Chipolo ONE - Key Finder, Bluetooth Tracker for Keys, Backpack, Item Finder, Premium Features, Out of Range Alerts, Works with Chipolo app (iOS & Android Compatible) - Green

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.

I bought this primarily bc my husband would often drive off without his wallet. He would get to the store, at chekout, and have the audacity to have me call out the credit card number so he coud pay. In this day and age that is scary! So, I researched what to get that would be a reminder so if he left the house he would be notified. Granted, alerts come on your phone, and he has forgotten his phone, as well, but at least this works on the wallet, and I got a bundle so we could have two on our key fobs. It has worked remarkably well! By the time he gets to the end of our street the little alarm goes off to notify him that it was left behind. I like that it slides down in the wallet and is hidden and that we don't have to pay for a subscription. Other companies require a subscription to alert you if you leave something behind. So far so good. We have had them for about a month and they have already saved his bacon a couple of times. It is nice if you leave your keys/fob somewhere that you can locate it with your phone. If you or someone you love has ADHD, and loses and leaves things behind, this is a lifesaver.

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.

Easy set-up. Good sound and small size to hide in compartments of an e-bike.

El localizador Chipolo One cumple perfectamente las especificaciones, permitiendo localizarlo siempre y cuando esté dentro del alcance de la señal bluetooth del dispositivo con el que está vinculado. En mis caso, lo he usado en un viaje de larga duración para tenerlo dentro de la maleta. Este dispositivo permite en cualquier momento comprobar si sigue al alcance de la señal del móvil desde la aplicación móvil (es decir, si sigue cerca tuyo), y en caso de ser necesario, mandar una señal para que el chipolo emita una señal auditiva. Remarcar que el sonido que produce es bastante alto, y sería difícil no oírlo incluso a distancia. Hice la comprobación estando sentado en un autocar, y la malea en el porta maletas del autocar, y podía oír en sonido sin problemas. En el titulo de la reseña hablo de localizador de doble sentido, y me refiero a uno de las funcionalidades que más me ha sorprendido. El chipolo contiene un botón en su interior, que de ser apretado hace sonar el teléfono móvil con el que está vinculado. En este caso, esta funcionalidad la he usado cuando dejaba la maleta en el hotel y salía a visitar ciudades, poniendo el chipolo en la cartera. Permite localizar la cartera desde el móvil en caso de que no la encuentras, y en sentido inverso, localizar el móvil apretando el chipolo que llevas en la cartera. El único punto que creo que tiene cierto margen de mejora es la aplicación android. Está constantemente mandando avisos (demasiado verbose), y en algún caso me ha provocado algún microinfarto por perdidas de señal momentáneas. A diferencia del apple airtag, este dispositivo no puede ser localizado por ningún otro teléfono móvil al que no esté vinculado, pero la funcionalidad de sonar cuando pierde señal con el móvil no la tiene el airtag, así que lo mejor para elegir uno u otro es pensar en el uso que se le va a dar. En general una muy buena compra.

Jättebra, min man kan hitta sina grejer direkt. Vilken julklapp!

I love it. Works right out of the box. It was easy to set up. Gifted some to my friends and they love it.

Good product. It works as advertised.
