GBIt has worked great most of the time It has worked great most of the time. There have been approximately 3 times that we received an error message about the location of the car when our son was actively driving. Other than those few times it has been great and since installing on our son's car he knows we will know how he is driving so he is much more careful and gets fewer alerts than when we first installed it.

GBDon't buy this Inaccurate, oversensitive, and slow. The device doesn't notify the app until several minutes after a triggering event, which could be the difference between life and death in some situations. Also, the device gives hard acceleration and hard braking alerts way too often; I rode in the car with my son and the whole drive felt quite smooth and safe, but the app gave three notifications for acceleration and braking. Also, on this drive, my son never went over 50 miles per hour, yet the app said he went 60. If he wanted to, he could simply unplug the device and we would know nothing of his driving. Plus, one time, it gave an acceleration alert from 34-17 miles per hour. How do you accelerate from 34-17? I would never recommend this device to anybody.

GBThe Bouncie device is great The Bouncie device is great. I get an alert if something is wrong with the vehicle or if it's just time for maintenance. I get an alert if my elderly mother (who still drives) strays outside a pre-defined area. I can open the APP at anytime to see exactly where her vehicle is located, or just to know that she has arrived at her destination, or back home safely everyday.

GBBouncie bricked my device, thinks I should just buy a new one The one star I gave is for the fact that when the service worked, it worked well. However, today I tried to reactivate my Bouncie device after a period when I didn’t need it, only to be told by support that they are “moving away from” the network my device works on, that it will no longer work, and that I will need to purchase a new one at full price. The only “discount” they’ll offer is a 2 month free subscription. No trade in program, because (in their words) they “simply are not offering” one. I’m now stuck with a completely useless device and no way to track my vehicles. And why would I bother buying another Bouncie device when I know they’ll probably just brick that one after a year or two because of another “network” change? Thanks, Bouncie!

GBGreat design, terrible performance The design and concept are great, but the actual experience using the device as been a grade or two below mediocre. Not a single day without errors impairing its basic function ... wrong parking location (often half a mile away), missing trip data, frequent disconnect errors, etc. Customer service is responsive and even sent me a replacement device, but the problems persist. We live in a mid-size town with excellent cell coverage.
