Chipolo ONE - 1 Pack - Key Finder, Bluetooth Tracker for Keys, Backpack, Item Finder, Premium Features, Out of Range Alerts, Works with Chipolo app (iOS & Android compatible) GREEN

I was an early adopter of Tile, thinking them a very useful concept: I'll never forget my wallet or medical bag again! Well, I was wrong - idea was sound, but Tile let me down far too many times and I was paying a subscription for them to tell me 20 miles too late that I had forgotten something. It may have been down to earlier Android versions' process management, or coupled with other factors, but I was highly unimpressed. This made me cautious about trying something similar again, and having been stung by Tile, I wasn't going to buy anything from them ever again (possibly unfair of me). Also, I have enough tedious subscriptions, and the lack of user replaceable batteries is pretty unforgivable (and no, going with their more "premium" product is not good enough). I am also not an iPhone user and never will be. Anyway, enough of me complaining about Tile. Chipolo ONE: they work well. I consistently get a chirp if I'm just a few meters away from my house (depending on Bluetooth range and how many walls between my phone and the tag), the app is nice and light, refreshingly no perpetual subscription fees, and when the battery dies, I can apparently replace it myself (we'll see about that...). I've so far been impressed enough to buy two more.

Work like champ

It's useful, but there are bugs. (1) My router is set to reboot in the middle of the night and this causes the app to raise a spurious alerts for each tag, waking me up. Perhaps this is related to loss of accurate positioning when the Wi-Fi connection is lost. Whatever the explanation, it's annoying and unnecessary. (2) Occasionally, I test the "Find my phone" utility (double press on a tag) but the phone doesn't respond, so I wonder if it will work when I need it. This is four months after I bought the tags, so well within the battery life.It's useful that you can disable alerts from specified tags e.g. so the app doesn't ask if I've lost my car when I leave it in the car park (with a tag in the glove compartment) and go into the supermarket.

Bought these as a cheaper (but not by much) alternative to Apple AirTags.Product arrived quickly and setup was quite easy.However, that's the end of the positive review.Tried to share the devices with my wife so she could also track / find the keys etc.It didn't work for two of the four. There was no difference between any of the tags. They were all setup at th same time, using exactly the same settings. However, two of the tags decided to attach themselves to my wife’s profile and two remained on mine. All of the devices were in the same location.Tried a couple of setting changes and it made no difference. Disappointing but not the end of the world.I headed online to get some support from the Chipolo website. This is where the problems started to happen. Firstly, I followed their online help articles. Made no difference.I then tried their online chat help box. However, even though it was during their office hours, the chat bot doesn't take you through to a person, instead it gives the impression that you're about to be speaking to person but instead emails the support helpdesk instead.I got an email response from their support department, asking me to log out and log back in again. Which I did, no differnece.Numerous emails back and forth, I was nearly always asked to log out, and log back in again. The overall impression was that very little care or attention was being paid to my issue. When I finally snapped and politely asked that they read the issue I had logged in the first place, I finally got 3 out of the 4 devices to work. But as the last one was still not connecting to my account again, I'd had enough.I'd honestly, not come across online support as bad as this in years. I'd had enough by this stage. The prodcut isn't up to the job, the support is abiymsal and I sent them back for a refund and ended up buying Apple's AirTags after all. They have worked flawlessly from the start. Save yourself time and trouble and buy something else.

For many years I've wished there was a key ring that I could just phone up to track down my keys when I mislaid them, I do it more often than most people it seems. And its here! though it uses Bluetooth rather than the network which is fine as distance wise as I usually have some inkling of the location of where they may be lurking. Did a bit of research before I decided on Chipolo and happy I made the right choice. It's range is good, as is the volume of beeper. A bonus is that you can reverse it to find you phone from your keys also. You can replace the batteries unlike others that are sealed for life and there is no subscription to pay. Oh yes, the first day I got them, I'd moved my car out of my field, shut and locked the gate, when back to my car which was blocking the road and found I hadn't got my car keys. Convinced I'd dropped them somewhere in the long grass i went back in the field and called up the Chipolo I could hear it beeping and walked around trying to get a fix on it, felt so stupid when I discovered they were in my wellie boot having missed my pocket and slipped between my overalls and trousers! I wouldn't have found them until I'd searched the field in vain, walked home and taken my boots off. And blocked the road for half a day! I wouldn't be without my Chipolo now. Value for money? definitely!

Doesn’t work. Get an Apple AirTag instead.
