Review summary

Users appreciate TrackMe for its long-term reliability, rich features, integration capabilities, and excellent developer support. However, some common issues include SMS command failures, motion sensor dependency causing inaccurate tracking in vehicles, insufficient offline map caching for large areas, and a somewhat confusing user interface. Despite these cons, the app remains a popular and well-supported choice for outdoor and travel tracking.

Pros

Long-term reliability and consistent updates over many years
Excellent and responsive developer support and customer service
Feature-rich with many options for tracking hikes, travel, and other routes
Ability to integrate with external servers (trackserver) and import/export GPS data
Low battery usage and competent offline capabilities

Cons

Issues with SMS commands not functioning (e.g., !start)
Dependence on phone motion sensors causing track logging errors, especially in vehicles
Limited offline map caching area, insufficient for larger regions like counties or states
User interface can be confusing and requires some learning curve
Problems exporting or downloading GPS files not clearly resolved

2024-03-10	Fl*****	I Love This App... I use this app every single night while riding my ebke and track myself for fun, usually 20+ miles a night.. I also look at a Weather app (weatherbug) with radar since I'm in S Florida to check where the rain is prior to my rides... Weather would be a fantastic addition to have that on Track Me..

2022-07-19	Ka*****	Overall working good, but yesterday found it to stop logging track with message about no motion detected. But I can see my speed in another window, so motion going should be clear. I think app will not calculate motion from changing GPS location, but from phone motion sensors and that is not reliable in vehicles. You should forget motion sensors and look at GPS!

2022-03-29	Na*****	All in one Tracking app, been using since +6 years maybe. Bravo. But, won't start recording with SMS (!!start). NO SMS interaction at all.

2021-11-06	is*****	Offline feature in the cache only is not sufficient.Need to be able to save larger areas manually. Like a whole county or state. What if I get off track or get lost? The app will stop providing useful info. Anything within 50 miles to my planned destination should be saved.

2020-08-24	Pe*****	I travel and hike very often and this app has everything I could ever need, either to know what I'm going or to review old trips. Thanks so much to the developer for keeping this app updated for so many years!

2020-08-09	Pa*****	This app is superb. I use for motorbike rides. Shows my routes perfectly. One question, can I export times for each point, please? So that l can add to a track display showing my position with GoPro video (GoPro GPS record is really not good). Thanks for quick reply to my comment and for the advice.
