   Amazon Customer – February 22, 2020

   I was very skeptical when purchasing the Tracki. However I can say that I am very pleased with this product. It is incredibly easy to set up and activate. I am using this device as a theft prevention aid. The battery life lasts anywhere between 6-7 days. The only negative thing that this device has is the accuracy during a heavy storm. If the cloud cover is to thick, the device will ping the closest cell phone tower and not the actual device. But once the tracki has a clear view of the sky again all returns to normal. Customer service is great and super easy to work with. I would definitely go with this GPS.

   I’ve been involved with tracking devices since 2007. At the time they were $750. wholesale costs. The devices could only used GPS either direct or reflective mode. Anyway, these guys got it right.GPS is very sensitive. If GPS is not available due to satellite obstruction, then the unit switches to Cell Tower triangulation which is not as accurate as GPS, but still very good. Furthermore, the unit can pole the WIFI hotspots in the area to get a good location.Word is out on an update adding some additional features, once released will prove to be a valuable add-on.So, would I recommend one to any of my relatives, yes, only if I don’t want them to get lost.Good product and great service.Charles

   A.J. with customer service called me to personally make sure the question I had was answered and let me know an easy way to do what I wanted to, he was very polite and friendly and I love the personalized feel from an actual person responding to me with a call vs an automated email and he assured me I can reach him personally with any issue no matter what it is. Customer service is beyond excellent!!As for tracki, i’m loving it! At first wasn’t all that accurate but I read up on it and knew already that the longer you have it and more it communicates with satellites, the more accurate it will become so I expected that. It is much more accurate now that I’ve had it for a while longer. idk what the hell people are talking about on here saying the battery dies too quick cuz that’s simply bs. First off, it fits in the palm of your hand so come on people, can’t have that big of a battery now can it?!! Duh!! Second, i use this for my bikes, i have it set to update every 4 hours, also push notifications for when motion is detected and when it enters/leaves the geo fences I have designated on the map, literally every time i bump my bike my phone INSTANTLY gets a notice of movement, same with geo fence alerts, and I ride constantly so you’d think maybe 3 days of battery, max, right?? Wong, this thing is lasting me 5-7 days on a full charge. Third, it charges pretty quick. Fourth, it’s super easy to use and if you can’t figure it out then i end this review right where it began, with their exceptional customer service. There really is no bad here if you ask me because if you do find bad the answer is as simple as letting my homie A.J. with support know about it and he’ll have your back to help with any of the issues you could possibly have.

   Yea, so don’t use this unless you’re ABSOLUTELY ready to find out your significant other is a huge POS. Works great. Make sure you turn on the battery life to only track when in motion- it will save it’s life (while yours is falling apart). And as a side note- life after them does get better! Even if it feels like it won’t! Time heals the sadness.

