"This is for you if you are looking for a privacy oriented gps tracker solution and most of all : if you are willing to read an excellently composed documentation. Built it for my kids, nephews, nieces and children`s friends. On a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS."

"Location accuracy is awful on my SGS9. Sending to my own server where I put locns in a DB for display on a map. Accuracy values are really bad, while other apps, eg Locus Map, track well. Tried with phone mounted on motorbike handlebars instead of pocket. No better."

"Can you make it so that it can use GPS only without Google location services? It defeats the point of having a service seperate from Google timeline if I still need to send them my location data anyway. Edit: Found the OSM version, thanks!"

"I understand the attraction of ``sparse``, but there is a fine line between that and ``absent`` when it comes to documentation. The app has for some hours now been reporting my location as being several hundred metres away from where I actually am, and does not seem inclined to refresh itself. There are some buttons at the top of the screen which look like ``play``, ``stop`` and ``fast forward``, but quite what they do is a mystery which the documention does not cast any light on (unless the information under the iOS section is intended to be relevant). The only way I`ve been able to get it to work is to place it in a mode which simultaneously drains my battery and consumes my finite stock of monthly webhook requests. Returning (reluctantly) to google."

"Incredibly cool app! Once you get through the configuration (a bit complex but worth the effort and very customizable) it serves as a great, security-focussed alternative to other closed-source location sharing apps/systems from Google/Apple/etc. I highly recommend using Owntracks Recorder and Mosquitto MQTT broker as the backend for this app. If you don`t need full MQTT, Recorder`s HTTP endpoint works really well on Android. Happy tracking!"

"I love the idea of this App even though I have nothing to hide. This installs and runs well with my Raspberry Pi4 as the MQTT broker. But I would love to take it to the next level with ot.recorder. I can`t find instructions to run this on the RaspberryPi."

"I`ve been using Owntracks for 8ish months and have loved it. Unfortunately this last update seems to have made battery consumption worse. I`m not sure why, or where to investigate, but it`s night and day. Old version used around 3% battery, this one uses around 9%."
