Autobrain

I don’t write a lot of reviews, but when I got the request for me to rate & comment about Autobrain, I did so happily. I had tried several other tracker-type applications via the App Store, and every one of them basically sucked and was a waste of my time and money. What makes Autobrain different? Well, for starters, Autobrain works...98% of the time. It worked right out of the box and was easy to set up. Compared to the other apps in the marketplace, this is apparently an extraordinary accomplishment! But stopping with that accolade would diminish the other things that make this product stand out above the competition. Roadside assistance comes with your Autobrain membership (I ditched AAA & saved $120). Thru the OBD scanner you can access to your car’s engine codes and fault diagnosis. As far as tracking goes, The mobile app works well, as does their website. Both provide you with the ability to go back in history if you wanted to find out where your car has been. I really love how I can get live, instant updates as to where my teenager is driving (and at what speed). Autobrain’s customer service is ridiculously efficient and friendly. The price is right, too (although I do think that they should discount membership fees for additional vehicles).

This product is really a little gem with more potential to grow. The app works perfect with the device and each update has improved the users experience. I also love the ability to diagnose codes on the spot and monitor the heath of my vehicle. I would like to request IFTTT integration to take the product to the next level. The ability to set triggers and use this device as a true IOT smart car device would be amazing. The device has all the elements needed for IFTTT integration and would unlock a lot of the devices true potential!

I started using Autobrain about 7 months ago, and it's incredibly useful. My favorite feature on it is to ensure my loved one gets home safely. Sometimes he forgets to text me when he arrives, which used to make me worry. Now I can use the app and I know he arrived safely. I'm also not a car-savvy person at all, so I like how the app lets me know my car is having an issue and I can get it checked. I recommend this to anyone, not just people with teens or senior drivers.

This app can definitely help you save some money on your car. If you like to DIY things, it sends you all the alert codes for your car so you can research and fix them yourself. It's helped me realize that even though my car runs, it has some issues that need to be fixed. If that's not your thing, it can let you know before your engine reaches critical mass to get someone else to look at it. A+ in my book.

It’s off a little on the locations, and it took a while for it to start registering every trip. I’d start at point A, and drive to point B. Then I’d go to point C, but it wouldn’t show the route from B-C. When I’d return to point A at the end of my work day, it’d show from point C-A but with a wild mashup of purple lines denoting whatever route would’ve been from B-C-A. It’s finally, after a couple weeks, reliably logging accurate trips.
