Review on πŸ”’ CARLOCK TAG Accessory - Bluetooth Upgrade for Carlock Device: Enhanced Security with Location-based Alarm Activation by Jimmy Bores

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not work reliably, therefore unusable. It's a shame because it's a great idea.

I gave two stars instead of the one star I usually get for something I need to return because it just doesn't work because the idea is great. Set the app to sound an alarm if the car vibrates or starts normally, but if your phone is nearby WiFi will connect and show it's you, so no alarm will be sent. Great idea! If only it really worked. During my testing, I was able to launch the app and it reliably indicated whether my phone was nearby or not when I checked on the app screen. Despite this, he kept leaving the car "blurred" even when the phone was long gone. And the icing on the cake was that it worked once when the phone was right in my car. In other words, it's so unreliable that it's useless. Damn.
