XY Find It Review: A Cheap bluetooth tracker!

Hey guys, Zi Jin here and this is the XY Smart Beacon, a very cheap bluetooth tracker. It costs $30 and should provide scatterbrained users a much easier time locating valuables. Check it out at the official website

I just saw a youtube advertisement for this device and they were saying how great it was if your car was stolen. Well, if it only tracks up to about 50 feet there is no way one can track their stolen car.

I bought it. And i, d rather burn my money. Don, t buy It.

I bought this for if my atv were stolen as it showed it tracking a car didn't realize I'd have to be sitting on my atv for it to work.

Thanks for this review! Helped me see that their advertising is quite misleading! This was good and honest. Cheers

50 feet?? I want 50 km or its useless.

Bluetooth for lost item tracking is prettyyyy bad if you ask me. The range just isn't ideal.

This equipment really only serves to track things that are close to 30 meters, it is false that if you put it in the car you locate it, it does not! It is very expensive if you consider that it only finds you the keys of the car or your wallet. If your car is stolen you will never find it with this device. Unfortunately, I bought it and on many occasions it has not even found me the keys. It says its advertising that finds your dog. but if the dog is farther than 30 meters this team can no longer find it. Don't spend your money on something that won't help you. (oh !!! and your money is not returned)

BE is not GPS tracker. It is hardly to call it a tracker at all. It is simple Bluetooth communicator, allowing you to locate things within range of 10m. That's it. All of them, whether branded (like i.e Milwaukee does or) or not are Bluetooth, china made, well marketed money suckers. The only GPS trackers, are those using GPS geolocation and are based on monthly subscriptions, that are paid to global network companies. The subscription cost sometimes as low as 7-8 quids a month.

Their advertisements show putting it under the floor mats in your car and using it to track down the stolen car. how is THAT supposed to work, if it's reliant on a bluetooth connection to your phone? I guess so long as the thieves don't take the car more than 50 feet from your phone, or you make sure your phone is IN the car when it's stolen?

Not GPS tracker. It works only on your bluetooth's range. Don't buy this

[johno]

XY Find it's own blurb says 'We've made the alarm as loud as a car horn, so you WILL hear it'. What a lie.

Nice strait forward vid... Sooo say I have one on my race quad and crash... out of bluetooth range, how long does it take to, re connect once I come in range with it? Thanks!

[martynhorton]

So it only works up to the range of your phones bluetooth....up to say..150feet.
You can use their gps tracking but at extra thanks

The YouTube adverts for this are totally misleading. They don't even mention the term Bluetooth and strongly give the impression that it's a GPS tracker with GSM connectivity. They even show it displaying the position of a car on a map which it certainly can't do. All it can do is tell you the distance of the device from your mobile phone up to a range of about 30m and then it simply says it's out of range. It doesn't tell you where it is or in which direction, only the distance. At best it's a key finder for when you lose your keys down the back of the sofa.

Misleading...it can't show a car driving along the road unless you are moving with it, therefore you are inside the car or running along behind it, and it can only track your friends (why?) if they are within 50ft and pretty much line of sight. The only bluetooth tracker that might work for moving objects could be Tile as they have millions of users so theres a (slim) chance your tracker will be picked up on another users app, all other bluetooth trackers are pretty much for when you lose stuff and it either doesnt move since your phone last 'saw' it, or its within 20-50ft.

[matthewwilliams]

Wait what about cars the commercial shows finding stolen cars 50 feet is to short for that

[fbmathis]

I bought three. They can't track themselves even when they are right in front of me! These things are worthless and their advertising is VERY misleading.

[jorge]

Este equipo en realidad solo sirve para rastrear cosas que estén cerca de 30 metros, es falso que si lo pones en el carro te lo localice, no lo hace! es carisimo si consideras que solo te encuentra las llaves del carro o tu cartera. si te roban el carro jamas lo encontraras con este dispositivo. desafortunadamente yo lo compre y en muchas ocasiones ni siquiera me ha encontrado las llaves. Dice su publicidad que te encuentra a tu perro. pero si el perro esta mas lejos de 30 metros este equipo ya NO lo encuentra. no gastes tu dinero en algo que no te va a servir. (ah!!! y no te regresan tu dinero)

[davidcookmfs]

Seems useless. Marketed as being able to track a stolen car.

[hakanersergin]

It doesn't work, don't buy it, be careful
