    These are great tracking devices for the money. Very accurate and lots of options for your needs. Needed a little help setting them up but the customer services is excellent and get back to you very fast. They were a great help and made it an easy process. Highly recommend both the product and selle

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWorks perfectly. We are using 10 of
    the 4G devices for safely tracking Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Expedition Teams in various parts of the UK, including Brecon Beacons, Dartmoor, Yorkshire Dales, Snowdonia and less remote areas. Accuracy is ‘spot on’ and the Latitude/Longitude coordinates can easily be copied into OS Maps app to give a UK grid reference and visual location on a 1:25000 scale OS map. Battery life has been great and can easily cover 2/3 Gold expeditions of 4 days duration each, although, we do charge them fully prior to each expedition to be on the safe side! We’ve also purchased orange 1ltr dry bags to put each tracker in, allowing for the British weather and easy location in a large rucksack. Superb service from customer support, when required. We use ‘OneSim All Networks’ SIM’s, which connect to O2, EE, Vodafone and Three, ensuring best coverage in whichever area the devices are being used.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThe product is amazingly accurate! A little bit more effort to set up, but the 2 ways of location tracking is really worth every second of set up. My dog is a very fast runner and I can track not only where he is in relation to myself but also exactly how fast he is travelling! (35mph! )

    Use this to track the car or track my luggage when flying. Works great and is much more accurate than bluetooth air tags. Plus no subscription required other than investing in a mobile sim card, a cheap deal payg SIM works for me.

    We purchased this in April 22 and it has done everything it is advertised to do. As well as using it in the Uk we used it in France where we were on holiday cruising and had to leave the car unattended for 2 weeks in a very open space. Having the tracker meant if the car moved we would know immediately and be able to track it This gives great peace of mind. So pleased have bought another WINNES tracker to protect another valuable possession.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersPicked up two of these to put in my suitcases when I travel. They are tiny and they work well given the low cost. They can be a bit tricky to set up, but their tech support is good and they respond quickly. You can text the unit and get a location by text reply, or you can set them up in their app. Setting up in the app is a bit tricky but their customer support is great so got it done no problem. Once they are configured in the app there are many more features like real time tracking and such like.

    My one gripe is the battery life, which is only 3/4 days, however for my use (tracking luggage) this is fine and given their very small size you would expect the battery to be small anyway. This said, they can be left plugged in via USB and will just continue working, for example with a small external battery pack or hardwired into a vehicle. Just bear in mind these are cheap handy units, great for the price, but not quite the sophistication of many hundred pounds of vehicle tracking hardware.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe WINNES GPS android app does not always save changes that you want to make to alarm settings.

    I wanted to use the vibrator alarm (to detect movement of a motorcycle) and this works well with a GIF-GAF sim card inserted in the tracker. The GPS is accurate. My smart phone is set to receive visual and audio alerts when the tracker detects movement/vibration.

    All in all very good for the price

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersOverall a very good tracker and excellent tech support for the price. Original tracker that was delivered did not work. After tech support from the supplier they provided another tracker which was delivered very quickly. This new tracker worked straight away.
    Works well with 1pmobile sim card.
    There is a bit of a time lag in the real time tracking on the app, but as an additional security measure for a bike it’s perfectly adequate.

    I have uploaded a video and photo of how to insert the sim card correctly, as requested by the supplier, as this can be a bit tricky.

    Overall very good

    Great little device, subtle and functional. Used a different bracket than the provided and it looks even more like a regural rear light, which is the main point. The app is functional, although there is more to be desired. Accuracy is very good and it’s only lacking in battery life but can go on for several days on charge, depending on the settings.

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersThis is basically a great little GPS. I have bought two others (more expensive) off Amazon but they got sent back for not working properly or promising real time live updates and not delivering.
    If you want a cheap and cheerful tracker that will not let you down, but do not expect to use it in anger very often (ie you don’t have dogs or children that habitually run off or get lost) then this is fantastic.

    Pros:
    Very cheap
    reliable, always works, always gets a phone signal even in my village (which is terrible).
    no monthly fee
    uses google maps so the location is clearer to see than some, it needs no App on your phone and you can use it from ANY smart phone not just your own.
    very little setup beyond putting a live SIM card (with active data) and finding it.
    The google map location you are sent also shows YOU not just the tracker, so you can get a sense of how far away it is

    Cons:
    Does not seem to offer real-time tracking despite mentioning it in the title (true real time tracking means you can follow the blob on a map as it moves). Its possible it might be buried somewhere in the unintelligeble instructions. This would be a problem if you have a dog that goes AWOL a lot as it’s much harder to home in on something if you have to keep getting an updated location rather than seeing it move “live”. NB there are no inexpensive trackers that do this without requiring a monthly fee and contract. I did a lot of research before buying this and eventually found two that claimed to offer real-time location tracking as well as no monthly fee. One just didn’t work and the other had lied and simply did not offer real time tracking (but was double the price of this). both went back.
    The charge-port cover fell off on the first one I bought after a couple of uses. Had this happened after a year I would have covered it with duct tape and carried on using it, but as it was only a few days old I sent it back. the second one was find.
    There is no easy or obvious way to attach it to a dogs collar, and it’s larger and heavier than some. but I found a solution – cable tie it tightly onto the back of a harness and keep it still so it doesn’t bump around, and then use a second cable tie through the single lanyard attachment hole attached as a back up just in case first cable tie works loose. This works well even with my tiny (4kg) dogs.
    The manual is totally unintelligible, but basically all you need to know is how to put the sim card in, how to find it, to charge it and what code to send to the number whenever you want a location update.

