    Great For New Drivers

    • Written by from Irvine

    This device is incredible. My teenage sister had a major speeding problem. My parents installed a PocketFinder in her car, and set the speed alert to 65mph. They received a text message as soon as she exceeded the speed limit which allowed them to monitor her driving, even when they weren't in the car with her.

    My sister's driving habits immediately improved and my parents know she's driving under control and within the speed limit. Parents of teenage drivers will love these devices.

    Great idea!

    • Written by from Jacksonville

    Best overall deal I have found, after trying the beta app for the iPhone I've been waiting for this to come out to put on my hot rod so I can keep tabs on it all the time! The speed and zone alert is a really great feature as well, the accuracy on the phone alone was great (within a few feet of where I was standing) and it'll be nice to see not only where my car is-but where it has been.

    Awesome for Teen Driver

    • Written by from Long Lake

    Finally somebody made a device that helps keep my teen driver safe and alerts me when they speed, go past approved area, or get into an accident. Can't wait to try the personal device. Thank you!

    Life Saver

    • Written by from Malibu

    When my 19 year old daughter was driving in downtown Los Angeles looking for a freeway on-ramp, she made a wrong turn and lost her bearings in a maze of one-way streets and road construction detours. Before she knew it, she was in an area of town that made her very uncomfortable. Fortunately, I had installed a Pocketfinder in her car, so when she called me, frustrated and distressed, I simply logged on to my Pocketfinder account, located her and directed her to the nearest freeway on-ramp.

    I can't tell you how grateful we both were! Pocketfinder is a fabulous device! Don't send your teenage driver out without one!

Now my son can drive the family car to his friends and to his after school job with out me worrying like most parents do when there child is on his own. Now I look on my ipad and i know where he is in 30 sec, what a life changing technology. Thank you Apple

    "Watching" my teen driver

    • Written by from MORAGA

    I just received the LBT locator device which was super easy to install and to start tracking. The user interface is really easy and intuitive. I get notified by text (or email if I choose) if the car goes over a certain speed limit of my choosing. Despite my daughter knowing she shouldn't speed, it inevitably happens, which ultimately prompts further conversation about the perils and costs of speeding. As a precaution, I figured this device costs a lot less than the consequence of a potential accident or the cost of a ticket (and higher insurance fees!). Since she knows I'm now "watching", her habits are quickly changing! Safer teen drivers = safer streets!
    So my wife worries a little less, I'm going to purchase a personal locator device now to use when I'm mountain biking, trail running, skiing, and lots of other stuff! Terrific product - Thanks LBT!

    All my cars now have PocketFinders. App is gold!

    • Written by

    I originally bought one for my sons car. First for safety as he works late and I also wanted to give him a peer pressure out. Since then I now have one on my car as well as my wife's. I can see where everyone is from my phone at anytime. If someone is driving you see exactly where they are, which direction they are heading and how fast. Zones and speed alerts are easy to set up. I called support and they changed how often my devices track to every 60 seconds at no additional charge. We now use this as a part of our every day life.

    One installation tip is to make sure the GPS side is not directly below heavy metal. I connected mine inside the engine compartment of my Range Rover and had to point the antenna towards my headlights. As soon as I pointed it forward and up at about a 45 degree angle its connected perfectly. Good find Apple!!!

    Pocket finder

    • Written by from dallas

    I bought the pocket finder to test as I own Apple stock and am interested in the stock of the company which sells the pocket finder. I've tested it every way I can including all the car tracking, within the house, etc. It operates flawlessly and the battery life is as advertised. The app integration is simple to use and makes the device for tracking ideal. My kid tested it out and used it with ease. No other product has the required features needed to really be useful for tracking kids, baggage, etc. The speed alerts were perfect as well. I've left it in water for three days and it's waterproof for sure. I will use it for personal and business.

    Easy to use product with EXCELLENT customer service!

    • Written by from Brooklin

    This is the second Pocketfinder device I have purchased and activated. Set up is very easy but I had a few questions that I wanted to ask about coverage in Canada etc. The live customer service is just excellent. Instant product knowledge including Canadian set up and use (frankly unusual for a US based product). Furthermore, the 2 individuals I spoke with were just so helpful and pleasant.

    I have no affiliation with Pocketfinder but if you're looking for a reliable, easy GPS locator device with great web interface, these are great. The $12.95 monthly fee is less than half others I researched including Canada.

    Piece of mind

    • Written by from Pekin

    I purchased and installed the PocketFinder in my mother's car when she was first diagnosed with alzheimers. She has traveled out of her safety zones twice. With the help of the PockFinder and several police departments she was found and returned home safely. I recomend the pocketfinder to anyone that has a loved one who has this dreaded illness. The piece of mind is priceless.

    EXACTLY what I was looking for!

    • Written by from Laguna Hills

    I just started college out of state, in a part of town that has higher than normal rates car jacking’s and break ins. I received my car as a graduation present and wanted to look into protecting it for a cheaper cost than Low Jack. The Pocket Finder is EXACTLY what I was looking for! If anything were to happen I feel much more confident than I would without one. It was super easy to install the unit, and work the app. I am shocked that this product is just now on the market. What a great find Apple!

    Time stamp for my rental equipment

    • Written by

    I have 3 trucks that I rent out and get paid by time out in the field. There was issues regarding when they were being brought back so I look on the internet for a good gps vehicle solution and found the the pocketfinder. I had them installed in all 3 trucks and I get an email when they are back in the catering house. Now my customers are happy and I have a better account for my equipment in the field. Technology helped my business.

    Finally a great product arrives !

    • Written by from Astoria

    We are parents of 2 teenage girls who have begun driving. I have installed the pocket finder in their vehicles to monitor there driving habits. I was easily able to program the pocket finder so I would get a text anytime my daughters drove over 55 miles an hour
    This certainly relieved our anxiety and allowed us to make sure they drove responsibly,

    this product was easy to install and set up. I think it's genius !!!

    Great Value

    • Written by from Redondo Beach

    I bought the PocketFinder Vehicle tracker for my nephew's new car in lieu of LoJack. My nephew was excited about having the PocketFinder permanently mounted in his car so he can monitor it from iPhone and for us it will be a great relief to know he has this device as he heads off to college.

    Another great feature is that when I called the PocketFinder customer service line I was offered a prepaid one year service plan. Very affordable and super easy to install!
