The tracker works good. The app sucks. drops the tracker, does not connect. Will not stop beeping. and yes I let customer support know. If you want to call them that. I expected so much more from a garmin tracker. I am updated to the latest version. I have it to auto update. Of course I keep checking the bluetooth and celluar and it defaults back to just one or the other, but not both. I bought this to keep track of my dog on my acres. To protect her. Everytime it drops her I panic.

I've had the device and software about three months. My Android Alpha app has consistent problems in communication via Bluetooth. The device settings cannot be transmitted to the device. The Bluetooth pairing is inconsistent. The link to "online support" has never worked. The app works fine on my wife's iPhone. The support personnel described how it worked on their iPhone but had no experience with Android. Very poor experience.
