Very simple to use. And developer is quick with support if needed. Works nicer then my python based the app Tracker on my phone. Though it would be interesting if Smart Beaconing could be implemented. (Not just time based.) still 5 out of 5!
Great App and support

Downloaded the app, I needed help setting it up and Matt was fast and accurate. Great!
Stops tracking after a while.

Testing out the app today and it stopped tracking within 20 minutes of me turning it on and putting my phone down. Had it plugged in as well. Wasn’t doing anything else with the phone at the time. Was just driving. I do like that it lets you choose a server to connect to.
TX Only

It sends your position only. The map is only useful if stationary. If you are in motion you can’t zoom out, it keeps resizing to zoomed in. You cannot see other nearby stations or navigate to them.
