Optimus 2.0 4G LTE GPS Tracker: Advanced Tracking Device for Real-Time Location Monitoring

Amanda Protheroe: I used this to keep track of my husband's odd work hours and got all the information I needed for our divorce. I hid it in our car and even though he thought I had one he never found it. The battery last extremely well and the app tells you the amount of battery left on your device. Also when it comes time to plug it up to charge it doesn't take long at all. It's affordable and I've had no problems with the app.

Jason Smitherman: This tracker works pretty well. It's not 100% accurate but close enough. The battery life is decent and it's sensitive to any kind of vibration. I get over run with alerts of movement during storms and it cost about $200 per year for service.

movingwordsandimages: I needed a device for peace of mind to help track family while they are on their daily walks. This device works perfectly for those needs.

Comparison to google maps location sharing: giving Google maps a shot made the most sense. Free, existing technology. However, it’s also terribly unreliable. There are huge gaps in time (hours) when the app might refresh to give an accurate location.

Comparison to Jiobit, the new competitor with lots of marketing hype behind it: I like the design but that is just about all. It has curved edges and has the shape of car key alarm that would fit neatly into the palm of your hand.

They have LOTS of positive testimonials from both tech and parent reviewers. BUT do yourself a favor and read the fine print from actual buyers. A lot of people complained in particular about the billing.

The Jiobit subscription appears to be permanent, as in forever! You cannot cancel independently; you have to do so via email. And when you do, your device will stop working entirely, no chance of signing back on at a later date. Goodbye $130. The only way to keep using your device to keep paying for it.

That’s when...

C. Hilliard: Bought this tracker in May 2019 as our dtr who was 20 at the time and her friend were going to travel from Texas to Georgia. This month we used it again as our dtr was traveling hundreds of miles late at night by herself for the first leg of a journey. Both times we used this we could bring up her location with out difficulty on our phone or computer, super easy to set up an account and to discontinue it when not needed. Excellent battery life, and gps location right down to the location of a car in a parking lot! Another plus is that there is a button that can be depressed until it vibrates on the front of the tracker at which time will send an emergency notification to whom you have listed as contacts. This has been a life saver in the sense that it calms your nerves, and you can track location at anytime and, the emergency button also gives a sense of security to our dtr and us that it is a lot easier to push that button than call 911. Highly recommend this to anyone---especially parents with young drivers. We explained to our dtr why we are using it, she knows when we put it in the car and is 100% ok with it. Best purchase ever and no regrets!

Marina G.: I bought one of these to keep track of a vehicle. Didn't use it at first, and set it aside. When I went to use it, I had lost the directions, so I emailed the company -- they emailed me back within the hour -- pretty impressive. It's simple to set up! For a totally honest review, here are all my thoughts: The tracker works well, although not exact, but that is to be expected, really. It gives you a general enough idea of where the vehicle is that you can figure it out. The movement alert is pretty touchy -- goes off a LOT, maybe even if there is wind, so, when the vehicle isn't in use, I just turn the movement alert off. I also bought the magnetic case to attach the tracker to the underside of the vehicle, and it works great! As for battery life, I noticed some complaints about it being too short -- I find it lasts about 2 weeks, as promised. If you keep every alert on "on" all the time, that may wear it out faster, but I really don't find it to be an issue. And it's easy. I like it so well that I ordered a 2nd one, for another vehicle. And you can name them yourself, to make it easy to differentiate between them, if you have more than one. Now, I...
