Traxx it 4+

Soo picked this up thinking it would be good since I have a keyless car start. I always have it somewhere but when I go to find it I have to dig in the bottom of my purse. I got the app n squeezed like I was supposed to and nothing. I tried 2 more times. I ck’d the battery type n I have one on hand so I put it in. First of all the battery in it wasn’t the same as what the app told me to use. I put mine in it anyway (after lifting the prongs to get it to fit) and it worked. That was till I put the cover back on it. Now there’s no room to squeeze it. I’m getting another battery the same as what was in it. We shall see what happens.

I bought this on a whim while looking for something for 5 dollars. It took me a while to understand how to pair it probably because I didn’t see the introduction tab in the app. You pair it by squeezing the token for 3 seconds or until it beeps. The ringtones on the app aren’t for the token but your iPhone so don’t get that confused. The token only beeps that’s it nothing fancy. I agree it could be louder but I haven’t lost my keys since I bought it 3 days ago so I haven’t tested it actually looking for my keys. I agree with another reviewer I hope they make the app work in the background; currently if you close the app the token beeps until you open the app and connect it’s the reason I gave it 3 stars because it’s inconvenient for me because I have a habit to closes all my apps and then it just starts beeping. It also has a nice feature that if you squeeze the token twice it rings your phone but only works if your phone ringer is one so again a little inconvenient. Will update review the more I use it

Ok, I tested this little $5.00 gadget out. And it does what it says it will do.
The instructions did throw me off when it said to press a “Button” in the bottom of the Traxxit unit.
• There is no button on the bottom. The whole unit is the button. So those of you that fussed over the button issue, I understand. Just squeeze the triangular pill itself and it responds!
• It beeps or alarms when the app is closed because that’s what it was designed to do. If you close the app, it disconnects your Traxxit from your phone. That’s a good thing. If it didn’t do that we would end up losing our keys or whatever it is we have connected to the Traxxit! Just keep the app connected / tethered or blue-toothed and there’ll be no issues. Sure, it could have background refreshing, but it doesn’t. Perhaps that’s a future thing. For $5 bucks that great!!!
• A 75 foot connection isn’t bad. At that range I should be in the same building at least.
Traxxit is SIMPLE and yet EFFECTIVE at what it was designed to do.
I had no problem setting it up and running in minutes. I see more of these gizmos in my future.
