Does the iTagPro work without being right next to your phone?

Honestly, it’s not really long-range in the way you’re probably hoping. I mean, it’ll show the last spot it connected to your phone before the bag went out of range, but that’s about it unless someone else’s phone happens to pick it up. Worked okay for me when I left my backpack in a taxi, but I wouldn’t count on it for a lost suitcase at a busy airport.

I think it just depends on what you expect. It’s not like a GPS tracker that follows your bag across the ocean or anything. If your luggage goes out of Bluetooth range, the app just remembers the last spot it saw it. That’s usually good enough for me at airports, but I’m not expecting miracles from it.

It just shows the last place it connected to your phone. So if your bag leaves the airport on a plane, you’re not getting live updates or anything. For keeping an eye on it in the terminal or in the car, it works fine.

I just use mine for my keys and it works fine when I’m nearby. But if you’re hoping to track a bag that’s already on a plane, I think you’d need something with actual GPS.

That’s pretty much how these things work. It’ll show you where it last had a connection, but once it’s out of Bluetooth range, you’re not getting a live location. I think it’s fine for keeping an eye on your stuff nearby, but for tracking luggage that’s already gone, it’s probably not what you’re looking for.

I mean, it’s just Bluetooth, so yeah, you have to be pretty close for it to work live. Not really a big deal if you just want to know where you last had your bag before it went missing.

I was wondering the same thing before I got mine. It’s really just Bluetooth, so once the bag is out of that range you won’t see anything live. The last location is usually enough for me though.

Honestly, if your bag is across the airport you won’t get a live ping, but the last known location is usually enough to get you pointed in the right direction. I wouldn’t let the range stop you from throwing one in your luggage.

I use mine for my keys and it works fine for that. The range thing is kind of overblown if you just want to know it’s still nearby.

I mean, that’s just how Bluetooth works. If your bag’s out of range you get the last known spot, not a live feed. Good enough for finding which terminal you left it in though.
