This is a dedicated app designed for two-way smart anti-loss devices. To use the app, simply open it on your smartphone and pair it with the anti-loss device. For example, if you attach the small anti-loss tracker to your keys, you can easily find your keys by tapping the alarm button in the app. The tracker will then emit a sound to help you locate them. Likewise, if you need to find your phone, simply press the button on the anti-loss device, and your phone will sound an alarm. If the Bluetooth connection between the phone and the tracker is disconnected due to distance, both devices will trigger an alarm, providing two-way anti-loss protection and helping prevent you from losing either device. In addition to its anti-loss features, the app also offers photo-taking, video recording, and map-based location services. It also supports voice recording for meetings through the settings. Please note that the anti-loss function is unavailable while meeting recording is in progress. This app is an ideal companion for everyday use, travel, and outdoor activities. The app is also compatible with iPad devices and can be downloaded and used directly on an iPad. Compatibility: Supports Bluetooth 4.0 anti-loss devices only. Only one anti-loss device can be paired and managed at a time. Compatible with iPhone 4s and later models.
