Ratings and reviews

The shortcuts are not working in automation applications. That might be a bug in Flutter. Turning on and off the tracking background service would be part of our automations. Until it is not fixed, we simulated gui clicks to start and stop the service. Unfortunately we don't know if traccar is already running or it's stopped. 1 button to start, and another to stop would make our life easier since they had different coordinates on the GUI. Issue #23 contains useful information in the github repo.

After uninstalling and reinstalling I finally got it working on my Android phone and it works great but it doesn't update on iPhone unless you click send location.

Background tracking is still bugged. This time it's now pinging my server every 2 seconds resulting in thousands of pings a day. Not good and big battery drain. The older version worked so well. Devs need to go back and re-write the tracking code.
