So I was suggested this app by a friend so I went ahead and tried it and my car serpentine belt happened to break. I requested roadside and over 4 and a half hours and still not a tow has been sent to help tow the car to a place to fix it. I would not use this for roadside you will be left cold in the middle of the night for hours this was the most ridiculous roadside subscription I ever could have decided to try out pure garbage.

USELESS! Zero! My location tracking quit working. It had worked great for first few months. Contacted OnStar, submitted all info requested, kept getting emails from different people in supposedly different departments promising help, but it's still not working! Reports about this issue go back over a year with no fix. If you expect the app to locate and send help to a family member it can't because it locks on to one location and always thinks they are there! Never updates after this happens.

Looks to be good in the future possibly. Just downloaded it and already have bugs such as no plan information (I subscribe to highest plan), disappearing pictures for family & there's only a limited number of locations you can add to the map. Right now this would be to just login & hope it works in a crash but for location of family group, Life360 is ahead, and free. Next, you can use Google maps to see friends & family's locations. This has great potential, looking forward to what it becomes!
