I've had my Fi Mini since the 23rd June, it's now the 28th and there are a few things I'm not entirely convinced by. Just wondering what other people's experiences are.

Rundown of what's been going on in the 5 days we've had it.

- Seems to show her walks as normal for a bit and then suddenly bee-lining through a random field.

- One of our car journeys showed her fly off into the next town over and stay there until we got to where we were actually going.

- Mileage appears to be random majority of the time, could do the same walk 2 days in a row and it'll show a completely different km than the previous day.

- Today, it tracked her steps but didn't track the actual walk whatsoever. My phone was with me, the app was running in the background like it always is and I had GPS. The tracker however, did not and was showing as offline for the entire time. I turned on lost dog mode to see if that would help and it didn't load up even after 15 minutes so I just turned it off. That in itself is quite worrying considering it's meant to be able to locate your dog in an emergency..

I bought Fi because I'd been recommended it by so many people, and now I'm just left feeling a bit disappointed in it not even a week later. Especially as it's the most expensive subscription for this kind of tracker on the market.

Thoughts? I have contacted customer service but because it's a Sunday I'm having to wait (hopefully) until tomorrow for some sort of non-AI acknowledgement.

Any other GPS trackers that could be better? We have tried Tractive a couple of years ago with some major faults, we also tried Pawfit and that was also pretty useless most of the time 😭
