### 5/5 — Consistent & Reliable

*2022-11-10, version 2.2.21*

Fast. Functional. Has never not worked since June 2019. Also nice to have wifi in the car. I hope this app never changes. It is great for overbearing/untrusting/authoritative/micromanager parents and partners, not to mention all you paranoid potential victims of GTA without car insurance who think justice and revenge are synonymous. I love this app!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-07-06, version 2.1.44*

I’ve had this unit for about three years. Just about three months ago my door handle broke on my van and I found myself locked out of it.  One quick call and they had someone on their way to unlock the van. Because I was in a very remote place it took a few hours but sure enough help arrived and I was on my way.

### 5/5 — Saves me every time!!!

*2021-06-03, version 2.1.44*

This little device is a life saver! Every time my engine light comes on- I know the issue before I have to take it to the shop! It helped me learn that I needed a new catalytic converter a few months after I purchased this used truck. All of the check Engine light issues have been diagnosed by my sprint drive! I’m so grateful for it. It’s also a wifi device so that helps with long car rides (for the kiddo’s entertainment!) sadly it’s being phased out by a new device from T-Mobile. Glad I got mine when I did!

### 2/5 — Problems from the start

*2021-03-23, version 2.1.26*

Followed all directions to get app installed and when registration steps failed for over a month I gave up. The drive still worked in other words it did produce a hotspot. I tried to register again three months later using same steps this time it worked. Well some what. My first task was to change the default SSID and password following directions, it failed! I can’t use the app slide bar to turn the WiFi off which is what I’ve wanted to do to prevent apps on connected devices running in the background thereby using up data. The slide bar/button is yellow. Can ping it from computer but can’t log into it’s web browser to make necessary changes. App does not work properly!! Support for device or is lacking. No excuses, this should work as advertised, it doesn’t!!!!

### 5/5 — Great for a do it yourselfer!

*2021-02-13, version 2.1.26*

On 3 different occasions I was able to use the mechanic hotline to get advice to fix small issues. The mechanics were knowledgeable and gave me advice on how to get quality parts and cheaper prices. And were able to provide me with information to fix problems for myself, utilizing the codes generated by the sprint drive device. It’s money well spent!

### 5/5 — Shows offline / car parked in another area

*2021-02-04, version 2.1.26*

Have over a year and half works perfectly good. Now it shows Offline/Parked in another area but car is now at a different location. There’s a delay for some reason (like Huge Delay) As well as Car widget does not show on the map itself on the Sprint Drive App :-( Will change my rating once this is fix but overall absolutely love this gadget

### 5/5 — Sprint drive

*2021-01-21, version 2.1.26*

Excellent my truck was stolen and I was able to take the police to the exact house. They had it in the garage but I was able to see that it was pinging on my phone the police asked to open garage door and there it was. The only damage was my shifter. They couldn’t figure out how we where able to find them within 15 min..  They kept blaming each other!!!! Loved the look on there faces!!!

### 5/5 — Sprint drive is so worth it.

*2020-11-01, version 2.1.12*

At first it only worked for a month but I changed it and since it has been the best product that I have ever purchase. SPECIALLY, because it allows me to be on top of the game. The one thing that I hate about it’s that it tells me precisely when my girlfriend is cheating on me. Other than that I highly recommend you to buy it.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-08-25, version 2.1.12*

Exceptionally easy and very helpful. Our car was stolen one night. Thankfully we had this app we called the police and was able to recover our car within 10 mins of it being gone. The app also told us when our battery died and when there was a mechanical problem. This was definitely a need in our lives and we didn’t know it until something happened. Will recommend this to everyone 👍🏽

### 4/5 — better than onstar for parents with teen drivers

*2020-07-22, version 2.1.12*

I can see real time where they are, and also i can see their top speed for the last several driving cycles. this app gives me great big eyes on what they are doing and where they are and were.  the fuel tank monitoring is good but it will tell me they are low and the guage in the cars is reading 1/2 a tank.  butbit is still helpful as i can tell when they fill up.
