Where are my keys? Beets BLU Key Finder Review

I have one little light-fingered toddler in this house. She frequently pilfers through my bag in search of fun things to play with. A wide variety of things go regularly missing, such as my sunglasses, wallet, umbrella and scarf. 

My keys are her favourite object to pilfer and hide. I have found them in so many different places - in the nappy bag, on her pram, on her dolly's pram, in her toy box, under the table... And out of all places, in my husbands bag, not mine. (I have to be honest though, even without the help of my little toddler girl, they would regularly go missing... Messy bugger right over here!).  

Oh the countless of times I've looked for my keys, trying to get to work on time, and ended up leaving without them, in the hope that either my husband or a friendly neighbour with a spare set of our keys is home. So when I got a Beets BLU Key Finder for myself, I was pretty chuffed. No more hopeless reconnaissance missions, no more knocking on doors.

As a key finder it worked perfectly. You download an application, connect your smart phone with your key finder tag (which is obviously attached to your keys), press a button, and find the beep. Easy-peasy. I could even get the beep from another room at the other end of the house (although, mind you, it's not exactly like we live in a huge mansion). 

You can also use the Pager Tag as a remote control for your phone, so play music, or take pictures remotely. I thought this would be perfect to find your phone if you lose it (but can still find your keys), however, it only work if the application is open on your phone. We usually turn it off to conserve the mobile phone charge.  

I did find it a bit tricky to find all the functions at first - there are usage tips within the application menu options, but not very comprehensive. I was able to work out the key finder function (very easy), the remote control option (slightly more complicated but fairly straightforward), but couldn't work out how to use the  proximity warning and the regional system (which would tell you if the tag is moved outside a certain region - suggested to be handy for monitoring your purse, pets, children, or even bags on the airport). 

One thing (as a mum of a toddler who likes to eat random stuff, sigh) I was concerned is that you can easily pull out the battery compartment which contains a small lithium battery. For my peace of mind I wish the battery compartment was screwed on. For households with older kids or just adults this obviously is not a concern, and I can see the benefits (for them) of the easy access to the battery.

Overall, I thought the Beets BLU Pager Tag it is a great key finder, and has some other cool functionality too, but perhaps best suited to households with older kids / no kids due to easy-to-open lithium battery compartment. 

So tell me, are you as hopeless with your keys as I am?

  7. I have something similar - Lapa (lapa-app.com) - and I love it! It's a bit smaller than this one and definitely makes for a prettier keychain so I'd recommend it. :)
