This review will be as informative and quick as I can make it: I bought two of those and none will pair with any of the phones at home. The apps* crash and don't track the AirBolts. Currently (may 2023) simply worthless. * You need to join the beta for one of the two apps (why are there 2 different Airbolt apps?).

EDIT: I have found a way to chat with support in their Australian TZ. I have figured out a lot of the problems but am still working with them to resolve outstanding issues. I will increase to 2 Stars and re-edit when I have an update with my issues. They are a new company and I am betting overwhelmed with issues on such a new product. How can all the good or otherwise reviews be valid when it HAS JUST started to ship?? I only just got my device a month or so ago and they NEVER shipped before Jan 2023. Support is awful, if you are lucky you get a reply (after the automated ack) a day or so later. Its always from the same person "May" - do they only have ONE person? Secondly the product doesnt work as advertised and the month service trial has so far been fraught with issues and a waste of time. If anyone from airbolt is reading this please get in touch !!! For instance - two devices sat on my window sill for the last few days, one reported in as being 200 miles west of me for 3 minutes and then back to my location while the second one 'did not move'. The accelerometer does not work properly and I can shake my devices like mad and get no movement warnings. Guys I know this was an Indiegogo funded product but you are actually selling these now so how come you arent acting like a real company and supporting your customers.... my email is rswiftDASHgeneralATusaDOTnet NOW I HAVENT HAD A REPLY FOR 5 DAYS AND I HAVE PROVIDED WORD DOCUMENTS AND VIDEOS DOCUMENTING ISSUES... IF I COUL DGIVE THIS ZERO STARS I WOULD

User Having waited over 2 years to receive my Airbolt GPS I am disappointed that it will not connect to Cell in the UK at present. No offer of either a replacement or a refund. They just ignore you. It's is currently nothing more than an expensive key ring charm. Shocking

Does NOT work. Don't buy! Tried two different AirBolt GPS units. They will only occationally give you a location, sometimes off by 100:s of meters in any direction, or even further away. Geofencing is NOT implemented (the app states is as "coming soon" since early spring), but (fake) reviews mentions this as a great feature. Live update is NOT working. You might get a location eventually, if you're lucky, but that can take minutes. Battery lasts a few days, no matter what mode used. Never got accelerometer feature working. Set it to report location by interval, it can't even do that properly. Support ghosts you after a few e-mails. All positive reviews of this product are probably fake, just read comments on Kickstarter and IndieGogo about this product before even consider buying it.

May 2023. I waited for my (paid for) Airbolt for over 2 years. Finally came and it's been almost 4 weeks and it does not show any location (well, show a map of Africa - I'm in Wisconsin). It says it's connected to Blue Tooth, I updated the firmware. Airbolt support has been no help. I need someone to call me and walk me through or replace this item. I really wanted this tracker and may have to request a refund This is beyond ridiculous. Plus there is no dog collar loop for it - you must separately order it which I did the day after the airbolt arrived. Still hasn't come which is OK cause I can't get the airbolt gps working! But really, you sell the Airbolt GPS as a dog tracker and then don't even alert people that it needs a separate dog collar attachment. Not impressed and so disappointed.

Just received my device after my wife bought it on QVC. I originally wanted it for my dog (Larry), and it worked great for tracking while my neighbor's son took him for walks. It was fun to see the app track his progress around the block, and I was able to change how often it reported his progress. Gave me peace of mind that Larry didn't run off. I also used it on my luggage when I traveled down to San Diego as well, and it was really fun seeing a notification pop up when my bag was being taken off the plane. This device is small and has a ton of different uses. I love that it's rechargeable as well. I would highly recommend this! DP

This product, and the behaviour of the company behind it, begs the questions of how they are still in business. AirBolt,as a company clearly have no intention of acknowledging their failures, and to stop taking people’s money, for a product and service (their subscription), that does not work. It is important then, that reviews be left to help people who have not yet been burnt, hear the truth, and I would urge anyone leaving a review here, also post the same review on: https://www.trustpilot.com/revie... There has been an attempt to control the narrative on these independent review websites, with many of the five-star reviews left for the Airbolt GPS, being created by accounts that have only ever left one review, on the respective site. This clearly suggests that these are sham accounts, created to offset the negative reviews, which are being justifiably left. This dovetails with customers, mentioning on the Kickstarter thread: https://www.kickstarter.com/proj... That the reviews that they have left on the theairbolt.com website, have been removed by the company. Simply comparing the average star rating on the company controlled website, to that on the independent review websites above, suggests this to be true. Taking someone’s money for a service that does not deliver on its promises, while making cancelling that service difficult, refusing refunds, or not sending the product at all (as has been the case for many Kickstarter pledges), while simultaneously flooding fake positive reviews across the internet, in an effort to continue your business, falls within the very definition of a scam.

Lifesaver on my US trip - AirBolt GPS The AirBolt GPS is not just a product; it is a game-changer for travelers everywhere. Having recently taken an extensive trip around the US, I was concerned about the potential mishandling or loss of my luggage during multiple flights and transfers. Setup was straightforward; I downloaded the app, paired my AirBolt, and it was ready for action. The device itself is compact and seamlessly fits into any luggage. I used it on both my checked baggage and carry-on, and it performed great each time. I also loved the detailed history log feature. The AirBolt GPS brought peace of mind to my traveling experience. Ssmall price to pay for ensuring the safety of your possessions and the enjoyment of your travel adventures.
