Air Tags and Find Me: A Personal Experience

A mildly disappointing purchase, but a net positive. (Details in the pic captions).

When you move as slowly as I do and discover as you’re stepping into the detached garage car that you don’t have your keys, it can cause a moderate delay.

Joan has been traveling frequently. The only way I know how she is doing on the road is when she turns the car off and the State Farm Drive App registers where she stopped, not progress in real-time.

We took advantage of a sale price to order Air Tags for my keys and Joan.

When we set them up, we discovered that the “Find Me” app we already had would do most of what we wanted, with the correct settings.

The disappointment is that, for my keys, it doesn’t tell me whether they are in the Living Room or the Kitchen….just that they are at this address. Well, duh.

In contrast, and what I thought we were getting, is the find-me part of my hearing aids. I see where they are in relation to my phone and not only that they are at this address but also what part of the house they are in. If I hold the phone closer to one of them, that location changes to “very near.” I wanted that for my keys.

 

Still, it is good to have them. Actually, I bought a 4-pack. If you have Air Tags, where else (besides your dog’s collar) do you use them?
