Using iPhones "Find My" app, you\'ll see an arrow pointing you in the exact direction of your AirTag. It will also and indicate its distance down to how many feet, and when you\'re really close, how many inch away it is. This UWB feature requires the finder to be in the same home/office/space as you. If you\'re not in the same area as the AirTag, it\'s supported by the largest finder network (nearly a billion iPhones active worldwide), so you can find your lost item within most populated cities in the connected modern world!\n\nBelow is a list of Common Misunderstandings:\n\n1. The AirTag isn\'t Loud Enough: Not True! AirTag is plenty loud, but many new users have set it up incorrectly. The AirTag must have the white side exposed since that is the side the speaker projects sound from. Apple\'s own accessories make sure to expose BOTH the metallic and white sides, but many 3rd party accessories on Amazon feature images with the metal side exposed, but leave the white side obstructed, which looks shiny and nice, but also kills the decibels. AirTags are plenty loud, and the accessories will work fine if you make sure the white side is showing, not the shiny metal side. I expect Apple will address this confusion in future versions of AirTag.\n\n2. My iPhone doesn\'t show the distance or direction of my AirTag items: In order to use the precise pin-pointing feature that measures in feet/inches and points an arrow at the location, you must have a newer iPhone that supports UWB (all iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 models). This feature also only works if the AirTags are within the same home/office/etc.\n\n3. My AirTags stop working when they are at a remote location. Wait a few more minutes - the AirTag will probably show up on a map soon (once another iPhone user passes by, which eventually happens almost everywhere in cities).\n\n4. I can\'t find my iPhone from my AirTag: That is true, and it\'s one feature offered by Tile and Galaxy Tags that AirTag lacks. However, by skipping the ability for AirTags to find your phone, AirTag\'s have a more solid build (by avoiding the moving parts of a button), and more importantly, have better battery life. You can always use iCloud from any browser, or an Apple Watch or iPad, to find your iPhone.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I bought these to locate my dogs and cats in case they escaped. We have lots of coyotes here so I worry about my small pets. These work great in our neighborhood where many people have their apple devices on during the day. I hoped to never need to use it in “lost mode”, but did today- my puppy got out of his martingale collar while walking and disappeared while on our street. We were able to locate him within 10 mins. The accuracy was excellent, it showed he was in the right corner of a neighbor’s yard down the street, and when we drove there, sure enough, there he was! Looking innocent, and happy to see us. There is no way we would have found him so quickly without this. He is a puppy and gets distracted easily, does not always come when called. But doesn’t run far from us either. He was clearly lost and looking for us too. The AirTag only works within a few feet radius of an apple device but it got us close enough to find him quickly. This was worth every penny to locate him quickly. The app was easy and intuitive to use, so even a panicked dog owner can enable lost mode quickly. Highly recommend it!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have used Tiles for a long time (for keys, my wife\'s purse, and our cats on their collars), and they work pretty well except that should the device be out of bluetooth range, you are counting on someone with the Tile app being near it to have it found.\n\nSo usually being an Apple fan (I have an iPhone 12, my wife an iPhone 11, we have two iPads, and two Macbook Pros), hearing Apple would be making one, and that you just need an iPhone to go by your lost item for it to be found, I was excited.\n\nHow could Apple make a product this bad, when they weren\'t even innovating? Literally all they had to do was copy the Tile and then throw their weight of the ubiquity of the iPhone behind it. But no.\n\n1. I tested losing the tag by putting it my garage and then going out there with my wife\'s phone. I put her phone near the "lost" tag, and nothing happened on her phone or mine. It appears you have to actually pick up the tag and tap it on the phone for it to be found. If I thought people would do that, a simple printed lost label or the cat\'s collar tags would suffice. So much for any advantage there.\n\n2. You cannot share tag between two people so useless for tracking devices multiple people in the house might need to find like a cat that got out. Unless the one phone set to the tag is there, you cannot find it (confirmed by Apple support). If that person is at work, a drive away, out of town, etc. forget it. Tiles can be shared among multiple people in the house, so either of us home can find a cat that got out, etc.\n\n3. The volume is much too soft to be audible unless you are right in the same room. At that point the directions to the device finally work (the one new feature beyond my Tiles) but simply being able to hear the device would have worked too -- and moreover would work from adjacent rooms, which the directions and too-soft AirTag do not until you happen to enter the right room. Apple support confirmed there is no way to make the volume louder like my Tile volume.\n\n4. For it to work, you are required to use two-factor authentication on your phjone. I don\'t need that for my phone (unlike my brokerage account or bank), and Apple has made two-factor a constant annoyance if enabled so I don\'t want to use it. But unless you turn it on, you cannot add an AirTag.\n\n5. Relative to all the above, this is small as it at least has a solution. But it is an extra annoyance that Apple couldn\'t even include a small loop or hole so it can be attached to your keyring, cat tag, or really anything else without buying a holder which is the same price again or more for each tag and makes the whole thing much bigger (or perhaps drilling a hole in them, if you were willing to risk it).\n\nI have never been so disappointed in an Apple product, nor ever so amazed that a new product from a major company that simply needed to copy an existing product to succeed would miss the mark so badly. Mine are being returned and I am back to my Tiles (which also have replaceable batteries). I just hope they never get out of bluetooth range, or that others keep their Tiles (perhaps like me after trying the AirTag) so they are still found if they do.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'We bought these, along with key hand holders, to use for our kids at Disneyland. They don’t update a location while your child is moving, but I knew that from my research. So when a little one decides to run away I couldn’t track where they were, but I told my kids if they got lost or separated from the group to stay in one place and ask a cast member or another adult with kids to scan the tag and call me.\nThankfully they never had to do this, but it gave me such peace of mind knowing we have a way to help find them if we were ever separated in such a busy place.\nIt also helped us find our stroller on several occasions when it was moved.\nNow after our trip I use it all the time to find things I have misplaced.\nLove them! So easy to set up and use.

