I like Chipolo the most. I prefer its design and colour options, the fact that it's got no subscription fee, that the battery is removable, that it works with all phones, the fact that they're a smaller Slovenian company. The only issue for me is that if I were to get a bluetooth tracker, I would *especially* for the out of range searching. And that, like you showed in the video, won't work unless a lot of other people around have the Chipolo app as well. I see that their Spot series works with Apple's Find My network, but for Android users there's not much of a solution. I read that Tile partnered with Amazon to merge the Tile and Alexa networks so users can find their tiles more easily, and I suppose Chipolo needs to do the same. As a Galaxy phone owner, the Galaxy SmartTag sadly looks like the only viable option. I wish all Android phones could collaborate in a private network that third party companies like Chipolo could use. If it ever were to happen, it would be when Google decides to make its own bluetooth tracker and wants to exploit the amount of Android phones around the world. I hope it doesn't happen, but Google could even buy Chipolo if they wanted to start selling trackers. Their colours even match Google's.

Thanks for comment. Yes, the Chipolo's design is a good half-way house between the boring SmartTags and some of the crazy designs by Tile. As you say, the biggest let down is the number of users for the out of range tracker. If Samsung allowed other manufacturers to use their SmartTags they'd be onto a total winner too - there just so many Samsung phones out there. Thanks again.
