ChipoloONE Card - Wallet Tracker, Bluetooth Finder for Wallet, Passports, Item Finder, Premium Features, Out of Range Alerts, Works with Chipolo app (iOS & Android Compatible)

Works great. The range is okay (at most 10 meters) but could be better. App is easy of use.

Before I get Chipolo, I already tried apple AirTag and Tile. Of course AirTag not work with android phones , I returned same day. Tile worked only one day with no problem, next day it started loosing connection and end of the day completely lost it, I tried factory reset and reinstalled app , nothing helped, finally Tile went to return like AirTag. I have a Chipolo about a week right now and it works both ways phone to Chipolo and Chipolo to phone with no issues. Don’t expect gps real time location from Chipolo, it is not gps device, it is Bluetooth , it is work perfect when you lost your key or phone at home, yard or car , it will show on the map where you left Chipolo , but again it is not gps device, if someone take it you not able to track the Chipolo in real time. So I keep Chipolo, it works for my needs , when I can’t find my key or phone in garage or under the blanket on the couch, it is playing really loud music and here they are.

The concept is great. I put this on my dog’s collar and if she gets away at the park or sneaks out my back door, I’m able to track her before anything happens.In reality, their product is garbage. Jazzie has gotten away 3 times while wearing it and 3 times it has failed.Once, it showed that she was still in the park. She was not. She had been grabbed by someone, taken across town and was spotted by someone who has seen her pictures on my Facebook.She rides with me daily in the passenger seat of my car and this thing will make my phone alert me and ask if I left my dog behind while I am literally one foot away, driving. This happens... Every. Single. Day.A neat function is the ability to find my phone if I lose it nearby. Simply click this device and it makes your phone ring.That would be fantastic If it worked every time instead of it’s current 1 out of every 2-3 times...It offers the ability to be a remote clicker for your phones camera, should you choose to “take a selfie”.Taking a selfie is not something I’m personally looking for in a gps tracking device for my dog, but what do I know? I’m a just a 43 year old CEO of a small private equity firm in New England, not a 25 year old hot shot tech developer “West Coast Cool” and conning people out of their cash for a product that is barely ready for beta testing but got sent out into the actual market to bring in some money fast because maybe there’s an angry investor or two calling frequently to find out when the capital starts coming in from their venture.I didn’t return it. Why?Id simply prefer to see it as a small fee, a “Stupid Tax”, if you will, to learn a lesson to never, ever buy from this brand again.Don’t buy it. Trust me, you don’t need to experience this product first hand to be glad you didn’t. It’s that bad.And you see, it is a shame because my stepdad is starting to show signs of dementia and initially I thought this would be great for my mom to have for him. They’re in their late 70s now and I can’t always be there with them.But it failed me for my dog. I don’t dare introduce it to my mom. I would never forgive myself if an avoidable tragedy struck because it failed them, too.Sorry.

My requirements for bluetooth trackers were straight forward: a tracker that 1) has user-replaceable batteries, 2) doesn't charge me a ongoing subscription for a basic feature that doesn't require it, and 3) respects me as its owner (privacy, controls).I decided to go with chipolo because they seemed like they could satisfy all three of my requirements. Now that I had a chance to use them for a couple of days, I can comment on whether they kept their promises or not. First let's go over the good then the not so good.The good:- They work. (Don't roll your eyes. This isn't a given like it used to be.)- They don't require an ongoing subscription to work, unlike one of their competitors.- They will continue to work fine without an active internet connection after the initial setup (so far).- Two of the three trackers use normal, user-replaceable batteries as promised.- They will send emails to notify you if your app goes offline for more than 24 hours.- Analytics can be turned off.The less-than-good:- The "GET AN ALERT WHEN YOU LEAVE THINGS BEHIND" feature appears to depend solely on your phone knowing your location and a periodic tracker connection check; that is, the chipolo app periodically records your phone's location and whether it can connect to the tracker. If your phone changes its location and it can't connect to your tracker then you get alerted. Works great if you're moving horizontally, provided you move far enough for the chipolo app to register that your location has changed, but it doesn't seem to work if you move vertically. I left my tracker 4 floors above me and the chipolo app did not notify me.- Contrary to their claims, Location, Nearby Devices, and Physical Activity Permissions are all absolutely required to use the device as advertised. Fortunately, the app doesn't seem to require a constant internet connection to work, so you can use a firewall app like netguard to prevent the app from constantly sending your location to strangers.- One of the three trackers has a non-replaceable battery. Users are expected to throw it away once the battery runs out.- Requires you to sign up to their service via email or google before you can use their with no way to skip. Have no idea how customers in remote locations will be able to set up their app.- Analytics is enabled by default despite the company stating they respect my privacy.All in all, I'll probably order more once I'm confident these will continue to work without internet access, but I'll immediately switch to a competitor that can address chipolo's shortcomings.

Works as advertised. Wish I had purchased earlier.
