IHere 3 for Negative User Reviews

✓ MarginalIt works for demo. It alerts when it's connected. However, the app and the device disconnect constantly..KcwhatVersion: 3.1.7

✓ InadvertentlyI bought 3 iHere gen 3s to replace my Tiles in an attempt to be more environmentally friendly (the Tile doesn't have rechargeable batteries.) However, there is no way to turn off the "phone finder" so the button can be inadvertently pressed in your wallet or by something on your keychain and even if your phone is on silent or do not disturb it will ring. Turning off notifications for the app does not help, nor does Nonda have a solution other than turning down the volume all the way (but even then it rings, albeit quieter). This is a sufficient reason not to use it- I've had my phone go off at full volume in a 400 person lecture hall and during presentations. PLEASE FIX THIS- otherwise it's useless for those of us who can't have their phone going off randomly/ have things in their pockets that can press the button.Bhc8390Version: 3.1.5

✓ It crashes consistentlyIt does not work on the new iPod touch at all. Everything stopped within 5 seconds.. Way to go!.K.AI.Version: 3.1.0

✓ Tone it down!Cannot use app without enabling camera and mic. Really?! Cannot use app without giving them your email address. Buzz off nando!.Annoyed553524Version: 3.1.5

✓ UselessLoses contact between unit and phone and the only way to reconnect is to have them both together Mine shows my keys are 60 miles away even though there in my pocket!!.Red BannerVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Doesn't work !Unfortunately the iHere device doesn't work so very little point having the App. The battery is dead and won't charge using the USB port either. Plug the device into the USB port of your computer but even after leaving it to charge for a couple of hours it stops working the second you unplug it. So it can't say find your keys unless they are plugged into your laptop. In which case you will know they are there. As I am the first to review this device it doesn't look good for prospective purchases of this £20 plus piece of electronics. Nor for any potential app developers for this device..Tim8464Version: 1.0.1

✓ Decent but buggyVery useful, but the separation alarm will not turn off and it's driving me up the wall..Jenali2183Version: 3.1.5

✓ Voice RecorderGood tool but the Voice Recorder does not work firmware 0.9.0.8.Abu_6LqVersion: 3.1.6

✓ Horrible. Waste of $$Fob that goes on keychain is too big. Volume of beep is too low. App is so stupid: you have to have have "call phone" selected in the app or the remote won't call the phone - it will do whatever you last selected instead (take a selfie, voice recording, etc.). Can't get back to FAQ within the app either. Navigation in ui is crap..ETipVersion: 3.1.4

✓ Buggy??Keeps beeping after every few minutes for the separation alarm. The app is running in the background even though app has been closed and background service has been turned off from settings..S9VVYSVersion: 3.4.2

✓ GarbageAbsolute garbage, go buy water from a public fountain instead!! I wouldn’t give any stars if I could....DvdflnnVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Room for improvementWith regard to other reviews- The whole distance thing NEEDS to be adjustable. I can't speak for others. But considering the main times I want to be alerted (from iPhone or keys) is way LESS THAN 75 feet. In my world, 75 feet is [already in my jeep] from the bank teller. 75 feet is in the next store, while shopping. I need to be alerted BEFORE [misplacing/forgetting to pick up off counter] becomes lost. My thing is to prevent as opposed to having to turn my jeep around to retrieve my $700 iPhone that I left on the counter while going through my pockets or bag, right? Of course I'm right. There needs to be a slider to adjust "distance to alert". As for crappy battery life, mines been ok... But it's barley been a week!?! But if the battery can't,at the very least.. last 1 year, mine will get returned. Technology is as such, that when new rechargeable a don't at least last a year then someone in production is trying to save money at the customers expense. Which today, in business w social media; a few dissatisfied people and your sunk. I hope the iHere guys are reading these. I'll be back to update after true beta testing..VfrpilotVersion: 3.1.5

✓ It works pretty good but it's not perfectI lose my keys now and then. This app, with the help of the iHere helps me find them. I don't use the other features. I do have one suggestion for the developers; make a push notification to tell me when the battery is low. The iHere is rechargeable and that's great, but it's not going to do me any good when the battery dies. Seems simple enough if you can track the battery level which it can. That's probably my biggest issue with the app. The keyfob/device, it's pretty good too. My one issue is that it randomly starts beeping at times, kind of like the separation alarm is on but it isn't. It's kind of spotty. Does it for a few days and then stops..CardinalphinVersion: 3.2

