Loudest Tracker: Roam Beats AirTag Volume
8 Sep
Summary
- Roam Smart Tracker works on both iOS and Android.
- It features a louder speaker than Apple's AirTag.
- Built-in QR code aids in property recovery.
The Roam Smart Tracker emerges as a strong contender in the personal item tracking market, offering dual-platform compatibility with both Apple's Find My network for iOS and Android Find Hub for Android devices. This flexibility allows users to switch networks if they change their primary mobile operating system.
Compared to Apple's AirTag, the Roam tracker distinguishes itself with a notably louder built-in speaker, making it easier to locate misplaced items by sound. Testing indicated that the Roam tag's volume surpassed the AirTag's, a crucial factor for finding items in noisy environments or hidden locations.
Further enhancing its utility, the Roam tag features a laser-engraved QR code. When a lost item is found, a rescuer can scan this code to contact the owner and share the tag's location, adding a layer of security and recovery.
The tracker is also built for durability, with an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, and includes a convenient elastic strap for easy attachment to various items. Priced at $14.99 individually, or available in multi-packs, it presents an economical yet feature-rich option.
