Here’s why your app/product is terrible So you require: - A physical product -App must stay open -Running in background (why both?) -Bluetooth - Track my location ALWAYS - and ? (The ?= whatever reason it doesn’t show my car, I’m ALWAYS “within 0 feet”) @ developers download ParkIt and take notes. Because: -No physical product required - I can open the app months later and see where I parked when I last used it -Doesn’t run in background -No Bluetooth obviously -Track my location WHILE USING APP -And I’ve actually got it to work without any issue -Also it’s FREE So use the money I spent on your chunk of plastic to make an app that works, so I can have what I paid for. ### 1/5 — Yep it doesn't work *2017-09-19* I'm easily 300 feet out and the app reads 0 feet. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-08-13* Bought the charger and the heads up display and the app doesn't even work...... it won't get through the permissions on my 7 plus.... why ???? **Developer response:** Thanks for your review, we are addressing this issue in an upcoming update. Please note that in order for this app to work properly, the device's Bluetooth and Location services must be enabled, and the app must be granted permission to access your location. To check the permission status, open the Settings app, go to 'Privacy' and make sure that 'Location Services' are ON; then tap on 'Location Services', find the 'PM Auto Locator' app and change it to "Always". If you do not see 'PM Auto Locator' on that list, please restart your device, launch the PM Auto Locator app and it will prompt for permission to access your location. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Never worked *2022-12-30* Never worked ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-01-03* It hooked up one time. I have tried everything it will not connect to my car. I bought several for gifts. Waste of money and embarrassing. ### 1/5 — Auto locator *2018-11-19* It seems that the autolocator does not (sometimes) tag the last parking spot and when i try to locate my car the radar goes haywire does not point to the direction where i park the car, this app needs more update. ### 1/5 — Wrong data on map *2018-10-30* I bought this as its cheap. But the App quality is cheap and it doesn’t work. If i try to navigate to my car, and pick google maps. It is showing destination as “nan, nan” and navigating to a japanese restaurant instead of my car. Waste of money ### 1/5 — Not accurate whatsoever *2018-08-10* Don’t buy it if you want to find your car in a parking lot!!! Sure if you need to remember what street you parked on it will do the trick .. the compass feature doesn’t work im 50+ feet away right now and it still says 0 feet.. this thing is basically just a 10$ usb charger ### 1/5 — Porqueria *2018-07-26* No. Da la ubicación precisa del gps. ### 1/5 — Bad buy *2018-06-10* It app did not work. ### 1/5 — Don’t work *2018-05-29* This app is horrible, don’t even attempt to wanna work.. I’m sitting in my car right now and it’s saying I’m in the other street... ### 1/5 — Poor app design and execution *2018-03-06* Although I purchased this device from Walmart so I expected some better quality from the app. This appears doesn’t even work when the app is left open and you are away or near the car. ### 1/5 — App needs work *2017-11-29* After multiple attempts to use this app I have come to the conclusion that whoever developed this app needs to go back to the drawing board. If I ever needed this device to find my car I’d end up in Timbuktu with no clue where my car was. Awfully inaccurate. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 4/5 — Seems to work fine *2018-06-26* I was ready to pan the app until I went back and checked my settings. My internet was turned off so I turned it on and tried again, and it worked as advertised. The developer in fact mentioned the internet needed to be turned on and it’s in the help files. ### 3/5 — Fingers Crossedo *2018-04-29* So I bought this locator bc it’s one of the cheapest location devices I have found. So if it’s not what I need then I didn’t go broke buying it, and if my vehicle happens to get repo’d I’m not out anything more then R$10! Recently I’ve hit a sting of bad luck and I have fallen behind on my car payment, and it was added to there repo list So I’ve not been parking it at home. And 3 to 4 times a day I will walk and make sure it’s still there! As long as it does what it says then thing will be great!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
