MYNT ES
It’s got a replaceable battery that lasts about a year, and functions similarly to most other tracker finders although (and maybe others do this now as well,) it also appears to have a battery indicator to warn you when your tracker is going to go offline.
That’s been one of my long-term review beefs with a certain key finder I’m using that I need to update.
The Android app needs a lot of work. The Play Store is riddled with language and spelling errors, the app downloads langplugin.apk every time it’s opened, once you’ve requested to find your phone there’s no evident way to stop your phone from playing the finder music short of killing the Mynt app, I could go on.
In short, this is not an app I’m keeping on my phone.
Lists a lot of things that make its app unique, however having played with other finders I’m not particularly seeing anything others haven’t been offering for years. I mean maybe this is something that MYNT created and others got successful off of, but I don’t think so.
The MYNT ES comes in at a lower price per finder, and if they got the app working I might recommend it.
As there are no stats on how many MYNT users are in my neighborhood, I have no way of knowing if the crowd sourcing will do much of anything. I know with XY and similar there’re a lot of US users. My work is littered with little bluetooth beacons going off that are mostly XY and Tile.
But that Android app is a dealbreaker.
Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon as the price point on the MYNT ES is actually very competitive. I’ll do an in depth review if they can produce an app that doesn’t download random apks, has an easy to notice alarm off, etc.
