### 2/5 — Can’t register

*2025-03-05, version 1.30*

Click on app on iPhone no option to register only log in so not much use to me.

### 4/5 — So far good app/device for the money.

*2024-10-02, version 1.20*

I am forever losing my phone around the house and hate having to ask my neighbors to call me in order to find it.  I have two vehicles and so I bought two fobs, one for each car. It took me a minute to figure out how to pair the devices with my phone because you don’t go into the Bluetooth settings to pair it, you turn on Bluetooth and go into the app to find the device. A word about this in the instructions might help folks to have an easier time with set up.  So far it works as promised. Perhaps people that have it go out of range live in big houses. I just have 1000 square feet of house so no problem there. I have used it a couple of times to find my phone and it worked fine. I can’t speak to the longevity of the battery, however it takes the most common disc battery on the market. Don’t blame the manufacturer if you have a hard time changing it out because due to child safety concerns the government has forced all manufacturers to make it so small children can’t get at the battery. This means that many adults also have a hard time getting to the battery.  At $11 per fob on Amazon I bought another one for my friend who has problems losing phone and keys.

### 3/5 — I don’t want the swift tracker to stay in all the time

*2024-01-28, version 1.20*

I only want to use the app only inside my home.  I can not figure how to turn off the tracker from the Bluetooth. I only want to use the app manually

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-11-09, version 1.20*

Can’t get it to work after setting it up.

### 2/5 — Questionable

*2023-06-21, version 1.16*

Worked 1st time. Then kept saying apps not running and to turn apps on. Tried everything but would not ring tag.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t pair

*2023-06-17, version 1.16*

I have a bunch of perfectly functioning Trackr Pixel but this app is not able to pair with them, millions and millions of these Trackr Pixel have been sold so I would expect them to be supported.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2023-03-04, version 1.15*

Batteries literally last only 3 months before the need to replace. Lost key Ring is barely audible so the device is hopeless. Constantly looses signal. Waste of money. Basically becomes an expensive plastic key fob !

### 1/5 — Pop up messages are annoying.

*2023-02-17, version 1.15*

Not loud enough.

### 2/5 — Battery life is short

*2023-02-05, version 1.15*

It worked great for the first week. Not so much after that

### 3/5 — Mohamed

*2023-01-02, version 1.15*

It’s not bad for this many

### 1/5 — App Useage

*2022-12-29*

Uses way too much phone battery! Also when searching for your lost item you can hardly hear the sound notification plus it only will locate the lost item within a close range! Not suitable lost luggage like the Apple AirTag!

### 4/5 — Lisa New Cadget

*2022-10-18, version 1.14*

Just turned on my new key finder and I really needed this device, can’t wait to lose my car key🌹so I can test it out, thank u Felipe

### 1/5 — It never works when you actually lost something

*2022-10-17, version 1.14*

Every single time I am trying to find keys, the app always shows the keys are out of range, when they are in the same room. When I need to actually use this app, it did not work once!!!! Horrible! The worst! Don’t buy it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No way to sign up

*2026-05-16, version 1.31*

The app needs an update or something. There’s no option to create an account when you first go on the app.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2025-03-16, version 1.30*

Wish I went with Apple Tracker ! You get what you pay for!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what I want

*2024-10-10, version 1.20*

Can use iPhone to find my  keys

But I really wanted it to help me find my iPhone which I set down in  many different and unusual locations 
Instructions say press twice but same instructions  also say press and hold once
Neither works except very sporadically 
Tilemate
 also was not reliable to use tile to locate iPhone 
Good thing we still have two phones as I can usually locate at least one so I can call the one I’m looking for

### 1/5 — Alarm

*2024-09-09, version 1.20*

My iPhone 8 only works once. Never sound after that. The app is en always option.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-13, version 1.20*

This is the hardest app that I have tried to use. The tracker will not ring my phone.

### 1/5 — No good

*2024-05-02, version 1.20*

I am not happy with this product at all 
I purchased this so if I lost my keys it would help me find them but it did not work I lost my keys and it did not work  
A waste of  money

### 1/5 — Poor customer service when device stop working

*2024-04-14, version 1.20*

The app froze and when reinstalled can’t add back to my phone thinks I’m a new owner when required to delete account or have customer service delete to reinstall account to use item no response states 24 hours it’s been over a week. If you can’t reconnect to device to phone it serve no purpose. I’d rather invest in Apple at least you can talk to a human and get resolution.

### 1/5 — 👎🏻

*2023-12-25, version 1.20*

Always says out of range.  This was a waist of time and money.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2023-09-24, version 1.20*

I purchased this item in July and it stopped working now. I do not know why the SwiftFinder stopped working. Worst of all there is no easy way to contact support services. I asked for my money back

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-08-13, version 1.16*

Just received my Swiftfinder tag. Downloaded the app and find NO instructions on how yo pair it with the tag. all the instructions say to do is to pair it. Absolutely worrhless to me

### 5/5 — Glad I have it

*2026-03-17, version 1.31*

Great for when you lose stuff

### 5/5 — Goated

*2026-02-08, version 1.31*

Right to the point, I’ve lost my keys over 200 times and had to FIGHT through my couch and bed to find them. Not with this, the ring for it loud and you can add a photo for your tag bro it’s goated. I’ve found my keys when I lose them within 3 mins, for me that’s record breaking. Amazing product

### 5/5 — Best Deal

*2025-07-01, version 1.30*

Definitely better than the rest I have bought, these were cheaper but better quality, and work good especially alerts when you leave you keys, and that’s a added bonus you don’t have to pay for.

### 5/5 — Mr. Eric Henry

*2024-03-08, version 1.20*

This is a good app to use to find keys

### 5/5 — I love my swift finder!!

*2024-02-05, version 1.20*

I was a previous Tile user, but I had to leave my five tiles behind! More than half the time my tiles didn’t work, or the batteries died or I was so harassed by Tile to go premium and pay monthly for the app I had to leave them behind and my 6 tiles which I had a lifetime of free battery replacements, it still wasn’t worth the harassment. 
I really really like this company and my SwiftFinder. It has worked every time, which is all the time and App hasn’t harassed me. I really appreciate this new system. It was easy to connect to and again it works every time! I love it🤗

### 5/5 — Better than airtags.

*2023-09-04, version 1.16*

I rarely give five star reviews and I’ve used every product out there and this is the only one that’s never failed me.

### 5/5 — Best tracking device

*2022-12-04, version 1.14*

Never lost my keys after receiving this, simple to use and doesn’t drain too much battery.

### 5/5 — Just

*2022-05-12, version 1.13*

It’s very goodI love it I love it I love it

### 5/5 — Love it

*2022-04-20, version 1.13*

Love it!! The feature I love the most is that I’m also able to ring my phone from app even while my phone is off, it is still able to ring.

### 5/5 — Cheaper than the rest. Same functionality

*2022-03-26, version 1.13*

I got one because i found a really good price (5 dollars at a thrift shop). As someone who is always losing things i have already decided i will buy more. They work. Helps find my keys and my phone (as long as i have one or the other). Works great
