Foundmi App Enabled Bluetooth Tracking Tags are pretty cool. Not only do they come in a variety of cool pop culture characters, but they also perform useful functions, like allowing you to track down your keys, your phone or anything else. And these tags are small enough to fit on your keychain. There’s no need to lose anything ever again. Foundmi recently sent us a sample so we could check it out and let you know if it is worth getting some.

So what did we think? Well, after testing out a Stormtrooper version, here are our thoughts:

Setup-

The accompanying app that you need to use on your phone is 128MB, which is a bit large for an app that provides such a basic function. Then when attempting to sign up (via both email and Facebook), the app would just say that an error has occurred and give no indication as to what the actual problem is. To solve this issue, I simply waited a day to see if something had changed, and it did! Perhaps just bad luck… but wait there’s more!

While trying to pair your foundmi keychain, if your location services is not available, the app will send you in a loop of testing the Bluetooth connection, again just saying that an error had occurred. So we were off to an annoying start, but hey this stuff happens, so I’m not holding it against the company.

First Impressions once it started working-

It looks like the app can support being connected to multiple keychains at a time,which is handy.
The app was a little confusing to get working, but once I got it to work, the functions of the app were obvious and streamlined.
Interestingly, you can use it as a selfie taking button as long as it is paired to your device. Again, a cool feature.
It can show you the status of the battery in the foundmi keychain as well and Alexa can ring the foundmi keychain.
The ringing is loud enough that it can be heard from an adjacent room, while muffled under clothing and behind a closed door. Big noise for such a small device! Good news, because you will find your belongings.
The device’s bluetooth connection range is standard at about 100 meters.
The device can also make your phone to ring.
The location identifier did a good job approximating the location of the keychain, but the address was not exact (as expected!)

The bottom line is that they need to streamline things on the app end and setup, but the device really is as capable as they claim. It will help you to find your lost items. Plus, these tracking tags are all adorable to boot. They come in all kinds of cute characters, whether you are into Star Wars, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Deadpool or just about any other geek character, they have it and you can buy it. Heck, I would like to collect more, just because I love the style. So we have to give this device a hearty thumbs up.
