Excellent app. I really like the concept since I have full control over the data. The backend is complicated to set up but used the help of Grok to set it up in 30 mins on my synology nas.

I've been using this for my family for a while now. It works great. Devs are very helpful and responsive via github. There are some nuances to how the reporting actually happens, and it's all clearly described in the documentation. Some reviewers complain that the location is wrong, but it's just how the Android significant changes API works. These people need to read the documentation!! It's all configurable, and you can push updates out to clients which is great.