    Overall, if you want a GPS as a “just in case” (one of my dogs lost sight of us in a corn field and panicked – its’ never happened before or since but this is just a reassurance) and don’t want to pay a monthly fee, this is what you need!!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersAs a tracker, this is very accurate and as near to real time as you could expect. Ability to review historical routes has been useful. This is what I bought it for, so no complaints there. What I don’t like are the additional alarms: shock and movement alarms are far too sensitive and were going off for no reason. I haven’t found a way to adjust them so had to turn them off. The overspeed alarm is just weird – set it for 80mph and it was going off any time it pleased! Don’t need it so turned that off, too. Instructions aren’t bad for a translation, but you really do need to read them – then read them again. Follow them to the letter and it will set up OK. Quite happy with the unit but disappointed that some features aren’t as good as they should be.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis product works really well and when I needed to contact tech support (due to my error) the guy was fantastic. The only negative (and this is not the products fault) is that coverage is limited by the phone networks ability to connect. So it might get a GPS signal but if it has no mobile coverage it cannot be called. We went to a large festival but the device had no mobile signal (and neither did our phones!). Just be aware that your mobile coverage/network would therefore affect this and any other similar product.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have had the 2G version of this tracker for a few years. Ibought the 4G version for when I travel in Europe, as contries such as Switzerland have discontinued 2G.

    I do not use the cloud service from the company, only direct text queries.

    The main differences between the 2G and 4G units I have found are:
    * The battery does not last as long – the 2G last a couple of months the 4G a few weeks (Customer services advise this is because of the greater power demands of 4G)
    * the 4G version has a ‘sleep’ function to extend battery life. When enabled the GPS is off and the 4G function is reduced to lowest operational level. When ‘sleep’ enabled, it can take 30 or 40 seconds to wake up, get a GPS reading, then send a text. You can wake the unit by sending a text or better still …
    * enable the ‘shock’ setting as that will also wake the unit and automatically send a text if the bike is moved. If you chose this option then you can either disable shock before you use the bike or get a text when you do, or accept that the tracker will need more freqent charging.

    Overal impression – a little bit extra setting needed to extend battery life, and some delay if sleep enabled, but given that, the 4g is just as good and useful as the 2G version and will work anywhere as 2G is phased out.

    Perhaps of greater importance is the after-sales support assistance. I had a technical problem which was managed by Ada. I have no idea what her work role is, or where she is based, but the speed and effectiveness of her response was outstanding. A credit to her company and the best after-sales help I have had in recent years.

    I have no connection to the company except as a purchaser, but would be happy to buy from them agai

That in itself tells you how good I think they are, but what I want to emphasise is how good the support from Ada is. Within an hour of messaging Ada to add the new tracker to my account so that it shows all my tracked vehicles in the app, it was done and the new tracker was in my list on the app.

    She has also been very quick (within an hour) to respond to other queries over the years such as increasing the frequency of refreshing the tracker’s reported position.

    I was pleasantly surprised that the set-up instructions were clear and easy to follow.

    At first glance there are a LOT of instructions, so I read them through 3 times before beginning the installation, which definitely made the installation process easier.

    I opted to use a Giffgaff/O2 SIM on a pay-as-you-go basis rather than a monthly plan as I only intend to keep the tracker active when my bike is parked in higher risk locations such as towns and cities.

    The Google Play store App for this tracker is intuitive and easy to configure the various settings with the option to activate ‘live-tracking’ provided you have a GPS signal. Alternatively GPS monitoring can be every 30 seconds, or every hour, or every 24 hours.

    The tracker can be configured to send an Alarm text message with Google Maps link if the bike moves from its parked location.Because he alarm is not heard by a potential thief, I have also added a separate high decibel security alarm that will startle a thief if they even attempt to move the bike. If they are successful then they can’t escape the tracker which will map their movements. A quick call to the police will quickly catch them in the act. To assist them I suggest that on your phone you should keep photos of your bike and its serial number so that it can be quickly identified.

    24 hour standby mode reduces the number and cost of text messages and limits battery drain. It’s claimed that a charged battery will last 25 days but this depends upon using minimal settings on the App. The tracker sends an automatic notification when the tracker reaches 30%.

    So far I’ve found the tracker to be very accurate and there hasn’t been much drain on the battery.

    The tracker/light can be mounted on the bike seat post. The securing bolts are quick release with plastic knobs that can be unscrewed by finger and thumb. I personally have replaced these plastic knob screws with hex screws that require an Allan key to remove the clamp from the seat post. Whilst this won’t deter a determined and well equipped thief, it will slow them down, and it will prevent a casual opportunistic thief.

