Relatively good app, although plagued with disturbing bugs. For example, my house sits in the middle of my 3.5-acre property. My "Safe Zone" follows the property lines. Quite often, Mitzi will be in the house, and I'll get the dreaded "Mitzi outside of Safe zone" message. That's alarming when I'm somewhere else, like grocery shopping. The other persistent and irritating bug is the "Something went wrong" message when I'm sitting right next to Mitzi, and I try to refresh for updated stats.

There's not enough Fail-safes. our cats tractives commonly get lost in the power saving zone and there's no way to track where it is in power saving.... yeah you have Bluetooth radar but you have to be close to your tracker to even use it which is a little hard when you don't know where it is in power saving and power saving with history is touchy too. not to mention power-saving could range from your suburb backyard to a huge area...

EDIT: Tractive saw this review and reached out to make it right. updating to 5 star for excellent customer service. i just got charged for a service i don't use. i was pretty sure i had canceled so i went to try again. Now i realize there are like 5 or 6 clicks that look like "cancel" but are actually "are you sureee?" and "pause instead?" and now I'm out $132. The tracker is mid, I'm using something else that works better and doesn't require a (shady) subscription plan.