✓ New version is a downgrade.No more find phone option. App crashes when using voice recorder. Disappointing upgrade..T acquavellaVersion: 2.0

✓ ScamIt’s junk don’t waste your time and money. Doesn’t keep a charge and must be plug in the entire time. I got it 50 percent off, go figure! Need to stop it on the credit card.VanessusaVersion: 3.4.2

✓ It keeps crashingThe app keeps crashing on iOS 9. You guys better fix it, or iOS users will have to return the devices.Roger_D.Version: 3.1.0

✓ Oh, are you kidding me?I can’t progress beyond the opening screen of this lousy app until I grant it full access to my phone’s location, always, even when I’m not using the app, *and* then also to the microphone and the camera? Are you people insane? All this should require is Bluetooth so I can make the key fob beep - instead your brain dead developers require privacy permissions beyond all reason. Sorry - I’ll be returning this little piece of invasive junk tomorrow..MoltipleVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Mostly OK, but some weird / bad.Parts I like a lot and parts not so much. What I like: When in bluetooth range, the iHere device chimes loud enough I can hear pretty well (though maybe not in a noisy place) AND it lights up. So if looking for something that's at home, we should be able find what we're looking for -- no prob. I like that it has a battery indicator. And I like that the iHere device itself is rechargeable. Nice that I should be able to activate the camera on my phone and use iHere to take voice notes too, but I haven't tried those yet. What I really really like is that I can press the button on the iHome and "call" the phone that runs the app. So if my kiddo has it the iHere device attached to her keys she can "call" my phone (from within bluetooth range). And/or if I misplace my phone, this might help me find it. What I don't like: The map locator function is very confusing and possibly very buggy. When I try to locate the iHere device from within the app on my phone, if iHere is out of range, a screen comes up that says "Report Lost" and a tiny bit of a map appears at the bottom of the screen (like a half a centimeter tall). I can scroll that tiny bit of map with my finger, but it's so small I can't tell where anything is on that map. You can slide the screen that overlaps the map out of the way, but usually DOESN'T work. I can try to slide it up five or more times and nothing. Then sometimes it will work for no reason that I can figure out. AND worse yet, when I do manage to see a full-screen map, the map seems to show where my PHONE is or where I last opened the APP and NOT where the iHere device was last within range. THAT PART IS SO NOT HELPFUL. If I'm USING the app I know where my PHONE is. I can't find any part of the app that toggles this to show, on the map, where the iHere was last "seen." Sigh. Tempted to give fewer than three stars since the map is so buggy. But I do like other parts, so I'm hoping the map gets fixed. Could be pretty cool, so I hope some of these things get fixed..ALightningbugVersion: 2.11

✓ Ok but........ the percentage of battery shown in the app may not marry with the power in the item itself. And the Apple Watch app keeps showing in Mandarin even though my device is set to English (UK)..Stuart DJVersion: 3.4.2

✓ RobeBEWARE!!! I have purchased all of their products thinking it will be awesome to upgrade my vehicle and most are defective. Very hard to configure if you can configure at all. You have to constantly change between WiFi to use dash cam and backup cam, this is not user friendly at all. 9 out of 10 times it doesn’t even connect and when it does it disconnects. Very poor customer service as you will wait days for response. When you have a bad product you will pay to ship back to them and who knows if you will ever receive a new device. I am very disappointed, I had to return a product a couple of times because it was defective..Robé rtoVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Trash!Don’t usually do reviews but I am so aggravated. The first one quit holding a charge and wouldn’t work unless it was plugged in which makes it absolutely useless since you can’t take it with you when you leave the house. After weeks of poor communication they sent me a new one. It has been charging for over 24 hours and it doesn’t work. You are supposed to charge it until the red light turns green. I finally unplugged it and the light is still red and it won’t go off and the iHere does not work at all. The communication from this company is horrible. Every time I try to contact them I get their stock text that says to send a copy of the receipt and what to do for warranty issues which does me no good. I have gotten the same text over and over not to mention that some of them are in the middle of the night and wake me up. Takes them forever to respond by email. Piece of junk....Wot-22Version: 3.4.2