    BEWARE!
    The mounting bracket is plastic NOT metal but plastic! A few days after installing the tracker on my bike seat post I found it broken on my shed floor. I contacted the Seller through Amazon Customer Support but the Seller could not provide a replacement. They advised me to buy a GO PRO bracket.

    This tracker itself is a great piece of kit that gives peace of mind when used in conjunction with other security measures such as a good quality police approved bike lock. BUT the plastic bracket needs to be replaced by a metal bracket that won’t be easily broken by a thief.

    Excellent bike tracke

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersMy scout group uses these trackers to monitor the location of scouts when they are hiking with remote supervision. The tracker hardware is robust, reliable and sufficiently light for our purposes. There is nothing to go wrong, and nothing for the scouts to fiddle with. The battery lasts *far* more than the week which we need. With a pay-as-you-go sim card we use about 10p of data per day so our 10 starting credit on giffgaff will last a long time.

    The app is great too. We can have several adults phones/tablets monitoring the live location of many trackers, and can drill down into the route history if we need to work out where they have been. The app is light on phone battery usage too.

    We have several of the 2G trackers, and several 4G. I haven’t spotted any difference in reliability between them.

    This device gets switched on by inserting the sim card – pressing down until it latches in place. This can be tricky to do. My fingers are too wide for the tiny slot, and with a tool it is difficult to judge if it has been pressed down far enough. So it is best to do this once at home, and then we leave it running for a whole trip.

    At first I wasn’t sure what was going on, then I figured to contact their tech support. I later released the sim I have bought from 1p Mobile took forever to activate it.

    Ada from the support team was very helpful and explained what needs to happen first.

    Once the sim was activated just followed the instructions and everything worked like a charm, Tracker location was pretty precise. I still need to do further testing. However, I’m confident there will be no other issues. If any problems I know I can always reach out to their tech support.

    Having someone their to hold your hands and guide you if any tech related problems is the icing on the cake!

    I wouldn’t hesitate buying it again if required or recommend to the family and friends.

    This is a great tracker. Once a mobile card is inserted and the app downloaded, the tracker can be followed virtually free. I’ve used it for over a year, and the batteries last approx 4-5 weeks if minimal live data is used.
    The magnet is strong, there’s been no fall-offs.
    All in all, no complaints, just praise, specially for Ada, the tech support who is always courteous and very helpful.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI got this for my Ebike, after my last one got stolen from outside my work. I stupidly forgot to lock it up. All caught on cctv but still no sign of it and also didnt have insurance. Now my new ebike, has insurance and a great lock! How ever, ebikes arent cheap and are essential for me for work. So i got this GPS tracker. I ordered an o2 sim card, it came in the post, it came in the largest size but had break points so you could break it out to be micro or nano. It must be micro! Then i topped it up (o2 require your first top uo to be a voucher from the shop, just so you know, and are currently offering 10pounds free if you text free10 to 25100 after your first top up) i put the sim card into the tracker, waited for the tiny blue and yellow lights (top. Let of your big red light) to turn off. Then i rang my GPS tracker. And within 19 seconds it replied with the exact coordinates of my location, with a google map link attached. I decided to take a short walk with the gos tracker to make sure of its accuracy.. And yes, it worked perfectly. I then downloaded the app, and was able to control the light, turn it off, make it flash! Able to see my travel history and even register upto three mobile numbers, that if i hit the SOS (panic alarm) it will text those numbers for help (a good idea would be letting your friends know they are on the sos list and the sim card you got, number to call to get your location sent via sms message) for this price and utterly simple set up i am very impressed. This is day one, i hope this standard remains.

    This is an excellent tracker, it details where it is now, gives live tracking, allows various activation settings, records travel history etc. It is easy to set up, alter settings, charge the internal battery (which can last for ages depending on how you set it up), insert the ‘pay as you go’ sim, view on your smart phone and PC.
    I was suspicious that when I took my Bentley for a service one time, she had a few more miles on her than was necessary when I got her back – now I can always check where she has been when not in my hands.

    Very pleased with this tracker. It sends itself to sleep when nothing is happening but instantly wakes up when someone opens the doors and gets in to the vehicle. I was surprised at how accurate the positioning is, often showing the correct bay in the car park! Another reviewer recommended a SIM from 1pmobile so I purchased one and it is costing pennies or less a day. Biggest problem is deciding where to hide the tracker!

