It may be over-rated, and over-priced
I really don't get all the hype. This is a plastic car charger that works like any other.There are two benefits to this one: 1) car location tracking and 2) reversible USB plugs.The car tracking app is terrible, but it does offer voltmeter functionality, which is useful for me because my Jeep Wrangler doesn't have a voltmeter. The tracking is so buggy and unreliable that I haven't even bothered to keep the app on my phone anymore.The reversible USB ports are amazing, because now there's no right or wrong way to insert a USB plug. That makes inserting plugs while driving a snap.Some complaints I have is that it seems to make a constant high-pitch whine, almost like a high-frequency electricity noise. It bothers me and gives me headaches. It also seems to quit at times and I have to twist it in my 12v power source to get it to work again.I like the white LED glow it has.

Ingenious car location charger.
I bought this for one reason -- to be able to find my car, which I'm constantly losing track of in large parking lots... I wasn't sure how it worked, at first, but was a bit skeptical about it's function.Once it arrived, plugged in, and the app downloaded (which is about as easy as it gets), the function I bought it for was amazing. I was a little concerned at first that it may pair with my phone, and interfere with my phone pairing with the car. Not the case. The way it appears to work, is it uses your phone's location service, and stays in contact with the app, when the car is running, and power supplied to the charger. When you turn off your car, the app detects the loss of "heartbeat" with the charger, and plants a waypoint in the location service at that time. So, theoretically, you could be hundreds of miles away from your car, and since the app is following a coordinate placed in your location service, it will still take you right to your car.Brilliant.The downloadable free app is just as inspiring. Easy to use, large "radar-like" display with a rotating arrow that gives you both the direction, and the distance to your car.The fact that it has two softly lit charging slots, and seems to charge my phone MUCH faster than previous chargers, is all gravy.Definite thumbs up... and would recommend.

but I wasted my money on this device
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I wasted my money on this device. I bought it because I was going on a week-long cruise and had to park my car in a very large lot with no markings to tell which area I parked my car. I got the device well in advance, downloaded the app, and began to use them to be sure that I would be able to find my car when I returned from the cruise.The directions for using the app and the Zus confused me. At first I couldn't get the app to detect the Zus. Then, the app would not consistently detect that I had parked my car. Through trial and error, I discovered that the Zus had to be plugged into an outlet that lost power when the car was turned off. After discerning that, the app successfully saved the location of my parked car more than half but less than all of the time.When I got to the parking lot for the cruise on April 24, 2016, the app informed me that it had saved the location. I went aboard the ship, and soon after the app displayed a message indicating that it had FAILED to save the location, and that I should take a picture of the car. At the same time, it said that the last saved location was recorded on April 24, 2016!In short, the hardware seems to work reasonably well, but the app is useless!I bought this device strictly for locating my car, because my car has usb ports built into it, so I had no need for additional charging capabilities. As a result of the inadequate performance of the app, I wasted my money. Until the app is improved, I do NOT recommend buying this device.

I use to really like this car charger and locator
I really like this car charger and locator. I needed a car charger (and this one works great) but why not also get a nice car locator. The locator works great. Just have the app open when you park your car. It automatically notes your car's location. When heading back to your car, simply bring the app up and it points towards your car and tells you the distance. Also, it has a map view if you prefer that.EDIT: I've dropped my rating to 2 stars because of connection issues. The device may be fine but it won't connect reliably to my car's BT. If I remove the connection from within the app, reconnect, then all is fine. But this is a hassle. You may ask why I downgraded my rating on the device when it may be the app causing the issue. Well I downgraded both reviews. I can't tell what the issue is but regardless, it is a system (i.e. device and app) and with out all functioning perfectly, it has issues in my opinion. Plus I can't find support for this device or app.EDIT: Went to 5 stars. I did find customer support and they were wonderful. Very helpful. Happy camper.

Half Baked Review
Great build quality and expert app that allows you to find your car. I actually was 45 miles away from my car and the app identified the direction and distance, stellar. I do hope that my data won't be destroyed using this device, it currently looks like it only uses minimal data consumption from Jun 1st to Jun 26th, the data consumption remained at 4.36mb which is fairly low.The main gripe that I have is the fast charging capabilities because they are just non-existent. When I plugged in my wireless fast-charging pad into my car, I instantly knew there was an issue because my GS7 Edge was not telling me that I was getting a "fast charge." I tested the output with a few different devices such as a multi-meter and an inline voltage meter, the result was a 1.3 amp output. I was extremely disappointed because the claim was above 2.0 amps! I thought there was an issue with the digital signal and hooked it up to an oscilloscope and unfortunately, everything was the same. I thought again "was this just my unit?" but I actually purchased two of these devices and was confronted with an output of 1.2 amps from the second device. From my experience, don't purchase this device for the charging capabilities, get it for the app which beat my expectations.

it drained the battery of my iPhone 6S like crazy. Unless they fix this problem
I used it for less than a day and then stopped using it. it drained the battery of my iPhone 6S like crazy. Unless they fix this problem, this is not a friendly product for your smart phone.
