Love this satellite device

Awesome app and device, have used this many times and it has never let me down. thankfully I’ve never needed to use the SOS but everything else works great. One thing that would be really great is if the weather had a bit more information, such as hourly wind.

The answer to outdoor communication problems we all have

As an outdoors adventurist, I often find myself lacking any phone signal to communicate to family and friends unless I find a perfect hill top. Pairing the app with the hotspot allows me to not only reach out to my family and friends anywhere in the world, but also gives me peace of mind with the SOS feature. Compared to others, this app is seamless and user friendly. Very innovative and futuristic approach to communication and safety.

Good device - poor customer service

Like device. Does what it is supposed to at decent price. Can’t get to my account. Tried resetting password with no luck. Email to company takes days for response and the last time they gave me a generic answer so I had to ask again. Still waiting for response. Subscription renews in three weeks. If I can’t access account within two weeks will start cancellation process. Too bad because I like this thing but can’t stick with it if I have no access to account.

The end of a great device

Somewear previously worked well with decent communication, ok customer service and acceptable satellite coverage. It had some bugs but worked well enough to be safe in the backcountry and was the best device at its price point. On a recent trip, location tracking stopped working and customer service has been nonexistent. Despite several emails and phone calls I’ve been unable to get any support. For a device I count on for safety in the backcountry, this is totally unacceptable. I ultimately initiated a chargeback for the subscription fee and bought a new device.

iOS 3.4.0 introduces Split Tracking Intervals - allowing you to customize the frequency of location tracking depending on your connectivity and share your location more often over higher bandwidth channels. Once you upgrade your Somewear to a supporting firmware (Node 3.27.17 or Hotspot 3.9.16), you’ll be able to independently set your tracking interval for higher-bandwidth connections vs. satellite-only interval. On Node, users in the same mesh as you will see your location refresh at your high-bandwidth rate. The new tracking intervals available are: Mesh / Cell tracking: 5 seconds, 15s, 30s, 1 minute, 5 minutes. Satellite tracking: 5 seconds, 15s, 30s, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10m, 20m, 30m, 60m (1 hour).