    A year or so ago I bought one of these (2G) and was a bit unsure how good it would be at the price. I needn’t have worried, it was quite impressive. So much so that I bought two more for other vehicles.
    I have been impressed with the accuracy and reliability (so far almost a year and a half). I have checked locations many times over and found that it was pretty much spot on every time, only occassionally showing my vehicle to be at a next door property! I have also tracked one of my vehicles on the app when my son borrowed it and was ready watching as he got back to my home through real time tracking. I didn’t tell him I knew what speed he was doing all the while 😉
    Cannot express how good value these are for the money compared to big brand, monitored tracking systems. Once purchased the only ongoing cost is for a cheap SIM card.
    If only I’d had one a few years ago when my car was stolen. I’m convinced I’d have got it back instead of all the problems and insurance costs for total loss. I’m sure it would have paid for itself several times over.
    I’ve had to use Ada’s services to set the trackers up on a single account on the app for me and found him really helpful and speedy. Also prompt on answering questions.
    Recently bought a 4G model as I was going to France and I understand Europe is phasing out 2G much faster than UK is.
    Out of interest, at first I recharged the trackers periodically and had no issues with how long a charge lasted, I have since connected mine to permanent power supply so now just forget them. It has also allowed me to place them in extremely safe places should anyone want to try and find them.

    I have purchased two of these. Initial setup was quiet easy thanks to the manual. Everything clearly explained. Very friendly tech support linked both devices into one account so I can track then both from one app.
    Very accurate device. Long battery life… You can set up a geo fence to let the device move in some area only. Easy to use and well build. There’s a magnetic base so you can put it anywhere and attached to a metal surface easily.

    Overall this is a great tracker. Highly recommended.
    Will go for more in the future definitely.

    And also great customer service. Any problems you can contact them via WhatsApp or email. Quick response considering different time zone. Always happy to help.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI bought this and fitted it in March 2021 and I have to say, this is a great piece of kit.

    Some of the criticisms in other reviews about the instructions not being clear are fair but, personally, I found enough information in there (plus a few on-line searches) for me to know what I needed to do to set it up. One thing I wish I’d known during the set up is the that SIM card needs to be pushed in quite a long way – I needed to use some tweezers to get it in far enough for it to work.

    I went for the GiffGaff 6 per month plan but I might look at moving to PAYG at some point if it looks a lot cheaper. From what I can see there is not much in it.

    I found it easy to set up. Once it is up and running you can either use the app to control settings and set up things like the Geo-fence for example, or you can just text instructions to the tracker directly (which, in my experience, seem to get implemented a bit quicker). I might have misunderstood something, but from what I can work out the app doesn’t allow you to control all of the potential the settings – from what I can see some of them (like “move alarm” which I want to use) have to be controlled by text. It would have saved me quite a lot of time if I’d known that.

    It has loads of potential functions but what I wanted from a tracker was:
    1. For it to alert me if someone tried to force their way into my van (“sensor alarm”)
    2. Alert me if the van starts moving when its not meant to (“move alarm”)
    3. If I get back to a car park and find its gone, to allow me to see where it is on Google maps (“check”)

    Reviewers seem to have different experiences on battery life. To me its a bit like having a guard dog: You don’t need it on its feet 24/7 standing by your gate. You just need it to wake up and bark when someone tries to open the gate or climb over your wall.

    It seems to me the logic is the same here. All of the above events will wake the tracker up and it will send you a text alert. I’ve set mine (GPS Mode Settings) at 12 hours and I’ve turned the LEDs off, which means it is “sleeping” most of the time. My battery has dropped about 10% in two weeks which I’m happy with. People getting two or three days out of the battery before needing a re-charge must be using different settings to me.
    I think, as an extra line of defence, its amazing value for money and I’d certainly recommend it.

    Well built and tracks well. Not very accurate on the road. Mapping point to point but not on the road.

    Brilliant device. Once you get to grips with the setup, it works like magic. My only issue was changing the alert tone, which is done in Android Settings, Sound & Vibration, Sound – not in App Settings.

    Battery longevity is fine – just remember it’s designed for stationary anti-theft and not constant tracking – tracking is a battery drain. So, put it on your motorhome and forget it, but don’t track your own movements when on the road – unless you want a shorter battery life. When stationary, the device will go into sleep mode after about 5 minutes, but will wake up if any of the alarm triggers are activated by a thief (motion, vibration, exiting a geolocation), thus saving battery life.

    The battery indicator on the app goes down in 10% increments, so don’t be alarmed if you think it’s draining quickly – it isn’t.

    Realistically, the battery for the Winnes TK905 black tracker lasts about 4 weeks before needing to charge, which is fair since I use it for delivery work.

    It does what it says in description, but I haven’t tried any functions other than real time text tracking yet, since that is good enough for me.

    Golden Review Award: 15 From Our UsersThere are many reasons to attach a GPS tracker to your (or your kids) bike.

    For me, it was to make sure I can easily find my kids if I have to stop for whatever reason and they are already around the corner. But for sure a GPS tracker can be useful if you bike the stolen.

    There are many GPS trackers on the market and they all work very similarly:

    They connect to the mobile network as a mobile phone does (that is why the tracker needs his own SIM) and transmit the GPS location to an app.

    As you can imagine the device size and the battery life are key.
    In my case, I was looking for a device to permanently fix at the bicycle to make sure I do not forget the tracker at home.

    During my tracker research, I came across the “Winnes GPS Bike Tracker Anti Theft”.
    The tracker looks like a backlight and does not need with an overpriced subscription as many of the trackers.
    A “pay as you go SIM” does the job perfectly.

