GPS Tracker for Vehicles, No Subscription, No Monthly Fee

Very impressed with Moto Watchdog - both the product and the support. It was quite simple to install and set up, works flawlessly, provides outstanding tracking and it gives notifications in a timely and accurate manner. It is also easily customizable for individual needs, particularly the geofencing and vehicle status alerts. The cost is quite reasonable, particularly with no subscription expense, and while I was admittedly a bit skeptical before buying, after having the Moto Watchdog OBD for over a year, any skepticism has been replaced with confidence. In regard to support, when I upgraded to a new phone, I thought I had a notification issue and wrote their support on a Friday night. Saturday morning I woke up to a response and following their advice, everything was operating perfectly (simply uninstall and reinstall the app and it essentially fixed everything - couldn't be more simple). I rarely write a review but their great product and amazing support made this an exception. Definitely a company and product I will turn to whenever the need arises.

I very seldom write reviews unless a product really exceeds expectations. This Moto Watchdog tracker really does what the seller claims it will do! I tried and returned two other trackers that did not perform as advertised. One required a monthly or yearly subscription for the cell service for the SIM chip. The watchdog actually comes with a pre-installed Sim chip that is as easy to set up as anything I have ever had. Their app for Android works flawlessly and has so much flexibility built in that it should meet the needs of anyone requiring a Tracker. It quickly notifies you of movement or of a trip starting or ending, all automatically. It is such a good app that you can select individual notifications for all of the various functions that it does or turn off notifications selectively if you do not want them. The tracking accuracy is very good and did track any of the trips that I have used it on. You can even download completed trips and see coordinates for various points along the Route. Very seldom have I found a product that exceeds my expectations but this is it! When the seller says purchase it and all service for Lifetime is included for free they mean that and it's true. Once you buy it and set it up in about 5 minutes that's it and it works. People have commented about the rather short battery life but for my purposes several days is excellent for keeping track of my suitcase while traveling or of a mobility scooter which we sometimes take on trips. Especially a place like Disney World where you park it and are concerned something might happen to it, the tracker gives you peace of mind and you know where it is at all times. And battery status shows on the app so there is no guessing when the tracker needs a recharge. If you need longer battery life or a hardwired tracker, they sell those models too. Another aspect of this product is the excellent, and I do mean excellent, customer service. You can send a text directly from the app and they normally respond within a few hours. I do not know of many products where you get this kind of personal customer service. So far I have only Pros for this device and no Cons . I have not needed to use the magnet for mounting so I cannot comment on its effectiveness, buy it does serm to be a pretty strong magnet. This is a rather lengthy review but this company and product deserve it!

I wanted to keep track of a vehicle and wasn't sure what the best option would be. There's so many different units on the market, it can be difficult to know what to get. I took a chance with this and it was the right choice. The system works well. There's a PC interface via a web browser and a phone app. The web browser access is the better option for real-time tracking and overall access to features IMO. The phone app works well but for me, it lags in real-time tracking and accuracy of path traveled. (could be my phone or carrier) The user is instructed to drive the vehicle 5-10 miles to calibrate the unit, I advise doing this before judging the units accuracy. It would be nice to add more control of the Geo-fencing option (Polygon), it's limited on the level of control when plotting areas to monitor. Overall, it's worth the money for an accurate, non monthly subscription based tracking unit. I'll be ordering an additional unit in the near future.

Best GPS tracker in the market, with $0 subscription fee. No one can beat the prices. Already have it more the 1 years and it still working strong. And support team very responsive.

No subscription needed. Hook to battery and the app informs you of any movement, where your vehicle currently is with a map and names the road. The only negative is extra lines show up, but the circles are the routes taken. Great value. My vehicle was stolen once. Now I can track it!

This is an early review and I'll update as time goes on. I own a video game truck that goes out for parties every weekend. I have several drivers that rotate to handle the events, and my truck goes 50 miles in any given direction. I also store this truck at a storage facility where I have no real means to monitor. So, there's quite a bit going on that live GPS monitoring would help me with. I searched many options and honed in on Moto Watchdog due to the zero subscription cost - onetime cost (more expensive upfront than a subscription). I received this unit very quickly, and charged it overnight before setting it up. It's heavy due to the magnet they use to attach to a metal surface, feels like a small brick. Simple design with a waterproof cover protecting the charging port and on / off switch. One status light to convey a few things like charging status, connection, etc. Set up was a breeze - I turned it on, downloaded the app and signed in, and the device was picked up automatically and quickly. I was instructed to walk around for 20 minutes to help with GPS accuracy, which I did. Then came the real test - using it on my trailer in a spot that's secure enough without exposing the unit in any way. Despite the strong magnet (I tested this on the chassis off the trailer, and the magnetism was strong), I didn't want to take a chance with the unit falling off during a trip. So, I put this inside (I have an enclosed trailer) in a hidden and secure spot. I worried that this would affect signal strength - no such issue. The signal was strong when I tested inside, outside, and away from the trailer. I can now monitor my trailer from the comfort of my home. This unit has gone on a few trips now. I'd say it's very accurate, with the chance of some false alerts. I received alerts saying that trailer had started moving, with an alert shortly after saying "Trip ended". The trailer had not moved, however. I chalked this up to GPS issues, satellites moving and connections being reestablished. I used the "movement alert" which I assume is used to figure out if someone tries to tamper or move the device itself. This also generated false alerts even after I lowered the sensitivity i.e. "alert when moved over 25 feet away". Less false alerts, but still happening. The app is well-designed, easy to use, and doesn't require much more for my needs. So far, very happy with my purchase since it's giving me peace of mind to track my trailer regardless of where it is.

Unfortunately, this tracker has been inaccurate since day one. I purchased it to accurately track my vehicle, but the location and trip history are consistently wrong. For example, today I left my house and drove to my destination. Only after I had already arrived did the app notify me that I had "left home." When I started the car to drive back, it again showed that I was starting the trip from home, even though I was miles away. By the time I got home, the trip history was still incorrect. I've also had issues with the notification system. It initially showed unread notifications that wouldn't open and repeatedly displayed timeout errors. I contacted customer support and followed every troubleshooting step they recommended, including reinstalling the app, signing out and back in, clearing the cache, and restarting the device. Although the notification issue eventually improved, the GPS tracking is still inaccurate. After I reported the GPS problem, customer support stopped responding. The entire purpose of a GPS tracker is accurate location tracking. If the location and trip history can't be trusted, then the product doesn't fulfill its primary function. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend it.

works great. Real time update and easy to use.

I had been looking for a decent tracker for a couple of months until I found this one. My main requirements were: no contracts with any mobile or cellular operators, no recurring payments, reliable performance, and a long-lasting battery independent of the car system. It satisfied all my needs. It may seem a little expensive at first, but think about it: you pay once and can use it for years, while others end up locked into contracts or, worse, unable to stop payments even after canceling the contract. I highly recommend this unit for everyday use for everyone.

Works better than the monthly subscription one I had before. Absolutely worth every penny. Going to buy them for all my trailers and toys.

Easy install and seems to work good so far, very happy with this purchase

Bought this and installed it , used an OBD extension and placed it behind the factory position where the plug goes , looks factory and works amazing. Gives notices of when car is started and when car moves outside of a curfew time. All this for free For the price it’s well worth the money

Great unit if you want to throw it in a purse or pocket but needs to be charged quite often. Tracking is good and easy to use. It’s nice that there’s no hidden fees or subscriptions. So I’m Looking at the higher battery life versions to see if they get decent use or not.
