5/5Best tracking app ever
We have been using chirp to track our family for many years, we have never had any problems and it is worth every penny!! It is wonderful to be able to see where our family is located, plus all of the amazing features like speed, direction and reports. It is the best tracking app on the App Store!! Thank you Chirp!!

1/5Customer service works like a BAD employee:
Doesn’t show up most of the time. I would give it zero stars if possible. Initial setup was a nightmare. contacted CS who called me right away and helped. I guess that was the honeymoon cause they have been a noshow ever since. App tracking worked for a few days and then suddenly stopped tracking family member. I had told all family members to leave location always on so when The app stopped tracking them, I deleted the app and tried to re-install. Big mistake! App asked me for a password which I never received because CS initially set everything up on the phone on their end and didn’t walk me through the setup. When trying to re-install, App would freeze and I had to reboot phone to get it to work again until it froze again after trying to set up the app again. Tried to call and email CS again: CRICKETS! This group could use a user friendly app that truly functions and responsive people to run it. Then they could be called a company. Oh, and do I sound PO’d? Because I am.

5/5New update!
The new update has fixed so many issues and the battery life is better than ever! I’m so impressed with how accurate it is and how easy it is to connect with family members. I can even share my location with someone, regardless of what platform they are on.

1/5Not as reliable as I had hoped
I set this app app on my phone and my wife’s phone and it worked great for the first day then yesterday it did not update for like 14 hours. Today it’s the same thing, it is not updating since my wife left for work this morning at 9 AM it is now 1:47 PM. How can an app that works so great the first day and then completely drop off the face of the earth and not work at all the next day??? I signed up for a year on both phones and I am having to cancel that membership within this for seven day trial period.

5/5Much Improved
We’ve been using chirp to track our trucks on the road with great success. Cheapest alternative I’ve found and the mobile/web tracking features make it the only option for our team. 10/10