    The device is quite cheap and I was indeed a bit of a risk to buy it.

    Here is my review after 2 months of use:

    Compared to a cateye backlight in this price range, the Winnes GPS Bike Tracker looks cheaper and it is huge.
    The light power is quite low but does the job for short evening rides in the park.
    However, the tracker looks like a backlight and a thief will not recognise it as a GPS tracker and smash it.

    The tracker comes with attachments (see photos).
    As I needed to have the tracker permanently fixed I replaced the screws to make sure a tool is needed to steal the light.

    Setting up the tracker is quite an adventure as the guide looks very confusing.

    Here a quick guide:

    – Buy a pay as you go SIM card
    – Put the SIM card into a phone and save the number in your address book.
    – Disable the SIM Pin code
    – Take the SIM card out of your phone and place it as shown on the photo into the Winnes GPS Bike Tracker.
    – Make sure the tracker is fully charged
    – Wait till the device has a GPS signal
    – Send an SMS to your tracker with this content: G123456#
    – You should get an answer with Battery status and the location. Don’t worry if the location is a factory in China – it will change later.
    – Search on google for the APN setting. As I am using a Tesco SIM the APN are: APN: prepay.tesco-mobile.com Username: tescowap
    Password: password
    – Now send in total three SMS to your tracker: APN123456 prepay.tesco-mobile.com, APNuser123456 tescowap and APNpasswd password.
    – The device will send you a confirmation SMS
    – Search for the app WINNIES GPS and install it.
    – Open the app and make sure your select Login by ID (and not username)
    – Check the sticker on the device and enter the ID and the password 123456 (not the APN password)
    – Now you should be able to see your tracker. If not send another SMS with the text G123456# to check the status.

    The app is in early-stage development and needs a bit of practice.
    Under “Issue command” you find several nice features like turn the LED off and save SOS numbers. Those SOS numbers will get a Help! SMS as soon the button on the device is pressed.

    Overall I am impressed by the value for the money.
    If you are looking for a cheap solution to track your bike the Winnies is the product to go for. The setup needs a bit of time but if you are a bit a techie it is a quick (and fun) thing to do. And if you get stuck the WhatsApp help chat is very friendly.

    Value for the Money (setup instruction in the review)

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe product is very well made and packaged. It only has a rubber seal, behind which the SIM is inserted and charged and has status lights. Turns on automatically as soon as you insert the SIM.
    The setup is not as simple as the instructions make out, but technical support (Ada) helps right away and she is VERY GOOD all up and working with 5 minutes of assistance (WhatsApp).
    Insert SIM, send a few SMS and you have the device working.
    Not sure about battery life yet…. It works with SMS (SIM Card) and GPS using the App I have iPhone and it works flawlessly
    Great value for money and highly recommended!

    Ignore other reviews, this was simplicity itself to set up! Really easy!! It is reliable, accurate and records each trip made in its history Battery life I’ve found is more than adequate. A full 100% charge lasted a full month and it gave me a phone text to say it was down to 20% charge! Anyone who has a problem with that just isn’t being realistic? Tech support is fast and reliable, even from China! (British Companies could learn from this one!). Got a sim from Tesco and it’s cost me 79p for a whole months usage. I just cannot find fault with either the product, or the Company that provides it. Fully recommend this item if you’re in the market for a good, reliable, effective tracker unit.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI just bought two of the 906 versions which are the rear light version for a cycle, for my wife and my e-bikes, so we can hopefully track then if they ever get stolen.

    They seem well made, with several different fitting options.Everything is included in the box.
    I have only just set them up and but felt compelled to write a review because the customer service has been phenomenal.

    Before buying on Amazon, I read a lot of reviews and came across the email at the Buyer in China, for a lady named Ada. So I emailed her with a few questions and she came back the same day with very helpful replies. So I decided to order, although Amazon was saying deliver in several weeks, presumable coming from China. So I emailed Ada with my disappointment and she arranged for them to be despatched from a local UK Amazon warehouse, arriving in about three days!

    They require a Micro SIM that supports 2G, not all providers support 2G, so check with whom you get it from before getting it! I got mine, PAYG, from Vodafone, as my mobiles are with them.

    A couple of pointers not clear in the instructions, although they are pretty comprehensive..

    Remember to top up the SIM BEFORE setting up the Tracker, I did for one but forgot for the other, then wondered why I was having issues!

    Each SIM provider seems to require different APN commands to set up their SIM, this is not totally clear from the in-box instructions. So if you buy from Amazon UK, then email [email protected] for the exact commands for your SIM. After you have sent the APN commands to the SIM, You’ll need to remove the SIM from the Tracker then put it back in, this restarts the Tracker, which is a necessary step, also not clear from the in-box instructions.

    I also wanted to track both Trackers from one App, so I asked Ada for help. Indeed she actually set it all up for me. The App seems very accurate in showing the location of the Tracker.

    If you need ANY help, then do contact Ada, as she was so very helpful and patient with me, above and beyond.

