OwnTracks - Your location companion
OwnTracks allows you to keep track of your own location.

Ratings and Reviews
Unreliable in background mode
I’m using this app since a while with fetching data in http mode. I’m quite confident now, it doesn’t even worth for a try at this state of the code. Completely unreliable with background activity. The app has full access to GPS, cellular network and background activity allowed, however it doesn’t fetch data most of the times (and no, this is not a problem of the availability of the target endpoint, this was tested accurate way). If I open the app and fetch data manually, it always works good and fast. Changing mode from significant movement to continous doesn’t help with the issue. Too bad, would be a nice app anyway to not talk about just cons only. It would be nice if the developer(s) could fix the issue with the background activity. Thanks
