Keep track of the things you love most with the Pod 3 Customizable GPS Tracker. This system helps you find your items virtually anywhere in the world at the touch of a button. This device can track anything from your backpack to your pet using four layers of technology. The Pod 3 uses GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even cellular connectivity. In addition, the cellular connectivity allows it to function in 175 different countries with unlimited range. Use the app to create a virtual fence, and, if your items leave this safe zone, Pod 3 will send you an alert. Additionally, you can monitor the activity of your items with the motion sensor alerts. Finally, you can even track and share the route of your adventures with the recording feature. In addition, Pod 3 is a modular system so you can create a tracker to suit your specific needs. Add on the XL battery, sound, light, ultrasonic, or power dock module to utilize the additional features.

For those of us who ordered the pod with additional modules when might we expect to receive them? Also are any retailers likely to receive modules ahead of backers?
Offering details in addition to what we already have to this group would have done little except unecessarily increase concerns and cause a stir. We genuinely apologise for the wait - we completely understand your frustration and know you want your products as soon as possible. At this stage, we're providing reimbursement for your inconveniences and are doing our very best to get your product to you as soon as humanly possible. Again, we recognize it's been a bumpy road and we should have held off on giving any ETA if we weren't 100% sure (despite constant requests for updates). Instead we took our best guess with the information we had at the time to tried to keep everyone in the loop. It's a tricky balancing act coming to market with a new tech product under the magnifying glass of an entire group of backers!! In the end, we hope you'll come around and see that we've had the best intentions along the way and the ultimate goal was to get the best possible product to you within the shortest amount of time while balancing other commercial obligations, resources and 3rd party suppliers.
The team obviously got a bit too optimistic in their projections of the release, but let's give them some space.
Your alternative, after all is what exactly? Going back to LoCator? Name another product on the market with similar capabilities? And I am not just talking about GPS trackers, but the ones that have modular structure, size, small enough to fit on a cat, WiFi and Bluetooth built-in, smart app to tie everything together, etc.
Let's all be civil and wait for our shipment notifications that should be coming very soon. And to the product team I sincerely hope you were able to flush all the major bugs out, because the storm of negativity you have to fight off right now would be nothing compared to the bad mouth you'll hear if after multi-month delays the Pod would still fail in everyday use.
They may have been deliberately held back because there are still various software / firmware bugs.
Alternatively, they were held back so the manufacturer can send it bulk around the world which is cheaper / more efficient for them.
You will be even more angry / upset if it arrived now with all the bugs. Hopefully they will resolve the issues within 2 weeks and your POD will arrive at the same time.
You promised in this update (after advising of yet another delay putting you 3 months behind schedule apparently because you guys got major investment from a telco in a country not applicable to me!) that by end of June I would receive botcstion of a confirmed shipping date....well guess what, I've had nothing! And boy am I cheesed off.
You stated "You have all received a fantastic discount on what is considered in market to be a premium product" but a discount on NOTHING is worth nothing. I'm starting to believe, likes number of other backers, that this has been nothing but a scam �
"Our manufacturer is now producing the remaining units as fast as possible while ensuring the quality meets our high standards. We will be shipping the orders on a rolling basis over the next few weeks and you should be receiving shipping notifications very soon." Weeks and weeks ago backers were given different stories before being told they had to be a beta tester if they wanted the unit. Now backers are being told that instead of sending out the units, they have all been held back until you have enough units for a retailer launch. This doesn't sound like a KickStarter premise to me? Seriously guys, if it takes 8 weeks for your manufacturer to make enough PODs for a kickstarter then you have a big problem. ps: I checked with somebody else and neither of us appear to have received any official communication regarding your compensation that was intimated earlier.. A lot of promises that are never fulfilled without chasing, and the same thing happens again next time. I hate to say it but you guys have a slow learning curve. Hopefully this is because you are techies and about to resolve all of these software / firmware bugs and deliver a reliable product that can return a GPS location on demand.