✓ Won’t work without mic and camera accessJust want to use for tracking items. But it won’t let me use without giving access to mic and camera.Nickname32854Version: 3.4.2

✓ Do not buy!!!!!I opened it and it isn’t charging. I left it on overnight and it’s flashing a green and red light. None of the instructions say this. TRASH!.Mph91408Version: 3.4.2

✓ CrashesI myself have a iPhone four s I am not sure if that is what is causing the problem but with every other app I haven't had a single problem but whenever I click the button to start up the app it goes to a blue screen with nothing on it and then it crashes after a few seconds..WoodsthegVersion: 3.1.0

✓ Upgrade took things awayThe new menu isn't complete. Can't locate car on map, and can't locate iPhone anymore. Really limits use. Please fix!! My app screen does not look like examples in instructions..MhinlvVersion: 2.1

✓ Update disconnected me from my medicine.It's really not a good update that disconnects you from all your devices. Still disconnected and deeply disappointed..WyliepeacockVersion: 3.1.6

✓ NO STARS!Useless. I even contacted them and no response. Save your money this doesn’t work at all. Maybe try spending extra money on Tile instead. NOT RECOMMENDED!.GlidertopiaVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Nope.Worked 2/4 times. Nothing will frustrate you more..AlendbwndnxdVersion: 3.1.5

✓ WHY DOES IT KEEP REQUESTING TO PAIREvery time I open the app all it does is request to pair with Bluetooth and keeps installing updates.. Can't really use the app..Hiftikhar1Version: 3.1.2

✓ ProblemApp stats will not work with blue tooth 4 on my iphone.Trog138Version: 3.1.3

✓ CrashesIt crashes while attempting firmware update on ihere device on iPhone 6 running ios 9. Update 2 Now it keeps asking to firmware update the device. The app and the device is useless as of the most recent update..SaibanitVersion: 3.1.2

✓ Too invasiveI tried to enable location access ONLY while using the app, but that was not allowed. It wants 24/7 access to your location. Plus, it won’t let you get past the set up screen unless you give it access to your audio (to record you-it even says that) and camera. I don’t care about the remote selfies- just wanted to use it for a key finder. This app WAY oversteps on privacy. Will not be using it. 👎👎.Writeon24Version: 3.4.2

✓ Worked well until app updateUpdate 10/30/2015 Lost my fob and the last location shown was over a day old. Did not give me a separation warning. Ordered a gen2 version hoping for the best. App is stuck in an update loop and is unusable again. Hardware seems good but this is a solid string of bad/sloppy software which is a death blow to a device that's supposed to be an always there convenience. Update:10/22/2015 Another update corrected the previous one and now the app seems to work well. 4 stars because it's a 5 star device with questionable reliability on the app side. Update: they quickly addressed the issue and released another update that includes adapting it to iPhone 4s screen... Sadly this update makes it crash as soon as you launch it so even worse than before. --- This worked as advertised until an app update this morning. After the update it runs you through the setup process part of which is granting access to camera and mic. On a 4s screen the camera access button is glitched and you can't press it so the app won't let you continue the setup. Now it doesn't work at all. Hopefully they resolve this and I will update the rating.DevedanderVersion: 3.1.2

✓ FrustratingOn top of all the other reviews. My ihere is no longer charging !! I would Like a replacement with the bugs fixed!.TataCeciVersion: 3.4.2

✓ GarageI’m sorry but if I’m hitting the button to find my phone while it has a significant charge. It should ring. This system is a complete waste of time. Don’t bother.PremareVersion: 3.4.2

✓ Waste of moneyThe device worked for two days then stoped working. In the time it worked it was off by over 1,000 feet. When I tried to contact customer service I was unable unless I joined their membership which makes me give my email address to them so they can use for advertising. Very expensive device that does not work with several cheaper ones on the market with more then one positive review..LaeadvilleFire1Version: 3.4.2

✓ Cool gadget but...I think tuis cool. I only checked out two different ones and this one looked best but i dont like how the app needs to be open for it to work (this means that the app needs to be open and using my data) but i bought it to find my keys and it does that just fine wish the ring would be louder..Pater82579Version: 2.11

IHere 3 works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact IHere 3.
