Ever lost your keys and struggled for hours to find them? Well, Chipolo has an answer. The company’s new Chipolo Plus is a colourful Bluetooth tracker that helps you find things you care about in seconds.
The Chipolo Plus uses an easy-to-use app, which is available for both iOS and Android devices to help you find your keys, luggage, backpack and more.
In order to use the device, all you need to do is simply attach, drop or stick Chipolo to the things you care about and make them ring when you get close. With 90 decibel melody, they are easy to hear rooms away.
The Chipolo Plus is a successor to the original Chipolo, a device made by a Slovenia-based company.
The device can also be used to find your phone. Just double press Chipolo to make your phone ring even if it’s on silent mode. The corresponding map in the mobile app will show you the last place you have had the device with you.
In our tests, the device performed well. We even dropped the Chipolo Plus into our car in the parking lot and managed to find the car using the map and directions. The only downside of the device is that unlike the original Chipolo, the Plus features a non-replaceable battery that lasts 12 months.
After that period, the device becomes ineffective. We hope the company can come up with a way to replace the batteries. Having said that however, whether you want to track and locate your keys, wallet, backpack, luggage, or your kid’s favourite toy, the Chipolo Plus does its job quite brilliantly.
