User reviews

Poor

Not at all accurate. Was useless in locating our swimmer.

Terrible

Very disappointing app, trying to track a solo swimmer but it won’t locate. So tried a small bunch of competitors each side of that number but only a couple show up.

Hopeless!!

1 star, buggy as it gets.

Barely works.

Not compatible Galaxy S24

Doesn’t seem to want to work with a Galaxys24+

So disappointing.

They’ve finished but the tracker has them at half way!
I’ll probably never have the chance to watch my Grandsons, do this again. Beyond devastated.
