Works for finding objects and phone, not for preventing theft
The device works and beeps if triggered from the phone, and the phone rings if triggered from the device. But the Safe Mode does not work: I walked 40 yards away from the device several times and the phone still did not ring, even though one of the times it notified "bag left behind" on the screen. So it's an interesting gadget but not meant for critical applications.I contacted the company and asked for an improvement in the safety mode. The range of the bluetooth device is 60m out in the open field. I would like . The app does detect the proximity of the device, e.g. "in range" or "almost there." So I asked for the ability to set a threshold for an alert if the device moves further than 5m, for example, and then beep the device up to 60m apart in the open field. This would be quite useful to prevent theft if the safety mode warns immediately when the device is further than 5m from the phone.The answer was: "That situation was studied and implemented in the past and it didn't work well, so they took it out. It will be studied again with Bluetooth 5.1 but it's not for now. In a short period of time we won't be able to offer you that option."

Brilliant tracker for peace of mind
Brilliant wee gadget. I bought it after "losing" my wallet late one night. I was lucky to find it the next morning but the panic and thought of all the hassle of replacing bank and credit cards, plus my driving license etc was enough to make me buy the LAPA tracker. It works like a charm on my Android phone and provides peace of mind. A friend has bought some for his rather forgetful family members!

... Christmas gift for 2 forgetful daughters and they both love it and have found their keys many times
got as a Christmas gift for 2 forgetful daughters and they both love it and have found their keys many times. NO good if they loose their keys and phone :) but would buy again.

Great, when it worked. Not waterproof
I bought this to put on the collar of our cat as he’d sometimes disappear in the house and we couldn’t find him. It worked really well at first and I was delighted with it but it quickly stopped working because it got wet when he drank his water. We replaced the battery but it just rusted up again. Really disappointed as it worked well initially.
