It is a quarter-sized device that can be easily attached to anything, and it connects via Bluetooth 4.0 with your smart device and can be traced through the tinyFinderApp within a certain range.
With tinyFinder, you don’t have to worry about losing your keys, cell phones or wallets again, and you’ll be able to closely monitor the location of your family members such as children or pets to prevent them from wandering off.
Size & Weight: tinyFinderis about the size of a quarter, and it’s only about 0.5 inch thin. It's also very lightweight at 0.35 oz.
Battery life: tinyFinder uses a standard watch battery, which will last for a year in standby mode.
Range: tinyFinder can trace your valuables up to 150 feet/45M in an open area.
Radar: The radar gives you a visual image on your smart device of the distance and movement of the object you want to keep track of.
Alarm: If the object you’re tracking with tinyFinder moves beyond the 150 feet/45M range or any lesser range you choose, tinyFinder will light and alarm.
Email notification: Tracking record will be sent to your email address when you turn on email notification and when tinyFinder activates.
2-way tracking: The button on tinyFinder helps to locate your smart device if you happen to misplace it.
tinyFinder, Find It Easier.

Weak sound signal, inaccurate radar, signal only lasts a few seconds.
The app in itself is pretty neat. It does what it says it does, with a reasonably good interface and no obvious flaw. The device, while a little flimsy, is nothing to flinch at: a BT chip and a battery, in a small plastic casing with a cheap buzzer. Too simple to go wrong. Yet, somehow, the magic fails to happen. Have we been expecting too much? The Bluetooth link seems way too unreliable, in our polluted modern electromagnetic environments, to maintain more than a few hours of continuous connectivity. Even when setting disconnect delays of almost a minute before the alarm goes off (way too much for the purpose of key-loss prevention), I still get woken up in the middle of the night. I'd love to blame the app developer, or the device; but looking at the comments on every other similar product, I must admit that we users must be the ones at fault, for wanting something so bad that we ignored the obvious: bluetooth is simply not the right technology for keeping your keys close to you. Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute.
What if I use bluetooth in other circumstance and don't want the app running automatically with bluetooth? I use the device to track my dog off the lead but when I go out running I use a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth hands free in the car. Tinyfinder runs automatically in both circumstances eating battery. The only way to exit it is to process kill it. Apart from that major design flaw it works okay. Reconnection means you have to be close and may take some moments and range is slow to update at times.
Try restore the device...when connect only heard one beep and fail!!!!!
The finder will lost even though they're both in my bag or on the same table. The finder will not response after long idle (e.g. stay overnight) as well. About the "App", the "History" only save the last lost location, not a history at all (Or there's some magic to view the list that I've missed?)
With rest of the message in Chinese. At least I could try the app before wasting money on tags
Very poor product, after installed on my Z1 it shown BLE is not supported not working at all. Taiwanese product if wanna go global the maker must go global first.
The range displayed is not accurate at all. I have my two kids test it in open area, the furthest one display as nearest on screen. How can you find anything with it? Very disappointed, I want my money back!
常會突然與finder 失去連線,拿著finder走遠,手機與finder 不會即時提示,請盡快修正

What a waste of money. The app keeps crashing and the device isn't great anyway.
