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?).
My unit arrived Dead on arrival. Support was initially prompt in responding, and I offered to ship the faulty unit back. But its been 2 months now, and support has ghosted me. Looks like some kind of fraud company, avoid
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.
Now it is May 2024 and I was just charged $59.99 for the yearly subscription which was cancelled LAST May. I have sent them the email of the cancel and their support keeps telling me unfortunately they can't offer refund if subscrition not cancelled BEFORE the charge is made. They are not READING my support ticket. They are beyond bad and now fraudulent. There is no way to speak to someone. RUN from this company and tehir bad product and worse service.
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
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.
I have been using their tracking product for about 6 months now. After trying a few, AirBolt has so far, surpassed the others with the flexibility the tracker offers however, I felt the web platform was missing satellite view and simply asked support if it was available. At that point they replied it wasn't but took my request on board. 2.5 months later, I got a surprise email from them, saying they implemented my request and rolled it out. It is not often I have come across a company who takes requests from customers seriously. 5 stars AirBolt.
As a frequent traveler, I've come to rely heavily on gadgets that make my journeys smoother and more secure. The AirBolt GPS Tracker has been an absolute game-changer for me, providing peace of mind and practicality in one sleek package.
First and foremost, setup was a breeze. Within minutes of unboxing, I had the tracker synced with my smartphone via the intuitive app. The interface is user-friendly, offering a range of customization options to tailor the device to my specific needs. Whether I'm tracking luggage during a flight or ensuring the safety of my belongings in unfamiliar locales, the AirBolt has consistently delivered.
One of the standout features for me is the real-time tracking capability. Knowing that I can pinpoint the exact location of my belongings at any given moment is invaluable, especially in bustling airports or crowded tourist spots. The accuracy of the GPS system is impressive, with minimal lag or discrepancy in reporting.
The durability of the AirBolt is another highlight. Constructed from robust materials, it feels sturdy and reliable, even when subjected to the rigors of travel. Additionally, the compact design means it easily slips into pockets or bags without adding unnecessary bulk.
In terms of battery life, I've been pleasantly surprised by the longevity of the AirBolt. Even during extended trips, I've never had to worry about it running out of power at a critical moment. The low battery notifications provided by the app ensure that I'm always aware of when it's time for a recharge, adding an extra layer of convenience.
Overall, the AirBolt GPS Tracker has exceeded my expectations in every regard. Its reliability, functionality, and ease of use make it an indispensable companion for any traveler looking to safeguard their possessions. Highly recommended
