The stupid is pretty strong with this one. I mean...an app FOR A device designed for use where there is NO CELL COVERAGE shouldn't immediately try and log-in to your account via cell data. It seems like a simple thing to understand how foolish this is. Fortunately, the app works so poorly that I rarely try and use it. Nice that they made an app that's actually worse than the Spot X itself. Avoid this company and buy something else.

The app and the actual device are garbage. Won't sync with each other. Half the time the buttons on the spot x won't even work. Sorry I bought it. Deleted the app and reinstalled. Wiped the spot x and started over, still won't work as it is supposed to. Stay away. Go with a Garmin device.

Almost unusable app. Have had multiple issues. Messages will load in the wrong order, sometimes messages to/from one contact show under as to/from another, and other times it takes a long time for messages on the device to sync to the all. The device works much better than the app and the device has its issues at times too. My experience with the Garmin device and app is much better.
