Great Customer Service

The company was very prompt in dealing with a subscription issue I was working with. Communication was prompt and I was able to clear up my issue within 24 hours. We are extremely pleased with the service and the problem resolution.

Customer service remains a challenge

Customer service remains a challenge. I really dislike being sent bot responses that put all of the burden on the customer . . . i.e., here read all of these pages and see if it answers your question! If I'm calling you it's because I've run into a problem I haven't been able to solve it on my own. I think customer service should be at the top of a company's goals list, not the bottom.

3 day fix!!

Experienced technical issues with tracker, contacted Tractive and after exchange of emails outlining issues, Tractive determined that a replacement unit would be the most expeditious solution. 1.5 days later new unit arrived at my door and existing contract, etc., automatically did the rest once I turned on the new unit. Quick, courteous, professional experience from start to finish.

Love the Tractive

I had an issue with one of my devices. Normally these days when you send an email, you wait an eternity to get a response. The customer service agent at tractive emailed me back within a couple hours with a detailed description of what I needed to do. The solution worked perfectly, even after I had tried different things myself that did not work.It was just that one thing I did not know. I am very happy with the attractive system.I have three dogs i take out on hikes daily.So the function of this device is very important. I dumped FI over there, crappy service,
Customer support and outrageous pricing. So far, I have been super happy with Tractive. I am a professional in the dog industry and I am changing all my people over to the tractive system. I especially love that you have the ability to beep the collar or turn the light on from the app. I also love their warranty of 2 yrs vs FI 90 days. Their service
Price is also half the cost of FI.

Fantastic!

Tried quite a few trackers, and after lots of trials with them and multiple headache after headache, Tractive was a breath of fresh air. Had connected to the app before I’d even got it out the box, so connection was seamless. Tested it by putting it in the car before putting it on an animal, and it picks up every single movement. The safe/danger zones are a breeze to set up and instantly let you know when the tracker enters and exits them moments after it’s happened, rather than like other trackers which it takes sometimes hours! Such a bargain price for the unit and subscription when it’s that accurate. Definitely would recommend, 10/10.

Great all round

We live near forests in northern Hungary and the tracker still works pretty well, even in places there is no phone signal. Great for taking the dog off lead and to know when he's safe at home.

I was very impressed with Katrina's…

I was very impressed with Katrina's prompt response and her suggestion to resolve the issue I was having with my cat's tractive collar worked. I was extremely concerned having our cat out in the middle of the bush here in Kenya without it - so I was really appreciative that Katrina got back to me so quickly with an instant fix! Thank you.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

100 recommend%. We were hunting for an alternative to AirTags as they are absolutely rubbish & so happy we decided to give Tractive a try. The best thing about it is how accurate it is, which is so reassuring. It’s mini/light and has great features like a flashing light (if you need to see your cat in the dark), an AR radar (it will literally take and point you to your cat). You can create a no go zone/fence so it alerts you when your cat has gone outside the boundary. You can also see your cats health and the history of where they have been. The only downside is the battery is 1 or 2 days worth before it needs charging. The sound feature on it is also very quiet. Overall it is worth the money

I'm quite disappointed by tractive

I'm quite disappointed by tractive, no instructions on the box all of it had to be done in app. There's an option to create a fence zone which I was very happy to learn, meaning I would get a alert if my cat wandered outside of this, the zone can't be made small and compact to my yard and actually will only cover several gardens of other households rather unhelpfully. The exact location address is wrong and can't be edited in the app. The collar is very big and it's difficult to make it small enough for my cat.

Issues quickly resolved

I am having issues with a newer tracker I bought, it wasn't connecting to GPS as reliably as my older one. I tried all the re-set options given on the FAQ/Help page and it still wasn't reliably connecting, and the battery was draining in less than 24-hours. Frustrating to say the least! I reached out to Tractive, and within 3 days I have a new tracker enroute to me! Great customer service, and a really useful device to have on my pup who likes to roam.
