Beagle 1.0 Bluetooth Tracker

Crap

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.

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.
