" ... The Whistle 3 was the second device I tried and I was very happy with the accuracy and battery life. ... "

" ... I got the defective one to work enough to test it out on my cat, and put the working one on my other cat. ... Both worked equally as poorly in my area. ... "

" ... I looked into quite a few GPS tracking devices for my dogs and based on the reviews decided on this one. ... "
" ... I bought this for the cell + gps functions. ... "
" ... The device is supposed to receive a GPS patch every couple of days. ... A simple fix would be to alert the owner that a GPS update hasn't been received in x number of days and that would alert the owner to reset the router and verify connectivity. ... "
" ... Thank You so much Whistle GPS. ... "
" ... I bought them because one of my dogs is an escape artist, and I wanted the ability to GPS track him if I needed to. ... I can't say that is a real test of the GPS tracking. ... "
" ... I was recommended this GPS tracker by a coworker. ... "
" ... I have talked to their support which gave me a suggestion of increasing the time for the GPS refresh rate. ... "

" ... It’s actually not easy to test initially because when it’s near your house, it’s connected to your WiFi and it doesn’t attempt to track your pet until they’re far enough away from the WiFi to disconnect and enable the cell service. ... Maybe about 15 minutes later I notice he’s gone, but the app still says he’s connected to WiFi . ... "
" ... it's absurd that device that is supposed to work with a cell phone must first be integrated with a home wi-fi system that the system fails to recognize. ... "
" ... I'm not worried where he is when he's inside, I only care where he is when he's outside, out of Wi-Fi range and so far, this device can't give me a clue where he is. ... Customer service says Wi-Fi doesn't aid with tracking, it does the opposite. ... Would have been nice for someone to say “choose a Wi-Fi network that has the worst reception for where you want to track your pet”. ... Perhaps I should connect to another Wi-Fi router and with poor signal in order to track my pet? ... Problem is, when editing the Wi-Fi network, the device won’t connect to it, even though all my other devices (iPhone, Android phone, Laptop, Tablets, Roku TV, etc.) ... "
" ... my dog is NOT at home anywhere near the wifi. ... "
" ... It wouldn't track, or update tracking information even after the whistle was back on wifi. ... "
" ... The GPS tracking feature does not turn on until the device is out of range of your WiFi. ... "
" ... The device doesn't use GPS, but only the AT&T cellular network. ... "
" ... Also, the device doesn't pick up WiFi very well, so the battery drains out in two to three days. ... "