So my wife who is on a different account cannot link to the same airtags as mine, and vice versa. So much for both of us being able to find the same items.\n\n2) They are not accurate at close range (50 feet) and require you to be able to hear the tag. I expected this to work more accurately at close range with close directional accuracy but the locational tags keep jumping location once you get near them. Moreover, you cannot engage the sound notification unless you are within 15 feet range of the item you're looking for. So again, useless if you were planning on using them to find nearby objects like keys or even your car in a parking lot because it doesn't track accurately within 50 feet and you have to hear it.\n\n3) Maybe this would be still good for finding your car if it were stolen or kids at long distance in the neighborhood? Think again, these don't track far. As soon as we drove/walked hundred yards away it would stop tracking. So again, useless for finding far away objects.\n\nI've run out of excuses to keep them or finding ways to use them. Best use to date, seeing the refund back on my credit card."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Small and nice but i wish there was a hole attached instead of buying 35$ loops rip'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Review of Apple AirTag 4 Pack @ $97.61 at time of order.\nVisit the Apple Store\n\nThese have so many uses. They're water resistant, They're pretty tough on their own, but I chose to vault them for extra protection on the dog's collar. They take a common watch battery, and the battery lasts a year or so. Your iPhone will tell you when the battery is low. They're not huge (1 photo with a US Penny alongside as reference).\n\nThey're not perfect. You can depend upon the Apple Community to help you locate a missing item, but I can see drawbacks to that too. When you're at your home, for instance, and lose your keys, you still have to walk around your house from room to room before the Find my Phone feature will activate to help you narrow your search. Otherwise, and to begin with, it just shows the item is at your address somewhere. But once you get closer, arrowed directions show up on your phone's screen to point you to the location, and even tells you how many feet you are away. They're kind of expensive, but a 4-pack is a little cheaper. I've had Tiles before and I like these better.\n\nI do wish that they would let you connect more than 1 iPhone to each tag. It tags to your Apple ID. I wish there was a permission the owner could code in or authorize so that at least 2 phones could be tagged to each AirTag. My daughter and I had to decide which one of us was going to have our German Shepherd's collar tagged to our phone. This means that we cannot split up to find the dog if he ever gets out of our yard, not without calling each other and doing it that way.\n\nI hope that this helps someone decide whether or not to order this product."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'By the time my iPhone “finds” the tag, I’m looking at the “lost” item.\nI’ve used every iteration of Tile available, and they have their drawbacks. Looking to upgrade, and being an Apple fan, I bought these airTags with great expectations that they’d be at least as good as a Tile.\n\nThey were not. They are remarkably terrible in their quiet sound- so you can’t locate the item audibly (tiles are rather loud by comparison.) but the biggest thing is their absolutely LACKING in range. They only can find things in approx a 15 foot radius.\n\nEven 1 room over and it says “out of range” with no hints as to where to start looking.\nThe lastest Tile Pro, for comparison, has a Bluetooth search range of several hundred feet. With obstacles and buildings, it stills gives me a solid idea up to about 150 feet where my object is (once it finally connects)\n\nAlso. You cannot “share” a location. Tiles you can add secondary viewers, so in a family setting, you can share amongst everything so everyone can find the keys, or pet, or remote. AirTags cannot do this.\n\nOverall- disappointingly underpowered. And that’s from an Apple fan. Booo.'}]
