Review AirBolt® GPS?
Reviewers mostly praise AirBolt GPS for being small, easy to set up, and simple to use for luggage, pets, and gear, with several saying the app is clean and location checks are convenient. A few also like its build quality and features such as history logs, temperature readings, and customer-requested updates. But the negatives are serious and recurring: some users report units that fail to pair or track properly, inaccurate or slow location updates, weak battery life, and support that becomes unresponsive, making sentiment positive overall but clearly uneven.
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.

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.

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

What I like most is how easy everything is to use. The app has a clean layout, and I was able to connect the device without any trouble. It's a simple product that does what I expected, and I've been happy with it so far.
What needs improvement
The onboarding could be a little more intuitive for first-time users. I’d also like to see clearer battery-status information and more detailed explanations when the tracker temporarily loses connection.
vs Alternatives
I preferred AirBolt because it offers GPS-based tracking and broader connectivity, which felt more suitable for my needs.
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.
The installation process was easier than I expected. I had everything connected in just a few minutes. The app is straightforward, and I didn't need much time to figure out the features. Overall, it has been a positive experience.
What needs improvement
I'd like to see more customization options for alerts.
vs Alternatives
Before choosing AirBolt, I also looked at Apple AirTag, Tile, and Chipolo. AirBolt stood out because it offered the features I wanted in a simple, easy-to-use tracker without locking me into a specific ecosystem.
Im constantly on the go for business and keeping my belongings safe during travel is a top priority. That's where AirBolt GPS comes in! This sleek and reliable device has become my trusted companion, ensuring that my bags are always within reach. The setup was a realy easy and the user-friendly mobile app allows me to effortlessly monitor my luggage's whereabouts. Whether I'm rushing through airports or transitioning between hotels, the AirBolt GPS provides me with a sense of security and peace of mind. No more anxiety about lost or mishandled baggage. I highly recommend AirBolt GPS to fellow frequent travelers who want to stay in control and enjoy hassle-free journeys!
Purchased the device, but it took 4 months to arrive. Customer service only responded to my inquiries when I threaten to report transaction as fraudulent. Finally received 2 devices. One does not work. Customer service responds intermittently with ineffective solutions. Have pressed them to replace device (I also purchased protection plan). They have simply stopped responding. Device does not function as advertised. DO NOT PURCHASE.

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?).
