Air Tags.. Good, Bad, Ugly
So my preordered Air Tags arrived today.
The Good, I activated first one, sewing it into our cats harness. She didn’t seem to notice the extra small disk, but when I activated the sound, she couldn’t figure out what it was. I removed the harness, and took it for a drive, the tracking on my iPhone was pretty accurate showing map with homes, and where the Air tag was roughly. So if she ever got out, I have a good chance of finding her.
The cost is $29 with a battery life of about two years. However, you can activate lost alarm. If Air Tag comes anywhere near an iPhone, an alert shows up on their phone, with the information you put in system. Email or phone number. Description. We ran a test with about 20 neighbors, as I passed their location, the info came to their phone, and each texted to let us know it was working. Only way for other IPhone owns can see tag is it own activated Lost Mode. So while not really for a lost pet, it works well.
The Bad…. Downfall, while you could see I was between houses, the sound alert, is very soft, and you may not hear unless you are very close.
The Ugly, preorder took 4 months. So not something you can just pick up at the Apple store.
Added one to parents keys, which seems to go missing more than one would think. I took keys hid them couple times, and they found them within few minutes.
Will continue to post on usage and facts, but so far this beats a tile hands down.