    If the product performs is as good as the support, then I’m very happy with my purchases.

    Great product for the price.
    Compatible with way more simcards as well.
    Roaming will most likely not work but for longer stay in country you can always buy prepaid simcard and update for apn / user / pwn.

    Pretty precise as well and geofence working ok.
    Sometimes gets buggy if relies only on gsm signal where no gps is available but that is ok. Depends on the mobile signal and its strength / quality.

    Happy with the product!

    I was a little dubious about buying a tracker as I am not too technically minded, but with a bit of trial and error I managed to get it working. The only down side was a problem that I had with the vodafone SIM. I contacted Winnes on WhatsApp and was most impressed with the service that I received when the tracker stopped working. I was given step by step instructions on what I should do, eventually discovering that it was a sim problem. I wish vodafone had been as helpful, as it was their fault that the sim stopped working after I had increased my credit.
    All is now working fine and I have no hesitation in recommending this product to anyone looking for a value for money tracker. Hopefully my bike is now a little more secure!

    I bought this as a back up tracker, basic tracking and alerts but it does everything is says plus more. Setting up takes a few minutes (need to set APN, etc) but info is provided or can be googled. I stuck a Giff Gaff SIM in and I get shock alerts via SMS, positional alerts on demand via SMS, and real time tracking via the app, along with a timeline history if needed. I work in the Telematics industry and although this isn’t the most complicated tracker it delivers on everything it says! Battery is long life too. Ideal as a fit and forget monitoring tracker, or for a caravan, boat etc, where the long battery life would come into it’s own (just remember to charge it for 10 hours first) Would recommend!

  54. Halley7873 says:

    The tracker feels robust with a tight rubber cover around the SIM card/charging port so hopefully no water ingress.

    To set up follow these steps:

    Firstly register the SIM card in your phone, top up with credit and transfer SIM to the tracker.

    1 – Text “admin123456” followed by a space and your working mobile phone number. Don’t write “space”.
    EG: admin123456 07738xxxxxx

    2 – tracker will reply.
    3 – Text g123456# for google map location, battery, co-ordinates etc.

    If you want to use the app for real time maps and set up alarms, download Winnes gps app from the play store.

    Then….

    Google apn settings for whatever network you are using (in my case it is an asda sim).

    1 – text “gprs123456”.
    2 – tracker reply.
    3 – text “apn123456(space)everywhere.
    4 – tracker will reply.
    5 – text “apnuser123456(space)eesecure.
    6 – tracker will reply.
    7 – apnpasswd123456(space)secure.
    8 – tracker will reply.

    Eject and re-insert SIM in to tracker to reset. Now the app will be working and linked to tracker 🙂

    Ada is available on WhatsApp and was very helpful in helping me set up!
    Not had the time to test battery life yet but initial impressions look good.

    **UPDATE**: Battery life seems pretty poor. Currently at 30% after 2 weeks 🙁

  55. Anonymous says:

     United Kingdom 🇬🇧

    I’m am generally happy with this now that I’ve had it running for a couple of months.

    The battery life is definitely only about 1 month from full charge not 3 as stated (but NOTE that there is one available with a larger battery which I would have bought had I been aware of it). I have mine set to SMS me on vibration alert and the vehicle only commutes twice a day for about 10 mins each time so I don’t consider that I’m causing a high activation load for the GPS to drain the battery quickly.

    I set my phone up so it would play an alarm whenever it receives a text from the tracker which is nice (by adding the tracker as a contact and setting a custom alert tone). Over the past two months it appears to have cost about 5 per month to send me text alerts (using the suggested GiffGaff sim card on PAYG, however GiffGaff have now doubled all PAYG prices (10p per SMS) so it’s not going to be particularly cheap from here on out.)

    The TKStar GPS app runs fine on my Android phone. It does crash out every now and again but generally I am happy with it. What is a bit clunky is that the app must be logged in to the My TKStar website in order for it to work, so you will be using mobile data on your phone, and you will only get alarms to go off if you are currently running the app on your phone. What appears to happen is that the tracker sends its location and alarm details direct to the website, then the app checks the website to see if it has received any updates from the tracker. The app then sounds the relevant alarm. I’ve found in general practice that this is fairly efficient but has a delay of about 30 seconds to a minute before you are alarmed about the vehicle exiting/entering any zones you have defined.

    Looking around the web I found that the tracker does have a microphone in it which means that it is (potentially) possible to listen to anyone speaking near to the tracker. I contacted the manufacturer who said that it had to be disabled for sale through amazon (which is a shame as audio from any thieves would be useful) but I can understand the privacy issues for doing so. I was told that items purchased directly from the manufacturer do not have the mic disabled though.

    For the price I think this is a great device and, having bought 3 of them, I would definitely buy another one if the need arises.

