Review on 🌍 Gego Global Tracker: Real-Time Luggage Tracking Device for Worldwide Travel - Airline Compliant, No Roaming Charges, Black by Marlo Schlachter

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Great for air travel (updated)

I used it on a trip across several continents and it was good at notifying me when my luggage arrived at a new airport in about 10 minutes and the Bluetooth proximity function came in handy once more. However, unlike some of the other reviews, I couldn't see the bags being loaded onto the plane or being moved around the airport or whatever, just in a fixed place in the airport where they were. The Android app is a little buggy and needs to be closed and sometimes reopened to update the GEGO device's location as it reports "in Bluetooth range" and even shows proximity when the device is halfway around the world is until I close it and restart the app. It also doesn't report all location changes, just the ones the app deems important, which is a bit odd since all this info is uploaded to GEGO support (that's what someone from support says - btw, they're very responsive). , what a nice touch) Update: After my travel season ended, I turned off the monthly plan after a few months of use. The renewal price seems to go up a bit (from $8/mo to $15/mo IIRC), probably to prevent disconnection while you're not using it. I'm not a big fan of it so I might not turn it back on every now and then for a quick trip. Sometimes a new location is updated very slowly after flights. Not sure if it's the lack of signal or something else, but it's quite annoying when the bags run out before the location update.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • There are nuances