   I wanted to like this and I will start out with the only positive I can think about this product. It’s small and easy to hide. Originally I was going to give this three stars but the negatives added up and then they updated the app and made things much worse. You can view history and set alarms on both the phone app and the web interface. However each interface has different abilities with some options on one but not the other. The maps looked similar until the phone app updated. The mess of lines when tracking history became even more unbearable as it lost the function of telling you the direction of travel on the phone app. You can export a log file but it has no real support for viewing on google earth, you loose all track lines and are stuck with random dot points. Pulling up history often limits you to pulling up a full days worth of tracking. So it’s not easy to single out a hour or two of when you knew a particular event happened or perhaps the time a particular person was driving unless you want to download the file and alter it using third party software..Battery life was bad. If you are actually tracking a moving object it takes more power. I did stretch it out to 2.5 days once or twice but many days I had to charge it everyday. To overcome this I was going to hard wire it into the vehicle… until they updated the app. Also note that being discrete in removing and installing it so often to charge the tracker is difficult to do. Also hard wiring it in defeats the purpose of having a small device. I even tried the low power setting turning the device off for 15 minutes then on for 5 to take a reading but it did not help much. Instructions for doing that are pretty much non existent but you can make these changes on the web interface but not the app. The app was slightly better at giving you more options for past history as long as it was in the past 24 hours. But no matter what way you checked history after a day went past you only could view full days at a time. At it’s best this tracker can update once a minute. This is actually the slowest setting for other trackers, some update every 3 to 5 seconds. What this means is that often the track will not follow roads. I also used other trackers that easily lasted 2 full weeks vs 1 day this unit often gave me. At one minute intervals it was possible to see many stops when other people got into the car. But reducing the intervals in attempt to save battery life lost the ability to see people pull over to pick somebody up. It also makes it impossible to determine what roads were actually used. It does not track data like miles driven like others do. In terms of functionally I had better luck with free apps on an old cell phone. Oops I dropped my phone in the car again? Silly me. The “magnetic mount” is actually a magnet attached to velcro and made no sense to me. The app lost functionality after they updated it. It also changed to a very plain looking map by default that actually makes it difficult to figure out the location. You can change the view to something more viewable but it always changes itself back to the default view I dislike.Update 10/17/2019As mentioned before originally I was going to give this a three star review but ended up giving it one star for all the things I already mentioned. So how did we get to this point? I am actually giving it five stars at this point.A representative reached out to me. He was very professional and actually appreciated my negative input. But more importantly I was under the impression that they strive to make the product better. I waited to update this review though, perhaps a little too long. I wanted to see the actions and improvements first. But yeah, customer service and attention to detail really impressed me.So what about those improvements that I am talking about? Both the web interface and the Android app received updates. The battery saving function is now available on all formats and it was simplified to set up. History can now be looked up without the cluttered mess of looking at a full day. The map now retains your preferred method of viewing it, the arrows are back indicating direction of travel. I added another photo so you can see for yourself the difference between the old app map and the new one that indicates direction of travel. The app is also less cluttered looking but at the same time gives you more available information. I no longer have to switch from the app to pc to get all features as everything is more uniform. I was told they would attempt to add even more features and I believe they will.The unit itself is currently selling below the competitors. It accurate. The monthly fee is also below most competitors. Battery life is still somewhat of a disappointment to me. But it normally falls between what they claim. For me usually two days as this point but at times it surprises me with a third day. I can’t take a star off for this as it is in a normal variance and as advertised. However the thing with this device is that you can choose what you want. A small device that is very lightweight for a kid to carry in a backpack or…… Get the optional battery pack/water proof holder with magnetic mount. The choice is up to you. I have not used the the extended battery pack yet but it’s charging now as I write this. Although it does add size to the small tracker it does not make it any larger than the competitors in other waterproof cases. I will perhaps update after I get familiar with how well the case/extended battery works. For now though this company has completely turned my opinion around with great customer service.Update 12/03/2020I just cancelled my service. I just wanted to say that this company changed so much in the time I started to use them. I originally hated this product but it has given me piece of mind many times. The reason I cancelled it is because my kid turned 18 and has a job now. I no longer feel I should track his every movement as he is now an adult.With the extended battery I had no problem going weeks before it needed a recharge. When the battery level dropped down to 10% I would get a low batt warning. The battery would still last about 5 days after getting the first warning (with the optional pack). The standard battery is poor though.I found the service itself to be accurate. They added many things such as running mileage and other reports. In some areas sometimes it gives you readings of KPH instead of MPH despite everything being set up correctly.Overall I am now a happy customer. Customer service always responded quickly to my concerns. Perhaps come spring time I will install this unit to track my motorcycle and get service for it turned back on but at this point it’s no longer needed.

   rcashley – August 13, 2020

   I have been using this tracking device for approx. one month now, and I will say it does a very good job.For the first week I used it with the original battery. Even though the instructions say not to put it in the trunk or the engine bay, I tried it anyway, first in the engine bay (placed high on the inside of the fender) and then the next day in the trunk (high on the inside of the fender). The tracker did a good job in both places and the accuracy was very good. The battery life with the original small battery was pretty good, it took about two days to go down to 50%. I had the settings on 1 minute (the most frequent currently available). The vehicle wasn’t in constant motion all day, so keep in mind, if it was, and reporting every minute, it would consume more battery, so you could always change to a less frequent time (5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, 120). The history of where the tracker has been is being recorded based on these reporting times. You can look up past history many ways (the last few hours or a date range). This info. can be downloaded if needed. I ordered the waterproof case with the larger battery and have been using that for the last three weeks. The battery life with it is a huge improvement (it took two weeks to go down to 50%), and I used it in the trunk and engine bay also with no negative issues. I have talked with Customer Service a few times to report my thoughts, and I will say, they are as good as anyone could hope. I have tracked my device with an iPhone/iPad and on a PC using various browsers. I will say that if you use an iPhone/iPad, and you want to see “live tracking”, there are a couple of apps that you can use. The newer Tracki app still has a few bugs they are working out (as far as seeing live tracking), but there is another app called Trackimo, and it doesn’t have all the “bells and whistles” of the new app, but “live tracking” works well on it. Keep in mind the history of the device is being recorded (no matter what app or device you use to check it), so you can always check it out from any computer with a browser. There are many applications someone could use this device for, and the tracker is so small, you could put it anywhere.

