The official LB Technology software mobile app. With this app you can log into your lbtelematics account, using the same credentials, to monitor your devices. You can view a few of the basic features that the desktop application offers. For full control of your devices please visit our desktop application. Some of the features that this app delivers are the capability of viewing all of your account's devices in a HERE map right from the start in the homepage. In this map each marker is a direct link to the summary page of that particular device. If all of your devices are difficult to see in your map, the app conveniently lists all of your devices in the 'View All' page. For each device you can view their summary, alerts and activity. The summary page contains a link of the last known location of that device. The activity page contains a list of reported events, which will direct the user to a map with that location if the link is pressed. On pressing the Activity Map link, the link located inside the activity page, a map will be rendered showing the activity of that particular device with markers. Furthermore, there is an option of choosing how many markers to show on the map within the activity map page. This option will show as much as 50 markers and as few as 5. However, if the amount chosen is greater than the reported amount then the reported amount will only be shown. Please feel free to contact us before leaving a rating if you feel like there is an issue, so that we may fix the problem and deliver a better product.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: R at 50% against lbtelematics's 0%. R also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). lbtelematics's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months) and rating (3.3 vs 3.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

lbtelematics holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: lbtelematics has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of R's written reviews are positive against 0% of lbtelematics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

R ships an update every 9 months, lbtelematics monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