    This item does what is claimed apart from the battery life.
    After 11 months of use the battery is down to less than thirty percent in a week, despite being in sleep mode most of the time.
    The vibration alarm sometimes goes off for no apparent reason, although sensitivity can be adjusted.
    Backup from Ada at the Yunang shop was impressive.
    I would still recommend this, because for the price it gives me peace of mind in my campervan conversion, where it is discretely tucked away out of sight. The Giffgaff sim has not been topped up since first installing, so works out very economical.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersHere’s how I got this to provide SMS text alerts. Note I only got the shock/vibration alert to work. I did see a couple of move alerts on the first day but they didn’t occur every 3 minutes and, well, the shock alert is all you need if you want to know that an object has been moved. 1. using an activated giffgaff payg sim 2. use commands in order – admin to advise the mobile number you will use to send SMS commands to the tracker (I didn’t change the password), gprs, apn, apnuser, apnpasswd (if your network apn password is not blank) then 3. shock and finally 4. sleep123456 shock This last command puts the tracker to sleep between shocks. You will see the status in app or www as OFFLINE. 5. also have to enable shock in the app – by default it is OFF. Real-time -> Setting -> Vibration Alarm Switch -> ON (and this only works if the tracker is ONLINE).
    And then it just worked. app and www work for tracking and playback of tracks. There are quite a few other options but these can be confusing or unecessary. But tracking works. Looks like an excellent unit so far.

    Cheap and cheerful but does it work?

    Excellent tool, use it daily on my motorbike, and already alerted me twice, once for an attempted robbery, the other when a car parked and “bumped” into it….

    No 3 months batterry, but I would say a good solid months, maybe a bit more. I guess it all depends of how much do you use your vehicule and keep waking it out of sleep mode..

    Slap a giff-gaff simcard in it, add normal credit, set it up in a way that you get notifications through the app only ( as opposed to “by text” too), and it will indeed cost you about 30p / month,

    Generally speaking, amazing tool for the value, increased peace of mind, at a very resonable price.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersBattery life is good and it’s small enough to tuck away. My issue is the app doesn’t seem to work properly on my Samsung S7 so I get sent two texts whenever the car moves. The normal notifications and geofence don’t work but I can see they should have been triggered. I’ve had a couple of false alarms but overall it’s pretty good value.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBought for my motorhome whilst in storage, all you need is. a SIM card, the WhatsApp support line hand held me through the whole set up process. It was even texting me whilst it was in my office every time it got jogged. You can send sms commands to set it turn it off etc. Phone it and it send a message back with precise location. The Company were very attentive and kept checking that all was working OK checking the device themselves as well.
    It has been in place now for 24 hours battery still at 100%, I didn’t realise but there is an app as well.
    SO far I am very pleased with this product and the support that comes with it, I have had trackers in the past and paid over 300 for them plus a monthly subscription, this is far better.
    Lets hope it continues to function as it has so far.

    Great Tracking Device

    While I do not believe that the 3 months battery life is correct it does have a very impressive battery life (I am getting about a month between charges)
    I love this thing, when the app works its great and if someone jogs my motorcycle I get an alarm go off on my phone…..but there is the issue…its when the app works, a lot of times the app simply doesnt bother to let you know the alarm has gone off, add to that some horrible choices in UI flow and user control and I can not give the device 5 stars.
    still its very accurate, easy to install, small enough to tuck in anywhere and has an impressive battery life so it gets 4 stars 🙂

    Golden Review Award: 32 From Our UsersOk so i set it up, which is very easy providing you read the instructions carefully because this is one of those gadgets that a man cannot guess!! Tip (1) the password for the device is 123456 and ALL text codes are in the instruction leaflet. Buy the 1p giffgaff sim for it, it works great and is very easy to control using an app. Activate the sim FIRST before playing with the device. I opted for the giffgaff 5 500mb data ONLY tariffs because of how i am going to use the tracker. You can receive text alerts for every kind of alarm imaginable if you like, OR, you can receive alerts ONLY on your app. Tip (2), if you follow the instructions and register an admin telephone number, ie your mobile phone number, then you will receive app alerts and text alerts which is not only costing you money but is unnecessary. The app alerts are loud and clear and tell you immediately if the vibration alarm has gone off plus anything else you have turned on using the app, (not by texting commands because that is only to receive text alerts). I have set mine to update every 30 seconds simply because i bought the 5 data plan so that will more than cover it and will keep a close eye on my motorbike. I found the positioning so strong that the dot didn’t just land on my house, it actually landed on my garage when clicking on real time tracking using the app!! There is a theme here…..download the app and use it. It is so easy to control and offers a total peace of mind versus texting commands and receiving text messages with links to google maps, why would you? Tip (3) you can still set up the app and apn which you MUST do one time by texting commands as stated in 6.0 of the leaflet. Your apn info for giffgaff is found in the settings tab when downloading the giffgaff app, (hence setting that up first to allow time for it to create). Once you have set that up the app is completely stand alone from then on, no further texts required. If when you log on to the app your device is “offline”…..Tip (4)…..it is because you haven’t entered your apn detail or you haven’t got a signal on the device. When entering the apn detail DO NOT send a text for the password because there isn’t a password, this sounds confusing but trust me it is very clear on the instructions and is very easy to set up and get on line. To conclude, it is a truly cracking device that I very highly recommend. Hide it well and it will serve you well. I hope this has helped you to make an informed buying decision.

