Hi KC, Thank you for your feedback. We are so sorry to hear that the app is slow and not tracking for you. This is not the experience we want you to have. We want to make this right. Please reach out to our support team at gps@petlink.net so we can look into these issues.
Awesome product for my lab/prynese mix, who of course, loves to wonder! The new app is slower than the old app at connecting with device. And it seems to have a delay. Overall great product.

Had to buy 2 batteries dont last...requires two gps fees. So I needs 2 trackers for one dog. How do you tell your dog to remain still for 2 hours while you recharge

Hi Jeff, We completely understand your frustration and appreciate you sharing your thoughts. A GPS tracker should make your life easier, not more difficult! You never need to ask your dog to sit still while a tracker charges. The ideal solution is to charge your device while your pet is indoors or when the device is not needed.
The average battery life of the PetLinkGPS is influenced by the following factors:
A) Your surrounding environment:
• Cellular coverage: less coverage results in higher battery consumption.
• GPS coverage: limited coverage leads to increased battery consumption.
• Weather conditions: cloudy skies or extreme temperatures can result in higher battery consumption.
B) Which functions you use:
• Live tracking demands the most battery power. A fully charged PetLinkGPS for Dogs device can support up to 5 hours of continuous Live Tracking (assuming other functions, such as Flashing Light or Beep Signal are not in use at the same time).
• Flashing Light and Beep Signal. A fully charged PetLinkGPS for Dogs can support up to 5 hours of continuous use of either of these functions (assuming other functions are not in use at the same time).
C) The settings you choose (in the Pet Profile section of the App):
• If you choose more frequent location update intervals this can lead to higher battery consumption.
• If you enable Energy Saving Mode, this, combined with a strong Wi-Fi signal, will reduce battery consumption.
Battery saving tips:
• Decrease the location update intervals to 24 hours in Pet Profile settings.
• Disable GPS during automatic updates.
• Only use Live Tracking when you most require it.
Battery Life Overview:
• Up to 20 days with pet always within the Energy Saving Zone.
• Up to 8 days if often near the Energy Saving Zone and without regularly activating Live Tracking.
• Up to 5 days if the pet is always outside the Energy Saving Zone.
• Up to 5 hours with Live Tracking always active.

The transmitter seems well made, and both it and the app work smoothly. The pricing for the unit seems fair to me. The transmitter has to be recharged roughly every four days with the provided cable and a USB-A connection. When I ordered a second cable in order to have a backup, customer service never explained that there would be a significant delay, and I am still waiting for it, though I did finally receive a shipping notice. The cable was quite expensive for what it is. Overall, though, we're happy to have the extra security, which worked well for us on the one occasion when our dog got loose.

Hi Ronald, thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We're so glad you're loving our service. I appreciate you letting us know you’d like some written instructions to set up those UI features correctly. I have personally emailed you a guide.
Haven’t had to track my dog thank goodness. However the tracker works well. Energy zone saves a ton of battery. Just wish you got more than one Velcro strap attachment. We have to switch collars depending on walks he’s 120 lbs.
