★★★★★ Great App — Bigdaddyinc
I use it for work when I do ride alongs with driver all the time runs great accurate records easy to use only suggestion is to have the screen info have the ability to print it out
Now the app no longer saves maps thinking of canceling fix or I’m out
★★★★★ New pricing is awful — deeGraYve
Appalled to see the price change from 2 to 12 dollars a month. I was using the app to record my trips and share locations with my relatives so I was using it about 4-5 times a year and didn’t mind paying 2-3 bucks a month for that. But 12 is just an overkill. Found a few apps that do the same for way less.
★★★★★ Can’t track route on Apple Watch unless iPhone is with me. — Blackheartsith
I subscribed to the live tracking service so that family could track me during a recent obstacle race but when I tried to start the tracker on my Apple Watch series 6 (gps+cellular), it always would say “can’t reach iPhone”.
It only works if my phone is with me.
The entire reason why hi got the watch and this app what is so that I would not have to drag my phone along with me having it bounce around in my pocket and risk damaging it.
Kind of defeats the purpose of having the watch app if you
★★★★★ Hate update! — Papaborg
Have used this app for years & hate this update! App kept shutting off & had to constantly resume. The marked location is too easy to accidentally click & can’t find anyway to get rid of the accidental marked locations. Am searching for another app to record our trips. Certainly would not recommend this app at this time.
★★★★★ Almost great — edifice98
I’ve been using this app since before the name change. It worked much better before they changed the name. I only mention the change because before that it never died on me. These days even with the always permission for location it often stops tracking. Should they fix this problem it would be 4 stars!
★★★★★ Awesome! — TRex007
I absolutely love this app. It lets my family track me real time down to the smallest, most remote location. Most definitely recommend!
★★★★★ Like Except For..... — MOVE IT! by bike guy
I like everything about Bluelane except it has a tendency to quit on me. As a result I constantly monitor it instead of letting it run in the background while I do my UberEATS thing on my bicycle.
★★★★★ Best of its Kind! — activelifejs
I’ve been using this app for years to share progress with friends and family during hikes or road trips. Take some time to experiment with the app over the course of a couple of weeks and find the settings that work best for you. You can choose from high precision, at the cost of more battery and data or you can choose smart mode which is still very accurate but saves a lot of battery and data because it only updates on significant position changes.
With the new Siri shortcuts added, you can n
★★★★★ Need some improvement — AlexGranado
This app is good, but it would of been cooler if it had an option in which it can let you mark certain points on the map, like stops, points of interest.
And also download maps.
★★★★★ Great App — hjhstaff
I use it to record motorcycle rides and let others check on my progress. Works great. Only minor gripe is battery usage can be high and if not in real time it will draw straight lines without regard to actual logical road routes.
★★★★★ Worked great until the update — AngieDM132126
This app worked perfectly for what I needed until they updated it. When I contacted them for troubleshooting, they said I was running too many apps at once. I run 3 at one time (mileage calculator, time sheet, and Bluelane) and there was never an issue until this update. I have to run all three apps but since this one can’t keep up, it’s in the trash. Would not recommend if you need to use more than one app at a time.
★★★★★ Data pig — Wheremi2
I like this app a lot. But you have to use only your gps because it uses a ton of data in a short amount of time. It will track you just fine without cellular data turned on. You can turn on your data for this app for a short time just to be able to see the map. Don’t forget to turn the data back off though!!
★★★★★ Fantastic Tracking — Mokie325
I love to use this app! All the time. It's accurate, helpful and fun! I'm currently using it to allow friends and family to track us on our cross country trek. I love it!!
★★★★★ best tracking app! — chaddavis
First off, this is an amazing app. It just works, I've used it on long vacations. App will even resume track after a reboot. However, it does seem the power settings are a little goofy... but could be just me. Either way, best app in its class!
★★★★★ AMAZING — News Veteran
I've tested this app with a friend who lives across the country from me, and he was able to track in real time my entire day's travel; even showing my various speeds on various roads and the amount of miles driven for that route. Be aware though, that if you use your iPhone during tracking, tracking will pause for the person watching you on the PC map, but it resumes again, and "catches up" with the route tracing when the call is complete. However, using the Magicjack app or any other "data" ty
★★★★★ Does the trick and doesn't drain my battery — Alavoil
This does exactly what it says it will do and it doesn't crush my battery.
★★★★★ Great for tracking your runner — srnelsons
My wife is a runner and I am her photographer. Problem is it is difficult to get pics of your runner if you don't know where they are on the course.
I was very skeptical about this App especially with the $4.99 price tag. I was concerned that this App would not update regularly enough to be useful, but this App performed above my expectation. My initial test realized my hope that this app was tracking in real time. I watched my wife run to the end of the block and turn down the next street an
★★★★★ Outstanding!!! — Only Top Apps
Elite performance capabilities, simple to use lets you see how many people have and or are currently watching. Saves map to history when tracking is ended which can be referenced at later date. Tracks mileage as well. All thumbs up!!!!!!
★★★★★ Simple and perfect — JonLong
Everything about this app seems great so far. I love that everything is simple and uncluttered. It's easy for the people you are sharing your route with to view in any device and in real time. And I like that you can see when someone is viewing the route. Hope this app continues to be supported!
★★★★★ Good and clean — nuad-user
Good to use app, simple and efficient. One observation - european users, like me, need metric system. Would be nice to have this option implemented.
Update, June 2015
App has metrics, excellent. As I said, really good app.
