As a retired privacy/security consultant, I find this a remarkable value with great functionality. The no-cost service which is included, via phone app, is remarkably flexible. I had been looking for something to track the location of my expensive ebike, which is loaded with accessories which and cargo items worth as much as the bike. While that includes an alarm and I do have a lock, the loss of the bike would work hardships on me due physical handicap and lack of any other form of transportation. Previously available options involved service charges which I would find troublesome, financially... I'm a stringent tightwad who hates both the notion of subscriptions of any kind, as well as having to have passwords. I also abhor the idea of the Cloud, because some day, any day, I expect to learn of massive security breaches because someone has found a way to hack the Cloud. It is only a matter of time, and one of the biggest Cloud providers is Red China, and one does not often know who's Cloud they are using. Not sure I'd want anything sensitive, valuable, or proprietary, on their Cloud.
If I had had these as a parent, I would have been a lot more comfortable letting my kids roam the neighborhood when younger, and about teen safety when older, should they turn up late or be unreachable when needed. 'Yes, you can go to (another city) with your friend, but please use the tracker, in case something goes wrong and you can't call.' I'm imagining Taken, the movie scenario, here... an extra layer of security for those things which should never happen, but can have terrible consequence, when they do.
Likes: good value, easy to install and set up: download the App, answer a few questions, done. Flexible App allows all manner of after-the-fact information about the tracked item or person's activities. Accuracy actually seems superior to most non military GPS systems I've played with in my day, though I'm guessing that accuracy varies dependent upon quality of cell tower signals and locations. Warns you when you should think about recharging.
Dislikes: It seemed to require recharging sooner that I would have expected, and I had a good deal of trouble plugging in the USB cord to the tracker... tight fit. There are super-tiny lights inside which are not explained in the minimal instructions which employ very fine print... you will want a magnifier if your vision isn't super. The water-proof compartment for charging does not like to be opened, and really hates being closed; I was unable to achieve the original seal/fit. Not exposed to moisture in my use.

The best selling feature - No Monthly Fee - really?
One of the best or greatest feature or selling point of this product is that, it advertises "No Monthly Fee". If it is really what it advertises and can last for at least 1~2 years, I think it is worth for the price and be a great product.So, I think it is fair for me to start it with 4 stars first, if after a year or so, it is still working and requires No fee from me, and no issue, I will upgrade it to a 5 stars.Yes, it is working upon receiving, there is a little pair of codes in the mini booklet to "activate" the service/device. Once it is done(in less than few minutes), the app can receive the location reported by the GPS tracker.The tracker is smaller than what I expected, it can be easily thrown in kid's backpack for tracking when they are on field trip!The magnet works, but not strong to the point that I can trust it and put it under a car and not worry its falling. So, potentially it can "stick" or magnetically adhere or a metal wall, object or something, but don't expect it can stick well up to something but not falling down upon shaking.There is a button, but I can't find instructions on what it is and what can it do, I will assume it is a power button.There is a "flap" on the side of this tracker, upon opening it, the nano sim can be exposed and the USB-C charging port.Upon a full charge(100%), active moving vehicle, and refresh rate is 180 seconds, it drops about 6% per 2 hours.If there is no movement, it will/may last longer.That's real-life numbers I experienced.The app is just ok, not very user friendly nor intuitive, but it works. The update rate has several "presets" which may be ok for some users, but I find definitely not enough. For example, 180s(3min), next jump is 30mins, I would prefer something in between so that I can balance the power saving and the frequency of updates. If there is an option for "manual" update frequency input, that will be great.So, and of course, there is NO "adaptive" update - which provides more frequent update if object is moving faster vs it slows down the update if object is moving slower or stationary.Anyway, at least the app can provide basic function of locating where the tracker is.I don't find any 3rd party integration available in the app or using the device with other app.As a result, there are TWO key points to keep in mind for purchasing this product:1. Hope the "No Monthly Fee" claim can stay true as long as it should.2. The proprietary app is continue to work and have updates throughout its life.If the above 2 assumptions stay true for at least one or two years, then this product is worth for what its features provided.
