Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before I go into how great Findster is, let me start by saying that I have purchased (and returned) *every* GPS/dog tracker that exists. All of them. None of them have lived up to the hype, been worth the upfront cost (+ monthly data tracking fees), or actually had a battery life that made me feel like it would work with my lifestyle. Findster Duo arrived in a great box with clear/easy instructions. I took both devices (device #1 for the pet; device #2 for the guardian/owner) out of the box and charged them while downloading the Findster app. After the app downloaded, I synced the two devices via Bluetooth to my iPhone/app and we were ready to go on our first adventure! My pups and I live on a farm and they often go on jaunts/rambles/excursions chasing deer, etc. I was mostly interested to see where exactly they go and how far away they go. Findster supposedly works up to three miles in open spaces and up to half a mile in denser (more urban) environments. So far, my dogs have been up to two miles away and the Findster devices have maintained clear, easy contact with my app, so I know exactly where my dogs are and where I can go look for them if needed. The app is so easy to use and I love that it tells me how much exercise my pups have gotten in addition to exactly where they are. The devices (the one I carry + the ones my pups wear) are so lightweight and do not seem affected by water or mud. There is also a leader board so you can see how much exercise other Findster-wearing dogs are getting, which is a fun/community-building idea. My main concern was the battery life, but so far, the devices have stayed charged as long as I have needed them-- I have used them for 9-10 hours with no problem (and significant battery power leftover) and both devices charge with lightning speed. I am so impressed with this device. It does exactly what I have wanted an dog tracker to do for years. Such a great device! Thanks, Findster, for keeping my pups safe!
