Customer Reviews

never "updated" - never worked - poor customer service.

I purchased this product to track our former nanny. The device never located itself and never updated. Customer service was very challenging, spoke poor English and did not fix the problem - constantly presumed it was my fault even after walking me through the steps that I had just done and then blamed me when it wouldn't work.

Product defective

I made the mistake of purchasing a Zoombak gps tracker. Unfortunately, it didn't work out of the box. I called customer service (in India). They were very polite and sent me a replacement unit. But, the replacement unit also didn't work.

There are gps tracking devices that actually work. I ended up buying one and it has been working great.

It works

I almost decided not to buy this product based on some of the negatative reviews. Boy am I glad I DID buy it. I gave it to my sister and told her to take it with her and to send me a text when she arrived. I told her not to tell me where she was, and I would try to locate her. We played this game for a week testing the Zoombak and it only failed to transmit her location ONCE! Why you ask?
Because she had forgotten to turn it on!. I wish people would start reading the directions before they write a nasty review. They clearly state that it should not be placed under metal, yet one guy said he put it in his trunk, also remember it may take up to 15 minutes to get a location. Most of all remember it runs on a cell phone network. Does your cell phone work everywhere? No. As an ex-cop who took many missing persons reports I can easily say that this is a good product worth every penny, that does what it says! Oh and by the way I tracked it using my home computer and my iphone. And I got a signal under the seat, in the house and in the trunk. but keep in mind I live in a large city with great cell coverage.

If you have teenage drivers, you need this!

Reviewed by V. Picciuolo, 2009-03-07

I bought this shortly after my teenager returned home after disappearing with my car for 5 days. When I got her back, this product became an integral part of re-establishing trust in her again. When she was gaining back her driving priviledges, I tracked her movements continuously and watched where she went. I caught her lying 2 times about where she was at and each time, she lost priviledges for a period of time. Since those two times, I've never caught her lying about where she's at again, and yes, I still check up on her, but not continuously as I was before!

The online tracking at Zoombak.com is very easy to use. You can either do "spot checking" and see where your car is at that moment, or you can turn on "continuous tracking" and have your car tracked for an hour at a time. My only wish is that it was for longer than an hour. At the end of the hour, the tracking shuts off and you have to restart it manually.

A nice feature of the Zoombak is the ability to set zone alarms. If the car goes a certain distance from the location during certain hours, you can receive either text alerts on your cell phone, emailed alerts, or both.

You don't need a PC to track your car - it can be done via a cell phone, or even a call to Zoombak's customer service number.

I've only had to call Customer Service twice. Once to activate the unit, and again when I thought I had a problem with the unit - turns out I did not have any problem with it - and both times the agent was very polite.

I've had this permanently installed in my car so it stays constantly charged. I had Best Buy install it, and they were quick and inexpensive.

Even if you do not have teen drivers, this product will help give you and your loved ones peace of mind. Cars break down, cell phones batteries run out, cars get stolen...imagine knowing that you can find out where your car is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Zoombak Saves my Shar Pei rescue Xia

Reviewed by Steven B. Aguirre, 2009-03-07

My Chinese shar pei rescue, Xia, has been a little Houdini. She escaped under the fence and was saved by a good Samaritan in the middle of a busy highway a mile from our house. I started looking for some way to keep her safe and saw Zoombak on Martha Stewart. I put it on her everyday while we are away from home. I had just walked the fence line checking for possible fence leaks and found a little area that looked like it might entice her to attempt digging out. My husband hadn't reinforced it yet due to pouring down rain. Who would expect a CSP to go out into the rain at all--much less go out and hunt a place to dig under a fence????It had rained almost daily for weeks here. I take Xia out for a 3-4 mile run daily unless it is pouring down--and it was that Monday. Her Zoombak notified my husband's cell phone that she left the yard and was out by the highway and the entrance to the Natchez Trace. My husband rushed home from the police department while I was out doing home health care visits. This time she was gone, and it was raining and cold. He could not find her. I had him call the Zoombak rep who started tracking her. He told Bart she was in between the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor's Center and Beech Springs Road in the area we often run on the trails. Well, you can't pinpoint a location in the woods on the federal Parkway like a GPS can in a neighborhood with lots of streets. And she can run fast for miles. I finally get home and started the continuous tracking on my computer all the time praying fervently for God to save her & help us find her. Xia is not nice to strange dogs or strange humans. I could imagine a park ranger finding her loose, and Xia acting agressive. It was almost dark---the temperature was dropping--and it was pouring down rain. My husband finally found her, and I finally got Xia home just before dark!! That little imp goes right back out in the rain and tries to get back out of the fence!
Had it not been for that Zoombak, we would not have known where to even start looking for her. She was not in the neighborhood, and she was not interested in leaving the freedom of chasing smells in the woods. Xia most likely would not have made it through the cold wet night running back and forth across all those roads. Last time, she was a mile up north on hwy 145. This time, she headed south to the Natchez Trace Parkway. Zoombak was worth every $ I spend on it for just this one time it saved my dog's life!