    Cheers
    Nick

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersQuite good. Installation is tricky but not impossible. Just follow the instruction with some tec-sense. The functions work: geo fence, speed check and alarm. I get a scroll of sms when I drive it over the set speed limit and out of the fence zone. Unlike what I watched on youtube, it DOES not consume data but I still need to get a monthly plan. I had it for 2 weeks and the data usage virtually zero. The battery last long too (about a week+ on hourly report mode). Note this is tested during the UK winter so it should go longer during the summer.

    It should serve its function though it has not been theft tested so who knows what happen when the car is taken against my will. Fingers x.

    Golden Review Award: 22 From Our UsersLove same day delivery with Prime Delivery. It’s taken my five days to get it working though, as I wasn’t aware only some SIM cards would work in it. At the same time as ordering the tracker, I ordered a Three SIM at 5 a month. It would give me 500meg and unlimited text messages a month, plenty for this purpose.

    What I then found was it wouldn’t work in the tracker. I think possibly because the tracker actually uses 2G for its communication and Three don’t have a 2G network, only 3G and 4G. So, taking advice direct from the instruction manual I ordered a Tesco PAYG SIM. With this my plan was to put 10 of credit on it (the minimum allowed in one top up) and let the tracker just work it’s way through the credit. I would expect it would work for 3 or 4 months on that much (depending how much I use it).

    Unfortunately, Tesco decided to take my 10 and sign me up to monthly payments of 10, giving me 2GB of data a month!? A quick 5 minute phone call and this had been corrected and I was moved to their ‘light plan’ which would let me use the credit as I expected.

    So with the SIM now working (I recommend using it in your phone until you can see for sure it’s working. Also recommend get the Tesco Mobile App installed, log in using a PIN that is text to you and then you’re logged in for good) I put it back in the tracker and proceeded with the setup instructions. Following the instructions to the letter, texting various codes to the tracker and now getting confirmation replies from it, I was able to set up the APN (Access Point Name) for the Tesco phone network. This will allow the tracker to use Tesco’s data network to regularly report in it’s location.

    Now I can install the app from the Play Store (or App Store if you’re on iOS) and connect to my tracker, using the numbers on the underside of the tracker. This allows me to open the app up and monitor its location in real time. The alternative being, you call the tracker (using the number you got with your Tesco SIM) and on hearing the voice mail, hang up. Within 10 seconds you’ll get a text message with a Google Maps link, showing exactly where the tracker is.

    With the connection working, next comes installing the tracker in the car. It is of course entirely up to you where to fit the tracker, but it’s quite handy that it has a magnetic case, so in theory you can stick it to the underside of your car should you wish. I’ve hidden mine within the car and it has no issues reporting back it’s GPS location from within the car, which is a relief.

    Using the app I can now keep an eye my car’s location. I can set various other options like a geofence, which means as the car leaves the area, I get an alert letting me know. I can set up multiple geofences, so one for home, one for work, maybe one for the pub if you so wish.

    There’s also a vibration alarm that can be turned on, a low battery alarm (although the app will show you the battery percentage any time you open it) as well as speed alarms.
    The manufacturers claim the 5,000mAh battery in the tracker will last 3 months on one charge, which sounds pretty good to me. It should then charge up in only 2 or 3 hours, which in theory you could do with a microUSB charger in your car, on a long journey. It wouldn’t be that hard to hard wire the power input if you prefer, then you can just forget about it!

    There is also an option to view your movement history. This could be handy to see routes you’ve taken, or perhaps to check up on your local garage, to see if they went anywhere they shouldn’t have!

    As for running costs. In two days I used 41p of my Tesco Mobile credit. So quick maths tells me this means I will need to top up every 50 days, so around 70 a year. This could be reduced by turning down the ‘checking in’ frequency of the tracker. For me, I had it updating its location every hour. Unfortunately, the only other option (aside every 30 seconds) was every 12 hours, which seems a little long.

    All in all I’m quite impressed with it. Only time will tell how reliable it is, but essentially trackers that you buy from firms for hundreds of pounds are very simple devices, just like this cheap one, that report back their location every now and then. I know they say you get what you pay for, with the big tracking firms that’s usually the service. If you’re happy enough dealing with this yourself through your own phone, this could be a good option for you.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersHave used it for a while and it’s very good. I was surprised at how accurate the GPS positioning is, and the strong built-in magnet has allowed me to hide it very well (I’d be surprised if any burglar would find it, but they probably wouldn’t even look for it as there’s nothing to suggest it’s there).

    The reason for not giving it 5 stars is because of the app. It won’t run in the background, so you can’t set up live alerts, etc through the app – you can only do so via SMS which works very well but can be costly. I’ve used other apps with cheaper children’s watches where I can set up geofencing and other parameters which provide live alerts via the app. This app should be able to do the same.

    Having said that, I still highly recommend it because the hardware really is very good, and if you’re happy to receive alerts via SMS then it’s fantastic.
