Lost! you were unlucky

I ended up buying three of these. The first was untracked after a week. The second got lost (didn't even send a low battery signal - tech support said the battery could die very quickly before it could send a signal), giving us a clue as to where it was. The third shows it in my house with 60% battery but can't find it. I called tech support, they said if it doesn't move it can be tracked. So maybe I'm unlucky. I paid for a year because the monthly fee is reasonable. It's still less and betterโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No performance

Do not buy in GPS trackers

The battery is terrible - it drains very quickly. Lost a child? It's better to move fast like a sea dog to beat a dying battery. The app doesn't work very well either. I was at my house in Iowa but he showed I was in a different state? And as if that wasn't enough, charging the device is difficult. The first charging station I got was loose on the charging cable - I had to lean against the wall and use books to get a tight fit. They sent a replacement charger and the same problem recurred. Iโ€ฆ

Pros

  • Hard to tell

The first impression is not very good.

I ordered Etrak and Ezoom on Revain.com and signed up for service for both devices. When I got Etrak I couldn't activate it. Had to ship it back to Etrak HQ in Texas as activation couldn't be done from Alaska. Etrak came back about a week later and the device is now activated. However, I don't see much tracking with this device. On the tracking website I set it to update every 30 minutes and then I wanted to change it to every 5 minutes. A message is displayed that the changes will take effectโ€ฆ

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Generally normal, but...

Is this device legal to sell?

Bought for my mum a little over a year ago for added security. This worked until October, I see Etrak no longer charging my account and their website is gone. I'm surprised they still sell it here. I was disappointed that neither the seller nor Etrak contacted me given the importance of the device. If my mother was hurt and needed me or my brother to help, it would prove useless. Luckily for everyone involved, that didn't happen.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide

I like that it works with Verizon

I received my ETRAK yesterday Saturday 15th November 2014. Alzheimer's outbreak, wear it. I liked that he works for Verizon, which we already do business with. However, I just tried to login to their website but it is NOT ACCESSIBLE. I tried emailing them and the email was returned. I tried calling her (1.800.279.1261) but THE PHONE IS OFF. Hmmmmmmmm. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I'll keep trying today and see what happens. If not, I will send it back as soon as possible.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Better than nothing.

I bought this with an annual maintenance plan to keep an eye on my mum who has dementia but is still functional. I glued a pin to the back for her to wear. The staff at her nursing home put it on her every morning and take it off and charge it every night. It MUST connect to the local WIFI and notify me when she disconnects from it, indicating she's going for a walk. This "enhanced" tracking isn't working for me, despite efforts from companies to help. Geofence warning system works better. It's

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
