PocketFinder 2

This app gives me flexibility to track all of my vehicles on one screen. It allows me to set speed limits, excessive idle time and I know start and end times. Very helpful.

I've been using this platform for a few years. It works amazingly well it's simple it's accurate and it has never failed. The mounted in all my vehicles and in my dogs collar.

I love my vehicle tracker. Have one on my sons 4Runner, one on my wife’s car and one on her mothers car. Her mother takes long trips alone and all her family can watch her progress. We also set a zone around our city so when she drives too far away when she shouldn’t be, my wife gets an alert. Personal tracker works. It’s not like the movies but it works and my wife likes knowing where her mom is on her walks. Battery life for her is 3-4 days with her going out usually 2x a day.

this helps me ensure my special needs child is where he should be and gives him more independence while helping me relax. couldnt be easier to use, once you get past the learning curve. their support is excellent. i haven’t seen this level of customer service in a long time! if you have questions, speak to them!

Tracker battery fails after a few hours despite being set according to recommended intervals. Zone notifications are either completely nonexistent or we get 3 or 4 repeated messages of the same location. We cannot rely on this device for our special needs daughters safety. We have stopped using it altogether after multiple attempts to customer service.

I should have listened to the reviews and my own instinct when I first opened their website to signup for service. The product webpage, to phrase it nicely is primitive. The same experience happened to me when I installed and configured their app. Updates on device location and status are none existent, even after reconfiguring the device for 4 minute updates, I get nothing for hours. Since this was purchased to track a disabled child, he would have ended up in Timbuktu before I got an update. Forget anything that claims real time updates. And the last part is the battery life of the device, they claim long battery life?? the thing would not even work for 8 hours on a full charge before it dies. Don’t bother to try it, it’s a waste of time.

This thing will suddenly send me 6-8 texts saying it has exited an area. But this doesn’t generate an alert? Also, I have no idea how to see where the thing is RIGHT NOW!

This product is not reliable. My wife and I purchased this product to help us keep track of an elderly parent that has the onset of Alzheimer's and dementia. Unfortunately this product is not consistent in sending text messages when the unit moves in or out of the defined zone. At one point it quit sending us text messages for a solid week. Yesterday it began to work again, and it sent a message when leaving the defined zone within two minutes, but when returning to the defined zone, it took eleven hours before it sent us a text message. I wouldn't recommend this product because it is not consistent or reliable.

--- I REALLY want this thing to work. I've had it for 2 weeks for my dad with dementia. The device cost $150 one time charge and $13 monthly charge. --- First the good news: THE TECHNOLOGY WORKS. --- (#1) My sister and I are both able to watch our dad's movements around town with our iphones and our home computers. (cool). --- (#2) EVERY time my dad leaves his house, a text message is sent to both of us within 1 to 5 minutes telling us that he has left his house. (this is the reason we got this device) --- (#3) EVERY time the help button on the device is pressed, a text message is sent to both of us within 1 to 5 minutes telling us that the help button has been pressed. (The help button has to be pressed at least 3 times in 2 seconds for the red light to light up which triggers the alert to be issued, this absolutely stops any false alerts from occuring, we LOVE it.) (We have convinced my dad that this device in his pocket is a "help button" for him to use anytime he wants someone to come help him. We don't tell him it is a tracking device to monitor his every move :-) --- Now to prove that I am not a shill for the PocketFinder company, here is the bad news: --- (#1) The device has a SERIOUS battery life issue. The device only stayed alive for 7 hours before dying. So I emailed the company. They immediately replied that they had sent a "software update" to my device and lo and behold, now the device stays alive for 21 hours. This is a TREMENDOUS improvement, BUT, to make me happy, the battery life MUST, I repeat, MUST be at least 24 hours to protect my dad. --- (#2) The accuracy of the device's GPS (Global Positioning System) is tolerably accurate. I have spent the last 2 weeks analyzing the data and most of the time (90% of the time) the accuracy is within 150 feet. But occasionally, the accuracy can be up to 390 feet off of the target. This means that to keep the device from sending FALSE alerts, you have to make the geofence a little bigger than you would like. --- Now for my final thoughts on the subject. --- The accuracy problem is probably unfixable but I TRULY can live with it. --- The battery life problem is probably fixable and MUST be fixed in order for me to be 100% happy with this product. --- I REALLY believe that the PocketFinder company will take the necessary steps to extend the battery life to at least 24 hours. --- There are several ways they can do it. --- (#1) Remotely reprogram the device's software even more. --- (#2) Stop the de

I've bought several of their devices now and haven't had problems. Good product.
