I needed a device for peace of mind to help track family while they are on their daily walks. This device works perfectly for those needs.
Comparison to google maps location sharing: giving Google maps a shot made the most sense. Free, existing technology. However, it’s also terribly unreliable. There are huge gaps in time (hours) when the app might refresh to give an accurate location.
Comparison to Jiobit, the new competitor with lots of marketing hype behind it: I like the design but that is just about all. It has curved edges and has the shape of car key alarm that would fit neatly into the palm of your hand.
They have LOTS of positive testimonials from both tech and parent reviewers. BUT do yourself a favor and read the fine print from actual buyers. A lot of people complained in particular about the billing.
The Jiobit subscription appears to be permanent, as in forever! You cannot cancel independently; you have to do so via email. And when you do, your device will stop working entirely, no chance of signing back on at a later date. Goodbye $130. The only way to keep using your device to keep paying for it.
That’s when I changed my keyword search to something more simple, “GPS tracking device.“ There are a lot of results that pop up. Plenty of them are very old-school, clunky, ugly-looking, outdated technologies. Among them, you’ll also see very odd pricing structures... for example, if you want to see more frequent/accurate location updates, you have to pay more, up to $30-40+ monthly.
After doing a lot of sifting, I settled on the Optimus tracker. No regrets at all.
Pros:
• Not a bad looking device. Very simple. Has a couple LED lights to let you know it’s working or charging.
• Excellent battery life - in my case, it will run for a week before going to about 50%.
• Has web based map as well as app based.
• Mobile phone app is simple, intuitive, and well designed.
• App will allow the creation of multiple Geo fences.
• App has the ability to send text notifications to multiple phone numbers.
• Device and app will allow you to choose the frequency of the location updates ranging from 10 minutes all the way down to 10 seconds… At no extra cost. (Although, the battery will drain faster at the smaller intervals.)
• Cancel any time you want! Restart your subscription anytime you want. $19/month at the time of this review.
• The price of the product is less than a quarter of what people are paying to get ripped off by Jiobit.
If I had any wishes, it might be that the device was a little bit smaller. As it is, it has the appearance and size of a tiny remote control. But given all of the advantages mentioned above, that’s
totally fine.

Reviews with images
I would recommend
So far so good, had it for a month after about two weeks it was at 35% charge. So thinking about 3.5-4weeks would be good time to charge it. It literally shows the trail of where the tracker has been. I was sick of my boyfriend’s phone dying on the road that I had this as a back up a car tracker. The only thing that kind of bugs me, is that when he makes a turn the trail would do a diagonal line from one point to another. You can go back days prior and see where the tracker went. Would recommend, it’s like $20 a month.
