User Reviews

The SPOT iOS app is widely criticized for reliability and feature gaps. Repeated issues include crashes on iOS, data loading/sync failures, and an inability to update check-ins, messages, or contacts. Push notifications are unreliable or unavailable, and the UI is described as outdated with limited features (no cloud history, multiple apps per device). Many reviews also complain about pricing and lack of ongoing support. A few comments acknowledge basic in-app logging of locations/messages and some updates have arrived, but overall user sentiment is negative.

Pros

Provides a basic in-app log of messages and mapped locations.
App updates have been released, indicating ongoing maintenance.
It can display the Spot location on mobile when service is available.

Cons

Frequent crashes and the app won’t open on newer iOS versions (e.g., iOS 17.4.1).
Data won’t load or sync in the app; moving alerts don’t work even when web maps function.
Users can’t update check-ins, custom messages, or contacts; the app largely functions as a viewer.
Push notifications are unreliable or not configurable; permission prompts are missing.
Outdated UI/UX with limited features: no cloud history, multiple apps per device, and ongoing billing/pricing concerns.

Recent reviews

The tracking capability is so useful, but it’s really undermined by how terrible the app is. It doesn’t distinguish between multiple devices. It doesn’t draw a path between points so you can tell their order. It doesn’t report altitude. There’s no way the people who wrote this app ever use it, because if they were users, they’d find it intolerable and make it better.

The app doesn’t ask for notifications, its been this way forever. In the app it says it gives notifications but never asks for permissions to, meaning it doesn’t and can’t
