first i want to start by saying I have 3 teenagers, two are new drivers, one was involved in an accident, we live in Maine and there are no streetlights, it is dark up here, there was a car pulled over with no hazard lights and the man was standing in the travel lane by his drivers door, my daughter’s car mirror hit his arm going at 50mph, pretty scary, the mirror broke and crashed the window but no damage to his car, long story short he started yelling at her, she still had her paper license and the actual one had not come in the mail, no citations were given meaning no loss of license, she was hysterical thinking she could of killed him and him yelling at her did not help (he was hurt and angry I totally understand what he was going through), she called me and could not give me her location, it was a nightmare I have LIFE360 on the kids phones but she refuses to use it, my other child left his phone in the car and I could track her that way. this BOUNCIE device is a life saver, I placed it in the car, she has no idea, my car my rules right! well enough said. I am buying another one now that I see what it can do. You can also go under notifications and get SMS messages, so many features.
this GPS locator works really well! when I first placed it in my car the time was off and it did not show up on the app took several short trips on/off. I was expecting a 10minute drive would automaticly show up on the app but that was not the case for me. the time was off on the trip, I unplugged while in the off position then pluged back in and it was reset. A few days later my daughter went to work and I could see her driving with a small lag time, it shows the speed during the route under the “trips”, the address where she is parked and the time she left the house and arrived at her job. it also has “trips” to review each time you go somewhere, the car’s health, you can set a reminder for your oil change, tells you the battery health, engine health, and you can add multiple devices on the same app.
I had a question about the time being off so I contacted the help center (chat with us) and got help immediately, he was very nice and helped me. I felt the support was quick and helpful, I would attach a picture but again my daughter has no idea it is installed, it plugs into the OBD port and it is not visible unless you know what you are looking for. simple the only thing you have to do is put the app on your phone and set the app up before you plug the device in because you will need the number on the device for set up.
Overall, I would suggest this device to any parent who has a teenager learning to drive or a new driver, you never know how they will react when they get into an accident and with new drivers accidents will happen. I am very happy with Bouncie!
Update: I was able to remove the vehicle information and remove the vehicle connected to the Bouncie device IMEI number (car was transferred) and connected to another vehicle replacing it. Going back and fourth I would not recommend but you can transfer the device to a different vehicle if needed. I was very happy and I just purchased my third Bouncie device.
