Beagle 1.0 Bluetooth Tracker Reviews

Beagle bluetooth tracker

Nosrettap

App seems very unstable. Help file came up in Chinese a couple weeks ago, but seems to download in English now. App locks up several iPhone 6's trying to switch from Find to Locate modes or vice versa. Very frustrating! Tech support said it was my phone's problem, not theirs. Having a replaceable battery in the tag is great, also a must! Fresh Battery died in 2 weeks.

Useless: going to recycling

I received a Beagle as a small gift mostly because of the name. Despite looking through settings and indicating I do not want preemptive notification, most of the time, the connection is lost and the device (on my keys) flashes blue. It's visible through trouser pockets which is comic, yet annoying. That stops when you open the app, and you see that the device is no longer paired. This happens very single time without exception when the Beagle gets out of range. The programmer seems to imagine that everyone will carry their phone and the Beagle tag with them at all times, rather than put one down and perhaps forget where. Either that or they live in a Japanese capsule hotel and cannot imagine distances of greater than 10'. This is presumably a knock-off of Tagg. I've never used one but given that it seems to have a business, I would suggest anyone interested in a little device to help you find keys buys that and not this. I can't imagine how this will make your life better except by giving you an excuse to go for a walk to find an e-waste recycler responsibly to get rid of it.

Let me down

I had Beagle setup with 2 trackers for months. The one time I really needed it, both tracking fobs had spontaneously and silently unpaired themselves from my phone. My guess is that this had something to do with the iOS 10 upgrade, or the app upgrade thereafter. Just a bulky key fob that gets suspicious looks from security guards.

Beagle Bust

I bought a 4 pack of these for over $70. What a waste of money and time. The find feature works great for about a day or two. Then nothing. Beagle disconnects and can't be found. I then pair it again and same thing happens in a few days. Support is ok help. Just get told this shouldn't happen. Well, I'm kit making it up. Bought these for a reason so I want them to work right. No way I'm going to keep pairing the tracker every few days. I'm sure it will disconnect as soon as I need to find my list keys.

connection breaks, pretty useless

I have a beagle on my keyring. If I lose my keys this will be fine bc i can open the app on my phone and sound an alarm on my keys. But if I lose my phone, the connection is broken when the app is not on, so I cannot use the beagle to find my phone. Tethering might be useful, but I don't leave without my keys (can't drive) and not having my phone is a not an emergency. I got one free from a friend, so it hasn't wasted money, but I would not pay for this device.

Blinks 24/7

Was excited when someone gifted me this as I'm often misplacing my phone and keys. Unfortunately if you close the app the tracker starts flashing/blinking blue light and does not stop. I had it under a pillow all night and this morning it is still blinking. Could not find a way to un-pair It. Deleting the app did not help. Just. Keeps. Blinking. I know that if I don't keep the app open in the background I can't find my phone but I don't care. Sometimes I need the battery or memory -- my phones old. A blinking keychain is not something I can have near me most of the day.

Kinda works

Alarm works great but the map is horrible. My location and the frackers location are both inaccurate. May be helpful if I was narrowing it down to a ten mile radius.

Don’t waste your money!

Just as the other reviewer said, when not in range you are no longer paired! I put this on my dogs collar in the event he ever gets out of my yard. A few hours later I left the house. Suddenly my phone was going off. I had no idea why and had no pop up messages indicating anything. Then I received a call from someone at my house saying an alarm on the dogs collar was going off. I told them to press the button on it. It did nothing. I said hold it down. It did nothing. I tried on my phone. I couldn’t turn the noise off on my phone or on the collar! Not to mention the actual app itself is terrible. It should give you pop ups and more ways to control the tracker. Uninstalling app and discarding the “Beagle” tracker on the dogs collar. The concept is good, reality is awful. More work is needed on this.
