Wallet TrackR - Bluetooth 4.0 Device - Retail Packaging - Black

I have Trackr Pixels and my mom who has less dexterity in her hands has trouble pushing the tiny button on one of those. (She likes to use her Trackr to find her phone. I highly recommend it for that.) She ended up breaking one because she kept pressing too hard.I bought this because it's easier to press the button. It works great for that!However, there's no light and it's not as loud as the Pixel, but still a good product.

I'm not sure if I got a unit with a weak Bluetooth transceiver but if they are all this bad I would give this product 0 stars. The product's features would be nice if they worked consistently:If you phone or wallet get separated it triggers an alarm on both the phone and tracker. This will notify you if you leave one of them behind. Why this doesn't work: it relies on the Bluetooth connection between the phone and tracker. If this gets interrupted or drops you will get a false alarm. I've been getting them consistently during the day when my phone and wallet are inches apart in my pockets. Most annoying however is that this happens a few times per night even when I set the tracker on top of my phone. So I've had to disable the best feature so I can sleep.Next feature that is rendered useless is location either the tracker or phone. Pressing a button on the tracker will ring your phone, or using the app you can ring the tracker. This would be great, but the effective range that these can keep a connection at is around 10 feet. If I have my wallet in a different room the app will search and search for the tracker and not find it until you are a few feet away.So now that I have to disable the best feature I suppose if I happen to lose my wallet, and the trackr happens to be connected at the time, and if I happen to notice it soon enough I may have a chance of recovering it. Needless to say I'm not confident that this will be an effective tool.

I have used this device several times to find my phone and my keys, it has worked every time. I lost me keys in the back yard (and we have a big back yard) - I took my -one and it walked me right up to them, in the dark I migh add. It has it quirks, and the metal part of lanyard it came with broke, but I just worked around it. I like it so much I bought 4 TrackR Bravo devices and they have served me well.

The idea is fantastic! But save your money. The literature says it sounds at 80 decibels when activated, which is quite loud. In fact, it is not even at whisper level. I can only hear it if the device I'm looking for is within arm's reach and not under anything. Yeah, the unit's GPS will find it, but it will just give you an area. I got it because I lose my wallet in the house or the car, so it's useless. They say you can also use it backwards if you lose your phone, but not really. They say if you push the button on the device, it will make the phone ring audibly, even when the phone is on silent, but it doesn't. Well, if the ringer is on, I could use my land line or someone else's phone to locate it, so, again, it's useless.

Great product in concept as you can change out the batteries (as compared to Tile). It works wonderfully when it wants to connect to my phone, however, I find that it is very seldom attached via Bluetooth. I can alleviate this problem by continually pairing it manually, however sometimes launching the app will pair it. This sort of defeats the purpose as I am supposed to be able to ping my phone from the device should I lose that.When the TrackR is paired, it works wonderfully, however it just loses connection far to often.I also picked up a 4-pack of their TrackR Bravo, and I have the same issues. I just hope I never actually lose my phone for some reason as I don't think I would ever be able to TrackR it down.

I would LOVE to find a device like this that actually works, but, alas, the search continues. The connectivity of the Wallet TrackR is terrible. My phone had a very difficult time establishing connectivity. Finally, after 3-4 attempts it connected. I placed the TrackR about 30 feet away from my phone to test it and it immediately lost the connection completely. It tried to re-establish the connection but never did so, even when I placed my phone 2 inches away from the TrackR. I reloaded the app and re-establish the connection about 20 minutes later and the same thing happened. There is no way this item would help you if you actually lost your wallet. The blue tooth find didn't work 2 times in a row when the TrackR was right in front of me with no obstructions at all. Very disappointing. Note: When I did have a connection the feature where you can set off an alarm on your phone from pressing the TrackR did work. This does not help me though. I loose my wallet, not my phone.

Had to wait a bit for this it was out of stock for about 4 weeks. So far seems to work good I just hope if I ever do need it will work as good as it has been. I can see if your wallet was cover up by something you may not be able to hear the beep it makes for you to find it. Because it's not very loud in your wallet and if you wallet was cover up by something it could be hard to hear it.

I won’t have a wallet without this. It’s probably saved me hours over the last couple years because I don’t have to serch for my wallet. The only ding on the durability is because I have to buy a new one every year because it falls apart. Probably because it gets sat on every day and I’m not small, so pretty good considering that.