   This is an excellent device, accurate reliable and works great. I found the device and subscription price to be way better than all the other GPS trackers. I had few questions and customer service was great.

   We initially got a GPS tracking device to be able to track our special needs son in the event he would go missing. We pin it to his pocket when he goes to school, when we are out and about on the weekends, and when we go out of town or on vacation. Our biggest fear is that one day he will go missing and he won’t be able to communicate to someone who he is, where he lives, what the home number is, etc. With this device and the phone app, we have piece of mind that if he ever goes missing, we will be able to find where he is at. We love the comfort of knowing where he is at that we go one for our other child who is not special needs, just in case.We used to have another GPS tracking device that we used for a number of years, but that (as many of the older GPS tracking devices do) worked on the G2 network which is slowly being phased out. Over the last few years we’ve seen a lot of the functionality on that other GPS tracker go away. The thought of not being able to track our son was heartbreaking for us and finding a replacement GPS tracker was difficult to do because they all were using the 2G network. We finally found this Tracki device and per the specs it runs on the 3G network. I was so excited when we found this we immediately ordered a set of them. I will have to say I was skeptic at first because it seemed like such a new product (we ordered ours in August and all the reviews we were able to find anywhere were only from a few months ago) but we figured we had nothing to loose, if we weren’t happy, we could cancel service. I will have to say that this device and the company have far exceeded my expectations and my experience with other devices.The price of the device is extremely reasonable. The plans are great. Right now, since we’ve been trying it out we went with the month to month plan, but at some point we will switch to one of their yearly plans, which will save us money.The app is still relatively new. It was released in March 2019 and they are at version 2.3. I can say that it has greatly improved and they are constantly making improvements and releasing updates. The app will get a notification for any of the triggers you setup (such as enter or leave a zone you define). If you want other people to get notified of activities, they don’t need to have the app, you can setup the app to send text messages to specific mobile numbers and you can also set it up to send e-mail to specific e-mail address. It will show you the batter life that remains for the device, and you can set it to notify you if the device hits a percent battery life so that you know it’s time to recharge the battery. The batter life is great, we go a few days without having to charge it. You can set it up to refresh location every 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 minutes or even 1, 2, or 4 hours. The app will even let you “ping” the device so that it will beep. We’ve used this option a few times when the kids didn’t remember exactly where in the house they put their device. This is a great feature!! It will also let you see past history of the device movement, this might come in handy at some point if anyone goes missing.The device has some nice features as well. It has a power button so you can turn the device off at night. Other’s don’t have this. We power them down when the kids come home, that saves batter life. It has 3 buttons, one is an SOS button in case your child runs into problems, it will notify the app on the phone and let you know the SOS button was pressed. It has 2 other buttons as well that you can use for whatever you want to be notified for. It comes with a clip that you can put on, so a child can clip it to their pants. It has a little ring loop that you can put a key ring on. We put a small cable tie with a safety pin so that we could pin it to our sons pockets to make it harder to take off.You may see comments that say that the device is not accurate. I will say, based on experience on trying several GPS tracking devices, they are all like that. It might not update the second you look at the app, but it will update, just give it time.I’ve called customer support twice for help on two different items, and they were VERY accommodating and EXTREMELY helpful. In the “Help – Contact Support” section of the app, it has a button to “Call Support”, so they make it easy to get a hold of them when you need to.

    It is a very good device and the application is superb! Customer service is the best I have ever encountered!I change my review after a call from one of the developers. I was assured that my problem of too many false alarms will be fixed in the soon to come update (an option to only send alarms based on the GPS data and not from mobile antenas)So since I saw how they really care for their customers and since this device already saved my dog once (when I saw that it’s not moving so I went there and saw her being cought in a fence and couldn’t find the way out). I changed my review to 5 stars.
