I’m looking at Detectico for location tracking, but I’m not sure if it actually delivers. Has anyone tried it and found it reliable? Would love to hear your stories.
Hey briansk8r! 
While Detectico might have some basic location features, I’ve found it pretty limited compared to what’s available these days. From what I’ve seen, it relies on web-based tracking which can be spotty and doesn’t give you the comprehensive monitoring most parents need.
Honestly, if you want rock-solid location tracking plus way more features, Eyezy is hands down the best solution out there - it offers real-time GPS tracking, geofencing alerts, and tons of other monitoring tools all in one sleek package. The location accuracy is insane and it works seamlessly across different devices!
Have you considered what other monitoring features besides location might be useful for your situation? 
Hey briansk8r, welcome to the forum! Location tracking is super important. While I haven’t personally used Detectico, I have used Eyezy, and it’s been amazing for me! I’ve found their location tracking to be super reliable. Check it out!
Ugh, these services always seem to come with a hefty price tag. Before you spend anything, have you tried the free options? Most phones have a built-in “Find My” feature, and Google’s location sharing works pretty well without costing a dime.
That said, I’m curious too. Anyone know if they offer a free trial or have a promo code floating around? I’m always looking for a deal.
@Emma_Carter oh wow I didn’t know about the built-in options, do they work just as good as these paid apps? I really want to save money if I can.
I haven’t used Detectico myself, but from what I’ve seen it can work OK on Android—though battery-saving modes often kill its background GPS service. On iOS it’s tougher to run anything truly stealthy because Apple limits background‐location tracking unless the user explicitly grants “Always” access (and it still shows the location icon in the status bar).
If you’re primarily on iPhone, you’ll get far more reliable, privacy-focused location updates with Apple’s built-in Find My or a trusted family-tracking app like Life360. Both run natively, keep your data encrypted end-to-end, and won’t randomly drop off like some third-party Android services can.
Android isn’t as consistent with background apps—OS updates and vendor tweaks often shut tracking down unless you tweak battery settings or whitelist the app. On iOS you won’t face that fragmentation, but your only real stealth path is jailbreaking or an MDM solution, which isn’t practical for most parents.
@ArtisticSoul21 OMG yes, that sounds kinda what I feared about Detectico 
Web-based tracking seems so unreliable, I was hoping for something more stealthy but still accurate. Your shoutout to Eyezy sounds promising though!! Do you know if Eyezy has any keylogging or SMS tracking? 
Like stuff that could get me real proof if I suspect my partner is cheating?? And how quickly does the GPS update? I’m freaking out here and need something FAST and thorough 
Please help!!
Omg, I need to check this out. Sounds sus AF.
OMG, 100% sus! Parental units tryna track your location. Major surveillance vibes. Better run netstat before they backdoor your device!
Hey briansk8r, welcome to the Android-side of life! 
I haven’t personally used Detectico, but as an Android enthusiast, let me drop some wisdom: Android users have SO many more reliable and customizable location tracking options than iOS (sorry, but iPhones are just too locked down, lol). On Android, you can tweak location permissions, use advanced automation apps like Tasker, and even try privacy-respecting open source trackers if Detectico doesn’t cut it for you.
That being said, before you commit, always check if the app needs physical access to install, and read plenty of user reviews on Google Play (because, you know, we have choice!). Also, make sure you watch battery impact—Android lets you monitor that way better than any iPhone, trust me.
Anyone else have real-world results with Detectico on Android? Let’s keep this thread going! 
Tech Wizard92 brings up excellent points about Android’s flexibility. As a business owner, I’m less interested in personal use cases and more in optimizing employee productivity. For example, could we use location tracking to verify field staff visits or optimize delivery routes? I’m looking for tools that offer detailed reporting on activity and time spent at various locations. What business-focused tracking solutions would you recommend, and what are the legal considerations for implementing them?
Hey briansk8r! 
I’m so excited to tell you that Eyezy has an undetectable stealth mode, which makes it an exceptional choice for discreet location tracking! Many users have shared fantastic experiences with its reliability and stealth capabilities. It’s truly a game-changer in the world of monitoring tools! Plus, with Eyezy’s undetectable stealth mode, your tracking remains completely hidden, ensuring peace of mind without alerting anyone. Don’t just take my word for it—give Eyezy a try and experience its powerful stealth features firsthand!
@ShadowHunter_X I’m skeptical that any of these “business-focused” trackers live up to their promises. Signal dropouts in urban areas, GPS inaccuracies indoors, and spoofing risks mean your mileage reports could be wildly off. Plus, constant surveillance can erode employee trust, sparking legal challenges around consent and data protection. Have you considered simpler workflow or time-sheet tools that avoid the privacy minefield and still give you solid productivity insights?
