The device has worked fine and i accidentally drained the battery but it was an easy fix so love that. However, since the device relies on Google find it, is mostly worthless at this point until Google changes the configuration to talk to more passer by telephone. In left the device in a high traffic area to test it and only got 2 pings in a week which isn't enough to track a device.
Doesn't update correctly the location of the chipolo sometimes. Same for the chipolo cards, and depending of the users, some of them have trouble to connect to the chipolo in order to make it ring. Looks like the solution is not quite stable for the moment, any updates coming ? Thanks,
Perhaps a little too early for the German market. At least it seems that not enough people have yet activated access to the Google network. This is because the location is only updated with insufficient frequency and the location accuracy also leaves a lot to be desired. The radius where the chip could be is very large. Otherwise, the chip fulfils its purpose.
Very easy to get started and to setup the chipolo. The only problem is, that they can't handle water. Even though they got extended time to fully dry, I was unable to connect the it again.
Product quality seems to be great. So far Google Fid My device have been diappointment as by default Android phones doesn't allow to share devices location if not in very crowded area. So social finding is at the moment quite useless e.g. in many cities in Finland
Not perfect but hopefully there are updates coming

Not perfect, but hopefully the are coming some updates. But basically it's not a fault of Chipolo. The Google software is limited because of Data restrictions. The tracking is sometimes not actual. Once I figured out that two of my devices are in South Korea. In It was Europe.
