    Best Ever!!

    Best money I have spent on my children. My teenagers know that I know exactly where they are, how they got there and how fast they are/were driving. This allows them to "Blame me" when they resist peer pressure to do something I wouldn't like. Texts me when they exceed the speed I define...only happened once since I installed! Maintains comprehensive history of routes taken with speeds/locations updated every 60 seconds. Super easy to install device and load app! Would be a deal at twice the price.

    monthly fee

    to all of you that say the monthly fee is not clearly stated you are wrong. if you read the second to last bullet point of the highlights it says, "No contract—low monthly fee". so if you fully read about what you are buying you would know this. Thank you for your time.

    Great idea...poor execution...software not robust

    Works great when it works. I have experienced times where locates are delayed for an hour or so and that is very disconcerting since we are using it for peace of mind with a loved one. Software is not fully mature and can get broken from the user interface requiring the "tech team' to fix it which can be an iterative process. Customer service agents are great, but they basically forward emails to the developers. Odometer, GPS, and cell phone indicators are broken on both the web based and app software and should either be fixed or deleted. It seems they just cant get the user interface right to make it a top notch utility.

    Easy to use product with EXCELLENT customer service!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Apple versus Orange

    • Written by from Bernardsville

    Needed a GPS tracker and went right to the Apple store to find one. I figured that Apple would only endorse the best products. While I am sure that the software/App is awesome. The setup leaves something to be desired. There is a business-card size setup card and zero support on the website. Plus there are no leds on the product so you cannot verify that the GPS is powered on. A big hassle unless you are car-tech savvy or paying someone else to install.

    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.

    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 !!!

    The rare product that does MORE then advertised.
    Has multiple multiple uses if one is creative, most not listed.

    Great Value

    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!

    Keeping Tabs on my Car

    • Written by from SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO

    This is the perfect device if you are looking for an easy way to locate your vehicle and the people or things in it. I use the device to locate the equipment that I frequently keep inside the trunk. So this gives me that extra confidence knowing that if something happens to my car, I've got a way to quickly locate it.

    The best part is that after you install the device, it's completely hassle free. It just stays on your car 24/7. The app is simple to use and I can quickly manage my zones and alerts while I'm on the move.

    I definitely recommend it to anyone.

    All my cars now have PocketFinders. App is gold!

    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!!!
