SATELLAI GO dog GPS tracker - review by PPS
In Pocket Puppy School we’re always happy if we get the opportunity to test out another dog tech, especially dog GPS trackers. From multiple Tractive GPS trackers to Apple AirTag comparisons we have tried and tested out many of the big names, but also a number of lesser-known devices, like the Aorkuler.
But once in a while a gadget in our hands is so cool, we find ourselves raise an eyebrow and be like “oookay, this one might actually be something.”
And with the new SATELLAI GO dog GPS tracker was one of the few ones that got exactly that reaction. So here’s what we think of it after testing it for a couple of weeks.
PS! They currently have an early bird discount for you as well if you want to give SATELLAI GO a try. 🤗
SATELLAI GO dog GPS tracker
The Company SATELLAI was actually founded by a group of pet lovers, who have now released their new SATELLAI GO dog GPS tracker in Europe.
They are rather a tech forward company and position themselves in the pet care and AI area. And while they are not as globally known as some other pet GPS tracker brands, it feels like they are clearly aiming to go high up there.
Their claim:
“The most advanced AI powered satellite pet collar” & “A smarter way to keep track of your dog.”
After testing their pet GPS tracker, it’s pretty clear that it’s not “yet another pet GPS tracker”. They might me onto something here. But not drag it any longer, let’s into it.
3 tail wags
First let’s start off with 3 things we really like about the SatellAI Go GPS tracker.
First and maybe even the most important ones is that - IT WORKS! And it works well. We are not afraid to give credit, especially when it’s is well earned.
The location accuracy and update speed on the map were surprisingly solid. No random skips or zig-zags. The live tracking responds quickly and it’s super important in cases where you ACTUALLY need to look for your dog.One of the best sound features we’ve heard. It might seem like an overkill to hype it has much. But we have tested quite many different dog GPS trackers and most of the time, the sound feature is nice to have, but won’t really help in an SOS situations.
But SATELLAI GO has 3 different sound options. One that is like a regular whistle sound (loud and clear) and then 2 other ones that sound more like a command.
So if you train your dog to understand it and react to it, then it can really help you out, when your dog is on the run.
3. Light feature in our opinion aced the brightness and placement of it. This one actually really surprised us. Not only is the light on the tracker bright enough, but the placement is also great.
So even when your dog runs around and the tracker shifts a bit, the visibility of the light is still there. And even our Huskie’s fur couldn’t dim the light.
2 head tilts
In this section we’ll go through 2 things that aren’t great nor bad, but they’re there.
As it seems to be a weird norm nowadays, but we just can’t seem to escape the good old subscription AKA the modern reality. Like most other pet GPS trackers, SATELLAI GO also runs on a subscription model.
It isn’t anything too much, which is good, but it’s also not 0€. So when you’re buying their GPS device, just keep in mind that you will need to get the subscription as well.
2. The first dog GPS tracker that has an AI coach feature. Now why this is currently under a head tilt and not up there with the tail wags - well, it is in the app and you can use it, but it’s just not there yet fully.
The “AI coach” gives you information if you ask… and not little. But also, it gives you information that isn’t helping you. And by that we mean that the AI coach doesn’t seem to know the app itself. An example, when you ask about how to upload files or pictures from the vet’s visit, you’ll get directions on how to do it. But in reality there at least currently isn’t even the option to upload any files.
Also when you ask a specific question, you’ll get an answer, but the range of the answer goes a bit too wide.
1 bone to pick
Given how ambitious and promising the product is, we truly hope that they will continue improving the app. The foundation is set, but it just needs time to grow.
And that is our bone to pick with the SatellAI Go pet GPS tracker - their software maturity is just not quite there yet. The hardware itself is great, though.
The app in general looks modern and clean, but there are several features that feel unfinished. An example, when we tried to connect it to our home wifi, the app thought that we are in China (this currently has been fixed already 🤓).
These small things aren’t a deal breaker by no means. The pet GPS tracker really does have big potential to be the next big thing in pet GPS trackers industry. But as we have said, because of the app and software, it needs some improving.
Is SatellAi Go pet GPS tracker worth it?
If you are looking for a new dog GPS tracker that:
* updates the location fast and accurately,
* has great sound and light features,
* feels sturdy and thoughtfully designed,
* and offers a new twist with their AI features
, then we would say that SATELLAI GO is a great option.
Overall their device is something new and improved that what we have seen on the pet GPS tracker’s market. Some things need improving, but if they keep pushing, then they really do have something good here.
SATELLAI GO pet GPS tracker is definitely Pocket Puppy School approved!
