I ordered all tracker flavors (Clip, card and tag, each for Android) and I really (want to) like these trackers. They are rechargeable (big +), small and do what they should. I'm using them with Google FindMyDevice and locating and ringing them is no problem. The Google network is not yet widespread so the tracking through the network only really works in crowded places.
They could be the perfect trackers but I have two complaints.
1. When a tag moves without the owner nearby, it starts to beep. This is a "feature" but it's just annoying because this "feature" can't be disabled. I put one on my bike and every time I set off, the tracker starts beeping, probably because the phone does not connect to it immediately. There are other use cases where this is a really bad idea too, just imagine a shared car or someone else transporting my stuff when I'm not there. Or someone stealing my stuff (yes I know that such tags are designed to find lost items, not stolen ones). So I would really welcome an option to disable this "feature".
2. The tags can be pinged from other devices although I am connected to them or was shortly before. This means other people can use the Android or iOS function in the settings or an app like AirGuard to scan for tags nearby and let them ring. So if I put on on my keyring (which I have), other people could let it ring all the time if they wanted to. The only way to prevent this is to disable the tag which disables the tracking function and basically makes it useless. I would really like a behavior like for AirTags where other phones can only let the tag ring if it was not connected to the owner for more than 15 minutes (or if it was me to decide, more like 60min).
I received the 2-pack from the PebbleBee website very quickly. Easy to set up. Everything worked. Comes with sticky tape and holder. After about 11 days I had problems with the Find Me app playing a sound on the 2 tags. The Find Me app would show where the devices were but could not play a sound on the tags. I had to uninstall and reinstall for the devices to play a sound when prompted.
I am very satisfied with my purchase. In terms of size and features (usb charging and connectivity), my 3 Pebblebee products (2 clips and a card) function as I had hoped. Their build quality is solid. No issues with Bluetooth set-up and connectivity. The only limiting factors stem from Google's Find Device app itself (you could use Pebblebee app instead) - that network needs to grow in popularity to be more useful when out of blueooth range and the app needs to incorporate an alert feature (allowing you to hear an alarm when Pebblebee is out of proximity). But I believe those will come. As far as product itself, I am happy and would buy again.
As I approach the final chapters of this journey called "life" I decided to prepare myself for the inevitable: grabbing my wallet and/or keys and not remembering where I left them!
Farewell youthful memory... hello augmented Pebble memory!
Zeer handig om makkelijk je spullen terug te vinden. Makkelijk op te laden en de batterij gaat echt lang mee.
Ik laat met een geruster hart mijn fiets achter aan het station, rugzak in een locker in een hostel. Vind snel mijn sleutels, portefeuille, gsm terug in de buurt. Makkelijk op te laden en batterij gaat echt lang mee
Being using for 2 weeks, the clip is attached to my backpack. Every time I leave my backpack on my dance studio or at home on purpose, both in high traffic areas of the city, the clip is not picked up by any device around until the time I get back home, which is very concerning and kinda defeats the purpose of this technology.
Do not buy. These trackers do not work well they often come disconnected. I spent over two hours in a chat with customer service trying to set these things to work. They are very overpriced. Just buy tile
No way to make the cell phone ring
Localization only possible to a limited extent (arrow would be good)
I'm really really VERY disappointed with this product
How could I know that "find phone" isn't working when connected to "Find my Device"?
I wouldn't purchase 4 devices (!) if I did.
Waste of money...
How is it possible that I'm buying a product and now I have to choose between 2 of its most important features? It's ridiculous.
You have to mention it much more clearly somehow.
The product is fine. The only issue is the Google find my device network isn't being utilized properly to locate these things when they are not in Bluetooth range of your phone. Google needs to make sure all android phones are set to detect these devices by default like the iphones are with the airtag.
Die Tracker aktualisieren gefühlt 1x am Tag ihren Standort.
Wenn ich wirklich mal was suche muss ich schon wirklich Glück haben wenn es dann zufällig noch an dem Standort liegt.
Maybe this will be better if the Android Find My Device network gets better, but in its current state there is no reason to have these.
It simply does not work!
Tracking only sometimes and ringing never!
Super disappointed!
Got the android version purchased 6 in total, after using them for about a month I am sadly disappointed multiple connection issues and one device has just stopped working, was disappointed with the import fees which added about another £50 to the order, and as far as returns all at the customers expence plus their re-stocking fee of 20%. All in all not a good product for me. No import fees on the listing however that changes when you are in checkout.
These work easily with Google find my device. Therefore, it is only as good as it s supporting network. I expect it will get better and more android devices participate in the network. Also, with the restrictions on lithium ion batteries in aircraft luggage compartments these tags aren't usable in all travel scenarios.
