Used to work, not anymore

I’ve had this for 3 years and had no issues with pairing after taking my bike out of winter storage. I opened the ap today and it immediately recognized the device but after a minute it forced me to login again and now doesn’t show my device or let me pair.

Bad

Arming disarming really difficult without re installing app! Blue tooth range useless when in cafe supermarket on bike tour , just a tech headache on a bike .

Generally easy to set up and use

The app is functional and does the job. When I first got the device I had to charge it up - and was confused as to why I couldn’t discover it. You have to unplug and plug it back in and then search for it. If it’s sitting on the charger for half an hour and you try to discover the scout it won’t work.

I do wish the alarm sensitivity slider was explained in more detail.

Pointless invention.

I get it, it’s a nice design but the alarm is pointless. The alarm can easily be drowned out by foot traffic. Secondly, it drains the battery on iPhones. Thirdly the device can easily disconnect when walking into a shop. So what’s the point? I could have saved less with an AirTag that does the same thing but without the lids alarm. The app when disconnecting needs me to restart the phone to disarm the device too. Finally, the location is silly. A thief can easily snap the bottle cage off with the alarm. The yellow cover doesn’t deter. It just shows it’s there. I’ve since spent money on a 4G GPRS tracker from PAJ. Also I’ve insured my bike too. It’s the best option. I’d look into making a louder device with a magnetic pad and larger screws. It really is no different to an AirTag. Also I’ve had it one week and the battery is showing as 90 percent. It says 2-4 months?

Extremely sensitive alarm, bad UX

I really want this to be good. The tracker hardware is good, but the app leaves a lot to be desired. The sensitivity of the alarm is way too high even if it’s on its lowest sensitivity setting. Just touching the bike will set it off.
