### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-05-15, version 1.5.0*

Excellent way of setting some functionality on this tracker. More options would be useful and have listed them for you but as I do not have a Facebook account I cannot send them. It keeps failing. Any other way I can send them would be helpful.

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2021-04-30, version 1.5.0*

Al run well. But the geogence/stockard makes probl. 
It shows me an other area 20 km far away from my act position. 
Is the a sabed geo inside my tracker103B? Max I have to do a reset again and start from the beginning. 

Are there some orher with simular probl?
