SMS Tracker Hints
Reduce Your Footprint 27 Mar 2017
Users running version 4.004 now have the ability to turn off GPS tracking in order to reduce your apps footprint. Manufacturers such as HTC and Huawei have configured their systems to terminate apps with a high battery consumption. Since GPS is far and away the highest power consuming feature in SMS Tracker, you might consider turning this off. To do so, visit the Settings page.

GPS Polling Interval 06 Nov 2011
Many users have asked for the ability to set the GPS polling interval remotely in order to switch between getting more accurate location data at times and then to extend the battery life at other times. You can now set this at Settings > Device > Edit this Device.

Broken Conversations & Message Offset 18 Sep 2011
Motorola/Verizon users may be seeing broken conversations where the incoming messages are off by several hours. To adjust for this, edit the Device on the Settings page and add an offset value. For example, if your phone is located in the Central timezone (GMT offset +5 Hours) you should enter +5 in the Message Offset field. (see this HowTo to fix)
