Actually the owner has the app, and puts it in lost mode. If anyone with a iPhone comes near the airtag, info entered into the lost mode, could include your phone#, what is lost, or an email. Those who gets the alert on their phone can respond or not. Each person who responded in our airtag lost mode experiment, (no extra app added to their phone) texted to say the airtag was near them. So if a pet was walking next to your home your iPhone would receive the info from lost mode. So no you don’t need the airtag app on your phone unless you are the owner.

So if you choose a golf cart, the only time anyone would receive the alert on their phone is if air tag is put in Lost Mode, which would be activated by the owner.
