Unreliable

This app is the worst app ever. Works whenever it wants to, if & when it does work it does not sync with real time. It freezes for long periods of time, you cannot depend on this app. It is a joke

Garbage

Whenever I drive my car I won't be notified for like 10-15 mins that their has been movement in my car. By then the car jackers could be cities away from me!

Inaccurate

Sold by the Dealership. And is a useless as Two “R”s in February. Real inaccurate GPS.

App Design is Awful

The app kind of functions okay. It’s a sluggish Cordova app that uses outdated dependencies and they don’t update anything to keep up with the changing device types. Cheaping out on the app that customers use to interface with this product doesn’t make me feel very confident about the purchase decision.

Freezes

App freezes monthly for days, refreshing app doesn’t help. Not sure why they don’t update the app to fix this problem.
