Ratings and reviews

Before the one month trial period is even up, I only get an error message telling me to try again. I uninstalled and reinstalled, to no avail. Update. nearly 3 years later, I use the app often. It generally works well, though there are occasional location hiccups. Urban locations seem problematic, especially if on a higher floor of a building; it seems to throw off the signal timing to get an accurate location.

App stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still isn't working. App opens and as soon as it opens it automatically closes. Frustrated. Please fix. I've had this app for several years and this is the first time I've had problems. Need it for tracking my teenage driver's. T Mobile your response to my review is not applicable. As I have the app and know that it is active. It just is not working your app has bugs and is malfunctioning. No longer works on WiFi.

the problem with the service is that it is way too unspecific as to locations. where Google's find my phone will pinpoint a location to within a few feet, this app never locates closer than a tenth of a mile, usually a quarter mile or more radius. come on T Mobile...you've got to do better than this, especially for what you change for this service.
