I like how onstar guardian shows your location and address. If you're ever in an accident or stranded, the person coming to find you can see exactly where you are

I love having my guardian because if I didn't. I would not be able to know if my family was in trouble or if we needed anything, great service to have

A huge thank you to the OnStar team for the exceptional service I received. From the moment I called, the representatives were kind, patient, and genuinely concerned about my safety. Even though the towing company failed to provide service, OnStar stayed in contact, checked on me, coordinated with AAA, and made sure I wasn't left feeling alone while stranded. Their communication and professionalism were outstanding throughout the entire ordeal. Excellent customer service is hard to find

Every time 106 Tyson Rd shows up as my location. It is wrong. I live across the street from Tyson Rd at an angle from it. We DO NOT LIVE ON TYSON RD!!!!

This app is not honest try offering roadside assistance trial but u can't use it until after the 30-day trial period ends then u got to pay for subscription before u can request it's unprofessional false advertisement

Guardian should stay logged in on this device, similar to my Amazon and Google apps. But it doesn't. Guardian is not useful in an emergency if I need to look up my password, enter my phone number, and verify a code. What sense does that make? My spouse has short-term memory issues, so I am removing Guardian from her device because it is useless to her in this condition.

The app works showing my location, though I have not been able to add anyone they say it does not work for them. The location of my vehicle does not show on the app. The app is useless if I somehow got disoriented or forgot where I parked to locate my vehicle. Only locates me and others if they can be added.

Sometimes it works great for a little while. Most of the time though it can sometimes take over an hour for my family members location to update. Knowing their location is the whole point so It's not very reliable.
